Captivate 7 -- Insert Blank Slide bug?

Hi,
I'm creating a tutorial in Captivate 7 (Win 8.1) using screen shots (taken from another computer using Windows 8.1 Update). I would like the last slide to be a blank screen that I will then mock up. I use "Insert > Blank Slide" to do so. The slide, in the filmstrip, appears to be blank. However, when I click on the slide, it shows a screen shot from a previous slide. I can't get rid of it. The image file doesn't appear in the Timeline nor, as already stated, in the Filmstrip.
What can I do? I want to add a SmartShape to cover the screen but I want the alpha toned down to 80%. When I do that, I can see the background image that shouldn't be there in the first place. Help!

Check if the timing of the image on the previous slide is set to Rest of the Project.

Insert Blank Slide 100% cpu utilization

I tried to start from scratch assuming the files have become
corrupt. When creating a new captivate, inserting a blank slide
maxes cpu and pf usage jumps instantly to freeze the workstation.
Not responding.
reboot.
Again.

Hi Margaret_M
Reason I asked about networks is that I experienced similar
problems in the past, because I was connected to a company network
and the autosaving of data from my machine to the company servers
during capture created problems under the following circumstances:
Open Captivate
Record a section of the app
Edit the section
Record a new section (before saving again)
Saving between recording sessions seemed to fix the problem
Could this be it? Heres hoping

Inserting Blank slide

Is there a way to insert a blank slide into a project that has 'rest of the project' selected for graphics and text? Basically I want to insert a blank slide into a template. I don't want the properties from the previous slides to carryover to the blank slide.
Thanks for your help,
Traci

You'll need an advanced action to hide those objects on the blank slide. This will do the job, but you cannot re-show the objects on the slide after the blank slide. I blogged about possibilities of showing/hiding objects in Captivate, perhaps that will explain better what I mean:

Inserting Blank slides

I am using Captivate 1 and creating a project with blank
slides that link to movies. I have created a "template" with a
header and several objects that I want to appear on every slide.
They are .bmp images.
When I insert a blank slide my images do not persist even
though I selected "Display for rest of movie" in the Options tab. I
have seen presentation where adding a blank slide creates a slide
with the header or whatever on it but I don't know how it was done.
Any ideas?

Welcome to our community, stephlyn42
My question back to you would be to ask where exactly you are
inserting the Blank slides?
If you inserted an image on perhaps Slide 4 and configured it
for the project, it only should appear on slides that follow the
image. So if you inserted the Blank slide on perhaps Slide 2, it
won't show there.
If that isn't it, I'm a bit stumped... Rick

New slide vs. blank slide

In Captivate 5, what is the difference between choose Insert > New Slide or choosing Insert > Blank Slide?

Hi Mukul
Would it be fair to say a "stencil" is another term that would represent a slide associated with a Master Page?
Cheers... Rick

How do i add a blank slide

How do i add a blank slide and text?

In the slide show album
As Frank said, only you have to pick a slideshow Theme that will allow it (Classic, Ken Burns). For example, in the "Places" theme these options to insert blank slides will be grayed out (in Aperture 3.4.3), since this theme creates its own titles based on the locations. Switching between themes will not help. Title slides inserted using another theme will simply be removed.
With "Places" or "Reflections" the cogwheel menu will look like this: You'll have nearly no control about the slide transitions at all:
To add blank slides to a slideshow these themes, create images with a solid black or white background by adjusting new versions of your images or creating them in an external editor.

Blank slides in sliding panels

I used to be able to insert blank slides into the sliding panels theme. I did this all the time to manipulate the slideshow to display the way I wanted, and to create chapter breaks. I have a few published slideshows that prove it. Now, however, the function is greyed out unless I'm in Classic or Ken Burns themes. When I open my working files of those published slideshows all the places where the blank slides were (originally black to match the background) are white boxes. Anyone have any idea what happened?

Entering free text on a blank slide in captivate

Hi All,
I,m trying to enter a blank slide that conveys a list of taks
to complete in my captivate project. I already have an animation
slide as my opening slide. As a temporary measure i have entered
the list of tasks as a powerpoint and exported into captivate.
Any suggestions?

Blank boxes when I insert question slides.

I posted this yesterday and no one replied... Hopefully
someone can give me some advice. Thanks!!
I am trying to create a new project in CP3 and once I publish
the project, there are 2 blank boxes on each slide and the movie
stops on the second slide. These projects consist of 8 PPT slides,
7 image slides, and 5 questions slides... and this project is
narrated. I have tried creating the project again hoping the blank
boxes would go away and that didn't work. So I published this
module one slide at a time to try and determine the root of the
problem. I can publish all 15 slides of images and PPT as a SWF
file with no problem. But once I insert question slides, that's
when the blank boxes appear and the module stops on slide 2. I
think this is odd considering my question slides are the last 5
slides of the module but the blank boxes start on slide one. When
previewing each slide, each 5 slides, or the entire project, there
are no problems. It's just once I publish the project. I've tried
publishing to SWF file and a stand alone disc.. same problem. I
also tried bringing up a module I had done before on CP1 and
converted the files, made no changes to the project and just
published it with CP3 as SWF file. I got the blank boxes and the
project stopped at the second slide. The question slides I have are
simple T/F or multiple choice slides and I don't have them set up
to record results.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've published about 25 of
these modules in CP1 and never had this problem in the past. I
would be happy to send someone an example of what I'm talking
about.
Thanks!

Thanks for responding. No, I don't have any interaction on
the project. I even tried to create a new project and inserted 2
PPT slides (with text only) and then one question slide... I just
made up a simple T/F question just to have a question slide in that
project and once I published it, it happened again. If I deleted
that question slide and published, the blank boxes were gone and it
didn't freeze up.
I was on the phone all morning with Adobe support and they
suggest I reinstall the software. All software disks for my company
are located at home office so once I receive the software tomorrow,
I'll try it again. If that doesn't work, I'll certainly appreciate
any help.
Thanks!

I'm in a multi-page document, how can i rearrange the pages or insert blank pages in front of pages? Also, is there a way to show the ruler both horizontally and vertically?

I'm in a multi-page Pages document, how can i rearrange the pages or insert blank pages in front of pages? Also, is there a way to show the ruler both horizontally and vertically?

Not on my document. I have a 7 page document open. The "flashing vertical bar" is at the top of page 3. I have the thumbnail view showing. I click page break and two blank pages are added to the end of my document. I have to scrool thru the pages to see that the 2 pages were added as they do not appear in the layout view... I'm not sure if it is inserting a "section" as it adds two blank pages.. But I am clicking on "INSERT PAGE BREAK".. So guess there are still a lot of bugs to fix..
Thanks again

Is it Possible to Insert Quiz Slides at Set Times During a Video?

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to Captivate, so I apologise in advance if this question has already been answered and I couldn't find it.
I work in higher education and we create a lot of screencasts with academics speaking over Powerpoint presentations. During a presentation there is often several points where the academic would like to ask the user a question. What I want to know is if there's a way of adding question slides during a video?
Many thanks,
Ross

You will have to split up that video to be able to insert slides in between.
