Help: Cap 5 on Mac, Audio drops one word when published (sometimes)

I am really struggling with this one ... 5 animated slides from PPT. Voice-over recording done in Cap 5 to slides. Works fine. Import .wav to background slide. works fine. BUT one word is getting dropped between slides 1 and 2. If I edit the audio the word doesn't drop -- sounds fine. I can get it to sound fine in the preview, but when published the word drops. But when the published file is re-played the second time, the audio doesn't drop! any suggestions as to how to be sure this will play properly every time? Thanks!

Hi,
This option is available when your publish target is set to AIR 3.6.
You can download the desired AIR SDK version from Archived Adobe AIR SDK versions
Thanks!

HELP.....Audio drops out as slides change

Can anyone help?
I have imported an audio file and have modified the position of the slide markers in the edit window so that it plays accross several slides as background music. Each time a slide changes the music drops out for a split second and then resumes.........pants!
Cheers

Thanks for your quick response
...I've run the patch (up to vs 7.05) however the problem is still there, the audio drops out as each slide changes (chops out and back very quickly) Any more ideas welcome!

Audio not working on one slide when publishing to HTML5

I'm in Captivate 8. In one slide in my project no slide audio will play when published to html5. I've tested in Chrome and IE 11. In Chrome, I see the 'speaker' icon that appears when audio or video is running but no sound comes up. (The speaker appears for the length of the audio file ~5 sec) All other slides are fine, and the slide audio plays correctly if I use F3 or F10 to preview the slide inside Captivate.
The slide in question is a 'menu' only reached via an advanced action. I know the advanced action is not the culprit - if I change it to jump to a different slide, the audio on that slide plays without problem.
Similarly, I've verified that if I place this audio file on a different slide, it plays fine, but if I add a different audio file to this slide the problem remains. If I create a button on the problem slide to trigger the audio it plays, (but is unhelpful since I want the audio to play automatically when the user enters the slide).
I've tried removing/re-adding the audio, recreating the slide from a copy, setting the audio to play via an "on enter" advanced action, and adding a play trigger to the advanced action that jumps to this slide. Nothing I've tried gets the audio to play.
I'd welcome any suggestions of what might be happening or how to fix this.
Thank you,
Jenny Nilsson

Hi Lieve,
Thank you, yes, if I view using f12 the audio works correctly.
The "exitBranch" action is associated with a continue button at the end of each branch. If all branches have been visited, it jumps to a new slide, if there are unvisited branches, it jumps back to the menu slide where the audio is not working. (If I edit the action to jump somewhere else the audio will work for the different slide.)
The action was created from a shared action and my colleague and I have used it in multiple other modules without this error.
Thanks,
Jenny N

Captivate4 - Slide and audio do not match when published to flash

Hello there Captivate 4 users
I need help, I am very frustrated it seems that I can preview my production and all is well. Until I publish the file and then in some sections the narration is not linked to the proper slide.
I am using Windows XP pro and I have the e-Learning suite.
If anyone can assist me I would greatly appreciate it, as my project deadline has passed!
Thanks
C

Hi there
Sometimes we see that Captivate becomes confused with audio. One possible solution involves noting which slide has become mismatched. Then note the name of the audio clip. Export the clip to the Windows file system. Rename it and import it back to the problem slide to replace the existing clip. The clip is still the same it just uses a different name.

CP4 - Audio out of sync when publish to AVI

Hi Everyone,
I'm having a problem when I create a presentation using most screen demonstrations where when I try to publish to AVI the audio moves out of whack.
I am running a Vista PC with lots of RAM.
When I publish to Flash it works fine... but we got this thing so that it would produce an AVI !
Any ideas? I have played around with screen capture and encoding settings but to no avail.
Any help much appreciated!

Hello there,
I am very sorry to hear that you have encountered problems when publishing to AVI. Since when you publish to SWF you do not experience the same problems, I would strongly recommnend that you report this issue to the Captivate team using the web address I have included below.
Adobe Captivate Feature Request/Bug Report Form
I have seen some issues with the AVI converter and it would be useful if the CP team could inspect your source Captivate file.
If you are working to a deadline then in the meantime you might want to download a trial version of SoThink's SWF To Video Converter. At least for this project you could then get the files converted to AVI whilst you wait to hear back from the CP team.

