Legal issues with distributing Captivate projects

Are there any legal issues to consider is for example a
tutorial is created with Captivate and then that tutorial is sold
and distributed via Web and CD?

Hi niatross and welcome to our community!
If you are referring to anything "Legal" wise with regards to
what you produce using Captivate, there is nothing you have to do
as far as Adobe is concerned. They supply you the software and you
are totally free to do what you want with the output from that
software.
However, you could run up against a possible legal issue if
perhaps you used Captivate to record something that was copyrighted
and distributed that.
Make sense? I hope so.
Cheers... Rick

Captivate 8 - How to change to producing "project.json" file instead of a "project.txt" file? Having issues with viewing published projects due to this.

Captivate 8 - How to change to producing "project.json" file instead of a "project.txt" file? Having issues with viewing published projects due to this. Would be thankful fo rany/all advice.

I'm having the same issue. I've been able to work around it by opening the txt file and copying the contents. Then I open a new file in Sublime Text 2, paste the contents and save the new file as "project.json". It seems to work, but it'd been nice if I didn't have to do this everytime I publish a new project.

Issues with transferring CS5 project with Adobe Dynamic Links to CS5.5

Hello all!
Has anybody encountered the issue with transferring CS5 projects with Adobe Dynamic Links to CS5.5?
When I try to do it the movie hangs on at some clips which are AE compositions...
The CS5 project works perfectly.
All AE CS5 compositions are transerred to AE CS5.5 compositions.
All 'old' Adobe Dynamic Links in Pr CS5.5 project are changed to 'new' ones (I mean, links to AE CS5 composition changed to links to AE CS5.5 compositions)...
Any help will be appreciated

Tried to play around. Realised that a solution should be somewhere around re-rendering, 'cos linked AE compositions were always displayed in yellow as if they were original footages - even I changed a composition within AE, just transitions, if they were, changed to red in Pr Pro sequence...
However, I was unable to re-render 'Entire Work Area' even after deleting all Render Files, just 'Effects in Work Area'...
Then I simply created a new sequence and copied and pasted all the clips from original sequence. Now I was allowed to 'Render Entire Work Area'.
Voilà!

Issue with Distributed Queue and WebLogic Clustering

Hi, When a message is received by distributed queue, MDB is processing the message on two managed servers. There seems to be issue with clustering and the physical queues present on both the managed servers are receving the message.
Our environment configuration details are as below:
One Web logic Cluster with 2 nodes (2 managed web logic servers).
One MDB deployed on the cluster listening to a queue with JNDI name “xng/jms/CODEventsQueue”
One Distributed queue with two members on the two nodes of the cluster, and with JNDI name “xng/jms/CODEventsQueue”
Two members of the distributed queue deployed on two JMS servers, which are separately deployed on each managed server .
And the distributed queue is deployed on the cluster.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Sampath

It is not clear to me how you concluded that "both the managed servers are receiving the message". Did you monitor the queues' statistics, or did you see both MDB instances received the same message?
It looks like that you using a weighted distributed queue. Do the two physical queues that compose the distributed queue have their own JNDI names? If so, what are they?
Have you tried to use a uniform distributed queue and see if the same behavior shows up?
You can find more about uniform distributed destination at
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs103/jms/dds.html#wp1313713
BTW, which WebLogic Server releases are you using? Could you provide the distributed queue configuration?
Thanks,

File.copyTo - issues with copied Flash10 Project .app

I'm currently working on a project which has functionality to export a selected number of slides to a Folder, complete with a Flash 10 .exe or .app to play the files with.
I've been running into a major issue with copying the .app. Once the presentation has been exported from the Installed AIR app, the .app projector file will not open, it attempts to open and immediately closes again.
Funnily enough, it works perfectly when outputting from the Flash IDE (coding in flex) in the debugger, the .app file is copied fine and it works perfectly. It's only when attempting from the installed AIR app.
The code I have is:
var originala:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(_app);
var appX = "Presenter.app";
var copya:File = file.resolvePath(dir+appX);
originala.copyTo(copya);
_trace.add("[FILE SYSTEM] Copy of Presenter.app is Package: " + copya.isPackage + ", if false, Projector will not work!");
I originally thought it wasnt copying over the .app directory as a package, but it seems to, so that was the reason for the trace.
I've even bought a copy of CS5 to see if the issue is resolved with the AIR 2.0 RC, it's downloading now.
I have no idea why this isn't working and I am on a tight deadline.
Any one got any ideas?
Thanks.

