Record audio freezes Captivate 5 on Mac 10.6

When I try to record audio to a slide, or edit audio in Captivate 5 on Mac 10.6 the program freezes. I must force quit. I was able to record audio two weeks ago. I saw a number of posts on this issue for Windows but not for Mac. Solutions?

  • Record Audio with Captivate 2 and Vista

    I'm using Vista 32-bit and I can't record audio.
    Is there any Idea, who to fix the problem?

    The fix even fixed my set up which is Captivate running on
    Vista home running on VMware Fusion running on an Intel Mac.

    The fact that you can record and playback in other programs
    has nothing to do with this little bug...

  • Recording Audio Music from inside the Mac

    If i play a song or audio in my macbook, is there any apllication that can record that same audio im playing on my mac and save it into a new archive?
    Thanks a lot!

    Soundflower is a freeware way of patching audio from running app's into another app to record it - several free/shareware recording app's available if you haven't already got one, google 'freeware os x recording'.

    Wiretap Pro or AudioHijack for more elegant but very reasonably priced solutions.

    I'm sure there are others if you google around, but the above two app's demonstrate what you're looking for.

  • Having someone else record audio in Captivate 5 presentation

    Does anyone know how I have someone else record on an captivate 5 presentation if they don't Captivate? I have created online training and I need it translated. They do not need to publish, or create the presentation - they just need to record audio. I had the functionality in Adobe Presenter and I am hoping that it exists in Captivate 5. - Please help!

    Welcome to our community
    Generally speaking, they can just watch your finished Captivate presentation and use an audio recording application such as Audacity, SoundBooth or other to record the narration. Then they supply that back to you as one or more WAV or MP3 files. You then insert those files into your Captivate projects and re-publish.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Headset not recording audio in Captivate 7

    I can't get any sound recording when using Captivate 7 on PC. Using Microsoft LifeChat LX 3000 USB headset. Works fine in all other apps. Tried 3 separate MS LX3000 headsets and external USB mic. Works fine for two other coworkers with exact same hardware setup and audio settings. Any solutions?

    Are you launching Captivate with Run As Administrator privilege?
    If one of your co-workers logs onto your PC with their user profile, does the same microphone that doesn't work for you work OK for them?

  • Record Audio in Captivate 4 for PP Slide with multiple mouse click animation

    I have a power point presentation imported into  Captivate 4.  Several of the slides have custom animation that ocurr's on mouse click. What is the best way to record the audio for these slides and have the audio sync to the right portion of the slide?

    I am afraid there is no direct way to solve your problem. You can identify the time at which the movie stops because of an on-click animation. At every location, insert a transparent caption (blank caption) and add audio to the caption.
    Thus once the movie pauses for the user to click, audio wont appear till user click on the swf. Once he does, movie timeline will move ahead and transparent caption will appear thus playing the audio file.
    Hope this helps. Do let us know if it works.

  • Recording Audio -- freezing always

    I've had LE 7 for over a year now, and nary a problem with it. LE 8 arrived in the mail yesterday. As I've seen on this forum, other users have experienced issues getting it to recognize older files. I've now gotten it to import and playback songs.
    Now I'm trying to record. Anything. Once I arm the appropriate tracks and press "record" or type "R"... nothing. The program just freezes.
    When "ctrl-click" on the icon for Logic Express on my dock at the bottom of my browser, in grey it reads "Application Not Responding." This is infuriating. Anyone else? Thoughts?
    Thanks.
    PW

    Have you added anything else new to the equation? I had the same problem after buying a new external hard drive- I opened a project that I had been working on, got a track ready, pressed record, and then Logic would freeze (and freeze BAD, force quit would not work, the only way to proceed was to hold down the power button and reboot. Reminded me of the PC days....).
    I tried a few things like unplugging my Presonus Firebox & using my MBP inputs (same problem), duplicating the scenario in LE7 (same problem), and unplugging my external HD & recording to my MBP's internal drive. Problem solved! It appeared that it was my new external HD, so I erased it and formatted it for Mac (which was all I could think of to do...). So far so good...
    I should add that this never happened with my old external HD.

  • Quicktime Freezes When Recording Audio

    Quicktime froze one time when trying to record audio, so I restarted my Mac. It still froze, so I tried repairing by using the uninstall program.
    It still froze, so I uninstalled it and re-downloaded it. It's still freezing. I'm starting to think it's something in my system files but I don't really know.
    The program freezes when I click the record button.
    I really need help because it's the only recording program that doesn't slightly slow down my audio, so I really need it.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Please, I really need help.

