Having someone else record audio in Captivate 5 presentation

Does anyone know how I have someone else record on an captivate 5 presentation if they don't Captivate? I have created online training and I need it translated. They do not need to publish, or create the presentation - they just need to record audio. I had the functionality in Adobe Presenter and I am hoping that it exists in Captivate 5. - Please help!

Welcome to our community
Generally speaking, they can just watch your finished Captivate presentation and use an audio recording application such as Audacity, SoundBooth or other to record the narration. Then they supply that back to you as one or more WAV or MP3 files. You then insert those files into your Captivate projects and re-publish.

Headset not recording audio in Captivate 7

I can't get any sound recording when using Captivate 7 on PC. Using Microsoft LifeChat LX 3000 USB headset. Works fine in all other apps. Tried 3 separate MS LX3000 headsets and external USB mic. Works fine for two other coworkers with exact same hardware setup and audio settings. Any solutions?

Are you launching Captivate with Run As Administrator privilege?
If one of your co-workers logs onto your PC with their user profile, does the same microphone that doesn't work for you work OK for them?

Record Audio with Captivate 2 and Vista

I'm using Vista 32-bit and I can't record audio.
Is there any Idea, who to fix the problem?

The fix even fixed my set up which is Captivate running on
Vista home running on VMware Fusion running on an Intel Mac.

The fact that you can record and playback in other programs
has nothing to do with this little bug...

I am having trouble re-recording audio inside Keynote

I recorded audio inside Keynote, but then added a few slides. I can't for the life of me figure out how to erase the audio and re-record the presentation.
Also, I don't seem to be able to re-record each Keynote slide independently. I need to export this all as a playable Quicktime movie.
My issues:
1) It will not let me Clear the recording
2) It will keep the old recording if I try to record over it (Record Slideshow) under Play --> Record Slideshow
3) I try to use Audio section to the R of the slide and Record and it will not let me record.
I have concluded there is a bug in Keynote, but am I missing anything? I need this for work to put on our company's website. How can I get help to resolve this? I thought about trying to import the presentation to another computer with Keynote but otherwise I am out of ideas...
Thanks!

Which version of Keynote are you using ( Keynote > About Keynore)
To clear the recording in versions 5 to 6.5: Inspector > Document > Audio then click the Clear button
Once the recording is cleared you can re-record a voice over.

Record Audio in Captivate 4 for PP Slide with multiple mouse click animation

I have a power point presentation imported into Captivate 4. Several of the slides have custom animation that ocurr's on mouse click. What is the best way to record the audio for these slides and have the audio sync to the right portion of the slide?

I am afraid there is no direct way to solve your problem. You can identify the time at which the movie stops because of an on-click animation. At every location, insert a transparent caption (blank caption) and add audio to the caption.
Thus once the movie pauses for the user to click, audio wont appear till user click on the swf. Once he does, movie timeline will move ahead and transparent caption will appear thus playing the audio file.
Hope this helps. Do let us know if it works.

Mukul

Captivate 5 Freezes when I try to Record Audio To Slide

Hello,
I'm having difficulties with recording audio to slide in Captivate 5. Recording to slides, background, and object work, but when I try to record to slide, the computer appears to freeze (until I press escape and then I can select buttons again).
I have Windows XP on my computer. I have deleted the preferences C:\Documents and Settings\name\Application Data\Adobe\Captivate, following advice on other threads, but this does not help.
This issue just started yesterday. I was able to record to slide before.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Debbie

Hi DebsterV,
Did you try upgrading the system audio drivers as RodWard suggested?
If even that does not resolve your issue, let me know so that we can have a connect session.
Thanks,
Vikranth.

After a reboot my iPhone 6 Plus now has someone else's Apple ID as the login??? I bought the phone 3 months ago brand new!

