Captivate version 4, adjusting the timeline

In the Captivate 4 Help, it says the following:
"You can adjust the zoom level of the Timeline easily. Click in the  Timeline ruler and spin the mouse wheel on your mouse to increase or  decrease the zoom level. Alternatively, use keystrokes to change the  zoom level. Click the ruler and then press Control+[ to decrease the  zoom level, Control+] to increase the zoom level, or Control+W to set  the zoom level so that all objects will fit in the current Timeline."
This all works fine - EXCEPT - when I use Control+W to try to set the zoom level so that all objects fit within the current Timeline. When I use this keyboard combination the Captivate project tries to close itself. Is this an error in the Help file or am I doing something wrong?

That was strange - when I opened this topic there was no reply but now I see your reply Lieve.

  • Fit to Audio is not adjusting the timeline of slideshow

    When I add a 3 minute song to the audio well of my slideshow pane in iDVD and choose "fit to audio" iDVD is not adjusting the time of my pictures to correspond to the song length.
    Am I missing something? I've read the help viewer and it appears i'm doing everything correct.
    Thanks

  • ? Flash CS4, Is it possible to adjust the length of multiple timelines at once?

    Hi,
    I am using Flash CS4. Is there any way to adjust the length of multiple timelines at once? I am doing an animation of leaves falling from a tree. The leaves alone have 17 separate timelines on separate layers plus each has it's own guide layer.
    If I had the ability to to select all of the timelines together and adjust all of their respective start and end times at the same same time, relative to each other as well as separately, life would be so much easier!
    Of course I can do it timeline by timeline, no problem, but I can't seem to adjust the length of more than one timeline at a time. (no pun intended)
    Even when I select more than one timeline, the double arrow only adjusts the length of one timeline. Even each guide layer's length has to be adjusted separately. I understand the benefit of this, but, testing timing and making adjustments would be so much simpler and go so much faster if I could select and drag multiple timeline lengths at the same time.
    Is there any way to do this?
    I'm new to Flash so, thanks in advance for your patience with me!

    Thanks! I had a feeling. It's nice to have the answer. Oh well, now I can get back to work and not waste any more time with that part of the puzzle. You've been very helpful and I'm sure your answer is correct.  Wish I knew how to rate your answer even higher. Thanks again!

  • How to adjust the AICC compliant CBT's to fit all screen sizes across browsers in Captivate 4

    Hi,
    I have made changed my Adobe Captivate 4 files to be AICC compliant by changing the Settings in Preferences.
    When I publish the files, the standard.js file no longer adjusts the CBT's to fit all screen sizes across browsers, as it was doing before by adding the below code -
    <style type="text/css"> html, body, #CaptivateContent { height:100%; }
    body { text-align:center; margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden; }
    </style>
    Is there a way to scale Adobe Captivate AICC compliant files across different browsers?
    Thanks!

    That code doesn't go in the standard.js file but goes in the head of the HTM template used for AICC output.
    Look in your Captivate install directory for the Templates > Publish > AICC > Default.HTM file and add the code there.

  • The latest Premier Pro CC 2014 update forced me to convert and create version of my project while guaranteeing that the project would not be altered; however, the timelines are not the up to date versions I had.

    The latest Premier Pro CC 2014 update forced me to convert and create version of my project while guaranteeing that the project would not be altered; however, the timelines/sequences are not the up to date versions I had. I saved different version of this project for various purposes, but they were all named differently(i.e joe and mary wedding, joe and mary wedding 2, joe and mary wedding 3, joe and mary wedding 3.1).  I do not know if they just pulled the timelines from the earliest version, eradicated the data entirely, or something else.
    Since the program prompts me to create and save a new version for the updated premier, I still have the previous projects, but cannot open them.  I imagine they are unchanged, but cannot be sure.
    Thoughts? Is it possible to uninstall an update re-install it later?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    Also...
    Add to right click menu of timelines an entry for "go to next keyframe" and "go to last keyframe" a la After Effects, we should also be able to assign a kb shortcut to this.
    There are buttons on either side of the create keyframe button to advance forward or backward in the effects control panel or timeline.
    You can also advance forward or backward in the effects control window by holding shift while dragging the playhead.
    Allow copy/paste of selection of audio/video effects, not just one at a time. Sure we can copy/paste attributes but since we can also copy/paste effects it would only make sense to allow to copy/paste a selection of effects.
    I guess I don't get this one. If I have 5 effects on a clip, I can simply command-click on the ones I want to copy over to the other clip.

