Is it possible to play two videos at the same time in Captivate 4

My idea is to create some e-learning material which shows a screencast of a powerpoint presentation and a video in the top left corner of the screen showing somebody presenting the slides.
Does anybody know if it is possible to do this with Captivate 4?
I know this functionality is provided in Adobe Director.
Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
Jay

Hi Jay
Do you have the eLearning Suite? If so, you have Adobe Presenter available to you. If you don't, you should be able to download the Presenter installation file and evaluate it.
Presenter is an add in for PowerPoint. The neat thing about it is that it provides for a Table of Contents type of functionality as you see is configured in Captivate. But the twist with that is you are able to do something you cannot do in Captivate. You are able to insert videos inside the TOC area!
Just musing out loud... Rick

How to play two videos at the same time

Hi everyone!
Ok, so what I'm trying to do is basically play two videos, which are already saved on the computer, at the same time. I can get one video to play, but when i try to start another it just displays a blank screen.
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.media.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.media.protocol.*;
public class TwoVideoTest {
     public static void main(String[]args) {
     MediaLocator locator1 = null;
     MediaLocator locator2 = null;
     try {
     locator1 = new MediaLocator("file:/C:/truck1.mpg");
     locator2 = new MediaLocator("file:/C:/truck2.mpg");
     } catch(Exception e) {
     System.out.println("COULNDT CREATE LOCATORS IN MAIN TEST CLASS");
                      System.exit(-1);
     Player player1 = null;
     Player player2 = null;
                 try {
      player1 = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(locator1);
     player2 = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(locator2);
                  } catch(Exception e) {
          System.exit(0);
     JFrame frame = new JFrame();
     frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
   JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
    panel1.add(player1.getVisualComponent());
   frame.getContentPane().add(panel1);
   frame.setSize(new Dimension(500,500));
   frame.setVisible(true);
   player1.start();
   player2.start();
}

HELLO AGAIN! I guess i post too soon....
So i modified my code and now the videos play together. Threads, sigh.
But the audio that comes with the video doesn't appear to be starting at the same time. And this problem I ASSURE you i have no clue how to handle. And yes i know, the two video audios will overlap, but this a test for heavens sake!
Anyways, heres the modified code in case it will help anyone
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.media.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.media.protocol.*;
public class Video implements Runnable{
     String url;
     MediaLocator locator;
     Player player;
     JPanel panel;
     public Video (String url,JPanel panel) {
          this.url = url;
          try {
               locator = new MediaLocator(url);
               player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(locator);
               panel.add(player.getVisualComponent());
               player.start();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("ERROR CREATING MEDIALOCATOR");
               System.exit(-1);
     public void run() {
          try {
          Thread.sleep(100);
          } catch(Exception e) {}
     public static void main(String[]args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
          JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
          panel1.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100,100));
          panel2.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100,100));
          Thread thread1 = new Thread(new Video("file:/C:/truck1.mpg",panel1));
          Thread thread2 = new Thread(new Video("file:/C:/truck2.mpg",panel2));
          frame.getContentPane().add(panel1);
          frame.getContentPane().add(panel2);
          frame.setSize(new Dimension(500,500));
          frame.setVisible(true);
          thread1.start();
          thread2.start();

Loading and Playing 2 videos at the same time

Hello everyone
I'm having a problem on loading and playing two videos at the same time on XletView.
The background video, I'm loading by editing channels.xml that is located at config folder into xletview folder. I've just to add the file path and when i start the video it starts playing.

Its possible to stream one video at the same time to three appletv2?

Its possible to stream one video at the same time to three appletv2?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't stream a movie to more than one device at a time from iTunes. You can however stream the same (or indeed a different) movie from multiple Apple TVs although they won't necessarily be in sync.

Apple TV plays two languages at the same time!

Hello,
I ripped some of my DVDs using handbrake. I added two language tracks (original language + my mother tongue).
After adding meta data with subler i also checked both language tracks at subler so they will both appear in itunes.
Everything works fine when i watch the movie on my computer, i can perfectly switch languages in the settings menu.
But wen i stream it to my apple tv (i use itunes on my computer at chose apple tv as streaming device/airplay instead of browsing with the apple tv directly)
it will play both languages at the same time! no matter if i chose a language in itunes or not, it always plays both languages.
Did anyone else have this problem?
Or even a solution?

When an apple tv and an airport express are connected at the same time and the apple tv is powered on, the itunes multiple speakers feature will show both the express and the apple tv. you can select either, or both using the multiple speakers option.

Is it possible to run two applications at the same time on ipad.