The title says it all.
Some background info:
1. I purchased the iPhone 6 Plus new in the box at Target on January 10 2015. The phone has only ever been mine, and it was not a refurbished device.
2. Absolutely no one else has access to my PC or iTunes, whether it be physical access or knowing my usernames or passwords.
What happened;
1. Phone fell out of my hand face down on my patio. It had the leather Apple case on it. Picked it up and sure enough the entire front screen was smashed.
2. Phone responds to touch, but not property. I contemplate doing a backup and then resetting but I skip that and just do a "erase all content and settings"
3. Phone reboots and prompts me for this Apple ID (x*****@1*****.com) to log in.
4. That is NOT my Apple ID, not even close
5. I have no idea how the strange Apple ID is now embedded in MY phone, I have absolutely no way to access my own phone!
What I have done:
1. Called and spoke to several Apple reps; technical, Apple care, customer service, and then finally a senior supervisor named Matt.
2. Matt spent over an hour on the phone with me discussing this and he decided I should email him my proof of purchase directly through an Apple link that he emailed me.
3. I scanned every document I had with the receipt, paperwork, IMEI info and sent it over. He reviewed and says he will have to put in a request to do a force unlock which will remove the strange Apple ID and allow me back in
4. I set up an appointment at the nearest Apple Store to fix the phone. They do not know of the Apple ID issue and I was told they wouldn't be equipped to handle that anyway until the phone would be able to be unlocked.
5. So now I have to wait for Apple to force unlock my phone before (hopefully) my appointment on Tuesday so I can get in to it and they can fix it
Now from all the people I have talked to and all the Googling I have done I have found no reference to this happening to anyone ever. The only related incidents like mine is if someone bought the phone through another consumer or sold it online and did not wipe their ID properly. This however doesnt apply to me since I bought it from Target, unless they sold me some second hand phone.
Any opinions or insights on what it is that has actually happened to my phone from the time it broke and rebooted to magically having someone else's Apple ID as the authentication?
I really hope someone here has some insight.
Thank you.

The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

Pointing and recording audio simultaneously

Hi,
I create "lectures" by basically importing PowerPoint slides
into Captivate and then recording audio.
I would like to point (with the cursor, for example, or even
highlight) specific words, equations or regions in the slide while
I am recording the audio. I know I can first record audio and then
include all types of effects (edit) later on, but that takes more
time. Is it possible to "save" cursor movements while recording
audio with Captivate? I do not want to use a screencasting software
for doing that because of the larger file size it would generate.
Thanks,

Hi lazylecturer
No, as far as I know it isn't possible to accomplish what you
are wanting. Not if you simply imported the PowerPoint and went
from there. You might try this approach if you are using Captivate
3. Set PowerPoint up to play in a window and adjust the size to
what you wish to see in Captivate. Then launch Captivate and record
using the full motion option. The full motion option was improved
in Captivate 3 so as to accommodate longer recordings.
Cheers... Rick

Need help recording audio since upgrading to Captivate 5.5

I've been using Captivate for several years so I've become accustomed to recording vloiceovers for the slides in my projects. Over the year, the UI for the audio recording function had improved to the point where it worked quite well (v4.0).
Since upgrading to v5.5 this week, I've discovered some major (and welcome) improvements in the product. However, when I clicked the Record Audio icon, I was dismayed with the design of the new UI for this function.
Unless I am missing something, the new design has you open two modal dialog boxes in order to record audio for a selected slide, then Save and close both dialog boxes before you can select the next slide.
Please tell me I missed the place where you can view the slide note, record audio for the slide, then move to the next slide in a smooth (non-modal) movement as you could in v4.0.

Today I upgraded to v5.5 and I add a lot of audio slide by slide, from my slide notes.
I was looking forward to "new and improved" Captivate v5.5, but having seen the way Adobe have set up the recording to slide in v5.5 (and reading this thread) I am now already (less than 1 day into v5.5) regretting having had to pay for an upgrade only to find this area is worse than v4 and the fix will be in a future upgrade that I am expected to pay for again.
This does not bode well for the rest of v5.5 as far as I am concerned.

HT1386 I have an app called ipieta which was originally downloaded onto an ipod. I gave the ipod to someone else, but now that I've had the iphone I can not get the audio even though it is downloaded into itunes music like it said to do. It won't work.

I've tried more than several times to get help but nothing helps. Do I need to deauthorize the ipod or perhaps erase all the downloaded ipieta stuff and start over?
Thanks for any suggestions

Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

If I set my phone to receive Imessages with my phone number ONLY, will that prevent someone else from having them sent to their device?

If I'm correct, as long as someone is logged into your Apple ID, they can receive your messages. If you think someone else is using your Apple ID, change your password.

Hi Bob, I just tried your suggestion, but the interactive PDF is in spreads by default, no way to change the setting. When I choose to view by single page in Acrobat, it displays a single spread.
When I choose to view by spreads, it displays 4 pages, two spreads. That's the topic of this whole discussion, I believe. I do own CS 6 at home, however my employer supplied me with CS 5.5. And I have very little, if any, influence on purchasing.
So, I have no good way to make an interactive PDF (with differing recto/verso headers and footers), that is accessible and shows the correct header/footer. It's either single pages (with one header/footer), or recto/verso headers/footers but PDF only as a spread, as well as I can tell.
Unless you know something else I can do...
Best, Marilyn

Did you purchase the iPhone second hand?
Has anybody else signed into their Apple ID on your iPhone?
