Maximum Number of Slides?

Hello.
I'm currently working in both flash and captivate and will be
building projects that are close and sometimes over a 100 slides. I
know there can be loading issues when the file size gets too big.
What is the best strategy to deal with this issue. I noticed that
captivate creates on swf file for the content of a project. Is
there a maximum file size (or number of slides) I need to keep an
eye out for when building training? Will I need to create separate
projects in captivate for each module I build in a course. Your
help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi brookevaughn and welcome to our community
As with anything, the true answer is "it depends". For
example, I've seen users report that they regularly produce
Captivate projects that consist of 120 or so slides and have no
issues. Then again, the flip side of that is that I've seen users
report nothing but trouble from a project consisting of only 30
slides.
I believe the automotive industry refers to this as "your
mileage may vary".
I think this varies because Captivate is so darn flexible
when it comes to what it allows you to record. For example, if you
record at perhaps a resolution of 640 x 480, you are a lot more
likely to be successful with longer projects than you would be if
recording at perhaps 1024 x 768. All that size translates to more
data to manipulate.
I typically recommend anywhere between 50-65 slides as a
"rule of thumb" for an upper limit.
Cheers... Rick

  • What is the maximum number of slides in a composition widget?

    I was putting together a composition widget and it appears it stops at 12.  Is this right?  Is there a way or another widget similar that allows more?

    Hi
    To confirm there's no such limit on number of slides. You may add as many as you want. For example : Home I have added 18 slides you may add more as per your requirement.

  • Maximum number of slides to fit music?

    After album for slideshow is created, title given, is there a limit on the number of pictures that will play in a slideshow. I have found that, i.e., if I have 62 photos, it would not sync with the music that I was trying to "fit" with the slideshow. What am I doing wrong? I picked a 54-minute song but the first slide just sat there. My only remedy was to split the show into two.

    Oops - hadn't updated our computers in a while. G5 has been replaced with a iMac Snow Leopard with newest software.

  • In C4: What determines the max number of slide one can successfully publish?

    Using C4.
    I am required by policy to use an original PowerPoint file. The total number of slide equals 72 (file size 38,201 KB when completed). The internal customer wants a "kicky" presentation based on her slides, so I must use some of the Captivate tools (e.g. zoom area, highlight box -- about the limit of my skills). And there must be spoken narration, not the text to speech feature. Total time for the 72 slides is 22.5 minutes when all is done. When published the narration is good, but the "kicky" part fails. Specifically some highlight boxes do not appear on many slides.
    I deleted the table-of-contents feature. The most unusual tools that I'm using are the certificate widget, and a page turning widget.
    I tried breaking the presentation into two parts. Part 1 was 58 slides and I experienced the same behavior. I've not tried part two yet.
    In the past, I practiced, on my computer, with the aggregator. Is this the best route? We have no experience hosting an aggregator project on our server. Are there any special concerns about doing so? (I'm not the person who does this. He is out of the office at this time). Would daisy-chaining be a better route? (if so, what is the best source for instruction to do this?)

    Again, I did not see the elephant in the room. I neglected to notice a default setting. Once corrected, everything works. My bad.
    But, I would still like to know what determines the maximum number of slides on can successfully publish without Aggregator or daisy-chaining.

  • Maximum number of photos allowed in an i photo6 slide show???

    What is the maximum number of photos allowed in an i photo 6 slide show???
    In a previous version, it was 99, I believe. I can't find the answer in any documentation.
    g-5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    photo princess:
    There never was a limit to the number of slides in an iPhoto slideshow. That 99 limit was for slideshow created in iDVD from imported stills. iDVD can not have more than 99 slides in any one slideshow that's created entirely in iDVD but at 99 the chapter number of the next slide (each slide is considered a chapter) reverts back to 1. It's a DVD standard issue, not an iDVD thing.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Illustrator won't run: "unable to set maximum number of files to be opened"

    I have an intel macbook pro (core duo with 2GB ram) and a copy of purchased adobe creative suite 2. Other applications in the suite like photoshop, acrobat, etc can run on my mac without any problem. But when I try to run illustrator, it just shows an error message "Unable to set maximum number of files to be opened" and quits. I also installed a trial version of illustrator cs3 and got the same problem. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    HI,
    How to find maximum number of users we can assign for Hyperion Planning.i.e., how to find license limit in hyperion planning 11.1.2.1.
    In Essbase propreties, the system is showing maximum planning users could be 65535.
    what would be the number for concurrent scenario?
    Thanks

    Edited by: Giriprasad on Jun 18, 2012 2:18 AM

    The number of users would be based on your license agreement with Oracle, the system is not aware of your license agreement so it is up to you to stick to it.

