Text Caption Timing Options Changing after an Edit

I am trying to highlight a matrix in four seperate slides. I
made my text caption box and highlight box on one slide and copied
and pasted for the next three. When I went in to edit the text in
the 3 copied captions, the timing options changed on me. For
example, on one I set the timing to 10 seconds and when I tested I
realized it was showing for only about 3. I have no idea why this
changed. I found an old post from someone and the suggestion was to
uncheck some "calculate timing" box. I am using Captivate 3 and
have found no such box to uncheck. Any help would be wonderful!
Thanks,
Kim

Hi Kim and welcome to our community
Click the Project menu and see if you have a check mark
beside the option "Calculate Caption Timing". I'm guessing you do.
DE-select it and the timing should be left alone.
Cheers... Rick

How do I stop my original photo from changing after I edit then save it in Raw 7

How do I stop my original image from changing after I save the edited version in Camera Raw 7. I want to be able to keep the original intact and
also have the edited version. Also, if I want to work the new edited version in the future I would want to also keep that old version.
Thanks for your help

Thanks for this great solution NoelHave a great day and weekend

Text Caption Box Option

For some reason, Adobe 5 is not giving me the option to change the text caption box to transparent.
Is there any way i can change that in settings? I have already gone throught all the setting options and could not find that option anywhere

Hello, welcome to the Captivate forums,
Do you not have this option in the Dropdown list of the General accordion of the Text Caption Properties panel?

PE9 scanning options change after installed new printer

Operating Windows 7 64bit, Epson Perfection 1650 scanner. I have PE9, and after I installed a new Epson printer, my scanning options changed, I no longer have the Twain option, and the scanning window that appears is the one that is for the new printer. I have the option to choose my old Epson 1650 scanner, but it still has the new scanner window, which I don't like, it consistantly scans the entire flatbed even though I only have a small photo on it, and it will not save my settings nor allow me to scan multiple images. Any suggestions for me.

Print options changed after loading Photoshop 7 on Vista

I loaded Photoshop 7 on my Vista Premium machine and now I do not have all of the print size options that were listed on XP. I need these options to print photos, cards, etc. for my business. Any help would be appreciated.

It is a problem with Vista rather than Photoshop, I had the same problem but it is OK now with CS4. I got around it by changing the printer settings in Windows Control Panel before printing with PS then checking the settings were OK after clicking print. It's a nuisance when you have 2 printers that can use a lot of different size and type of paper.

ERROR: RFx Time always Changing after save edit

Hi Expert,
I'am using SRM 7 and ECC 6, and use extended classic scenario.
When I try to check the time after edit RFx (Submission Deadline,
Opening Date and Technical RFx Response Opening Date), its always change it self and different with our edit before.
I don't know why it washappen.
Need your response...
Thanks and Regards,

Check if you have active implementation of BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI which changes the time fields for your RFx (check BBP_PD_BID method).
If there is no time specific logic in your BADI implementation mentioned above, you might need to apply some notes:
Note 1469471 - Submission deadline of RFx gets changed with Timezones (this one is for SRM 701, but I believe it also applies to SRM 7 release. You could create an OSS to SAP for them to extend the validity for this note.)
Note 1559880 - The RFx "End Date" is not displayed in the bidder time zone
Note 1573014 - Submission Deadline timezone of RFX converted to UTC
Note 1548529 - End date gets changed when follow on document is changed

Text caption to disapear when press play

I have a video fil on the slide, we want a text box/caption to tell the user press play button(on video) to start it and the text caption fade out when U have pressed play, not automatic fade in and fade out. Is that possible?

Hello,
Have a couple of questions:
Which version of Captivate do you use?
Is this slide video, or an inserted FLV with its default playbar? From your description I suspect it is an inserted FLV
Has the text caption to disappear completely after fading?
It is possible to apply an effect (like fading out - it will be AlphaFromTo) by advanced action in Captivate 5/5.5. But the action has to be triggered by an interactive object (button, click box) on the slide, and you cannot set the duration of the effect which is really annoying. I could find a workaround by creating a custom effect with the appropriate duration.
Something similar, but less cumbersome is to use an Exit effect, FadedZoomOut. Then you'll not have to bother about the duration at all. This was my work flow:
created a click box and put it on the same location as the play button of the play bar (FLV), but under the FLV on the Timeline (it will still be active, but if you put it on top, the play button will not be active)
created an advanced action with one statement:Apply Effect Text_Caption_1 FadedZoomOut (you can use the ellipsis eventually to have the Initial and Final scale set to the same amount, so that there is no zooming only fading)
attach this advanced action to the click box
Just crossing my fingers that you have version 5/5.5

