Re: Audio and other Bugs in 2.0 - are they fixed in 3.0?

I've had some issues with Captivate, v1 and 2, but nowhere
near the
degree to what you've described. My sympathies!
It sounds like your CP files were corrupted somehow with that
extent of
problems. Are your project files on a network location? If
so, move them
all local! I develop from a network drive a lot but if
problems ever
start popping up, the first thing I do is move the source to
my local drive.
If I continue having odd problems, I create new Captivate
files by either,
1) opening the current project, copy all slides, close the
project,
create a new project, and paste.
2) create a new project and Import all the (relevant) slides
from the
previous version of the file.
Either of those processes almost always clear up any
anomalous behavior,
except maybe file size bloat...
To deal with file size bloat alone, I've found doing a Save
As..., then
a Save As... again often helps reduce file sizes. How weird
is that...
Not having used CP3 yet, I don't know if any of these issues
have been
addressed. I've found CP2 to open/save/close projects a LOT
quicker than
CP1. I think in your case, if your files are really 1gb, that
can
directly explain the 15 minute opening process.

  • Audio and other Bugs in 2.0 - are they fixed in 3.0?

    I just completed creating an e-learning course using
    Captivate 2.0 that used quite a lot of graphics and video. The
    numbers of bugs I experienced when publishing to Flash in 2.0 were
    so substantial that the delivery date had to be delayed almost two
    months, much to the unhappiness of the client. I'll list the most
    frustrating problems and hopefully someone can tell me if these
    issues were fixed in 3.0. It's difficult for me to justify an
    upgrade if I'm going to run into the same horrible problems.
    I will start out by stating that I keep my project files
    under 20 slides and all the slides have audio. The slides are 800 x
    500 and none of the animations/video I'm using are more than 20
    secs long. I'm running Captivate 2.0 on a Dell laptop with an Intel
    Core 2 Duo, running Windows XP (with all the updates) and with 1 GB
    of RAM. I've upped my Virtual Memory to 5 GB. My machine meets all
    the specifications listed for Captivate 2.0, but I suspect that one
    really needs a much faster machine with a lot more memory to work
    at anything other than a snail's pace. I also make sure that no
    unused graphics or animations are left in a project's library and I
    defrag my hard drive at least once a day (if I don't Captivate
    crashes everytime I try and open or save a file).
    Problems:
    - It takes up to 15 minutes to open or close a file. It
    doesn't matter how big the file is. And the more files I open and
    close in Captivate in any session, the slower my machine gets and I
    evenutally have to restart it. It also takes 10-15 minutes to save
    some of my project files, whose sizes have ballooned for no reason
    (see below). If Captivate crashes during the save or even right
    after a file is saved, the file is corrupted and cannot be opened.
    I've had to redo work two or three times because of this problem.
    - A project file with 10 multiple choice quiz questions and
    two other simple slides (and only one brief audio file) is over 1
    GB in size. I can't have more than 10 quiz questions because the
    file sizes get so large that the program crashes before I can save
    the file. I also have a number of 3-slide projects with graphics,
    no animations, and some audio that are over 1 GB in size. But then
    I have 20-slide project files with a lot of video and graphics and
    audio that never go above 200 MB. In fact, all my project file file
    sizes seem enormous for no good reason. And it's not from orphan
    files in the Library. It's going to take like 10 DVDs to turn over
    all my project files (about 40 project files - all under 20 slides
    each) to the client. It's ridiculous!
    - If I import audio as a WAV file and then publish the
    project to Flash, the audio either moves to different slides or one
    audio file gets repeated in all the slides. The only way to fix
    this is to convert all the .WAV files to .MP3 files (but at a very
    low bit rate), delete all the old WAV files from the project, and
    replace them with the MP3 files. Using a WAV file always leads to
    major audio scrambling when I publish to Flash.
    - If I use a .MP3 audio file with a higher bit rate, when I
    publish to Flash, the audio is slowed down by about 50%.
    - Graphics fail to show up in the .SWF file after a publish
    to Flash. This is entirely random and different graphics are
    affected each publish, so I never know what the published file will
    look like.The only way to fix this is to go back to the Project
    file, double click on the graphic and make a change to one of the
    options, save the change, reopen the graphic and change the option
    back to the one you started with. Then cross your fingers that
    another graphic won't vanish during the Publish process.
    - Objects that I have fading in and out on the timeline work
    perfectly in the project file, but when they are published as Flash
    output, the timings are all off by up to 15 seconds. This happens
    on a couple of slides and I can find no explanation or way to fix
    this. And it's completely random. One publish may have the timings
    out of whack and the next one has the timings correct.
    - Adding any animation to a project file causes all drop-down
    menus to stop functioning. I see from other posts that I just need
    to click on an object in the Library. Wish I had known about that
    sooner. I ended up restarting Captivate a lot.
    - After closing Captivate, it takes 15 minutes or more before
    my machine works at anything like it's normal speed. If I try to
    shut down my machine right after closing Captivate, I get an error
    message telling me Captivate is still running. It appears that
    Captivate does not release memory after it is closed. I have to
    restart my machine everytime I close Captivate just so I can
    continue working in other applications normally.
    These are just the major problems which caused the most
    headaches and delays. Most of it seems to be the VERY buggy publish
    to Flash option and some problems with releasing memory.
    I know a lot of other people have experienced these problems,
    as I've read about them in other posts. Has Capitvate 3 fixed any
    of these issues? There is no way I'd ever attempt another
    e-learining project with Captivate 2. This one about killed me.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Thanks to everyone who has responded and tried to help.
    Unfortunately, none of suggestions have worked.
    Here's the update:
    - All my files are local, so the business about working on
    network drives is not applicable.
    - I tried the Save As option to try and decrease my huge file
    sizes as suggested by a couple of people. I did a Save As to
    another file name, then deleted the original file and did another
    Save As from the renamed file back to the original file name. My
    file sizes INCREASED each time I saved. I now have a 12 slide
    projects file with multiple choice quiz questions, no video,
    minimal graphics and audio that tops out over 1.1 GB.
    - I can't copy slides from one file to a new file because the
    file I want to copy slides from is so large that Captivate crashes
    everytime I try to Import slides from another project.
    - No one has mentioned anything about all the bizarre, random
    things that happen to graphics and audio when you publish to Flash.
    This is by far the most frustrating aspects of working with
    Captivate 2.0 - there is no telling what will turn up in your .SWF
    file and whether the audio will be on the correct slide. I've seen
    several posts about the problems using WAV files for audio or about
    MP3 files being slowed down in the SWF files but no one can say if
    these problems have been fixed in 3.0. Likewise the disappearing
    graphics and the inexplicable timeline delays when publishing from
    my Project file to an SWF file. And now a new one has popped up: in
    the SWF file, the screen size suddenly gets smaller on several
    slides, then goes back to normal!
    - It sounds like I need a lot more memory and faster machine
    (despite Adobe stating that my machine should be adequate to use
    Captivate) to deal with the slow performance, constant crashing,
    and frequent corrupted files. But this can't possibly explain the
    extreme file bloat and all the Publish errors when creating SWF
    files.
    At this point there's no way I can upgrade to 3.0 because of
    all the problems with 2.0. I can't make a justification to my boss
    to spend more money on a software program that (from his
    perspective and mine) does not work as advertised and has impacted
    this project so dramatically.
    It sounds like I'm the only Captivate user who is
    experiencing these difficulties, which is really perplexing and
    bizarre. Perhaps Captivate and Dell laptops are not compatible? I
    sure do wish that Captivate had a Mac version. At least there
    wouldn't be the usual Windows software excuse of "it must be your
    machine."
    Sigh... I sure did want to like Captivate, but everytime I
    open the program I get the hebbie jebbies, expecting some new
    disaster to befall me.

