Captivate Files and M/S Expressions

I am in a situation where a web-tool is being developed in M/S Silverlight (this was not my choice). Now we need to train folks to use the tool. We want an interactive application demonstration/tutorial, such as Captivate provides. Can Captivate (Flash) files play nicely within M/S Expressions and Silverlight?

Sony DCR SR42 files and Final Cut Express

Hi - I am the owner of a new MacBook which I bought specifically to edit movies from my Sony hard disk Camcorder. I have since found that this model is not on the list of supported camcorders for iMovie and in fact iMovie does not recognise the mpeg files saved by the camcorder.
Can anyone tell me whether Final Cut Express would work with this camera? If not I will probably have to exchange my mac for a PC laptop.

Hi there,
I'm having the same problem with the same camera. I'm replacing it with a mini DV (picture quality is much better and so is compatibility with iMovie '06 and FCE).
But I've still got a ton of footage from the Sony that I need to convert.
When you converted your footage, what file format did you use? Were you happy with the new quality? And was the resulting footage easy to work with? Anything else you can share?
Thanks for your help.

Protected Files and Final Cut Express

I have bought music on Itunes. For some reason out of the blue i can not burn the music to disc, I cant even import the songs to Final Cut Express. Why is this? I have imported music from Itunes into Final Cut with out any problems before many times. I guess the music is protected, (the music's icon has a little lock on the upper left corner, this is new).
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Delfire,
FIles purchased from the iTunes Music Store are protected with Apple's Fairplay DRM.

The ideas is that you can create music CDs with your purchases, but you cannot directly convert them to MP3 or other formats.
All to help curb music piracy.

Flash animation doesn't work when I publish Captivate file

Hi,
I have an e-learning developed by a third party using Captivate 6, they've inserted animations (swf files) created using Flash CS6. When I try publishing the Captivate file on my computer all the animations work well except for a particular one (a wheel that spins and asks questions).
When I publish the Captivate file and go to that particular slide and click anywhere other than this animation the whole thing freezes (this doesn't happen on other slides with the other animation/quizzes developed using Flash CS6 on the same project). However, when the developer publishes the same file on their machine it works well.
I don't have Flash CS6 installed on my machine (I only have Flash CS4 and can't open the animation/swf files), I asked someone else (that had Flash CS6) to try publishing the Captivate file and had the same issue I had.
Has anyone had this issue before? how can I fix it?
Thanks!

Since you are loading another SWF file into your main root timeline and want to transfer control to the loaded SWF you need to call _lockroot on the container that holds the loaded content since you are using _root. Like this:
myMCLMain.loadClip("flashSite.swf", "container2");
container2._lockroot = true; //Add this line after loadClip
Or you can remove the _root in the loaded SWF.

Captivate Files Loaded on Web Server

I have loaded a captivate file (along with all its dependent files) onto a web server in order to link it to our Plateau LMS. I had no problem with the link, but a narration that is supposed to start later in the file begins when the main Captivate page is opened. I am not the creator of the Captivate file and have never worked with the program. Is there something that needs to be done to the file to keep it from doing this?

Are you using Aggregator? Or is is a very long project? I've noticed Aggregator projects often want to jump into the audio while the presentation is still loading. The easiest fix for that is via Edit --> Preferences. Select Start and End in the Project group, uncheck Auto Play, and, as a touch of class, add a graphic to be displayed until the user presses the play button (which will be in the middle of the presentation when it loads).

We are looking for a developer familiar with Captivate, Lectora and SumTotal for a small re-do job. More in the future.

