Captivate 7 slide adio plays but slide objects do not

I am making a slide with a picture and then I have used a Smart Board to annotate this image to explain it in my presentation. To put these ink annotations in, I just copied and pasted them onto the slide. Then I made a voice recording for that slide and aligned all the ink notes to appear at the appropriate time in the recording. However, when I preview the slide, the recording plays but the annotations do not. I don't have a play bar, but in the upper corner of the preview, there are controls to navigate through the project. When I hit play up there when the slide appears, then the objects appear when they should. What could cause this and how can I fix it? Thanks!

My intuition is correct. You have a shape button (first Smartshape starting from bottom) that is pausing almost at the beginning of the slide, I can only see it is already Inactive after 0,1sec. This means that the audio will start to play, since the clip starts at 0secs, and the objects in the stack beneath the shape button will show, but then slide pauses. Why did you choose a pausing point at 0.1secs?

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

Playing audio via object tag not working in IE11

Hi All,
Observing issue with IE11 when tried to play audio using object tag(due to some compatibility reasons I cant use HTML5 audio tag).
Below is the code snippet:
<object type="audio/mpeg"
data="${mediaPath}">
<param name="src" value="${mediaPath}" />
<param name="ShowControls" value="0" />
<param name="loop" value="${repeat}"/>
</object>
The above code works only with 'AUDIO__MP3 Moniker Class' plugin. If the plugin is not available/enabled with IE an error thrown in the logs saying 'undefined' and no audio is played. Even when there are plugins that are
capable of playing the audio. Ex: Quicktime, windows media player.
Could you please help me in this?
Thanks,
Abhishek

Please check this article.There are several samples using object tag to play audio in defferent plugin, Ex: Quicktime, windows media player. http://www.yourwebskills.com/htmlobject.php

Audio plays but the video does not

I'm using the latest FCP and I've imported .Mov files which I've run through compressor so they all have H.264 at the end, however when I play them, the video stays still; only when I pause it does it jump ahead. The audio runs fine.
Am I supposed to run this through Compressor again (ie. I did it wrong)? Or is it just a settings thing?

I have a Flip and that takes video in .MP4; when I brought that into FCP it had a similar scenario play out so I assumed that I was supposed to have it as .MOV so I went to compressor to do that. I don't use Compressor often (read: ever) and I selected the one thing that said quicktime which also said H.264.
Sorry, Tom, I really don't know the ins and outs of this stuff.

Video will not play but audio is loud and clear

When in safari I click on play button for movie, the scren goes white, adio plays but screen stays white.

Works fine for me but takes a while to load before you can click Play.
Do you have Flash Player installed?
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:

After installation of FCE Upgrade 3.5, Objects Do Not Appear in Browser

I recently upgraded to FCE 3.5. To save disk space on my primary hard drive I installed the Live Type media files on a secondary Lacie 250 gig hardrive. The files appear on the secondary hardrive but some objects do not appear in the browser when I open Live Type and click on the object tab in the browser. (only four appear in browser). I went to preferences of Live Type and my computer appears to know that the media files are stored on the secondary hard drive - ie it got the secondary drive location correct in LT preferences.
What can I do to make the LT media files appear in the browser so that I can use them?
Thanks,
Zeke

You only need to post a URL to your web site. We can see your code in Browser.
So, your page looks OK to me in Firefox, but when I tried to check it in IE, it choked my browser and closed it.
You have quite a few code validation errors - no document type declaration, etc... Start by fixing these reported errors.

[Captivate 8] HTML5 Publishing - First Slide shows locally but not on test server