OK, I really need help with this...
I have included a .zip (link below) which has a small test bed AIR app including all source...
When running installed AIR app (Copy doesn't work):
isDebugger: false
playerType: Desktop
version: MAC 10,1,53,64
When previewing from .fla in Flash IDE (Copy does work):
isDebugger: true
playerType: Desktop
version: MAC 10,0,12,36
Please please please help!

[EDIT] So it looks like I just can't copy from the applicationDirectory. But I dont want to have to include extra files with the installer I wanted to include it in the installer. Is there any way for me to do this?
[EDIT 2] I have tried a extracting a .zip included in the package with FZip and ZipLib, both produce the same results, the .app doesnt work.

New delay issues with already created projects in Captivate 6

Good afternoon,
I have about 20 projects that I've created with Captivate 6 with the past few months that are in need of some minor updating. They've always run fine, but when I open them for editing, I'm finding such things as a 10 second delay after the audio on a slide finishes and the next slide appears. The slides end within .5 seconds of the audio. When I play back the audio on an individual slide, it stutters, repeating the last few words or syllables. There are delays when a click box should appear, up to about 9 seconds, and delays after you click on the box before the next slide shows. There are several other problems, all dealing with delays.
I've run all the Adode updates, installed the latest Flash Player, restarted the laptop, and ran a virus scan. At this point, Captivate 6, and my 20 projects, are dead in the water.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks Rod. I was able to run the batch file to remove the preferences. It seems to be marginally better, but I'm still getting delays which seem to be related to the stuttering in the audio that I mentioned earlier. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall to see what happens. Thanks again.

Issue with turning on project 2010 / 2013 - "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."

I get the following error after the installation and configuration window of MS Project: "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."
It happens both with MS Project 2010 and 2013 on a Windows 7 desktop.
I tried installing / uninstalling Office 2010, MS Project, tried installing 32 and then 64 bit versions, clean up, disk error checker, startup changes (msconfig), anti virus, running as Windows 7 and then Windows XP compatible mode.
Nothing helps. I see this issue reported as early as 2007 version of MS projects on Microsoft forums, but I do not see any solution anywhere. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue without having to reformat hard drive? Every other application, including
all other Office programs work seamlessly.
I also tried Microsoft support, after an hour and a half of basically doing what I did before, I was told I have to pay 99$ for "premium" support, so someone can look at this bug.
I have 16 Gb RAM and more than 200Gb or hard drive free, so actual memory is not the problem.

This issue was originally reported with MS Project 2007 and keeps popping up since.
A quick Google search provides more than 200K pages of results of this issue:
https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren't+using%2C+and+then+try+again.
And 193K results on Bing:
http://www.bing.com/search?q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren%27t+using%2C+and+then+try+again.&go=Submit&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=there+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+to+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren%27t+using%2C+and+then+try+again.&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=4cb023c1fbd94ec2bba9821b095f21f2
Computer was defragged already. I run more tests, and specifically when MS Projects tries to run, it tries to take all memory, more than 300Gb, on the computer. (DropBox was running at the same time, and warned that there were no space. As soon as MS Project
stopped attempting to configure itself, everything came back to normal and the available space became available again.)
Looking through older forum posts, looks like this application tries to take "unlimited" amount of memory. Some registry fixes are mentioned potentially, but I was not able to apply them.
Since everything else works, this is a MS Project bug reported by multiple users on various versions of Windows, including Vista and 7, so please provide a fix and not 'not a know bug' lie. All the premium support will say, is to format the hard drive, unless
they have a patch or a registry edit solution. If the latter is true, since the issue exists for multiple years, it should have been already been provided to users.
Also, I am not running a SQL server, or any server, this is an installation on a local machine.