  • My itunes isnt burning discs. some of the songs are AAC audio and others are MPEG??

    my itunes isnt buring discs. some of the songs say they are AAC audio and others say MPEG audio. i dont know if that has anything to do with why its not burning but i dont know what else could be wrong

    If you're burning an audio CD, it shouldn't matter. If you want to burn an MP3 CD, then all the tracks must be in MP3 format. iTunes will not convert them on the fly.
    Regards.

  • In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to.  Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone.  Where are they?  I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

    In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to.  Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone.  Where are they?  I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

    The application auto-saves your input when you close the document.  If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible).  Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
    Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

  • Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook- Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture- are they gone?

    I Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook… Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture… are they gone?Becuase they offer to delete what was imported, so to save space i did... Is there anything I can do to restore the picture?

    Do your videos play in QuickTime Playerwhen you reveal one of them in the Finder with "File > Reveal > Original"? Try to open the revealed movie in QuickTime and see if it plays.
    Check the format of the movie. You can see it in the Inspector in QuickTime Player from the "WIndow" menu: Window > Show Inspector.
    iPhoto does not support all movie formats and codecs that QuickTime player can play, and not all frame rates.
    See: Using AVCHD video with iPhoto '11
    If the movie does not play in QuickTime Player either, install QuickTime 7 for more codecs.