Hi all,
The Question
Has anyone run into this issue of the first slide not showing on HTML5 (and/or SWF) until you open up the TOC and select the recalcitrant slide and then it shows (and operates) just fine? Not on project load, just when it is selected.
The Description
I've only been using Captivate 8 for a short period of time, and I've run face first into a little bit of a bigger hurdle than I expected. At present, I have a simple, linear Captivate project that in essence replicates a Powerpoint (client specified). Everything was working just fine until I tried a HTML 5 Preview from Captivate 8 and first slide did not show. After some research my solutions to the problems I encountered was to:
Local preview occasionally causes a glitch. Solution: Publish locally and (pre)view the result. This didn't work.
Group all objects on the first slide and then attach the action Show to that group. This fixed the problem.
Following that I published it to a host server (test server at the moment, but ultimately it will the live dev server). I encountered the same problem, so:
Tried the group trick, above. No joy.
Opened up the TOC and navigated to the other slides. None of the buttons (previous slide, next slide) worked.
Renamed the "Mouse.mp3" to remove that annoying click. Result: All project buttons worked, but the first slide was not showing (grouped or otherwise).
Removed all master slide objects from the slide. No joy.
Removed the button (action: Next Slide) and reduced the play time of the slide to 5 seconds so that the slide would play upon loading, then just move to the next slide. No joy.
Tried all of the above with SWF and HTML 5 publication.
Tried all of the above with SWF only.
Once again, when I open up the TOC and navigate to the first slide ("Title Page") the blank slide that is populated only by the lonesome borders becomes the Title slide, as it should. Also, local preview from the file (\project\index.htm) works just fine.
Obviously I'm missing something. It's probably something incredibly obvious, so I thank you for your patience.
The Technical
Captivate 8.0.0.145
OS: Maverick OSX and Windows XP Pro SP1
Other: Adobe CS (up-to-date install)

First, apologies--I didn't see the "Getting Started" sub-community so if this thread can be moved there then thank you. Second, I missed some important details.
Project Details
Captivate 8, blank project*. Content at the moment is only text captions, media resources (pictures, two web objects [to Vimeo]), and transparent buttons. The project is stripped of the play bar as it is a self-paced lesson/module.
* I don't have the lead time to make this a responsive design, though that is the ultimate goal once the one-size-fits-all version (1024x627) has been released.
Testing Hardware Details
The following are the machines and browsers I've tested the HTML5 output on.
Mac (10.9.4) -- Chrome 36.0.1985.125 (hangs; need to open the TOC and click on "Title Page"), Firefox 30 (works fine), Safari 7.0.5 (9537.77.4) (works fine)
Windows 7 Pro SP1 -- IE 11 (works straight away! *shock*), Chrome 35.0.1916.153 m (hung, but on refresh worked fine), Firefox 31.0 (throws out unsupported error [known feature] but then loads up just fine).
Chromebook -- Chrome OS 35.0.1916.155 (worked straight off).
Smartphones -- Not supported, but iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1.2) (works fine, but not designed); Galaxy S5 Chrome (broken).
Tablets -- iPad2 (iOS 7.1.2) (play button loads partial content, on refresh works fine); Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Chrome (broken), Android Browser (works fine).
I'm more than willing to share a link to the project and the Captivate 8 file, but just thought that I would see if this gets any traction/recognition before going deeper.

Captivate 5 - Text Animation Does not Play on Slide 1 Only

I am using Captivate 5, updated to 5.0.1, with Windows XP, SP 3. Publishing as Export to HTML.
The problem I am ecperienced just started in the last few days, sometime after 3/18/2011. I think this issue is different from similar problems reported in January, which seemed to impact all text animations.
The problem is that text animations on slide 1 work OK in slide preview mode, but do not display at all in project preview mode or when published.
Text animations work on all other slides. If I put a .blank slide in the project, so the failing slide 1 becomes slide 2, then the text animation plays OK, but I do not like such a workaround.
In deliverables generated on 3/18, the text animations work on slide 1. If I regerate the same projects, the slide 1 animations no longer work.
Has something been changed with Captivate 5 or Flash that is causing this problem? Any suggestions?

I don't think you are missing anything. I am using the "Light_PAssage" animantion, but switching to the one you used has no impact.
For me, if there is a text animation on slide one, it will play in File->Preview->Play Slide. It will not play in FIle->Preview->Project, From this slide, or Next 5 slides.
The issue occurs in all my Captivate 5 projects, including projects that previously generated properly working outputs as recently as 2/23/2011.
Is it possible it's related to Flash player? I am using Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX 10.2.152.26.
I will send an example cptx to your email address. The example includes a blank slide one, and the text on slide 2 plays as expected in the previews and in the generated output. If I remove the blank slide 1, the text animation on the new slide 1 no longer plays.
Thanks.

