Is it Possible to Insert Quiz Slides at Set Times During a Video?

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to Captivate, so I apologise in advance if this question has already been answered and I couldn't find it.
I work in higher education and we create a lot of screencasts with academics speaking over Powerpoint presentations. During a presentation there is often several points where the academic would like to ask the user a question. What I want to know is if there's a way of adding question slides during a video?
Many thanks,
Ross

You will have to split up that video to be able to insert slides in between.

  • Quiz slides inserted in project; subsequent slide has audio

    Hi,
    I inserted a couple of quiz slides, true/false and multiple choice, in between 2 regular slides that have audio. When I run my project, I see the quiz slide, but the audio plays as if the quiz slides are not there. In other words, the audio for the subsequent slide plays while the quiz slide is displayed. For example:
    Slide 1 has audio
    Slide 2 is quiz
    Slide 3 is quiz
    Slide 4 has audio
    When I play, my audio goes from slide 1 to slide 4, while displaying slide 2
    I know I must have some basic setting incorrect. My quiz slides are set to On Success - Continue. The surrounding slides are set to On Enter - Continue, On Exit - No Action.
    Help!

    In Captivate you can insert audio on objects, on a single slide, and across multiple slides.
    Is it possible that your audio has been inserted to span more than one slide instead of slide-by-slides?
    If for example you had originally added your audio to a number of timed slides, and then inserted more slides in between, you may have confused Captivate as to where the audio needed to play.
    I may be on the wrong track here but thought it worth suggesting.

  • Trying to go Back from quiz slides doesn't work. Why??

    This problem was posted earlier today by another user, but no
    one has submitted a solution:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=67&catid=464&threadid =1417905&enterthread=y
    I'm having the same problem and hoping that re-posting will
    knock the answer down from the trees.
    Problem: I insert quiz slides at the end of my lesson file.
    In the compiled file, once I reach the quiz slides, if I use use
    the Back button, playbar, or menu to move back to an earlier slide,
    I can no longer access the quiz slides. There is just no reaction
    to pressing the Forward button or using the menu. The playbar jumps
    past the quiz slides in both directions and doesn't even show the
    numbering (18/25, etc) anymore for the quiz slides.
    Does anyone have any insight as to why this is happening?
    Thanks.

    AFter some experimentation, discovered the following:
    Go to Quiz > Quiz Preferences. Under Settings, there is a
    "Allow user to review quiz" check box. Under Pass or Fail, there is
    an "Infinite attempts" check box. I had both of these unselected.
    Here's what happens when you select or deselect one or both:
    Review + 1 attempt: User starts to answer questions, and then
    backs up. User can go forward again. Answered questions still
    display the answers. Once reaches unanswered questions, they are
    now locked.
    Review + Infinite: User starts to answer questions, and then
    backs up. User can go forward again. All answers to questions
    erased and user can answer all questions.
    No Review + 1 attempt: User starts to answer questions, and
    then backs up. User can't go forward again. (This was the situation
    encountered.)
    No Review + Infinite: Same as Review + Infinite.

  • Is is possible to insert more time to a composition in the beginning?

    Of course I know how to add time to the comp then move everything over that amount of time. That makes sense. But I was wondering if it's possible to insert a said amount of time at the first frame pushing existing frames to the end of the inserted time. Could be a timesaver for me.

    Simply adjust the comp duration, then use scripts like rd Shifter to offset all your layers by a given amount. I'm sure if one searched through AEnhancers.com and sites linked from there one could also find a smartified version that combines al lthe steps.

  • Quiz Slides inserted into other slides??

    Is it possible to insert a quiz slide into another slide with content on it?  I have a short story in a series of about 11 slides, and would like the user to be able to answer some questions pertaining to the paruticular slides as they unfold.  Is it possible to manipulate a multiple choice question that is inserted in another slide, and/or can the question even be inserted into a story slide?  Thanks in advance!

    Hi Sabrina
    Accept my apologies for this late answer, last week has been very hectic. I will try to make it up, will send you a link to the example slide I did create if this is really what your wanted. You'll find a screenshot.
    I create a slide with a duration of 10secs. The drawing I created (SimpleDiagrams) is visible for the duration of the slide.
    To the slide an audio is attached (it is music here, but you will have a narration, that has a timeline of 7secs. After those 7secs, the question appears (see timeline screenshot). It has 4 Text captions:
    Question itself (How many men...), labeled it Quest1
    3. 4. The three possible answers, labeled Ans1_1, Ans1_2 and Ans1_3
    The answers are covered with 3 click boxes, CB1_1, CB1_2 and CB1_3. They do only have a Success Caption, deleted Failure as well as Hint Caption. The caption gives the feedback to the user (on the screenshot I show the feedback for the correct answer). All captions are in the same location, have same size. To each caption I attached the appropriate object audio. It will play when the caption appears.
    Finally I have a 'Next' button, that is initially set to invisible in the Properties, but will become visible when the correct answer has been chosen. You have to make sure that the pausing time of this button is after the pausing time of the click boxes. I labeled this button BtNext1
    I created 2 standard advanced actions, really simple ones:
    rewind to be attached to all click boxes that sit on top of incorrect answers; they will rewind the playhead so that it will not continue when the click box is clicked (which is the default behavior); since there is nothing specific to the slide object ID's, this can be reused on all question slides; action has one statement:
    Assign   rdcmndGotoFrameAndResume with rdinfoCurrentFrame
    success to be attached to the click box on top of the correct answer (here CB1_2); it doesn't have to rewind the playhead, but will show the button that pauses the slide again (a little bit later on the timeline because the pausing time is later than for the click boxes);  this action has a slide specific object ID (the label of the button), so you will have to duplicate it to have an instance for each slide, and change the button identification (label); to make editing easier I chose this typical label, you will only have to change the last character if you label your buttons with this logical names; this action has only one statement as well:
    Show  BtNext1