  • Pointing and recording audio simultaneously

    Hi,
    I create "lectures" by basically importing PowerPoint slides
    into Captivate and then recording audio.
    I would like to point (with the cursor, for example, or even
    highlight) specific words, equations or regions in the slide while
    I am recording the audio. I know I can first record audio and then
    include all types of effects (edit) later on, but that takes more
    time. Is it possible to "save" cursor movements while recording
    audio with Captivate? I do not want to use a screencasting software
    for doing that because of the larger file size it would generate.
    Thanks,

    Hi lazylecturer
    No, as far as I know it isn't possible to accomplish what you
    are wanting. Not if you simply imported the PowerPoint and went
    from there. You might try this approach if you are using Captivate
    3. Set PowerPoint up to play in a window and adjust the size to
    what you wish to see in Captivate. Then launch Captivate and record
    using the full motion option. The full motion option was improved
    in Captivate 3 so as to accommodate longer recordings.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Captivate 5 Freezes when I try to Record Audio To Slide

    Hello,
    I'm having difficulties with recording audio to slide in Captivate 5. Recording to slides, background, and object work, but when I try to record to slide, the computer appears to freeze (until I press escape and then I can select buttons again).
    I have Windows XP on my computer. I have deleted the preferences C:\Documents and Settings\name\Application Data\Adobe\Captivate, following advice on other threads, but this does not help.
    This issue just started yesterday. I was able to record to slide before.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Debbie

    Hi DebsterV,
    Did you try upgrading the system audio drivers as RodWard suggested?
    If even that does not resolve your issue, let me know so that we can have a connect session.
    Thanks,
    Vikranth.

  • Audio Recording to Slide Freezes Captivate

    I am hoping somebody can help me with this.  I am a relatively new user to Captivate so I sure that I am missing something obvious.
    I am running Captivate 5 on a Windows 7 machine and would like to record audio to a slide.  I create a Blank Slide Project and go to Audio > Record To > Slide.  Captivate freezes every time!  Please help me to see what I am missing.
    I have imported both Background and Slide audio and been able to edit it but I would like to record directly into my project.
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

    sorry I am having same issues and are getting no response

  • Freezes when I hit record (audio)

    When I have audio already on a track and hit record midway, it freezes. Strangely, I can start a new empty track and record audio from there, but if I try to cut in on a track midway with audio on it, it freezes. Using Logic 10.1.0, Mac OS 10.9.4 6 GB memory, plenty of room on disk, formatted Mac OS Extended. Using a Scarlett 18i8 interface, but it does the same thing when using Core Audio on the Mac. And no crash report will surface when I force quit. Have tried permissions repair to no avail. And tried removing all unused audio tracks from the Project Audio list, does not help.
    Anyone?

    Actually, there were not steps suggested (at least that I saw) for garageband freezing when I hit record. I read through all the links (and almost went blind) and and did a search on the site, maybe I missed it.
    If you have an answer to this probelem I would love to try any suggestions.
    Thanks

  • Can I record audio on an iPad direct from a mac via line out

    I use the noteability app alot, recording audio at a live lecture works great.  However, due to a bug you can not add an audio file directly into your notes (at the moment), you must record them.
    I have a bunch of podcasts that I would like to add to my notes.  I know I could play them from my mac and record audio through the ipads mic but what I hoped  to do was connect a male to male cable between the line out of my mac into my ipad, playing the audio without interferance.  This didn't work
    Does anyone know if there is a similar way to do this or something I could have done wrong. 
    Thanks

    yeah - you can do it, but you need an adapter.  The earphone jack on a pad is a special jack with stereo headphone uot put and a seperate mic in channel.  The adapters i have seen are usually built to accomodate a standard 1/4 in - into the pad, like the one in the attached link.  In theory, you could use the lineout on the mac, to a 1/4 in male - then into this adapter to get it back into the pad.   Somebody probably makes the cable you need with the 1/4 shift, but I couldn't find one.
    Options - in you notes, insted of copying the file, put a link to the podcast

    Thanks a lot!

    Not sure what you mean. If you're talking about playing a cd, then import it in itunes. You can choose the format (mp3, aac, aiff, etc) in preferences/advanced under the import tab.
    If you're talking about actually making music, then Garage Band is the program you have to look at.
    cheers