We just lost our favorite technical project manager/developer who took a job somewhere full time. This is a refresh on a course she put together a couple of years ago. It should be a fast simple job as she has outlined the steps but we lack the resources in-house. It will be a chance for us to get to know you. We are in LA but you can be anywhere. Here is what she described as the basic steps - we have the changed content from the client:
1. Update the Captivate file and render as Flash video (.flv). I used Captivate 5.5, but I am guessing your contractor could import the project file into the online version of Captivate.
2. In Lectora, replace the Captivate video. NOTE: Be sure to copy the properties from the existing Captivate video object embedded on the course page, so you can set them for the replacement object.
3. In Lectora, replace the question text. NOTE: Be sure the Feedback text directs them back to the content that relates to the question.
4. Publish the course to HTML and test. Be sure to test the updated activity and quiz. NOTE: While testing, you may need to override the progression logic:
Ctrl-Shift-F9 turns progression logic on and sends you to the Table of Contents
Ctrl-Shift-F10 turns progression logic off and sends you to the Table of Contents
5. Correct any problems you find and retest in HTML.
6. Publish the course to SCORM 1.2. There are some client specific settings that will have to used. The way I handled it in 2012 was to edit the imsmanifest.xml file directly by comparing it to 2011.
Please let me know if you are interested and experienced in this kind of course development. Thanks

Captivate is e-learning development software not a dedicated video convertor, you are better off trying something like Adobe Media Encoder or Super.

Different captivate files that runs like ONE file?

Hi
I am working in a project that is releasing new software.
We have been working on alot of captivate files and some of the slides contain the same stuff.
And when the developers is changing some of the contains - we have to go throu 10 different captivate files to change 2 or 3 slides.
So I have one question
Is there a way to make several captivate files and link it together so that some of the stuff that is simular in the different captivate files run seamlessly? like it was just one captivate file???

We are using Captivate 7
Ok.. so we have to make the changes to every Capitvate file...
Let say I want to make 4 different captivate files - and the software is not yet finished... and the part that I expect not to be finished is the middle captivate file... and then I just update that one... and all my 4 captivate files are updated...

My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy.... google...." fcpx time machine problem" Frist page link

You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.
booya!

Hi,
No . I could not solve the issue. Presently we are using microautobox (from Dspace)for doing the RCP.

Win 7 Offline Files and Captivate

We save files to "My Documents" so that we can use Windows Sync to enable offline files (portability and server backup). Adobe products don't like pointing to network locations for output (published files and such). If I publish to a sync'd folder, it looks like a network file and Adobe products seem to hesitate or complain about this. I can point published files to the hard drive (C: for instance) but I lose the functionality of offline files (sync, backup). I have "aliased" a drive (for instance the L: drive) which Captivate thinks is a local drive (and not a network drive) and that works pretty well. The "aliased" drive points to the sync'd drive (read: networked drive).
Any suggestions for more suitable implementations are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Michael

Hi,
Do you configure “Always available offline” on the clients? If so, disable it to check if the issue still exists. The Offline Files feature must be enabled on the client computer for files and programs to be automatically cached. Additionally, the
Optimized for performance option does not have any effect on client computers using Windows Vista or newer.
For more detailed information, please refer to the articles below:

How do I create files in Captivate 6 and save them in a lower version?

I have Captive 6 at home and at work we are using 5.5.with no plans to upgrade. How do I create or edit in Captivate 6 and still save files so my coleagues can contribute using the software we are given at work?

Only between 6 and 7 this is possible, not with previous versions. And even between 6 and 7 you can have weird things happening. It has nothing to do with being a normal file or a template, I don't know why you tell that?
OP was talking about 5.5 and 6, and there this is NOT possible at all.