Render time Issues with 5.0 project in CC 12.1

This is actually a copy of a post I had in a different discussion entitled "render time" but this now
I did some extensive testing to try and see why my render times in CC were so much slower that 5.5 and I found some very interesting results.
The original project was created in 5.0 and opened in 5.5 and rendered, it contained video footage and graphics. When it was render in 5.5 it rendered in 4:27. When I opened it in 12.1 and rendered it was 18:00. I then started turning off layers and my render times shot up. basically layer 12 had two animated masks on colored solid. With this off it took 8:30
I then imported the project into 12.1 and saved it, reopened it and with layer 12 off it took 5:11. So importing and saving the project made a difference. Now I recreated layer 12 in 12.1 from scratch and turned it on and my rendered time was 6:50.
So there is something going on with projects being converted from earlier versions - Now to really test this theory I would need to recreate the project from scratch and compare to the 5.5 times.
To further test this we did the same sort of testing with a different comp and found similar results - the render times were different if it was imported vs. just opened. But the big thing we found with this comp was a layer where we were moving large stills with some z space. It looks like the 3d from 5.0 was causing a major slow down in CC on layers that has AE 3d applied.
I think the major take away is if your comp was created in 5.0 and you need to modify it, then make changes in 5.5 or 5.0 or be prepared to recreate any layers with more than simple key frames.
Just to also answer some other questions - in rendering to prores vs. animation or dvcprohd the times were almost the same. The animation was slightly longer but that makes sense cause the file was much bigger.
I also found that with 32 gigs of ram my magic number was 11 reserved for other apps ...
Hope someone can jump in and add some light to this
This was all done on a 2010 mac pro 2.66 w 12 cores 36 megs ram running 10.8.4 - I have 5.5 and CC and the 12. 1 updates are installed and the video card is an NVidia 575. Mulit threading was on and in 5.5 - 9 Megs is reserved and in 12.1 - 10 is reserved

I've experienced similar problem with Java Web Start twice.
Also using JRE version 1.5.0_06 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM and Browser Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 on Windows XP (Problem was the same with Java 1.4.2)
My application was signed and launched via JNLP. The security warning popup was shown in the windows taskbar, but it was hidden. Using maximize in the taskmanager, I was able to see the dialog but it was blank. The problem was persistent, although I did not try as many times as 20-30 :-)
On both occations the problem occured on multi (3) screen systems, which I suspected to be the problem (Java has historically had some issues regarding multi screen systems), but now I'm not so sure.
Did you find a solution / cause?

Issue With Creating New Projects

Hi there,
I've been using PP for a long time with no problems. However, I've been using a single project (and multiple sequences within it). I recently tried making a new project with different settings - upon watching the video exported from this, it freezes (In Quicktime, VLC and even when uploaded to video sites such as Youtube and Vimeo).
So, this was a disappointment after I'd worked on a project for a while - I tried making new projects, even with the same settings as my single project that does work, and found the exact same - the video exported freezes a few seconds in.
Is this a problem many have come across? I have an issue in that I have no way of re-accessing registration details - this account was simply made for a trial download. If there are any solutions that do not involve reinstallation, I'd love to hear them.

Try this: http://blogs.adobe.com/genesisproject/2009/11/having_weird_behavior_with_an.html
Other than that, I think you'd need to provide more information about the media used, the system used and what you're trying to accomplish.

I have an issue with the latest project i am working on. When i open the file, the arrange window fails to open

Really strange issue. Only on one project.
If i open the file, i can see logic running through the list of instruments, but the only window that opens is the fixed note length Midi transform window. I cant see the arrange window anywhere!
If i khit play on my midi controller keyboard, i can play the project and hear everything as it should be, but just cant see the arrangement.
If i attempt to close the Midi transform window, it wants to close the who project.
Any ideas on what i do!?
Thanks

Thanks, but i'd already tried that and it didnt work.
I have managed to fix it though, and for anyone else with the same issue, here is what i did:
Find your Logic project file
Right Click on the project, and choose 'Show Contents'
Open the displayed folder 'LgDoc'
Remove the file 'displayState'
open the project, and all should be good!

Issue with .flv Captivate and LMS

Hi, I am testing an LMS that we will be rolling out in the
New Year. We have produced some Captivate2 modules and have
successfully loaded them as SCORM2004 onto the LMS and they run
okay.
I tried creating a .flv using Studio8 and inserted it into a
Captivate 2. The module runs okay on my harddrive. I create the
manifest.xml file and zip all the content and upload onto the LMS.
The LMS will launch the file okay and it plays and stops at the
point where the flv should play - but it doesn't there is nothing
not even the small flv controls are displayed. If I click on the
forward button it advances to the next part of the Captivate as
normal.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?
thanks
Gerry

I highly recommend you look at:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=67&catid=470&threadid =1203710&highlight_key=y&keyword1=flv
This issue is one that is CAUSED by Adobe. The flvs work fine
on an Adobe server. They are trying to force people to use their
service.
It sucks, and I hope someone fixes it soon -- not being able
to play flv is ridiculous.