Hi,
I would like to know of it is possible to play media apps (movies or bbc iplayer programs) while surfing the Internet with safari on ipad2. Even if I can't actually see the video while I'm surfing the net but can still hear it and can jump between the Internet and the movie without the movie stopping.
Somehow I think the answer to this is no but then I also thought it wasn't possible to do print screen images with ipad until someone showed me how.
Can anyone help?
Thanks :)

Prior to iOS 6, it was possible to "multitask" with some media like playing audio from YouTube video while playing a game or surfing the web, but it changed in iOS 6.
There are always a few surprises in major iOS releases, so who knows, it might work again in iOS 7. I never set my expectations for anything other than what Apple talks about publicly, but like I said, you never know.

Play two instruments at the same time?

Hi!
I'm stuck with GarageBand right now, where I can only play one instrument at a time. Preferably I want to play both (for example) piano and strings using one real-time MIDI input. Is it possible to do that with either Logic Express or Pro?

Do you mean play the same thing at once with two instrumets simultaneously playing two different sounds?

Can itunes play two songs at the same time? Mine can!!

If you let a song run until just before the end and then click to an earlier part in the song on the time bar, itunes starts playing both that tune and the next one.
Does this happen with anyone else?
What a basic error, how did apple not catch this?
Peace and God Bless.

Actually, I have the same problem...only moreso.
When I'm streaming from another computer, my songs frequently start double-playing without my doing ANYTHING at all. Right now, The Skeleton Killers' "Despair" is doubling up--that's twice the dirge--and I wasn't even touching the computer when it started.
Oh, goodie! One of the streams has finished and the next song, George Michael's "Outside", has begun, now running concurrently with the last minute of "Despair". I can't tell you how poorly these songs go together.
The problem started with 7.0 and continues with 7.0.1
Apple! Help!

[KDE] Unable to play two sounds in the same time

I am switching from gnome to kde, and i did a fresh install (i formatted) the entire system.
The problem is that, for example, before in genome i was able to have songbird playing while a movie was being as well played and if someone talked to me via pidgin, the warning sound would be heard as well....
In kde, if i am listening to amarok, i cannot listen the audio from a video from youtube, and sometimes, while i am listening to music, someone talks to me on kopete, stops the playback on amarok and then plays the new message warning sound...... i understand this is a misconfiguration of my audio system, isn't it?
Where should i start from? I am using xine as sound engine (phonon-xine)-.....
Thanks!

Seems to be a problem with your alsa conf...
But, here with a stupid intel chipset, it works without any configuration !
Maybee your gnome was configured with pulseaudio?

I want to play two sources at the same time - what software is there?

Hi
Something of an unusual request. I have CDs of natural background sounds (my favourite is one of the sea which I have on iTunes on repeat). The sad thing is, I have to choose between these and my music.
What I need is a free CD player (software) that allows me to play my CDs on repeat in the background, then I can use iTunes for all my regular music playlists, and have them both going at once.
Any ideas?

I've found something called SimpleAudioCDPlayer which plays the CD (and does have a Loop facility).
Problems:
1. there is no icon in the Dock, just a little icon that floats right in the middle of my screen (I can adjust it to tiny but it's not moveable and is a bit of a nuisance)
2. more seriously, there is no volume control which means I cannot reduce the sea sound to background sound.
So maybe someone knows of something better?

Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of my iPad 2? or it's only possible in the Video App?

Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of the iPad 2? Or create a playlist for the Video App? or sort the music videos by artist, genre, album, etc.?

I have two music videos on my iPad and they don't even show up in the Music App - only in the Videos App so I have to conclude that you can only play them in the Videos App.
I could be wrong - heaven knows it won't be the first time - but I see no way to play it in the Music App.

There's two ways you can go about this Amanda.
1. Set the length of your images for example 8 seconds each. Offset the photo's like a ladder effect and add the animating keyframes. The red dots in the image below represent the start/finish points of the animation.
2. The other option is to set the length of all the same, then use keyframes to set the start/ finish of the animation.
I always use example 1, however example 2 would probably be easier to understand?
Hope that helps

I am very disappointed with iTunes. I have 1200 songs and I can't play them. I try to play them and before one song finish a song starts playing. This then results in hearing two songs at the same time. I will like to know if you can fix this. I feel li

Is it possible to output to div monitor and s-video at the same time?

I'm editing video and want to see the broadcast results on the fly (ie monitor and tv side by side, same image onscreen). Is it possible to output to div monitor and s-video at the same time? Maybe thru a splitter cable. I'm concerned about resolution issues.

This is not possible with a mini.
