Captivate 8: Slide Videos Repeat when Publishing in HTML5

Conditions: Slide with MP4 h.264 video (no audio track) and separate audio track. Slide action on exit is to go to the next slide. Timeline is trimmed to .1 sec after end of video (Captivate doesn't allow it to be trimmed closer)
Issue: Slide video will play through with sound, then video will repeat with no sound before advancing to the next slide
I should note that while all of my slides are set up the same way, only certain slides have the issue. I have not been able to determine what (if any) difference there is or if it is an issue that impacts slides at random.
This problem has been described by other users with no seeming workaround. Any solutions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks Shriyansh. I've emailed you with a link to download the project along with the following additional details:
Browsers I'm testing for compatability (all are up-to-date as far as I know):
- Also, the slides that were repeating yesterday aren't repeating today
Chrome 38.0.2125.104 m
Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.17358
Safari for Windows 5.1.7
Firefox 33.0 (Captivate says Firefox doesn't support the content so I'm not expecting a solution for FF, however, firefox repeats the first slide very consistently)
Publish settings (pretty much the defaults):

Captivate 8 - Issue with interactions when publishing to html5

Has anyone else had difficulty with the built-in learning interactions when publishing to html5? Are they incompatible? We've had a few hiccups with things as we do all publishing to html5 and there seem to be some disconnects.

Close window not working when publishing as HTML5 on Adobe Connect using CP8

Hi all,
I'm trying to get a button that closes the project/window at the end of a video. I am using CP8.
I can get it to work when publishing as SWF to Adobe Captivate.
It also works when publishing as HTML5 but not on an LMS (Adobe Connect).
I have tried various methods including
- On success execute a Javascript = window.close()
- On success - exit
- On success execute advanced action = Assign cpCmdExit with 1
I also tried adjusting the slide settings On Exit: exit and the publishing settings Project End Options: Action: Close project.
Nothing works.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Aimee

Hi Aimee,
Can you test this to close the course window:
Insert 2 buttons or smart shape used as buttons (as Finish course buttons).
On the first button apply an action to execute javascript and in the script window, use this script: parent.close()
On the second button apply an action to execute javascript and in the script window, use this script: top.window.close()
Upload the published project on your LMS and check if any of these works for you.
Thanks
Himanshu

Audio not working on one slide when publishing to HTML5

I'm in Captivate 8. In one slide in my project no slide audio will play when published to html5. I've tested in Chrome and IE 11. In Chrome, I see the 'speaker' icon that appears when audio or video is running but no sound comes up. (The speaker appears for the length of the audio file ~5 sec) All other slides are fine, and the slide audio plays correctly if I use F3 or F10 to preview the slide inside Captivate.
The slide in question is a 'menu' only reached via an advanced action. I know the advanced action is not the culprit - if I change it to jump to a different slide, the audio on that slide plays without problem.
Similarly, I've verified that if I place this audio file on a different slide, it plays fine, but if I add a different audio file to this slide the problem remains. If I create a button on the problem slide to trigger the audio it plays, (but is unhelpful since I want the audio to play automatically when the user enters the slide).
I've tried removing/re-adding the audio, recreating the slide from a copy, setting the audio to play via an "on enter" advanced action, and adding a play trigger to the advanced action that jumps to this slide. Nothing I've tried gets the audio to play.
I'd welcome any suggestions of what might be happening or how to fix this.
Thank you,
Jenny Nilsson

Hi Lieve,
Thank you, yes, if I view using f12 the audio works correctly.
The "exitBranch" action is associated with a continue button at the end of each branch. If all branches have been visited, it jumps to a new slide, if there are unvisited branches, it jumps back to the menu slide where the audio is not working. (If I edit the action to jump somewhere else the audio will work for the different slide.)
The action was created from a shared action and my colleague and I have used it in multiple other modules without this error.
Thanks,
Jenny N

Captivate 4 video stops when publishing into pdf

I have created a video with Captivate 4 and have published it into a pdf file.
The video/audio then freezes and stops half way through, almost as if when it was moving onto a new slide.
I have tried publishing to html instead, and it works fine.
Any suggestions on how to get the pdf up and running?
Thanks!