Rendering issues with imported Motion project in FCP

I have various titles for a DVD prepared in Motion that are imported as project files into Final Cut Pro.
When playing back the rendered timeline in FCP to a TV, the animation on these titles (scaling and moving of text and untextured, 100% opaque rectangles) looks fine. When I render the timeline to a QuickTime (DV PAL) they still look fine on a monitor, though obviously not a great test on a progressive display.
After using Compressor (and a suitable preset for PAL content) and burning to a disc from DVD Studio Pro, the animation is jumpy. Some elements in the project with a Fade In/Fade Out behaviour with Fade Out duration set to 0 suddenly disappear for a short period (looks like one frame) - these objects end on the timeline in the same frame that their Fade In/Fade Out behaviour also ends.
If I render the Motion project to a QuickTime file with transparency and overlay that in FCP then follow the same route through Compressor and DVD Studio Pro everything looks as I expected... smooth motion and no disappearing elements.
Any ideas? Should I just keep rendering Motion projects out to separate files to overlay in FCP? That seems a bit of a waste of the integration between FCP and Motion.

This gives me pause: AEManager::scanForPluginsInDirectory(PCString) + 1011
I'd check for any third party plugins...

Oracle service bus file protocol issue with distributed queue

Hi,
I have created a file protocol based proxy service and it is deployed to a clustered environment. The clustered environment has -
Machine 1 - Admin server(AS) and Managed server 1 (MS1)
Machine 2 - Managed server 2(MS2)
There are 2 JMS servers jms1 and jms2 which are targeted to MS1 and MS2 respectively.There are 2 JMS queues(queue1 and queue 2) created, one each targeted to jms1 and jms2. The system module under which the queues are created is targeted to the cluster. There is uniform distributed queue(bind to wlsb.internal.transport.task.queue.file) created under the same system module of which queue1 and queue 2 are members.
Currently when the proxy service poller server is given as MS1 then if the file is picked up and send to queue 1 then it gets processed successfully but if the file is send to the queue 2 then it remains in the stage directory of the proxy service. Similarly if the proxy service poller server is given as MS2 then its get processed through queue 2 but if it is picked up in queue1 then it remains in the staging directory.
Am i missing any configuration here related to the queues set up ? Why file does not get processed if it is send to the queue(which is other than the poller managed server) ?
Please help
Thanks

I have installed OEPE 11.1.1.6.1 now in the same middleware home as weblogic server but when i try to install OSB 11.1.1.4 in the same middleware home, it asks for OEPE home location. Even though i provide the OEPE home location , it displays as "invalid oepe home location".
I have been struggling to get this sorted out so that i can carry out IDE development in OSB 11.1.1.4
Below are the paths where sfotware are installed -

Captivate 5.5 issue with finding external files

I have a project where I am trying to have a swf open another document (pdf, ppt, etc.). What I am having an issue with is Captivate does not see the files if they are not in the same directory as the swf. I have tried multiple options. I can not have a drive letter involved as this is a mobile file which will be run off of a USB drive.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi there
I'm not sure what you are experiencing here. How exactly have you tried to path your links? If you know the "HTML Shorthand" of accessing files it should not be a problem. Captivate won't need to "see" the files. Certainly plopping all the files together is the simplest (and most often recommended) way of working, but as long as you know how to use what we call "Relative Addressing", things should work fine.
So if you want a structure like this:
Captivate SWF Folder
** SomeSWF.SWF
** SomeSWF.HTM
** Standard.JS
And maybe you want a folder named PDFS that would make the structure look like this:
Captivate SWF Folder
** SomeSWF.SWF
** SomeSWF.HTM
** Standard.JS
** PDFs
**** SomePDF.PDF
The link inside Captivate would simply look like this:
PDFS/SomePDF.PDF
Or maybe you have a folder named PDFS that you want at the same level as the Captivate SWF Folder so the structure looks like this:
Captivate SWF Folder
** SomeSWF.SWF
** SomeSWF.HTM
** Standard.JS
PDFs
** SomePDF.PDF
In that case the link inside Captivate would look like this:
../PDFS/SomePDF.PDF
Also, if you are testing on your local C drive, the links may not work because you need to asjust your Flash Player Global Security Settings and add the output folder as a trusted location.
Steps for doing that are at the link below:
