CP 6.0.1.240 - Video Demo Project vs. Video Recording & YouTube

Hello,
I have a project with two small slide videos included. I recorded them using Record New Video Demo and I embedded them on 2 different slides using Video > Insert Video. Once embedded I added text captions etc and timed them to coincide with the video. When I preview the video, timing is dead on. When I publish to YouTube, one of the two videos delays noticeably and it throws off the timiing of all the related captions, etc. I tried F4V and MP4, I tried uploading using the YouTube button and directly, no change. I even tried manually pushing the timing of the captions out to see if I could account for the delay on YouTube but it doesn't have to do with the slide just the pre-loading or starting of the video on that slide. The fact that I have 2 slides each with an embeded video and one works fine and the other doesn't is driving me around the bend. I compared the two slides side-by-side and could not find any differentiating settings.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for me to try?
Thanks
Julie
UPDATE: I went back to compare side-by-side the videos and I have noticed a difference. One is called a Video Recording and the one that pauses for too long is called a Video Demo Project. I could have sworn I recorded them in the exact same way. This sounds silly but does anyone know what I did differenty; why one is a video demo and why the other is a video recorrding?

UPDATE: When I finally published the video to YouTube, the hiccup or pause on the background audio seems to have resolved. It was very evident in previewing the project and not noticeable once published to YouTube. I have a new issue now as it relates to pausing but not of the audio of the video itself. I will be posting a new thread for that.

How to add/replace/correct narration in a Video Demo project?

I've recorder a Video Demo project in CP 6 and would like to correct existing narration. In particular, I'd like to add more detailed explanation at some places. Is there any practical workflow that could be used here?

A video stretching? How would that look? You can split a video in two clips, add a static image like a snapshot if you need to increase the duration of the video.
I will mostly do a temporary narration during the video capture so that the timing at least is correct. Later on I'll record the real narration and try to keep up to the same length of the temporary one. That is always the trouble with synchronising to a video instead of to the static slides that you get with Automatic capture. On Static slide you can move object to adapt to the narration.

My Video Demo project froze while compiling

The preview screen is up but no playback controls appear. I cannot interact with the main screen while the preview screen is up to save the project. Right now it's listed as "untitled1". How do I save this video demo? I'm worried if I force quit that I'll lose everything. It's not possible to redo it as I had a conference going with end users asking questions; I don't want to lose that info. I have not yet found any way to restore projects from cached folders.
I have it up right now, so please help if possible.

Hi there,
It is possible to publish a video demo project as .swf by adding the video demo slide in a blank project.
1. Create a blank project, select the desired Project size.
2. From the Blank project, click on 'Insert>Recording Slide' menu option.
3. Press 'Ok' to the button.
4. Click on the 'Video Demo' option from the recording dialog.
5. Perform recording
6. Once you are done with recording, delete the first blank slide present in the project
7. Click on Publish, select the 'SWF output' option.
Thanks,

Is there any way to publish the .SWF(not MP4) from Captivate 7 while creating a Video Demo project?

Hello all,
I am upgradiing to Adobe Captivate 7. The previous version I used was Captivate 4.
I found a new feature (Video demo) in the latest Captivate 7 which generates an MP4 video output when the project is published. The feature records exactly the way I want.
Unfortunately, MP4 video does not help me. I require an SWF file to place in my LMS.
Is there any way to get an SWF output using the same(Video Demo) feature?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kartik

Add a video demo to another video demo

I have recorded two video demos and would like to combine them into a single video demo. Is that possible in Captivate 8?

Hi there
Open them both for editing, then right-click one of them and copy.
In the second, right-click and paste. Poof! Combined video!
Cheers... Rick

Adding audio to a video demo Captivate 8

How can I add mp3 audio files to a video demonstration I recorded in Captivate 8? I recorded the demo. Then, clicked edit. When I choose Media, the audio option is grayed out and does not let me select.

That damned BBB, they took it over from the cptx (you can hear that I don't like that bar at all). For a video demo project is pretty confusing.
You have to use the Audio menu in this case. You have the option Import, Project Narration there. If there is already a Project Narration, you'll have to go to Record, and use the Add/Replace tab to import and replace the existing Narration.
Sorry for my ranting. I so miss the CP7 UI.

Pause key during recording Video demo not work

Hi there and thank you for reaching Adobe Community.
Unfortunately, this feature is not there in Captivate 6 Video demo.
Thanks!

