How do I add to a Captivate 8 Video Demo

I recently upgraded from Captivate 7 to 8. I have created a number of Video Demos in Captivate 7. I tried creating my 1st one in version 8 and am struggling with how to add to the end of the Video Demo. I usually create in segments, break, plan the next section and then record the next segment. THis used to be easy in v7. But I am not seeing how to do this in Version 8. If it is not obvious for me, it must not be obvious for others.
Can some one help me?

Maybe you forgot to click on the button 'Edit Video'? It is still on the same location as for CP7, very little has changed for the cpvc files except the feature to get rid of popups.

How do i add photos in my Ipod Video?

How do i add photos in my Ipod Video and View them?

Can you just open your ipod like a hard drive and put photos in the folder named Photo
You need to let iTunes handle the transfer in order for the pictures to be viewable on the iPod. iTunes creates specially sized preview images and organizes the pictures & previews as it does for music files. If you put the pictures on manually through Windows Explorer and the iPod hard disk "interface", then you can retrieve the pictures on another computer. But the pictures won't display on the iPod.

How do you add subtitles/text to a video?

How do you add subtitles/text to a video? Is it even possible? I'm working on a video with interviews and I want to write what they are saying underneath.

Take a look at the Ticker Tape title.
Also, you can use any Lower Third title. For subtitles, use the second line of the Title, or set the first line so that the Font size is the same as the second.

How do you add controls to an inserted video?

I have inserted a video into a captivate (responsive) slide and whilst it works, it auto plays and does not have any controls.
How do I add a play button and stop the video from auto-starting?
Thanks in advance.

I figured it out. For those who might have the same problem make sure that when you insert a video you select 'event video' in the options box. this then gives you the play controls.

HT1535 How can I add a song to a video ? I,have both on my iPad but don't know how to put together

How can I, add music to video?i,have both on my iPad and my desktop.

You need to look for a video editing program or app.
Without knowing what computer operating system you have I really can't recommend one but there are a lot, both paid and free.

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

Captivate 7 - Video Demo Function

Hi, I am a brand new user to captivate and i am wanting to make use of the video demo option to record a training session on Microsoft Office Applications. This requires me to record both the screens that i am using and my voice (using a headset). I am currently fumbling around with this because i cannot seem to find any help material or tutorials on how to use it - is there anything available? Also, just one really simple question, how do i pause the demo and then re-start it? I can currently only end the project using the End key.
Thanks for any help.

Hi there,
Welcome to Adobe Forums!
For detailed information on recording in Captivate you can launch the online help of Captivate : http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/topics.html# then check the recording section.
If you are recording in Video Demo, then you cannot Pause the recording, Puase works in case of recording software simulation.
We can only record one screen at a time in Captivate, voice can be recorded during recording the screen.
To edit the recording Preferences, please go to Edit > Preferences > Recording.
However, after ending the video demo recording you can record additional slides (insert > video recording), after recording all the slides, you can edit the slides (Split, Pan and zoom, and Trim).
Thanks.

Create new highlight box style in Captivate 7 Video Demo to use in multiple cpvc files

Hi,
Is it possible to create and then save a new Highlight Box style that can be used in multiple projects, when editing video demos in Catpivate 7? I can Create a new style by saving, but when I open another .cpvc file it is not available and I can't find a way to reuse/import.
Any ideas? I'm sure I'm making a stupid mistake somewhere.

Thanks Sreekanth,
For anyone else fairly new to Captivate (like me) I did this by saving the new style then File/Export/Styles the File/Import/Styles

Captivate 7 Video Demo using excessive bandwidth

When I create a video using the Video Demo mode, Captivate allows me to select bitrate settings. Because we have very limited bandwidth at some of our locations, I tried selecting the lowest possible bitrate of 0.19 Mbps as the Target and Maximum bitrate.
I inserted the finished MP4 file as a Progressive video into a .cptx Captivate file. I published the result as a flash file - basically using the flash file as a player for the MP4 file. When I tested it at one of our locations, it did not download at the 0.19 speed, it consumed the entire bandwidth available.
What did I do wrong? Am I missing the ability to transcode to a selected speed? Is Captivate just encoding the MP4, but not transcoding it to control the bandwidth consumption?
This is way more than I know - I'm used to encoding a video and then uploading it to a service that transcodes it to the maximum bitrate of the encoded video. However, I cannot use streaming video for this project.
Can anyone help me on this?

How do I add a title to a video clip w/ LiveType 2 and Final Cut Express 4

I have Final Cut Express 4 & LiveType 2.1.4, I'm not sure how to add titles or test to a video clip, and the tutorials for Final Cut Express 4 don't say how to get started in LiveType. How do I simply add text? The tutorials say how to add effects to the text they just don't say how to add it to the clip or how to get the clip into LiveType.

