Captivate 8 project - how is resultion actually determined ? i have video demo , imported ppt, quiz. i see a number, i don;t see hw it was determined or how to change it

bottom right says 960x720 . i search and search, but i find no discusssion of this and i don;t see any explicit control method.
Should i care ? I think I do, since captured video text is ugly or unreadable at wrong resolution or scaling factor.

Powerpoint is a weird application, but that is only my personal opinion, because the 'resolution' is specified in print units like cm or in which is insane for an application that is primarily meant for screen views.
Captivate's resolution is (logicallly) in pixels, and 920x720 is in px. When importing a PPT CP translates the print units to pixels.
Best practice is to create a Captivate file in the resolution you want to publish it, each rescaling will lead to a decrease in quality. Project rescale is first option in the Modify menu. If you are creating a responsive project, you'll have the choice for 3 such resolutions: Primary (desktop), Tablet (for Portrait mode on tablet) and mobile (Phone). Each breakpoint view can have a (slightly) different layout and between those resolutions the project will rescale, keeping the layout of the higher breakpoint.

Adobe Captivate 7 Project How to make Rollover cations, audio, and video work in HTML format?

Adobe Captivate 7 Project How to make Rollover cations, audio, and video work in HTML format?

Honestly, I don't even know why this is an option. The conversion to Flash is completely unusable.
I have exported some things to Flash, and since I program in Flash all the time I was able to manipulate to work to some degree. Most text captions are built with multiple elements and completely fall apart.
Sorry, I can't be of more help.

Use old C3 swfs in Captivate 5 project - how best to convert?

I'm updating some old elearning content created in Captivate 3 in Captivate 5.
This features some animations which are small 1 or 2 slide C3 swfs.
These don't work in C5 as they are set up in ActionScript 2.
I've tried opening their original .cp files in Captivate 5 and then republishing to make them AS3.
This results in the animation (sometimes) playing when I play the slide in the editing window, but when previewing or
publishing I get a grey blank that does nothing.
Strangely the whole C3 project that contained the swfs comes through relatively unscathed apart from this (well a few invisible buttons and some font changes).
The only workaround I've got at the moment is to open the file in C3, copy the background, then use the background in a new C5 project and fiddle around with mouse positioning etc, which is far from ideal.
Is there a better way of doing this?
(BTW I also have access to C4 if this helps)
Thanks
Lynn

I would try upgrading my Cp3 project files that generate these SWFs first to Cp4 format, and then from Cp4 to Cp5.
Once you have them in Cp5 format your issues should be minimal as far as compatibility goes.

Is there any way to PAUSE/RESUME the actual recording while recording a Video Demo slide in Captivate 8?

If I have to take an "off-screen" action while recording a video demo slide in Captivate I am forced to END and start a separate video demo to continue.
This fragments my demo and seems an unnecessary set of steps.
Is there a way to pause the recording for long enough, say to clear my throat, and then resume?
Thanks.

Hi kjjr54,

Captivate 7 - Video Demo Function

Hi, I am a brand new user to captivate and i am wanting to make use of the video demo option to record a training session on Microsoft Office Applications. This requires me to record both the screens that i am using and my voice (using a headset). I am currently fumbling around with this because i cannot seem to find any help material or tutorials on how to use it - is there anything available? Also, just one really simple question, how do i pause the demo and then re-start it? I can currently only end the project using the End key.
Thanks for any help.

Hi there,
Welcome to Adobe Forums!
For detailed information on recording in Captivate you can launch the online help of Captivate : http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/topics.html# then check the recording section.
If you are recording in Video Demo, then you cannot Pause the recording, Puase works in case of recording software simulation.
We can only record one screen at a time in Captivate, voice can be recorded during recording the screen.
To edit the recording Preferences, please go to Edit > Preferences > Recording.
However, after ending the video demo recording you can record additional slides (insert > video recording), after recording all the slides, you can edit the slides (Split, Pan and zoom, and Trim).
Thanks.

Go back into Quiz, Preferences, Pass or Fail. Uncheck 'Retake button' and check it again, it will reappear on the Score slide.

How to export a Captivate 8 project to Power Point?