  • When I share the video it exports a different version than what appears in the timeline

    I've had a really frustrating few days waiting for exports (to Apple Devices) and processing (when uploading to Vimeo). In my timeline appears the properly edited video, but when it gets shared, the video drops clips that I have added, and includes clips that I removed early in the editing process, and gives me a final product that is not my intended video. Please help, need to get this video uploaded for a client yesterday!

    Changes made inside compounds are reflected in the project - there is one caveat and I wonder if that was the case for you: compounds, like any other clip, are trimmed to a given duration in the timeline. If your changes made that duration change, you'd have to adjust in the project timeline. For example if you create a 1 minute compound and then edit in its own timeline so that it beco es, say, 5 minutes, it will still be trimmed to 1 minute in the project timeline, and you may have to drag the edges of the clip to extend as much as you wish. This is NOT a bug.

    In captivate version 7,  I am localizing an english quiz in Russian . I can import the project captions and closed captions in the Russian translation and this works but there is one word that won't translate which is the review area button.
    Any suggestions greatly welcome!

    Lilybiri may be talking about this blog post that offers a solution for localising parts of the TOC that cannot be changed to match a language.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/02/changing_default_captions_in_t.html
    There is no mention in the blog about the dialog you are interested in because it was only added in a later version of Captivate.  But perhaps one of the Adobe reps here would know if it would work.  You would need to know the specific name of the internal string variable that needs to be changed.

  • How to adjust the height of the tracks in timeline mode

    I am trying to find my way around PE 10, have had the program for years but not used it. (I am using Win 7 on a 15" laptop, screen resolution is 1920x1080, 16 GB Ram, 4GB video RAM.) I took some video on vacation, in some clips there is a lot of wind noise. I know how to adjust the volume using key frames, but the tracks are only about ¼" wide making adjustment just about impossible. Full volume to zero is just a small fraction of an inch. I can zoom in on the track, but this doesn't make the track wider. Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks,
    David

    Actually, I wanted to do this in a static table.
    Just now, I learnt that this feature is not available in 12.0 as well as in other previous versions.
    However, this will be implemented in Release 12.1.
    Thanks,

  • Adjusting audio of multiple clips in the timeline simultaneously

    Is there a way to adjust the audio volume of multiple clips in the timeline simultaneously?

    Or you can send the whole things over to Audition and work in multitrack there. 
    I like to get everything edited in Prmiere and then send the audio (I never bother with a refernce video) to Audition for finish work.  There you can apply effects to individual clips, individual tracks or the entire mix.  I always put a hard limiter on the Master track at -3dB to prevent clipping.  Since this is the last filter in the chain I can boost other clips first and still know that my audio will never be too loud

  • Adjusting Audio Pan in the Timeline

    In the FCE 3.0 help pdf. manual there is a heading for a section: "Adjusting Volume Levels and Pan in the Timeline," but I can't find anywhere that it says anything about adjusting the pan in the timeline, just the levels.
    I know how to adjust pan in the viewer, but is there actually a way to do it in the timeline also?