Hi there
Not that it will actually help anything, but if you can supply me with one of the Camtasia AVI files, I'll be happy to test for you on my end. I do have Captivate 1, 2, 3 and 4 all on the same machine.
Also, I wasn't suggesting that Camtasia could automatically accomplish this. What I was suggesting was that you could open the video in Camtasia and use it as you would Captivate. You could split the video yourself. Pare away some, publish it as a smaller segment that you would drop into Captivate. Rinse and repeat as needed. Assuming, of course, that your goal is to get this into Captivate.
Cheers... Rick

Embed slide video in mp4 publish

Hello,
Is it possible to publish a Captivate 6 project with slide video as one main mp4 file?! I need to have the slide video (flv) be incorporated in the main video file rather than an external files. In my published mp4 video the slide videos don't show. Instead, there is an indicator "connection error" where the video ist supposed to be.
Best regards
Jan

Hi Jan,

Captivate 7 Screen Captures (scrolling) not showing when published in HTML5

I am using Captivate 7 and when I publish in HTML5 my screen captures (of the screen scrolling) do not show -- I get a blank screen for a couple of seconds --, even though they show when I preview for the Web in HTML5. They also show when I play them locally, but not from my server. Here is a link to a short video that has this problem -- click the fast forward button seven times after clicking play to get to a screen scroll. http://streaming.missioncollege.org/library/media/Tutorials/Title/index.html

I was using Internet Explorer 9. This morning I tried 10 & 11 with the same results. It works fine in Chrome and on a Mac with Safari. I do not have my iPad with me today, but I tried it this weekend and had the same problem, though I just updated my OS, so I will try again. If it does not work well on an iPad then I might as well output as FLASH. I will try my iPad again tonight and report back tomorrow. Thanks.

Video flickering when published live from camera

I am getting flickered image when published from live camera.
Settings done for view of flash player in html page and settings done before publishing in actionscript is as follows:
setting in HTML:
size of flash player object in html page is 240*180
setting in actionscript:
stage size is 216*162
size of video component is 216*162
camera.setMode varies as:- camera.setMode(160,120,6) //////////////in this case there is a flickering
camera.setMode(320,240,8) //////////////in this case there is a flickering
camera.setMode(640,480,2) //////////////in this case there is no flickering.
Now what I have tried to resolve the issue:
1) changed the size in html to 320*240
2) set the stage size to 320*240
3) size of video component to 320*240
I have tried all permutations for the above three scenario but still not got the solution.
I have also tried to make the size of video component as per the camera height and width respectively, with/ without altering the size of stage, still no success.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Nitesh

first thing to try is to upgrade your video driver. if the issue still persists, please enter a bug here: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm

Embedded Vimeo videos play when published on desktop but won't show up online

I have a site that I updated recently … when I finished revising in iWeb and published it to my URL none of the embedded Vimeo videos show up. According to Vimeo customer support, and my web host, there is "no code or file" in the space where the video/html snippet should be. Tried rebuilding pages from scratch, still no video. Same process worked before and my site was functioning fine until I made this most recent update. Any reason why embed code would work prior to update, and not now? Why it finds the video when published to a folder on my desktop, but not when it's published to URL? Working with iWeb 3.0 and OS 10.9.4.

From your statements I guess that you put the files on the server yourself.
Make sure that you put ALL the files and folders on the server.
And why not provide a link to the page?

Unable to access external video file after publishing in html5

I am trying to publish a project that contains links to external files (.mp4 videos). After publishing, I get an path error message when I try to run the videos after publishing. The references to the videos are by name without any paths specified.
When I published the file the videos reside in the same folder as the captivate project file.
The instructions say copy the files to the output folder after I publish as html5.
What I did was extract the zip folder
Place the videos in the parent folder after extraction.
Ran the project. It runs except for the video execution.
There are a number of folders when the zip file is extracted.
Am I placing the videos in the right folder?

