Thanks,

Hi there
While you are using Captivate, I'm going to have to say you are really asking in the wrong place. Certainly the question doesn't seem related to Captivate Quizzing features or working with a Learning Management System, so for starters you are in the wrong forum category. But that aside, I do hope you realize that the HTML 5 converter is BETA software. Being that as it is, I'm not sure you are allowed to actually use anything produced by it in a distributable product. Not to mention that because it's in BETA, that could also account for some of the issues you are facing. So from that standpoint, if there is a feedback or beta forum for the HTML 5 converter, you may want to ask there.
Otherwise, this would seem to fall squarely into the InDesign realm. You might try re-posting in the InDesign forums.
Best of luck to you in sorting it... Rick

Adobe Captivate and DPS/InDesign - Simulations

Hi, we're working on an elearning/ebook product into which we want to include some practice simulations. (The ebooks are for training on specific software.)
I've successfully created the type of simulations we'd want to build (just a simple one for a test for now) where I record a short "training" in Captivate where it's recording mouse clicks with the popups to warn you if you click in the wrong place.
I want to include this simulation in InDesign for a DPS publication.
I have tried using the Wallaby beta application from the Labs to produce my FLA as HTML5. However, I get a few errors like this:
Unsupported feature: Dynamic Masks are not supported
Context stack:
Mask contains multiple framesets: FrameSet[0]: frames[0,0]
    Layer[0]: Bounding Box
      TimeLine[0]: Slide_7
        Slide_7
          Slides (Adobe Captivate)
            Symbol: Adobe Captivate Objects
And when I insert the HTML5 produced into InDesign, and run the Preview in Content Viewer, it runs automatically through the screen captures, with no user click input and without the popup tips or warnings I had in Captivate.
Am I doing it wrong, or is this not yet possible in DPS? Is there another way to do it if this way doesn't work?
(PS I literally started learning Captivate this afternoon, please go easy on me!)

Adobe captivate and facebook

I did create my quizz in adobe captivate 7, everything was fine,

I need your help. You must undertand that facebook, is know an important way to get to people icluding students.
What to do.
Thanks.

Hi there
Am I correct in understanding that you want to actually publish a Captivate to facebook? Is your goal for the end user to be able to view the Captivate via facebook?
Assuming so, the only way I can fathom that happening is if you created a simple video from Captivate and uploaded the Captivate video as a video in facebook. And that would have no interactivity. You would just watch it play.

Adobe AIR and HTML5

Hi,
I am trying to run a HTML5 web application inside Adobe AIR, However it is unable to load the page. Other websites open fine.
Does Adobe AIR support HTML 5? If yes, how do I get a HTML5 page to display in the frame?
Thanks.

AIR has no support for HTML 5 offline storage as it uses the embedded SQLite database software. Here's a list of items which are, and are not, supported by AIR 2.5:

Adobe Captivate and Virtual Desktop (citrix)

I have captivate 5 and I'm using it through a virtual desktop in citrix. The problem I have it when I try to start a recording, the application stops responding and closes without leaving any event. The captivate 5 it´s supported for citrix virtual desktop?

Hi there,
It will be helpful if you can give us the following information
1. Has this scenario worked for you when using Captivate 4?
2. What are you trying to Capture? You can let us know the type of application, type of capture setting, and when does it close the application.
3. Apart from recording, are other workflows in Cp 5 working as expected?

Need Replacement Redemption Codes for Adobe Captivate and Presenter

The Chat Tech Support is a hell hole.....always says 'there are several people ahead of you' and never get your turn. Any email address to file this complaint? I purchased Elearning Suite (became Creative Cloud) in May 2013 and until now have not used the product.

Hi mlakunnath,
Please elaborate the problem.

Difference between captivate and presenter

HI, what's the difference between Adobe captivate and
presenter. Do they both do the same? Which one is better for use in
creating online training modules?