  • Audio (and other) problems noted with Keynote version 4.0.1

    Since installing Keynote 4 and the 4.0.1 update, I have noted the following situations and/or problems:
    1) When doing a "save-as" the filename is appended with the suffix ".key" but when I subsequently "save" this file, the suffix disappears. The file seems to open and operate OK nonetheless, but this puzzles and somewhat concerns me that someday Keynote may not recognize the file. This happens whenever I "save" a slideshow after I have made any changes to it.
    2) When playing back a "soundtrack," the audio "glitches" frequently at slide transitions: this occurs repeatedly on my G5 desktop system but not on my MacBook Pro-17. The "glitches" always seem to occur at the same places in the track - which, of course, is also at the same slide transitions. (This problem has spawned several similar questions and threads in this forum.)
    3) Related to #2 above, the "glitches" also interrupt or corrupt the "recording" of that soundtrack, so that the synchronization is off when the slideshow is played back.
    4) If I want to have an audio track play under a series of slides, the only way I have found to accomplish this is to create a separate slideshow with the audio track running as a "soundtrack" and "record" the Builds and Transitions in sync with the audio. If I want to incorporate several of these shows together, I can create a "master" slideshow and Hyperlink each segment to the next. HOWEVER...
    5) When I "record" a "soundtrack" and "synchronize" the Builds and Transitions within the slideshow, everything plays back properly in sync ONLY when the slideshow is played as a stand-alone presentation (i.e. a cold start from the desktop). If I initiate playback of the slideshow via a Hyperlink from another presentation, the soundtrack plays but NONE of the synchronization works at all.
    6) The only way I have found to have an audio track "fade-in" or "fade-out" is to use off-line editing software to record these fades prior to importing the tracks into Keynote. The "Start Audio" Build function is simply a hard "cut" in, and the end of the track is a hard "cut" out.
    These problems are consistent and repeatable facts. Whether they are "bugs" in the software or "design shortcomings" is uncertain. Nonethtless ...
    At the risk of offending the moderators of this forum, I feel compelled to comment that these problems render the audio operations of Keynote less than satisfactory and should be addressed as soon as possible with another update to this visually stunning but audio-challenged application.

    Well Ron S, I re-confirmed why I prefer not to look to tech support for support.
    It seems to me that support's main function is to deflect any critical comments and push the blame back to the user.
    Frankly, I have better things to do with my time and money than try to help a multi-billion dollar enterprise learn about itself.
    So, for the benefit of you and the nearly 400 who have followed this thread, I offer you my latest and probably last attempt to have Apple acknowledge in some small way that "Houston, we have a problem".
    I expect this reply will result in this thread being yanked as well, since I'm expressing negative thoughts about Apple's product and wishing they would do better, which is a non-technical gasp of utter frustration and disappointment. Note that "product" is singular, defining Keynote. My other Apple products serve me loyally and superbly, which is why my huge disappointment with Keynote.
    So here is my correspondence with Tech Support. I've removed names except mine.
    I think it speaks for itself. They have notes from my conversations with them that I have current Apple computers, including a MacBookPro, not an old PowerBook, nevertheless, they have told me that the problem is mine because the fabulous hyper-performing Keynote software is choking my poor old machine (paraphrased muchly).:
    Hi (support),
    That's disappointing news, especially since this test was done on 3 machines: an old G4 400, a 2.0G Dual G5 and an Intel core duo MacBookPro which yielded identical results.
    It is not a hardware issue.
    I do not accept a brush-off that it is my hardware that is causing Keynote to be problematic.
    I will assume that Apple is not interested in addressing these issues in public and that Keynote is substandard software that is in need of re-authoring.
    Sorry to be so blunt, but Apple has set this tone with Keynote, and used its considerable reputation as a leading a/v technology innovator to imply that Keynote will deliver the excellence we Mac users have come to expect.
    I have been a loyal mac user since the SE series and have enjoyed success with the machines and software offered by Apple, and depend on them for my livelihood. I'm currently using FC Studio6 and know that Apple is capable of maintaining its high standards.
    However, Keynote fails to do that, instead behaving like a product that was invented in a teenager's basement and is in beta. I realize that it's not designed as a FCP level product, but it fails at the basic tasks that you advertise it will complete.
    A version 4 product should work as advertised. Keynote certainly does not.
    I'm deeply saddened that Apple seems to have become an iPod entertainment company, interested mainly in profits from entertainment rather than serious useful technology.
    On 2007-Oct-19, at 10:14 AM, (tech support) wrote:
    Hello Sir,
    Unfortunately, this does look like it's mostly a case of some of the new Keynote features slowing down the performance on the PowerBook.
    At this point, there isn't much else we can do in the way of troubleshooting.
    If you are not satisfied with the performance on the PowerBook, using the previous version of Keynote is probably his best option at this point.
    We will continue to research this issue, but at this point it's unlikely I'll be able to find additional suggestions for improving performance, as it looks like it is is reproducible and limited to older models.