I would like to be able to export my Captivate 8 project to PowerPoint so I can use it in a classroom training session and also be able to print out the slides to use as handouts. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks Lillybiri, good tips! I have a couple of other questions for you:
1. When I print my handouts it resizes the slides to make them shorter, do you know if there is an option to keep the standard size of the slides?
2. When you publish to PDF how do you manage the timings without playing the audio? Obviously the trainer wouldn't teach at the same pace as the audio so there needs to be a way for the trainer to manually advance to the next slide/animation view.
Thanks,
Juliette

Captivate 8 - How to change to producing "project.json" file instead of a "project.txt" file? Having issues with viewing published projects due to this.

Captivate 8 - How to change to producing "project.json" file instead of a "project.txt" file? Having issues with viewing published projects due to this. Would be thankful fo rany/all advice.

I'm having the same issue. I've been able to work around it by opening the txt file and copying the contents. Then I open a new file in Sublime Text 2, paste the contents and save the new file as "project.json". It seems to work, but it'd been nice if I didn't have to do this everytime I publish a new project.

How do I post a Captivate 7 project in a Wordpress site?

I work for a school district that uses Moodle so posting my projects on our district site has been relatively easy. I have my own site hosted by Siteground and I use Wordpress to develop the site and I want to post projects there also.
I can't seem to figure out how to post my Captivate 7 projects to my personal site.
When I try to load projects as SWF files I get a notificaiton that says, "Due to security issues, you are not able to load SWF files to this this site."
I want to load HTML5 files so Mac users can view and interact with the project but I can't figure this out.
I have a Lynda.com memebership but this doesn't seem to be covered on any of the tutorials - Or, I haven't found it yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom Hanninen

Thanks for the link. I like your plugin but I have a concern that you may be able to address. I saw this message on your site:
My skill with Wordpress is VERY little. I am using Siteground as the host and I don't really understand how to access files on the site. Basically I can change the appearance, add pages, add content, etc., but I don't know what a php.ini file is and would have no idea how to manipulate that. If I got that error would the people at Siteground or at Wordpress be able to fix that easily?
I ask this because I have tried to use certain plugins and couldn't get them to work. I have no problem spending the money on your plugin since it appears to work VERY well but I don't want to spend the money then not be able to use it because I don't understand how to manipulate files on Wordpress.
Again, thanks for the link.

Does anyone know how to insert an Articulate Engage interaction into a Captivate 2 project?

I would like to insert an Articulate Engage interaction into
a Captivate 2 project. And,er, that's it really. Does anyone know
how to do it? When I try to insert the Articulate project as an
animation, it functions fine in the preview screen, but once it's
been inserted all I get is the loading screen.

Hi again darren.winter
If I were in your shoes, here is what I'd try. Place the
content from Articulate in a specific folder. Then publish your
Captivate to the same folder to ensure all files are there
together. Then test. Obviously, this may work or it may fail. And
just as obviously, if it works, you're done!
If it fails, I think I'd try publishing my Captivate using
different settings. Try publishing for different Flash versions.
You might find that if you target Flash 6 it fails, but 7 or 8 may
work.
If the Flash version bit fails, are there some settings in
Articulate that allow you to reduce the number of files that are
required? For example, I know that when Captivate 2 came out, many
folks had to scramble (and some still do) over the fact that it
produced multiple output files. Some LMS' didn't like the fact
there were typically two .SWF files to distribute. We then learned
we could eliminate one of the .SWF files by turning off the
borders. So I'm wondering if perhaps Articulate may have similar
output options you could use.
Hopefully something here helps... Rick

How to add a Captivate 5 Project into RH for Word?

I have to add a captivate simulation project into my Help project, and was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible. I searched Captivate's help, and they say you can with RH HTML, but I am currently using:
1. RH for Word Build 8.0.0.203
2. Captivate 5.0.0.596
The Help project is a Single Source Layout with WinHelp 2000 primary layout. Any ideas?