It took me a while to "get it" too. Yoiu can take a look at
Adobe's spin on things from the blog site maintained by Silke
Fleicher from Adobe at:
Sike Fleicher
Blog
But the real truth of this is that they are quite different:
-Captivate Excels at computer software simulations, software
demos and software learning simulations (where the user gets to try
a simulation test.)
-Captivate is a stand-alone application and not an add-in to
powerpoint
-Captivate does let you import PowerPoint slides
-Captivate creates a stand-alone CP file to store your setups
and then you publish to Flash, Word, Acrobat
-Captivate does not produce a side-panel to show progress,
but it does provide a wide range of progress bars and related
forward and back button options and positions
-Presenter is an add-in to PowerPoint
-Presenter has an optional navigation panel to show progress,
but it has limited forward and back navigation button options.
-Presenter is more like PowerPoint, but you gain Quiz sets or
single Quiz options and the ability to integrate and embed Flash
content such as Captivate SWF files as a slide set. For example you
can have a PowerPointesque look with a navigation pane on the left
or right and then present the user with a video or software
simulation on another slide and then Quiz the user about the
materials or demo.
I would consider Presenter to be about as hard as learning
how to use PowerPoint, but all of the options are now on one menu.
I would consider Captivate to be about as hard as learning to
use Excel, where the basics are easy, but there are many options.
For Software demos and simulations, Captivate is the better
choice.
For Quiz-Enabled PowerPoint, Presenter 7 is the better choice
For e-learning of Software, you can use juset Captivate, but
both products make a good team
Finally, while Adobe charges a bit too much $$$$ for each,
the cost is recouped with the time you save on a large project. If
the products were 1/2 of the list price, they would probably sell
10X the number of copies and create some real BUZZ about these
products for the group of people that are not e-learning
professionals (a huge group).
The final piece is a system that integrates the Quiz results
for user login and score tracking. Known as a Learning Management
System (LMS). Both Presenter 7 and Captivate export to Adobe's
Connect system in Connect format and they also publish to SCORM or
AICC formats used by other systems. However, the cost of the
Connect system for LMS (not the live presentation piece, just the
e-learning piece) is well beyond reach for a small company (about
3X the price of other products). The 40% annual maintenance fee
charges, limited feature set and slow to fix it support make
Connect about a grade "C" compared to the competition. Adobe can do
far better to make Connect the LMS tool that it could be in terms
of features, price and bug repairs. So if you need a LMS to go with
this, then you should certainly look at Connect and price it (it is
nice), but look at what you could get elsewhere for both features
and support at a given price point.

Captivate and Canvas LMS by Instructure

Hi
Does anyone know if there is any info or procedures for connecting Captivate to Canvas LMS by Instructure?
Can it be done using LTI?
Any info whatsoever would be helpful.
Thank you!
Matt

Thanks Tom. Have you any experience building a middleware app that would allow Captivate to talk to Canvas? Or have you heard of anyone doing this?
I received this response from Canvas:
"You will most likely have to build your own app (middleware) that can bridge the communication gap between Adobe Captivate and LTI. What is your programming language of preference? We do a lot of ruby at Instructure, so we have a lot of example ruby apps on github, if you wanted to use one of them as a place to start."

Adobe Captivate 8 serial number message preventing me from using right product

I wanted to download Adobe Captivate and accidentally purchased the Captivate 8 Upgrade.
I discovered my error when I was prompted to "upgrade" a qualifying product that I did not own.
I then downloaded the trial version, in order to demonstrate the value of the commitment (show my employer what the program could do) but the prompt to select a qualifying product keeps preventing me from accessing the trial version.
I have spoken with tech support and the cancellation of the original purchase is supposed to have begun/completed.
Now I can not launch the trial or full version as it continues to auto detect the upgrade verification code and states it can not find a product to upgrade.
thanks,
Joe

I understand that, however...
When I launch the trial version (I want to create something to show before I spend money on our company's account) I am asked to sign in and immediately taken to this screen.
I have no option to proceed.

Can anyone offer me assistance with Adobe eLearning and building an Asynchronous Webinar?