Well, you don't actually _add text_ to a video clip, you _create a text clip_ and add that clip to your timeline, either adjacent to an existing clip or on the next higher track if you want to layer the text with an existing video clip.
The very simplest way to add text is to use one of the *text generators* built into FCE. Lower Third, Text, Scrolling Text, etc. allow you to create various text clips and give you basic controls over fonts, positioning, size, color, etc. You can find the text generators in the Effects tab in the FCE Browser.
LiveType is a separate and more sophisticated application that enables you to do all sorts of things with text (much more than can be done with the FCE text generators). The basic process is - create your title in a LiveType project. Save the LiveType project. Then in FCE, import the LiveType project; from there, you can treat it just the same as any other clip.

How do I add controls to my webpage video?

Hi All,
I'm new to Flash and I'm pretty sure this a dumb question that has been asked many times - but please go easy on me as I have searched and searched through help and just can't find the answer.
I've created my first animation using a set of digital Jpeg photos and I've figured out the code for inserting this into my web page. It works perfectly and I'm very impressed with the quality of the animation and how small the file is. Now I want to add a simple control bar underneath with Stop, Play, Rewind - the usual stuff you get on YouTube, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.
Can somebody please put me out of my misery and point me in the right direction? Any advice will be very much appreciated.
Regards
Richard

Hi J.Leslie,
Many thanks for your suggestion. I've looked carefully through the page you referenced, but unfortunately there is nothing there that relates to my version of Flash or any of the tools I have available.

How do I add more memory to integrated video graphics on Satellite L30

I want to allocate more memory to my video graphics.
How do I do this?
I'm using Vista Home OS.
Many thanks.

My laptop model is SL30 (PSL33) and I'd assumed it was shared graphics.
I've maxed the RAM to 2GB, but since upgrading to Windows 7, I keep getting video graphics error messages for games I could play before in Vista.
Toshiba doesn't seem to have an updated graphics driver for Windows 7 yet, and I'm guessing this is the problem.
Does integrated graphics simply use all the RAM you have available or do you have to manually increase it?

Captivate 8 project - how is resultion actually determined ? i have video demo , imported ppt, quiz. i see a number, i don;t see hw it was determined or how to change it

bottom right says 960x720 . i search and search, but i find no discusssion of this and i don;t see any explicit control method.
Should i care ? I think I do, since captured video text is ugly or unreadable at wrong resolution or scaling factor.

Powerpoint is a weird application, but that is only my personal opinion, because the 'resolution' is specified in print units like cm or in which is insane for an application that is primarily meant for screen views.
Captivate's resolution is (logicallly) in pixels, and 920x720 is in px. When importing a PPT CP translates the print units to pixels.
Best practice is to create a Captivate file in the resolution you want to publish it, each rescaling will lead to a decrease in quality. Project rescale is first option in the Modify menu. If you are creating a responsive project, you'll have the choice for 3 such resolutions: Primary (desktop), Tablet (for Portrait mode on tablet) and mobile (Phone). Each breakpoint view can have a (slightly) different layout and between those resolutions the project will rescale, keeping the layout of the higher breakpoint.

How do I add a watermark to my videos?

I've been creating some videos for work and they're asking for a watermark of our logo in the videos. How do I do that with iMovie?
Thanks,

How do I do that with iMovie?
Tod do this within iMovie '08, you must first prepare the watermark in your favorite graphic application and place it in the position you want on a transparent background of the same size and shape as the source file you are editing and set its transparency level. Export the file in a compression format allowing an "alpha channel." (I normally use a PNG file.) Import the watermark to your iMovie '08 project and adjust its start/stop points within the project.
You can also do this a post edit using QT Pro if you have it. I prefer this method since the watermark can be positioned and scaled independently from the main content and you can adjust the final blend transparency after merging the content. Here is a "quickie" tutorial made for someone in my local area.

How do I add a higher bit rate Video track to a completed project

I have a pretty complex, time consuming project that includes a 2hr HDV track. After completing the DVD project with chapters added to my 2hr track in DVD studio pro 3, It apeared I could fit a higher bitrate encoded track on a double layerd disc. I've encoded the project again and now want to replace my lower quality track with the higher one.
will I loose my chapter points and what happends to my sub-chapter menus that are perfect as is?
Dual Core 2.5 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

First (to play safe) make a back-up copy of the DVD SP project file - ie just the frankproject.dspproj
Will I lose my chapter points and what happens to my sub-chapter menus that are perfect as is?
No you won't ...
Open your project. Import the new 2hr vision track (2hrvision_new.m2v) into DVD SP. Highlight the old vision on the timeline. Delete it. (All the chapter markers will stay put in empty space at this stage.) Drop 2hrvision_new.m2v onto V1 of the timeline. That should be it. If you don't have compression markers in your new mpeg you may have to tweak the exact positioning of the chapter markers; but if you do have compression markers the GOP boundaries will be the same and the chapter positions shouldn't move.
If you have any problems you've still got the back-up project you made earlier, and you can try over again.
