Captivate's lack of output options

We have had major problems with the conversion of Captivate's
SWF files in an effort to create an AVI from which to edit within
Premiere Pro. We tried three differnet conversion software packages
including SoThink. When we load the Flash file, these converters
only see the first 150-180 (6 seconds) or so frames -- in our case
the videos are thousand of frames in duration. Captivates playback
is fine but there is something about their Flash creation or their
instructions about how to export it that is lacking. You will note
that there are several associated SWF files created. If you use the
largest of the created SWF files, it plays back as expected within
a web browser with full duration, but when you load that same file
in a converter, only the first several seconds are recognized.
What is unbelievable to us is why there is only a Flash
output option. After all, Adobe is a video editing player ---don't
these development groups consult among each other. Captivate is a
powerful application. But not having multiple output formats is a
MAJOR, and unforgivable design omission.
By the way, don't try Flashants's SWF2 Video Plug in for
Premiere that is supposed to allow you to import SWF files. It will
crash Premiere. We tried several times.
We have been tearing our hair out with this problem and will
welcome any advice. Let's all appeal to Captivate to get output
options!!!!!!

  • How can i Open a Captivate 7 HTML 5 Output in IoS / Android

    Greetings,
    I have been delivering captivate 7 HTML 5 outputs.... but now when i try to open  them in Iphone or Anroid its giving erros.
    Iphone: No LRS: DATA Cannot be stored
    Anroid: enable Java script in your browser
    Can someone guide me (share a step by step doc) on the best way to get this output compatable with IoS/Anroid?
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Debadrita

    It seems like you are publishing with the TinCan API settings, and you don't have an LRS set up. You need to check with your LMS/ LRS provider on this.
    Try publishing it as a SCORM output and test it.
    Also, which version of iOS are you testing this with? Captivate 7 output has not been tested on iOS 7, so you might see a few surprises when you test on iOS 7 devices.

  • My internal speaker no longer shows as an output option; has anyone experienced this?

    My internal speaker no longer shows as an output option; has anyone encountered this before?

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
        Option click the speaker icon, if present and select Internal Speakers.

  • Mac Mini HTPC Output options?

    I have the new Mac Mini for use as the primary HTPC. The configuration is a bit specific and Im trying to decide on output options. I have a main-viewing LCD, between two additional smaller LCD's in portrait (so three total monitors). I would like to be able to view content on the main LCD in the highest possible resolution using the HDMI, but additionally I would like to extend content onto the side LCD's. I've considered the Atlona USB to HDMI converters for both sides, but is there any way to extend higher resolution to the side monitors using the mini display port? Id prefer the content on the side monitors not be mirrored... that is the kicker. So straight splitter is out.

    Well, you could drive two of the displays with the two built-in display connections and possibly the third with a USB video display adapter. But realize that the performance of the USB device may not be as strong as the built-in video.

  • Splitting a document,in output options you select the target folder to be "the same folder selected at start"? Where is that folder?

    When splitting a document, in output options you can select the target folder to be "the same folder selected at start", but where is that folder?  I assumed it would be the original location of the source file but in my test the split files are not there just the source file.

    Have you checked My Documents? You might close Acrobat and reopen, then see what folder comes up when you select File>Open.

  • Insert a captivate 7 HTML 5 output in Robohelp 10

    I am trying to insert a captivate 7 HTML 5 output in Robohelp 10. I tried the steps specified by adding an adobe captivate demo. I linked it to both the swf file and the index.html file. However I am getting an error, that the index.htm file is not valid. Can you please let me know the solution to this.

    Hi, MeeraPRV
    I recreated this error message and think I have the answer. When you used the Browse button to locate the HTML5 output file, I suspect you selected the wrong "index.htm" file.
    Instead, you should navigate to the Captivate HTML5 Output folder and select the index.html file in the same folder as the .swf Flash file.
    At this point, RoboHelp will create a new "zipped" file of all the Captivate output variations with the extension ".cpz" and place it in the "Baggage Files" folder. You don't have to do anything with that .cpz file. It will be automatically managed for you in the Multiscreen HTML5 SSL generation process.
    Also be sure to "tick" the "Use Adobe Captivate HTML5 output" Setting shown below.
    Lastly, be sure you apply the latest service update for RoboHelp 10.01 for good measure if you haven't already :-)

  • Cannot see Airport Express as an Audio Output option!