Opening Captivate 4 project in 5 adds to slide notes, read by TTS

I have a project that was started in Captivate 4, and when I open it in Captivate 5, it does the conversion and introduces 
 in the slide notes which the TTS speech egnine reads.
First, any ideas on why this would be happening, how to prevent it?
Second, is there a way to do a seach and replace within the slide notes? The regular Find and Replace dialog doesn't show a Search In option for notes.

all,
I actually found the answer to my own question, in a way.
One of my projects apparently was corrupt an it was causing the issue with the disappearing notes. However, after rebooting my computer, clearing the Adobe Captivate Cached Projects, I opened a different project in Adobe Captivate 5, and all the notes were in place. After a while, I figured that as long as I don't open the corrupt file, my notes remain in place. I had to recreate the corrupt file though and save it with a different name.
I also noticed that the files are more likely to get corrupted if they are long (over 70-80 slides long) or if they have a lot of animations (really a lot).
As for the people using Captivate 3.... You may be used to Captivate 3 and it may be hard to switch software, but Captivate 5 is a lot more powerful and has a lot less issues than Captivate 3 ever did. I would reconsider, if I were you...
Sometimes, simply republishing a project helps...
If the "stop" button is a problem, I'd copy all the slides (in the source file) to a fresh new project, except for the one with the stop button; and then I would try to recreate the button that causes the issue, save and republish the new project.

Captivate 7 Project Crashing iPad Safari

I have a particular slide in my HTML5-published Captivate 7 project that repeatedly crashes my 2nd generation iPad's browser (Safari).
The slide contains 18 png images (total size <3mb), nine text entry boxes and 9 click boxes. Shuffling some of the content along the timeline to stagger the amount that loads simultaneously helps the slide to load without crashing but as soon as I tap one of the hotspots the browser crashes again.
It seems like a memory issue on the iPad and I was wondering whether anyone else had encountered, and overcome a similar issue and how they did it?
This is a major concern for me as these are basic things that I am trying to achieve and it seems as though I'm spending more time trouble shooting my content than actually developing it at the moment.
Thanks.

I've been carrying out further tests based on my post above and have a few more details.
The items that seem to be causing the problems are nine individual groups, each containing an image, an image button, a text caption and three smart shapes. None of the groups are set to be visible on output and are shown using an advanced action (show) that is attached to one of nine click boxes on the slide. Once a group has been shown it can be hidden again by clicking the image button within the group, again using an advanced action (hide).
To test that this was the cause of the issue I first removed all of the hidden groups from the page and published the project. Safari on my iPad didn't crash when there were no hidden groups.
Next I gradually added one group at a time back in to my project, finding that it didn't crash with five hidden groups but it did with any more.
I hope that this is of some interest and that there might soon be a way to get around this. Personally I think that the addition of a popup slidelet that is native to captivate might be the way forward.
Although the post I'm linking to here started off discussing rollover slidelets there is some discussion relating to pop ups towards the end: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4663740#4663740

Different Color Text of Topic Titles by Child Project in Search Results List

Does anyone know how I can change the text color to indicate the source project of a topic as displayed in the Search Results list?
I have followed Peter Grainge's directions for setting up a parent project that has several child projects, one of which contains outdated version-specific information. Thanks, Peter!
I would like it to be obvious to the user before they open a topic from the Search Results list that it is from the old legacy project.
I have found where the font is set, (thanks to the RoboWizard), but I am not a Javascript programmer and am uncertain how to code the "if document is from this project, then use this font" logic.
I would also like to put a "caption" below the "Search Results per page" line to explain the purpose of the color change.
I am using RoboHelp HTML 8.0.2. I generate WebHelp output which is then FTP'd to our server.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Leon,
     Let me make sure that I understand your suggestion - I should change the title of each topic in the "legacy" knowledge base so that they each include a short identifier, such as "First Topic - Legacy"? If so, I suppose that would work, but I'd have to change 1,000 topics. The topic titles would no longer match the filenames (I'm trying to freeze changes to the old knowledge base to which there are many links from our user forum), which I suppose is not a big concern at this point. I'll run some tests.
     That has also raised another question in my mind, but I'll post that separately. It's about the way Robohelp selects the text that is shown immediately after the title of the topic in the Search Results list.
     Thanks for taking the time to help!