I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

I inserted a HTML5 video in page, when I test it in a Browser, I see the poster image and controls, But when I click play button the video goes white, slider moves like its playing, but just white picture. There was no audio included in video. Please help

Without a link, it's anybody's guess.
It could be a problem the video rendering itself. Which software did you use?
Did you export to the 3 file types -- MP4, OGG and WEBM to support all browsers?
Does your web server support those 3 MIME file types?

Audio not playing in slide play mode

This is an odd problem which I've never come across before. I
installed Captivate on a new system. I recorded audio onto a slide.
When I edit the audio (have the edit audio screen displaying), it
sounds great. In the slide edit view, I can also right click the
audio and play, again hearing it perfectly. If I simply choose
"Play this slide" or hit the space bar; however, the slide plays
but no audio. Its the oddest thing. Captivate plays the audio in
every mode except in edit mode...which, as you can imagine, is
going to make it a nightmare to actually align graphics with audio.
can anyone help me?
Thank you!
Nikki

Hi Nikki
My guess is that you have muted the slide. Look between the
Timeline and main editing area. Just below where you toggle and
lock slide objects.
Take a look at the image

End of slide - click play button

My presentations have audio narrations of varying lengths.
The beginning of the presentation indicates that the users need to
click play to advance from slide to slide, but it appears some
users are unsure when a slide has ended so they sit there for a
while before they get around to hitting the play button to advance
(I don't want to auto-play the presentation because I want them to
have more control over navigation and to prevent them from just
spacing out and losing track of where they are). I find it
annoyingly repetitive to say something like "Click play to
continue" at the end of each slide - and since many slide have
Captivate animations covering the whole screen, having a text
prompt display doesn't seem like it would work very well.
Has anyone experimented with either using some kind of tone
or sound to indicate the end of a slide, kind of like they do on
some language tapes to indicate the user needs to do something? Or
else is there an actionscript way to make the play button highlight
in an obvious way?
Any ideas are appreciated, thanks!

Delayed text captions not appearing (except in Preview "Play this slide")

Can anyone explain why my delayed text captions are not appearing in any mode BUT Preview/Play this slide. When I do that type of preview, the text captions show up exactly when I set them (starting at 27s - and are set to display for 'rest of slide').
There are eight delayed text captions and none of them show up with I preview the Project, From this slide, or Publish.
The visible flag is on, time is "rest of slide", appear after 27s, effect is not relevant, and it is not a layers issue.
Thank you

Hi Shawn
Belive it or not, I wasn't being sarcastic. Only Buttons, Click Boxes or Text Entry Boxes will pause playback of a slide. So I figured if I asked how many you had, you would scrutinize the slide and perhaps discover one you had missed.
Play this slide doesn't behave like the other preview. This doesn't mean it's bad, just different. You simply have to understand that the only real reason for using that type of preview is to achieve a rough representation of timing elements. When will they appear and disappear. As you have discovered, you may not interact with them. You may only watch them. It's a bit like watching something through a window. You cannot reach through it and touch anything.
Cheers... Rick

Transparent background in Captivate Flash movie on all slides

hi im trying to make background transparent, and I've achieved it in first slide of presentation, but when slide changes the background changes to white.
Im using transparent png as tile in stage background and changed parameter in html file - so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
The presentation is in:
http://intersiec.com.pl/captivate/index.html
The source file:
http://intersiec.com.pl/captivate/szkolenie.cptx
Can You help me make whole presentation background transparent?
Best regards,
Kamil

Hi Erik
The fact so much time has passed since your first post would seem to indicate you have managed to stump all of us. LOL
I know way back around Captivate 1, 2 or 3 I would play with creating a transparent background, but I also recall that one of the versions seems to have unfortunately broken that.
Frankly, I'm surprised you are able to coax the initial load to be transparent. And about the only think I can think of to suggest here is to look at the properties for slide 2 forward and see what's different between them and the first slide. Master Page? Maybe by doing that you will find the "secret sauce". If you do, please share!
Cheers... Rick