Buffering icon appears when including a video demo in a project published as mp4.

I have a project containing slides and video demos. I inserted the videos as CPVC slides into the project. When I play the project in Captivate, all works fine. When I publish to video (mp4) and play, before each video starts, I get the buffering icon. This really disrupts the flow. Is there any way to hide or get rid of the icon?

Hi, r_higgens
I ran into this problem myself and fortunately a fine Adobe engineer (Tata M.A.S.B. Sankaram) was kind enough to point out a workaround. I don't think this is official, so be careful in using it.
Basically the buffering icon is the animation that is shown while loading the video. This would normally be helpful to explain while the video is loading, but in a final publish to MP4, it is distracting. Here's the workaround:
Go to <Captivate install location>\Gallery\SWF Animation\
Re-name “VideoLoadingAnimation.swf” to “Old_VideoLoadingAnimation.swf”
Publish
I no longer see the Loading animation!
Best practice would be to go back and rename the swf to the original name after publishing the output for distribution.

Why is my project freezing at the end of each video demo?

I've created a project with three different video demos. I've done all the editing and have the video slides in the right order, however, each video demo freezes at the end instead of continuing on to the next video demo.
Please help.
Thanks,
Jaimie

Are you positive that it's not just downloading the next video in the background and that's why it just looks like it's stalled? What happens if you just let it sit there for a minute or two? Does the next slide then start playing?

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
Ian

How to adjust the speed of a single video demo clip

This seems like a very basic function of a video that I can't seem to figure out in Captivate 8:
For an individual video demo inside of a project, how does one go about turning up the speed of that clip?
To be clear, I am not referring to simply viewing the end product and speeding that up.

Well, you could record a Video Demo using Captivate. Then publish that out as an MP4. Then you could edit the MP4 using Premiere Pro or Premiere Elements. Then you could render it back out and use it as a video in Captivate.
Perhaps others have other approaches.
You might also want to take a look at TechSmith Camtasia. I believe it has an editing capability to speed up a clip. Or just a portion of a clip if you choose to split it up.
Cheers... Rick

Pause key not working whilst recording a video demo.

Hello,
The title says it all really. I've set the pause key to various different keys and have then pressed them whilst recording a video demo with narration.
On video playback, it is clear that the video recording was not paused at any point. What is the issue here? Is there a particular solution?
It isn't project specific as I have tried setting up various projects. The key is definitely set up in preferences and I always run Captivate with admin rights.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Jordan

Hi Vocusjordan,
Thank you for contacting Adobe Support.
The pause feature functionality in case of video demo is not available in Adobe Captivate.
However we appreciate for providing us the feedback and so you can use the below mentioned link to ask for a feature request:

Video demo - how to put on a slide

I recorded a new video demo in my adobe captivate 8 project. It's shows up as a separate project. How do I import it to the correct slide? (When I go to insert a video, and try to select the cpt file, it's greyed out.)

Insert menu, option CPVC-slide.

Captivate Crashing when editing video demo

I have been having a lot of issues with Captivate crashing when I'm editing video demos. When I try to save, the save progress bar will get to 'thumbnails' and then freeze up. I have to close and restart the project and lose all information that has not been saved. I try to save after every thing just to be sure, but this is still very frustrating.
Does anyone else have issues with this?
The videos I'm working with are about 6 minutes long. I've trimmed a lot of information out in an attempt to make it a shorter video. It seems that after so many 'trims', Captivate doesn't function very well. I'm assuming a work around would be to just make shorter videos, however, if anyone else has an issue such as this I was wondering what your work around was.
Thanks

You left out one important number: how much free space left on your hard drive?

Color settings for video demos in Captivate 7 and 8

I have been working with Captivate 7, and I recently got the Captivate 8 upgrade. I haven't been able to get good quality colors in my video demos in either version. I can select either 16 bit and 32, but the resulting video looks exactly the same, like when I change my monitor to display 16 bit. Software simulations look great, but I can't seem to change the color setting for the videos. I've changed the settings both in general and in individual projects, and still no change. I'm using a Mac to capture video on Windows 7 through VMware. I've tested the video demo capture on the Mac, and it's showing the same degraded colors. Any ideas?

Hi There,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
As such there is no skin specific to RTL in Captivate 8. As of now bullets in quiz cannot be alligned to right . To know more you can refer to the following link : Right to Left Language Support in Adobe Captivate 7 - YouTube