    Hi (support),
    Thanks for your recent followup calls. I'm directing a video shoot so am a bit preoccupied.
    Here are the tests I mentioned.
    These are as simple as it gets, and I think highlights the synchronization problem with Keynote.
    Test 1 is straightforward, and demonstrates that a single unedited recorded audio track will maintain mouse click synchronization.
    Test 2 is the same file, but with audio modifications applied to each slide in succession.
    This demonstrates a dramatic synchronization slippage.
    The visuals occur before the click (and audio) markers. Keynote seems to be create delay in audio at each "record and replace" point. This accumulates as the audio is revised in successive slides.
    These tests demonstrate that there is a fundamental flaw in how Keynote handles audio in its most basic application.
    This does not address the slim toolset available, such as lack of insert capability and other basic audio tools, which is a separate design issue, and I suppose subject to "request for enhancement" feedback.
    I've reluctantly abandoned Keynote for my project work at present until these basic issues are addressed and it can be demonstrated that Keynote can successfully execute its feature set.

  • Ios8 copy and paste / Digital AV Cable / internet dropping and other bugs!

    hello -
    so like everyone else else there is a number of bugs I am running into. so here's my list- Yes I've tried to restore, so I am praying that the ios8 update will contain these fixes:
    - copy and paste doesn't work between applications- but it's sporadic! (issue originally found when copying from a webpage to an email, then into notes from another webpage)
    - my Apple lighting to digital AV cable doesn't "read/transfer" to the TV
    - internet randomly drops for a few seconds to minutes for no apparent reason the it being an iPhone 6
    - Facebook and other internet heavy apps like Associated Press are extremely lagging or give me an error unable to connect to server
    - randomly freezes while taking pictures or taking notes- it won't even let me shut down
    - voicemail set up doesn't  work
    I am sure there are more bugs but haven't seen them or I've forgotten about them! If anyone else has these problems please check the box that you do have the same issue. Also any known resolutions would be appreciated!
    With Joy,
    Christina

  • Aperture cannot import anything from iPhoto and other bugs!!

    Aperture is buggy. Recently, I just updated Mac OS X to 10.4.5 and also updated iLife 06. Now I cannot import anything from iPhoto. I tried import images from iphoto or import iphoto library, both not working. I can import images from other directories but jut could not see anything display under iphoto library directory. Trying to use import iphoto library, click choose and then nothing happens.
    If you create a smart web gallery, all photos will be automatically duplicated.

    I used Pacifist.app to find iPhoto in the iLife '06 install package and then installed the app in the default location replacing the bundle that was there.
    the normal method gave me an install error.
    Thank you to the person who discovered this.
    I was going nuts trying. I have 6 iphoto libraries with 30,000 photos in total and some would import fine and others would not. couldn't tell the difference between them and had forgotten the update. just got a new iMac intel and wasn't paying attention. Causality

  • How can I combine the audio and video files from youtube downloads when they don't automatically combine?

    I'm using YouTube Video and Audio Downloader. Sometimes the audio and video files combine automatically, sometimes they don't - remaining as separate " DASH - .m4a and DASH - .mp4 ". It used to be that when this would happen I could open up a "ffmpeg" window which would allow me to "manually" convert them to a combined .mp4 file. It was a "drag and drop" type of interface. For some reason I can no longer access that ffmpeg combining function. I tried clicking on ffmpeg.exe. I tried re-downloading ffmpeg several times, both from the Downloader options tab and from the ffmpeg website.
    Thanks for your help.

    Sounds like a question for the developer of the video download add-ons that you have installed.

  • No, it's NOT A ZOOM.... 8520 and other Blackberrys DO NOT ZOOM - do they?