  • Is it possible to have a scrolling text field in a quiz slide?

    I'm trying to build a quiz, and there is too much text that I need to display for the question. Is there any way to implement a scroll-able text field in a quiz slide?

    I suppose you don't want to use the default question slides but are creating custom question slides? Which version do you use? Since CP7 there is a Scrolling Text Interaction that you could use, compatible with both SWF and  HTML output.

  • Captivate 5.5 Is it possible to import PPT slides in Notes Page view?

    Hello experts,
    This may seem like an odd question. I'd like to display all the notes in the page of a PowerPoint deck that provides samples of code and explaintions of what the code is doing. It is too much information for the slide, which just has discussion point bullets, and I think it is too much for the closed caption pane. It this possible to import PPT slides in Notes Page view?
    Thank you so much in advance for any hints, tips, and replies.
    Kindest regards,
    P

    I found an alternative but circuitous way of achieving the desired result. In PowerPoint I opened, then I printed the PPT presentationto a PDF selecting the Notes Page option instead of Full Slide. By then using a PDF converter to convert it back to PPT I was able to insert the  PPT as is. In other words it "looks" just like the PPT Notes Page view, which is exactly what I wanted. The code snippet and notes were intact.

  • Create rrandom slides that are not quiz slides?

    Hi,
    None of the Quiz slide options provides the required quiz type I need, so I am going to create the whole course from scratch.
    I want to be able to create several slides with questions just from text I put on a blank slide, that when the user clicks a button to go to the next slide they will go to a random slide from a defined group of slides.
    Is this possible?
    If I create a slide Group, would it be possible to go to a random slide of that Group?
    I would also like to create a random starting slide so that a user does not get the same intro slide each time?
    cheers

    Hi there
    Unless someone has some fancy script to randomize things I'm going to claim it's not possible to randomize regular slides. However, I've always thought it would be a neat feature to have. I think I've subitted a feature request to ask for it in a future version. If you also believe as I do (and it sounds like you do) I'm hopeful that you and any others that feel this way will take a moment and submit a Feature Request to ask for this ability. (Link to the Feature Request is in my sig)

  • Quiz slide not advance when using question pools and advance answer options?

    Hi,
    I am using CP 5.5. I created a small test where I have just 2 question in a question pool.  The questions are using the advanced answer options to show some specific feedback. When I insert the questions in to the project using a random question slide, after the user answers where you should be able to press Y or click to move on, I click, but nothing happens.  You can't get off the quiz slide.  The quiz slides work fine when they are inserted in the project as reqular quiz slides, but not when they are being pulled from a question pool.
    Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Anyone else run in to this?
    Thanks!
      Lori

    I was having the same problem on the last Random Question slide (total 10 RQ slides), and was able to fix it by following the next steps:
    Make sure Quiz: Pass or Fail actions are set to Continue for both Passing and Failing actions in the quiz preferences.
    Delete the RQ slide not advancing, then duplicate one of the RQ slides working, and assign your question pool to the new slide if different from the original duplicate. This step will make sure you are using a good working RQ slide.
    For some reason, my last RQ slide was corrupted and wasn't advancing to the Score slide at the end of the quiz.
    I can finally finish this project.
    Good luck.

  • Can you make buttons appear "on success" on quiz slide?

    I'm not an expert Captivate user and don't know Javascript, so please excuse my ignorance if this question seems strange.
    I have a Captivate 6 project with several quiz slides peppered throughout the entire file. In other words, the quiz slides are not grouped together. Each slide, including the quiz slides, has a forward button and a back button.
    I would like for users to move forward and backward through the presentation in a linear fashion as they like, and this is working well. However, it would be nice if users weren't able to skip answering the quiz questions. I would like the buttons to appear after the user has answered the quiz question correctly, and then I would like the buttons to stay on the slide thereafter.
    Is this possible? Do you have a Javascript resource I could use for the "on success" action, or what other solutions do you recommend?
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    When you are talking about the default buttons Back and Next that you find on question slides, you don't have much control over them. As you probably did see they do not even appear as separate objects on the timeline. And I doubt that Javascript could realize what you want.
    Try first to understand how the work flow of question slides is designed:
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
    You can drag the Next button under the Clear button (see blog post), normally Next during a Quiz is not needed, since the second step (Press Y or click on the slide) will move to the next slide.
    However the Back button is a more tricky button if you really want to have it. Maybe, didn't check it out, try to hide the back button to the user (make it transparent without a stroke) and have an image appear on top of that button after the first step on the question slide. The invisible Back under the image will remain active, it even has absolute priority over other objects.