File and printer sharing using Airport Express, usb HP Deskjet 3620 printer

I have a general question, and other forum users might have a good resolution for it - but if not, here's what i'm dealing with..
I have an Airport Express that I bought a couple of years back, it has all the necessary firmware upgrades, i'm running 2 Windows XP boxes going through a combination of Ethernet on 1 directly to the 2 Wire Home Portal 2701HG-B, and I also have an additional Netgear WGR614 v7. All firmware upgrades on all devices is installed and functioning after reset.. I've tried using a combination of the Windows XP built-in networking software, Apple Airport Utility, as well as Bonjour to get things configured and working right over the network. I've also installed the AT&T software, one is running the Mcafee security suite, and mine (the Etnernet box) is running the diagnostic utility.
I've tried defaulting all the firewall settings in either/or/all routers i've tried setting the Airport up with, and there still seems to be problems getting file and printer sharing to work right on all computers, and still remain safe behind the firewall. All the network hardware is set up with wpa2/psk authentication, and appears to be configured correctly.
The only version of the Apple Airport Utility that will run successfully on the systems, is the original version that came on the CD with the Airport. Both systems are completely up-to-date from Windows update, and are both running XP service pack 3.
I know for a fact, that the Airport is working just fine, as I've troubleshot all possible known hardware issues with it individually, hooked up to 1 pc (with current updates installed and running). Wireless works fine, i'm actually running the Airport utility on my main system in the living room, that's hooked up hardwired to the router. Both systems get online and surf without a problem going through either/or router as well. I've also tried dissabling the Windows firewall on both systems, and trying to set up file and printer sharing manually using the wizard, and that don't seem to resolve the issues either. However, both systems (wheather hooked up networked, OR individually), have both been experiencing some odd "quirks". The Ethernet box i'm on, has overwritten my primary HD, as "Athena" and made it unusable. The wireless box, has been giving simular "boot-up" related errors as well. I've checked the Cmos/DOS settings on both, and performed the suggested "boot-up" priority related tasks, and both systems are still experiencing problems. The Mcafee suite is up-to-date, and has caught several potentially dangrous programs running on the wireless box, hooked up to the Airport Express, INCLUDING the bundled HP diagnostic software.. However file and printer sharing still remains elusive...
Are there any suggestions about settings to check on the devices, or in the computers, to make sure it's all configured correctly?

...Also file/printer sharing just flat out over the network is NOT a problem, as it's been configured before over ethernet through my Netgear router and file/printer sharing worked just fine.
The main problem seems to be in the Airport Express' settings, it will "get configured" and then lock me out of the utility to where I can't get back in..
The main Airport password has not been changed, and the wireless network encryption is the same for all wireless devices running on the network.
The main problem, just seems to be with the Airport.
Even the Home Portal has detected the Netgear router (unless it having my Netgear router saved in it's settings might be causing a conflict)... Suggestions?
I've contacted AT&T Home Networking for help already about the Home Portal, unfortunately they can not help me with other network related issues, since i'm not using the 2 wire wireless adapters offered by AT&T...

HT3775 Does anyone know how to get .mts files and mpg files to work in final cut express?

I am trying to import footage from a cannon xa10 but it wont come up in final cut express. The only files I have managed to get off the sd card are either .mts or .mpg files and these won't import into final cut. Any suggestions?

Barney & cjnz11, are you importing AVCHD lite?
FCE doesnt play nice with AVCHD lite with the Standard plugins, imovie on the other hand does (go figure) there is a fix for this.
1. Open the Final Cut Express.app by right clicking the icon and choose 'show content'. At Contents/Plugins you find a folder called: "AVCHD.RADPlug". compress this and keep it safe (Just incase)
2. Now Open the iMovie.app by right clicking the icon and choose 'show content' At Contents/RADPlugins there is a folder called "AVCHD.RADPlug". Copy that folder to where you found the folder with the same name inside the Final Cut Express.app
After that you will be able to Log & Transfer AVCHD Lite with in FCE instead of the imovie import and XML export method.

What are shortest file names for outlook express and PSE11 to import photos pls

what are shortest file names for outlook express and PSE11 to import photos pls

Hi, Troubled. The size of the file name is pretty much irrelevant here to PSE, but to answer your question directly, you will be able to import a file that has only a single character as its file name (plus the file name needs to have the required extension, such as .jpg)

Cannot upload and share swf or captivate files in adobe connect

I'm trying to add a Captivate 6 file to my meeting in Adobe Connect 8. I can publish to the server but when I open a pod in the meeting room and share the document, it will not show properly. It will continue to spin but never upload (in Chrome it freezes the screen and in IE it spins and makes awful white noise). Uploading different ways does not make a difference. I am able to upload PPT and Presenter files fine. I migrated to a new server in July and wonder if some configuration is wrong. Any suggestions on what to try next?

I am assuming that you are using the direct option of publishing to Connect server. It will be worth the effort to try first publishing to a local ZIP file and then uploading the ZIP in Connect.