    Mine is an 8520.
    I've had this problem where if I zoom in at all, I don't get a zoomed photo, I get a cropped photo of the original picture.
    This isn't zoom - it is cropping.
    So I have seen THREE other BBs: one is an 8520, one is a Bold and one is a slider BB.  But they all do the same thing - not zooming, but cropping.
    Even the guy in the shop couldn't believe his eyes that his expensive phone when zooming, back the kb of the file LESS.  He said "it would be the same, same pixels, just closer to the object".
    So - research: can anyone who reads this please use their Blackberry, take a photo, and Send by Email: make a note of the pixel size (or check properties.  Then do it again, but zoomed ALL THE WAY IN.
    Report back to this post, your model, and the two file sizes.  If they are THE SAME, then you do not have the problem.  If they differ, you have a FAULT, and Blackberry's term "zoom" is wholely inaccurate.
    Please let me know, any of you.  Thanks in advance.

        Let's get to the bottom of this staum607. Do you share your Apple ID with anyone else? Are these problems restricted to iPhone to iPhone calls? If neither applies, please go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings only. Then, test calls again.

  • Nokia E90 and Linux... how compatible are they?

    I am hoping to soon upgrade my current mobile phone (Nokia 6822) and separate PDA (a Palm Tungsten T3) to a Nokia E90. However, I have reservations...
    Does anyone have any knowledge or experience about how the Nokia E90 syncs with Linux Ubuntu? I know it doesn't come "out the box" with Linux support, unfortunately, but what about after-market solutions and work-arounds?
    I don't mind if I sync through a USB cable or Bluetooth, as long as it works. (I really want to avoid running WINE or something similar though...)
    Any thoughts and suggestions appreciated...!
    (And the day Nokia issues Linux support I, for one, will be a happy bunny!)

    Before you get your E90 you MUST think about support , I got 2 BRAND NEW and I have been a NOKIA costumer for more than 10 years (yes , I own 2 communicators of each model ever built and A LOT of accessories and other models as well...) The paint job started peeling off in about 2 weeks , wrote NOT COMPLAINING but looking for any advise , they replied that there is no support for E90 in Taiwan... but they still working good and I decided to cover them with plastic skin , later on they released an "upgrade" that does NOTHING and I did not check asuming that NOKIA of course will do things always thinking in functionality... to make it short ... 2000USD turned into garbage ...
    After the upgrade none of them would recognize the backups I LOST ALL MY CONTACTS LITERALLY JOBLESS!!!!!!!!!!!
    I wrote to "costumer care" that really doesn't care and they tried to convince me that a hardware reset will fix it , of course using NOKIAs for more than 10 years I KNOW THIS BUT IT JUST DOESNT WORKED.
    So finally they say that I had to ship my units to Finland for them to check...
     THEY DID NOT NEED MY PHONES TO BE SHIPPED TO FINLAND TO BE SPOILED RIGHT?
    THEY SPOILED ONLINE , SO SAME AS THE "UPGRADE" WAS SENT , I SEE NO REASON TO SEND THEM BECAUSE A BIT OF LOGIC THEY JUST NEED TO RELEASE THE DOWNGRADE ...
    After the OS "Upgrade"
    -Not recognizing backups
    -Browser not working or poorly performing and phone OVERHEATS to the point of hurt your hand
    -takes about 22 minutes to reboot
    -A brand new NOKIA battery will last for about 4 hours if you don't use the device (20 minutes in use)
    -It turns EXTREMELY SLOW
    -Battery meter shows full everytime , but after reboot it shows empty.
    So ... just for you to know and consider , I do not know the new communicator N** might be good  but for now I just don't feel like risking my money on them , and due to this I am probably getting another two smartphones from a brand that AT LEAST CARE A BIT FOR THE COSTUMER.
    Wrote this because someone said there is no UBUNTU support ... the truth is that there is no support at all.
    Sorry to step on your excitement about the E90 
    You can have the one that I still have if you want.

  • Nokia 701 menu button not working and other bugs

    I have a "brand new" 701 with 111.020.0307 that won't update to 111.030.0609 because I'm in Italy .
    Now I have a really annoying bug: the menu key, sometimes, stops working and won't bring up the menu if pressed briefly, and won't bring up the task list either (when pressed long).
    Anyone experiencing this bug? The only way I found to make it work again is turn off and on again my phone... And the task list can't be found in menus, AFAIK. I could do that with my old 5800XM...
    I bought my phone ONE WEEK ago... I really wouldn't like to format/reinstall already! Ideas?

    soft reset may solve it. Look in settings and phone management.
    Dont have to do a hard reset first. After soft reset, try reinstall the latest firmware through nokia suite if soft reset didnt solve your problem..
    I have 701 and I am impressed overall with the device. Actually... I am very pleased with it.