  • Added help button to quiz slide

    I am trying to add a help button to a quiz slide. I would
    like ti to pull up a slidelet or go to another slide with a image.
    All my buttons and click boxes are disabled on question slides.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    -Mark

    Hi Mark
    I believe you could accomplish this as follows:
    Create a blank Captivate project that is the same size as
    your existing project. Create the slidelet as part of this project.
    Define the rollover area and whatever else you need. Be sure to
    pause the project so the slidelet will work without the playhead
    just moving on.
    Publish this as a .SWF. You may DE-Select the HTML check box
    so all you end up with is the .SWF.
    Open the project with the Question slide. Edit the Question
    slide and click Insert > Animation. Browse to and select the
    .SWF you just created. This should allow you to insert a Slidelet
    on a Question slide.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Is it possible to insert text in a picture in Lightroom?

    Is it possible to insert text in a picture in Lightroom?

    The text options are very limited.
    Besides the watermark option mentioned already by dj_paige you can
    - add text in the Slide Show Module. Click on the letters "ABC" below the image and then select your text options from the drop-down menu. See screen shot.
    Besides "Custom Text" as shown you can select any of the other options from the drop-down menu. You are not limited to one choice - you can (one after the other) select any combination from
    the drop down menu. You can drag the text boz anywhere you want it to be and you can resize it and adjust the opacity.
    When you are done you can export the iamge as PDF - Export as PDF works also with only one image, so it doesn't have to be a "slide show" with several images.
    2) In the Print Module the text options are more limited but you can add text in the "Phot Info" panel. Unfortunately you can't move the text around and can't change the size of the text box.
    As in the Slide Show Module you can save the image from the Print Module by selecting "Print to File" which creates a JPG.

  • Why can't I change an Interaction ID on a quiz slide?

    Using Captivate 6, I can't change the Interaction ID on the quiz slides. I have resaved as a new file, unchecked "Report Answers", but nothing helps. It keeps going back to old numbers. HELP please!

    I figured out what may be causing your issue
    DO NOT delete a question slide if its interaction id is something you want to use.  First change it to something completely pointless like "fdjsdgjkfds".
    For some reason, when you delete a question slide with an interaction id (let's say "1"), that interaction id becomes unavailable to any and all slides both present and future (now "1" is unavailable to ALL slides as an interaction id).
    Example:
    Let's say we duplicated a slide with interaction id "QuizQuestion01".  Now we want to take that interaction id and apply it to the new slide but we cant, because its one id to a slide and the slide that was just duplicated still uses it.  So we delete the old slide thinking it has freed up "QuizQuestion01" to apply to the new slide.  Nope, i'm afraid the slide we just deleted took "QuizQuestion01" with it.
    It is as though the slide still exists somewhere in captivate, so captivate keeps trying to tell you that there is still a slide with that interaction id.  Possibly the solution lies in finding where captivate is storing that information regarding individual files and their question slides/interaction id's.
    So, unfortunately this isnt a cure, but a preventative measure to avoid the problem.
    When you are going to delete a question slide, change the interaction id first to something you would never use.

  • Partial Scoring on Matching Quiz Slide in Captivate 8

    Hi,
    I tried searching for the answer to this question before posting but I only located an answer for Captivate 5.5.  Is it possible to do partial scoring for a matching quiz slide in Captivate 8.  If not, does someone know a workaround?  It would also be helpful to me to know which questions slides allow partial scoring.  I am posting my trainings on an intranet site and not an LMS so I don't have the capability to do partial scoring from the LMS.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Only one type of question allows partial scoring: MCQ with multiple correct answers.
    Workaround is to create a custom question slide. The score can be stored in a variable, you'll have to collect the variable. Have some blog posts about partial scoring in custom question slides, before it appeared for MCQ in Cp. Here is an example:
    Widgets and Custom Questions - part 2 - Captivate blog
    I once created a custom matching question slide for a client (who never paid), using the D&D interactive widget from InfoSemantics, but that is only for SWF output.  And it had partial scoring.

  • Where can I find detailed instruction on how to set up Likert quiz slides in Captivate 7?

    I am learning Captivate 7 and I'm stuck trying to create a series of Likert quiz slides. I can't find detailed instruction on how to set up the selections on the scale.

    I would like to know how to read Likert results. Any help would be appreciated.
    I have 15 comments that I need feedback from. There are three possible responses; Seldom, Sometimes, & Often. I would like to assign a point value (numeric value) to each response.
    Seldom=1
    Sometimes=2
    Often=3
    Once they have been answered , I would like to then take the total point values of only specific questions and display them. (e.g.Questions 2,4,7,9,13). Is it possible to track and assign a point value to each response. I figure once I get them into variables I can create an Advance Action to do the math. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