I am looking for some assistance, best practices, ideas and support on how to create Asynchronous Webinars (eLearning) using Adobe Captivate and would love anyone's assistance!

Captivate could be used to provide recordings of webinars, but isn't a platform for providing actual webinars...
So if you gave a webinar using applicable tools, like Connect or WebEx or such...and recorded that webinar...you could place the video recording in Captivate and add a variety of components (slides, bullets, effects, interactions, etc)...though Adobe Presenter may be better suited as I believe its sold as more a Connect companion...
What are you trying to achieve? Do you have an actual webinar platform already?

Why Does Adobe Captivate 8 Web Object Not Get Published Correctly

Hi
I am trying to insert a YouTube video in Adobe Captivate and publish it. While it previews fine, when i publish it as an SWF, i see just a blank frame.
Can you help out here? Also, if I want to publish it as an PDF, will the video play there too?
Warm Regards
Akshay

Hi Akshay,
I am assuming the method you are using now is embedding Youtube videos into your Web object. My suggestion is it will be much easier if you use the Youtube Learning Interaction instead of a Web object to insert Youtube videos to your Captivate project.
This can be found in the Interactions Toolbar -> Learning Interactions -> Youtube
Also, as Sreekanth mentioned, please test it on a web server, or SCORM cloud.
Youtube interaction will work when exported to PDF as well.

Mohana

Adobe Captivate won Best of ELEARNING! 2007 award!

I cannot even believe in this piece of news, am very happy
with the conquered title, it cost all the efforts dedicated to this
fantastic technology.
Congratulations to every team of the Adobe Captivate and the
Communities that do from this technology an evolution in the
market

Tell me, if Adobe isn't operating at this level, who is?
There is little excuse for Adobe if it isn't winning awards.
Anyone who pays for Adobe software knows that we expect
Adobe to be excellent. It almost always is.... ALMOST.

Is Adobe Captivate for me?

Hello,
I came across Adobe Captivate and the eLearning Suite while looking for screen capture video software. I don't know if this is going to serve my purpose and that is my question.
What I would like to do is create tutorial videos through screen capture and video recording. For instance, I might record how to install a sound card into a PC, then I might want to record my screen as I show how to check for the latest Drivers, I want to be able to talk the user through this as I go of course.
So is this software what I am looking for? Can it do all this, or would I be better off with something else?
if Anyone has rich examples of this software doing something close I would love to see them! After all, seeing is believing.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
My 2cents. For the software training, Captivate is indeed for me personally the best app around, and I have been trying a lot (Camtasia, Smartbuilder, Viewletbuilder...).
Of course you have to record the video (that is not possible with Captivate) with a video-recorder. In CP5 importing the video (Adobe Media Encoder will be automatically used for converting if it is not flv) and working with it has become really great. You can spread the video over different slides, readjust the timings, resize, insert Text Captions on the slides with video, add Question slides, audio ...
Would recommend to go for the eLearning suite if budget allows it, because besides Captivate you will have some other great apps (Flash, Photoshop, Soundbooth, Dreamweaver, Acrobat Pro,...) and moreover very nice roundtripping to Photoshop and Soundbooth.

Adobe Captivate Newbie

Hi, I am BRAND NEW to Adobe Captivate and am really scared!! Is it best to start off with a PowerPoint presentation and record on each slide? What are your thoughts? I have been taking the Lynda.com course, but it just seems so complicated. This is a really complicated piece of software, and I have to learn how to use it. My boss won't send me to a class, because I am only a contract employee. If I don't learn it and create a class within 90 days, he won't hire me on full time. HELP!

director. how can this be done. i import the shockwave (swf)

zakir saleem ( z k r s l m)

Hi there
You said:
Fortunately it only seems to be a Firefox issue but unfortunately neither they or Adobe seem interested in fixing it.
I would ask if any of you have taken the time to visit http://www.adobe.com/go/wish and report it to Adobe?
Maybe they are unaware of the exact reason. And the more folks that report it, the more likely it is to be fixed.
Cheers... Rick