    Hello All,
    Very frustruating.
    I bought an AirPort Express hoping to use it as a Audio output device for movies/spotify etc.
    Plugged it all in to my reciever (using optical cable) configured it to my TC network.
    Opened itunes and the Airplay function is working perfectly. Music is streaming as expected.
    However i cannot see the AE in the audio output options (when i "option+click" the speaker icon).
    Tearing my hair out as this was the primary reason for purchasing the AE!
    any help would be greatly apprecaited.
    Tim

    Trying to play movies through VLC and stream the Audio component to my AirPort express. Similary use Spotify on my computer and stream the audio component.
    I thought i would be able to enable my laptop (Macbook Air) to use the Airport Express as its 'speakers' through selecting it as the output source in System preferences.
    However it does not show up in the system preferences at all, what has me stumped is the Airport Express is 100% functional through itunes as well as some third party applications (Airfoil).
    Im very confused as other users (from extensive google searching) appear to be able to atleast see the AirPort Express as an output device.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

  • What are best output options in DVDSP for playback on VGA Computer Screen?

    I understand that DVDs were designed to be viewed on TV sets - not computer monitors with much higher resolution than a TV set.
    However .... I'm curious what the best output options are within DVDSP3 for playback on a standard 19" VGA computer screen 1024x768 and not necessarily on a TV screen. Any ideas?
    Will DVDSP3 address playback on a standard VGA computer screen any better than iDVD6? .... or are they both very much the same?
    Here's my objective:
    MiniDV>FCP HD >DVD SP3>DVD-R / Playback on VGA 19" Monitor only (no TV involved).
    or...
    MiniDV>iMovie6>iDVD6>DVD-R / Playback on VGA 19" Monitor only.
    TIA

    George - I'm not a web designer, so I'm probably not the best person to respond but here goes anyway (FWIW):
    (anywhere from 10sec to 2min) for website visitors to play (but not download). There can be multiple audios per web page.
    No problem. QuickTime. X-platform and you can set whether it's downloadable or not - but that's really moot, as anything on the web can be captured, especially with the 'analog loophole' such as WireTap or Audio Hi Jack.
    I need a combination of buttons from very simple round (or square 20x20 pix) to a bar style with volume control, both with the option to change the color to fit my site.
    Buttons are your business - nothing to do with playback functionality. They are usually just a link to a file - your site should be set up to play anything, by anything, that's clicked on… Flash, QT whatever
    a player that runs from my site and not somebody else's.
    So you're hosting? I'd hate to go down that path… what if your site takes off? What if it goes down?You'd never handle the bandwidth. IMO better to buy inexpensive (but competent) hosting for $10 or so per month and avoid the headaches, and expand the hosting service as and when required.
    See here for example:
    http://soundpropaganda.com/blog/loudness.html
    I have QT files, not downloadable (well, supposedly) from text links (check the green "Here's" links). The link method (graphic, text, whatever) is your design, not part of the playback system.

  • Publish SWF Output Options Export HTML

    I have a number of projects that display the Export HTML,
    Output Option of Publish SWF as checked and disabled. When I
    publish the project the htm file is not generated. All of these
    projects have SCORM Reporting selected and should be producing the
    swf file, htm file and scorm_support folder, but all I get is the
    swf file. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Raymond Sugel Sr

    IThis is an aside but would be good for other newbies to
    know:
    what I learned and maybe you already know this is that when I
    published (having htm selected) it generated an output folder on
    its own!!! Lorn behold my htm, swf, and a file named js (?), I
    think was in that folder. I would have never gone looking for
    another folder but happened to see that was where I had placed by
    1st cp project days earlier.