Audio Problems - One Channel Slow and Sometimes Not At All

Hello,
I'm having a terrible problem, since yesterday - but not in the weeks before. The audio tracks are acting very strange. Sometimes one channel plays normal while the other plays at a reduced speed. Sometimes no audio comes out at all. And when this problem starts happening I continually get the 'Warning - Dropped Frames' box every few seconds.
Strange thing is that last night I was having this problem, and although repairing permissions, and trashing preferences didn't seem to have an effect, after moving all the media to a single location it seemed to be working fine. So, somehow, everything was working great last night when I finished working.
I come in this morning, open the same project that was fine upon closing down last night, hit play and one channel's slow, then it doesn't sound at all, then I don't even get sound in the viewer when I open clips there. And now it's constantly stopping with a 'Warning - Dropped Frames' box.
The system is new as of a month ago, everything was working fine on the first project I did.
The Sequence settings and media settings are all correct - that doesn't seem to be the problem. And There was no problem working on the last project with all the media coming off the 500GB internal hard drive, so I can't imagine I'd need to get an external just for it to work.
My intuition thinks it may have something to do with some of the video clips using time remapping, but the main audio that's causing the problem is a music track, not associated with any of the video (so it shouldn't be linked in any way).
I'm using Final Cut Studio 2, with full updates, etc. on a 24" iMac 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 4GB RAM, 500 GB internal hard drive (100GB still available), running OS X 10.4.10.
Please help,
the system is basically useless until this is fixed,
Thanks,

Matt,
I just read your post... I am having the same issue. You have explained the issue better than I did in my post. You can read my comments under the subject Final Cut Pro 6 Drop Frame Issue... As you will read, my issue started last weekend when I upgraded to Leopard. Yesterday, I spoke with Apple Tech (Final Cut Pro Support)... They had me do a clean install of Leopard and re-install final cut studio. Once that was complete, do the software upate. Problem still existed. I then called them back and they had me do a clean install of the origianal OS software from the disk that came with my Mac Pro. I than re-installed Final Cut Studio and did the software updates... I still have the same issue.. And like your post stated, I can be in a project and the sound is perfect and then hit the play bar again and the sound is either distorted or it is like an echo where the track is playing and sounds like a second track is right behind it. (Almost like listening to a radio talk show and the person has the radio on and you can hear the time delay of their conversation.
The Apple support team told me to go into the user preference inside final cut and uncheck the following boxes...
Report dropped frames during palayback
abort ett/ptv on dropped frames
abort capture on dropped frames
They said by removing the checks on the three items above, I would stop receiving the Dropped Frame Error Message (until i unchecked the boxes), I would get the error message every 29 frames when trying to play the clip in the timeline. However, by remiving the checks, I still have the issue with the audio...
Question, Have you updated your software, and if so is that when the problems started occurring?
I agree with your comment "the system is basically useless until this is fixed", Please keep me posted,
Thanks

Just used migration assistant from one mac to another one. When I restart the new mac, the old user boots up instead of my new user. Have to log out then log in.

Just got a new Imac. I migrated from the old Imac. When I boot the new Imac, the old user screen boots up. I have to log out and then log into my new user on the new mac. Whats up?
Thanks.

Thanks for your help. But the PowerBook has a Migration Assistant designed for the purpose of transfering files from the old Mac to the new Mac. The steps take me to the point where I'm instructed to restart the old Mac while holding down the "T" key. But nothing happens when I do that. It just restarts and the Migration Assistant on the new Mac still reads "waiting for old Mac to restart".
There has to be a way to do this. I can't install the original applications on the PowerBook from scratch because they were meant to run on Classic. The PowerBook doesn't recognize any of the old Classic installation disks I have from previous Macs (Oddly, the PowerBook has capability to run Classic, but not the actual software-- and no Classic installation disk was provided, unlike the software provided for iBooks. And I can't install any of the System X upgrades because they need to recognize the original application already on the computer in order to upgrade.
I just calculated that if I have to rebuy all the applications I need, I couldn't afford to do it (unless someone can-- or even wants to-- take the old versions off my hands to offset the cost of buying new ones).
There must thousands of graphic designers like me who run a small business and can't afford to re-stock their entire software collection every time they upgrade to a new computer. Why would Apple diss the very people who have been supporting the company (actually keeping it alive) all these years? I don't think they would do that. I'll just have to keep looking for a solution.

Audio drops out on FCP sequence -- sometimes

A weird audio issue that is intermittent: I'm editing a feature film shot in DVCPRO HD using FCP 6. The final shot shows a character on a stage, watching as the audience applauds him, with a music underscore. By design, the film then abruptly cuts to black and all sound ceases EXCEPT for a long, steady piano note that carries until the end credits begin. The soundtrack in this sequence consists of 5 stereo sound effects tracks (the applause) and 1 stereo music track.
Sometimes when I watch the sequence in the timeline, that sole piano note lowers noticeably in volume as soon as the picture cuts to black and the other sound elements cease; the note then increases in volume right before the end credits begin. But this doesn't happen all the time. I eliminated all render files from the project, twice, and re-rendered, but it still sometimes happens. I outputted the sequence twice as a Quicktime file with sequence settings intact, and the audio lowering occurs in both instances.
Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks.

Thanks David, that solved it!

Error: "Made on a Mac" button displaying too low when published!

Okay, so in iWeb the Made on a Mac button at the bottom of my page appears to be 50 or so pixels beneath the last bit of content. The page is set to be 700x700. But the last bit of content seemingly ends at 871px and the button is situated at 932px. When I post the website the button appears 200 or more px beneath now! Any suggestions?