  • How to set up the maximum number of messages on a queue programmatically

    Hi,
    I am using IMQ 3.5 to implement a message layer for one of my projects. I created a "Job Status Queue", which receives job status report from a java application every minute. But I just want to keep the most current status report instead of all the job running history. How can I restrict the maximum number of messages to 1 programmatically?
    Any suggestion or help will be appreciated.
    Xiaoyun Tang

    You can't limit the destination size programmatically, but you can do it administratively and associate a behavior to occur when the limit is reached. In your case it sounds like you want a queue, 1 message deep, and to discard the oldest message when the queue is full. When you create the physical queue on the broker you can specify these attributes (you can also update them on an existing queue). For example:
    imqcmd create dst -t q -n StatusQ -o maxNumMsgs=1 -o limitBehavior=REMOVE_OLDESTFor more information see Chapter 6 of the Message Queue Administration Guide. In particular the "Managing Destinations" section:

    I am trying to setup iCloud account and when I login I see a popup. The Maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone. Pls, help me fix it. What other accounts? Thanks

    Then you'll have to use another iOS device or Mac running OS X Lion or higher to create a new account for you to use on your phone.  If you don't have one, perhaps a friend would allow you to create and account on their device (note: this will use one of their three maximum accounts).  To do this, they would need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which will delete the account from their device but not from iCloud), then allow you to sign back in with your ID to create the new account.  Then tap Delete Account to delete the new account from their device, and finally, sign back in with their iCloud ID to restore their iCloud account to their device.  Then you can sign in with your ID on your phone in Settings>iCloud and use the new account.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

    I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account? I have one for myself, one for my family and one for my work. I had all three on my iphone and then I deleted my work. I wanted to get my own person @me.com account. It wouldn't let me create it from my iphone, so I created it from my Macbook Pro. I am trying to add it to my iphone, but it keeps giving me that error. If there is a way I can deactivate my work one so I can use my @me.com personal account?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.
    You should however be able to add existing accounts to your device, are you sure you aren't trying to create on rather than simply use an existing one.

  • Maximum number of photos that can be imported into an iPhoto library?

    1. Does iPhoto have a maximum number of files or photos that it can handle in a single library?
    I have a lot of photos (20GB) that have not yet been imported into an iPhoto Library. I am going to set up a new library with the iPhoto Library Manager (iPLM), but am wondering if there is a maximum number of files that can be handled in a single library?
    2. Also, I don't think I want to import these, since that would create an iPhoto library as large as the source files. Are there any problems if I set up the preferences so that this library will not have the graphics imported into it?
    3. With iPLM, can you have different sets of preferences for each library?
    Thank you for any advice or suggestions.

    1. Does iPhoto have a maximum number of files or photos that it can handle in a single library?
    Apple advertises that iPhoto will handle 250,000 photos - I doubt that anyone has come close to that (or will)
    I have 19,278 in 237 events - 22 GB - on a G5 iMac and it is snappy with no issues

    If you want those should be fine in one library
    2. Also, I don't think I want to import these, since that would create an iPhoto library as large as the source files. Are there any problems if I set up the preferences so that this library will not have the graphics imported into it?
    It is a choice - if you do NOT import them then you will be responsible for all future management - deleting, etc. Moving to a different location or computer is much more difficult if you reference your photos instead of importing them.
    Many people import them, burn the original source photos to CD or DVD and delete them from their disk letting iPhoto manage them
    3. With iPLM, can you have different sets of preferences for each library?
    I'm not sure but I do not think so

    Please give your valuable suggestions as soon as possible.
    Thanks in Advance

    I didn’t find any configuration you can set to increase the number. I think it is related UI. The number is designed programmatically.