    Martin, Thanks, but actually the sound mix on my project is presently quite complex as a clip by clip change in balance from left to right (depending on whether dialogue, sound effects, music, etc.) and I plan on adjusting the pan on each clip individually to especially retain the stereo effect of the music. I just thought it was sort of confusing that the help manual has a section heading on how to adjust pan in the timeline but then doesn't address the issue.
    Thanks again, I may end up taking your advice.
    Hi Fran,
    The only way I know of doing it to all of your
    clips in the timeline at once would be to select one
    audio clip, and adjust the pan to center (which is
    what I believe you want to do, based on your earlier
    post). Then select all other audio clips in
    the timeline and do Paste Attributes (of course,
    having selected just the Pan attribute before
    clicking OK in the Paste Attributes window.
    For more info, look under "Copying, Pasting &
    Removing Clip Attributes" in your FCE manual. In the
    FCEHD manual it's in Ch. 16 "Editing in the
    Timeline"
    Good luck

  • Adjust effects in the timeline

    Hi all, thanks in advance for your answers to this...
    I still can't figure out how to adjust effect parameters of a clip in the timeline... It seems like sometimes when I right click (w mighty mouse) on a clip in the timeline, instead of pulling up the paste attributes, etc menu, it pulls up a smaller one that lists only the effects on that certain clip.
    Of course, in crunch deadline situations (which more and more these days seems like every second of my edit day) this would save oodles of time since I wouldn't have to open the clip in the browser and navigate through the effects menu to make a simple adjustment. Usually I will put standard color correction effects on clips and know exactly what to adjust, so this shortcut could potentially save me days of time (bwahahaha!) so I can maybe finish at 6 or 630 instead of 8 or 830 every night.
    Thanks, I appreciate you all making my life more diverse through enlightening me to this shortcut.

    OK, I think I've found what you want...kinda, sorta...
    FCP5 manual Vol. III, pg. 286, discusses "Working with the Timeline Keyframe Editor"
    First, you have to already have keyframes placed. Next, activate the 'Clip Keyframes' toggle (bottom left of the timeline), then contol-click (right-click) on the same Clip Keyframes toggle/control and choose Video or Audio or Select All for both.
    Now you right-click in the keyframe editor area beneath the clip you want to work on and choose the filter or motion parameter you want to display.
    At this point you can drag individual keyframes up/down, back/forth with numeric representation of your parameter...but it doesn't give you a way to 'type in' a parameter that I can see.
    Hope that helps,

  • The latest Firefox version won't expand to make text and images more visible on my 32" screen, although I have tried to adjust the advanced Windows appearance settings in the same way that has worked in previous versions of Firefox.

    Normally I have had to go to Control Panel; Appearances and Themes; Display; Settings; Advanced; Custom; and then I adjust the Customize Setting to 155% (149 dpi). I have hit on this setting through trial and error; larger and icons like the cursor get big and fuzzy. Smaller than 155% and text and images are tiny on the 32" wide screen. This time that procedure doesn't seem to work. The text and images remain too small regardless of setting, although the cursor icon gets big. I can manually zoom the pages, but that is clumsy and has to be redone. Does anyone know of an easy setting fix? I am not too smart about this stuff--mostly trial and error, but I do want to be able to enjoy my wide screen. Thanks!

  • Adjusting Audio levels on the timeline

    In Final Cut I could just grab the audio line and adjust the volume of the clip. Is this possible to do in Premier without going to soundbooth? I can use the audio transitions but I just want to go up and down with the interview I have.  Please advise. Thanks.

    Yes, you can grab the Volume "rubber band," which is shown by default. You can also Rt-click, and chose to modify the Gain.
    For adjusting up/down in an interview, I would strongly recommend using the Effects Control Panel, and then setting Keyframes for the fixed Effect>Volume. One can also "ride Levels" in Audio Mixer, but that will apply Track Keyframes, so should only be done when all Video editing is done.
    Good luck,

  • Show all frames in the timeline - CC version

    Show all frames option is not available in the track header anymore. How can I see all the frames inside the clips in the timeline?

    Click the picture of the wrench (or spanner if you're British) on the timeline
    Tick "show video thumbails" from the dropdown menu
    THEN go to the flyout menu on the top right of the timeline and choose "continuous video thumbnails"
    There are lots of great options in that menu for customising your timeline settings.
    Also you can create and save presets for these settings.