I think I solved it-- changed the page height to 950 (from 700px) and it displays fine.

CPU peaks / audio drops (here comes another one)

Hi all,
I know this problem exists (sudden CPU-peaks and audio-drops as a result), but I wonder if anyone has experience with M-Tron Pro in Mainstage and these audio-drops.
I'm having those problems and they're really a pain in the ***. Can't use it live because of the drops and I really need the M-Tron sounds.
Airport or wireless networks are all turned off, Mainstage (latest version 2.1.2) is the only programming that's running, CPU-meter shows a default usage of about 10% and yet I keep getting regular audio drops/CPU-overloads when I use the M-Tron Pro plugin.
Strange thing is: in Logic I can keep playing the M-Tron for ages without one single audio drop... One wonders why the internal organization or CPU-management of two programs based on the same "logic" (or at least it seems) is so different?
No other solution for me than learn to work with Ableton and run a stable live system then? Or other suggestions here?

I ran into similar problems when using a 2.0G machine, now on a 2.4, and things improved greatly. A couple of things to try:
1) run your Activity Monitor utility to see if there is anything running in the background you aren't aware of
2) try downloading and running smcFanControl to run your fan at a higher rpm when using MainStage
Have you definitely isolated the culprit to M-Tron? (after eliminating other suspects, plug-ins, etc). If so, are there any ways to minimize the CPU hit within M-Tron (check manual and forums)? I don't have the software, so can't check. For example, I use Superior Drummer, and found a lot of CPU and memory reducing tips, which helped load greatly.

Recorded Audio drops off to intermittent nose

This is a desperate plea for help. I have a meeting with one
of our engineers in two hours. My plan was to bring up the
application and record his audio as he steps through the process.
When I tried it this morning I get about a minute into the
recording before the audio drops off into unintelligible noise,
sometimes coming back to a word or two of clear audio and then
dropping away again.
Has anyone encountered this and, if so, what did you do about
it?
Thanks

Hi Frank
I have nothing to offer with regards to Captivate other than
to suggest that it may behoove you to use Sound Forge to record the
audio portion (since it appears to have no trouble there) and later
import the audio Sound Forge created back into Captivate if your
goal is to create a Captivate project using said sound.
Cheers... Rick

???_Missing audio on one channel in Prem.Elem. 4 & 7_???

Hello everyone,
I have a problem concerning Premiere Elements 7 and I can't find a solution to it. Maybe one of you had this before and is able to help me out.
I have a project with several clips where I removed the original audio and added a soundtrack file to play along. The problem is that there is only audio on one channel when I play the scene in preview. Balance is set correctly, audio file is all right. If I look at the audio file in the audio preview window both channels are visible and play just fine. If I look at the audio mixer and start the scene preview both channels are visible in the peak meter but I still only hear one channel. It doesn't matter if the audio is mp3 or wave. I looked at the audio preferences (audio output mapping): when I change the speaker setup, change right/left channel for the output devices the missing channel changes to the other side. It seems it is somehow connected to these settings. But it's the same settings as with other projects which work fine. So it's gotta be a project-related problem. It's not only in the preview missing but also when I export the scene to file. It is only with this project, but it's too much work to rebuild it. I tried the project with Premiere Elements 4, but it's the same. Other projects work fine.
I'm running it on Win XP+SP3, Intel 2,8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia 6800 GT, MSI 865 PE with onboard C-Media 9739A sound chip, lots of HD space.
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Chris.

Thank you both for your answers. The audio file is stereo with different waveforms for each channel; I just checked that in Adobe
Audition. I also checked the settings of the audio card but there's not much I can change. After these problems occured I updated the
audio card driver to the newest version available. The audio files comes from the video clip I use in the sequence originally. I severed it from the video to edit it in Audition and re-imported it since Premiere Elements hasn't that much sound editing tools. The audio file is fine. There's no channel volume effect applied to the file. As I said I can load it into another project and everything works fine. Gotta be something in this project.
Ok, ok I found it! I was playing with the audio tracks and I moved the audio file to the soundtrack track and it works! Putting it back in Audio tracks 1 or 2, one channel is missing. Very strange behavior. Or is there a way to mute one channel on a whole track since it happend to all audio files in Audio tracks 1 or 2?
Anyway, it's gone and that's great. Thank you for your help!
Chris.

Audio Drop Out

No matter how many minutes of audio or photos (believe me I tried from 2 minutes to 25 minutes of audio and 10-150 photos) that I use in DVD 6, the audio drops out for 3 seconds, always about 1 minute before the finale. Is anyone having the same problem.
I tried magic slideshow, all combinations and still...audio drops out.
When I used the 99 photo limit with the fit to audio minutes, nothing like this happened.
If there is a fix, please let me know.
Thank You all

Welcome to discussions, Bob:)
What is the source of the audio where the drop-out occurs? Purchased iTunes?
If so, burn the audio to an audio CD and import from that.
Also, how much free space do you have on the iBook?
Sue