I personally prefer to get my files up on the server and link directly to them in Captivate.
Are you putting your's in the root folder of your project? eg. /projectname/... instead of/projectname/callees/ ?

Drag and drop interactivity- do it for me button not working when published to HTML5

I've made a drag & drop interactivity, I am adding a button where the user can get the correct answers for that interactivity.
using advance actions / Standard action / and apply custom effect (right to left ease) in captivate 7.
The problem I'm experiencing is that the button works fine when reviewing as SWF but when I publish as HTML5, it is not running.
I am attaching screen shots for it.
Thanks,

Sorry advance actions screen as below:
The idea when user click on "do it for me" button, drag source move to drop target automatically.
Thanks

Flash Video Lost when Published

I included a flash video in my captivate project. It looks fine in the preview. When I published my project the flash video does not play it just displays a blank slide. I appreciate any advice.

Hi there
Where are you playing the file from? Did you copy it to a server or are you testing on your own PC and seeing the issue?
If you copied to a server, did you remember to copy the FLV file?

Why do Captivate projects have video issues when viewed on an iPad?

I poste dthis question months ago, and didn't get much in the way of a response, so I am trying again...
I am publishing projects to be viewed on both PC and iPad (.swf and HTML5). The PC version works fine on a number of different browsers.
The iPad version does not play correctly. I have tried the default Safari browser, as well as Coast, Mercury, and Chrome.
Slides that are audio over screen captures do not play the audio.
Slides that are Video play and sound fine.
Slides that are audio dropped onto the slide play fine.
My Captivate is version 6.0.1.240.
My iPad is running iOS 7.1 (11D167)
Also, when in a project, and I try to "Edit Video Demo", Captivate locks up, and must be closed by the Windows Task Manager. IS THIS RELATED???
Any thoughts?
Thom T.

I am having the same issue with Captivate 8. I have created a project, imported mp4 movies, save output as HTML.
All works fine on a desktop or laptop.
But will not play videos through a browser on an IPAD. I understood that videos and captivate content rendered in HTML5 would play on an IPAD.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any help suggestion please?
Thanks

Screens go black when publishing to html5 using captivate 6

HELP! I'm so frustrated. When I publish a particular file to html5, there are three screens that go black. You can hear audio, but there is just a black screen. It works perfectly fine when I preview the project (prior to publishing). I just downloaded the latest update and I've tried re-building those slides in a new blank project. Nothing seems to work. The slides just have text captions, highlight boxes and images. No effects.
Please help?!

I was able to publish successfully to html5, but the issue is occurring with publishing to mp4. Please help?

Javascript "out of memory" error when publishing for HTML5

I've created a Flash animation using the "HTML5 Canvas" format in Flash Pro CC. When I publish the file, I get the following cryptic error:
While executing main.jsfl, the following Javascript error(s) occurred:
At line 56 of file "Publish.jsfl":
out of memory
I have no idea what this means. I have a brand new 27" iMac running OSX Mavericks, with 16GB of memory. I tried restarting the computer and still get the error. It's a two-minute animation with quick cuts between about twenty different short little shots/scenes. The file exports fine as a .mov video file, for example, so I don't understand why it says I don't have enough memory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you get that error that quickly that sounds pretty suspect to me as well.
When you rendered your .mov did you set it to render in RAM or Disk from the settings during export? If you rendered it in RAM, something else is going on.
If there's nothing proprietary in the animation I'd be happy to try to export it on Windows to isolate it to a potential OSX issue. I have a 16GB and 32GB system with Win64 Flash CC on it I can try. Just post a link or private message a link and I'll give it a try.
Typically export issues are related to ADT limited to 128MB ram by default but it doesn't seem likely CreateJS or JSFL would utilize it. Just for fun you may want to increase the default size of the JVM at this path:
/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CC/<language>/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/jvm.ini
Close Flash, open that file, increase the value from 128 to say, 384:
-Xmx384m
Save the file, restart Flash. See if it can export.