Text Caption appears in Edit Mode but not in Preview Project or Web Browser

I'm using Cp4 and have downloaded Adobe Flash 10 Active X, it's ver 10.1.82.76. I've added a simple text caption with these options:
Timing Display: Rest of slide
Appear after: 2.0 seconds
Transition effect: Fade in only
In: .5 seconds
And Visible is checked
I also have a simple line that I drew with the draw line tool and included an arrow on the end of it.
Everything on the screen works including the click box, the animated text and the failure caption. For some reason the text caption and the arrow are not appearing except in Edit Mode. In Preview Project, they disapper but the click box, failure caption and animated text work fine.
I've rebooted, copied this screen into a new instance of Cp4, re-created these objects on a freshly recorded screen, chosen Order: Bring to Front, created a brand new screen completely from scratch and downloaded the Flash 10 Active X version mentioned above.
They funny thing is, is that the text caption and arrow works fine on other screens in the project. I have 76 screens total.
I'm running Windows XP.
Any suggestions?

Hi there
Can you post a screen capture of what your Timeline looks like?
Odds are your Click Box is pausing in a weird place.

Text Caption options not applied

Hi,
I'm trying to add a text caption with a transparent style.
however when I try to modify font, font size, or color no change is
being applied. If I switch to the Adobe Blue caption style I can
modify color, but not font size. Any idea why this is
happening?

Hi there
I happened across a weird issue just last night that was resolved by choosing a different ActionScript version. I'm wondering if you can try this to see if there is a change in behavior.
Click Edit > Preferences > Project > Publish Settings and whatever it's set to AS2 or AS3, try the other option and see if it changes your outcome.
Cheers... Rick

[Solved] Resolution/Text size changed after installing Catalyst

I just installed the proprietary catalyst driver from the unofficial repositories and followed the wiki to successfully install the driver, however upon reboot, the text size(within all the terminals) appears to be twice the size of the regular size.
Here is my xorg.conf file that was generated by doing 'aticonfig --initial'
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection
Section "Module"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
I tried setting my default resolution by adding the line
Modes "1920x1080"
so the xorg.conf file looked like this
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection
Section "Module"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1080"
EndSubSection
EndSection
After a reboot, the size was still the same.
I am not sure what else could have changed the resolution/text size of the terminals.

I read the xorg wiki and I set the display size and rebooted but its the same still.

What is the native resolution of your display? What bootloader are you using?
I tried setting the kernel params of video to my native resolution. My native resolution is 1920x1080@144 and I'm using GNU Grub as a boot loader.

Sorry about that, I'm not sure what to refer to it as. Its the default terminal that shows up when you log on without using any graphics or any of that.
cedeel wrote:If you're going to be using the proprietary driver, you won't be able to use KMS as others have said.
That means that your TTY will be a lower resolutioon. So if you need your TTYs at native resolution, the best thing to do would probably be to use the open drivers.
I don't think think the open drivers support for 3d acceleration on the newer graphics card are as good as the proprietary drivers. Also, I do not need to have native resolution on my TTY's but it would be a major convenience to have it display at native resolution.

Text caption changes font/colour/size

Hi
The Recording Defaults for the Text Caption in the prferences has not been altered.
On some slides I need to add a text caption.
I'm finding that sometimes when I click to add a Text Caption the font, colour and size is different to what the default settings are. The default is Arial, 12, #0000FF.
When I manually add a text caption it'll show as System, 10 and black.
Has anyone come across this before? Is there a way to stop it. It's really annoying and a time waster to have to manually change the font, size and colour. And you have to be on your guard. It's not every time I manually add a text caption, just sometimes. It's intermittent.
Thanks
Anita

Hi there
The name will vary from version to version.
Captivate_v10.dat
Captivate_v20.dat
Captivate_v30.dat
Captivate_v40.dat
The location also varies. For me, it is:
D:\Documents and Settings\Rick\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
As you can see, D is my drive letter. Yours will likely be C. My name is Rick and is how I log in. Yours will be different. Also, the "Application Data" folder is likely to be hidden from your view unless you adjust Windows to show it to you. And all of this is likely in a different location if you are using Vista or Windows 7. I'm using XP Pro.
Note that you cannot edit this file. Captivate does that internally. About all you are able to do is to close Captvate and delete or rename it. Captivate will then cook up a fresh one when it starts up and cannot locate it.
Cheers... Rick

Is it possible to change the formatting of all text captions in a project?

Hi there.
I'm wanting to change the following formatting options on all text captions in my projects:
Caption type
Font
Font size
Font colour
Spacing
Is there any way of changing these for all text captions, or do I have to change them individually? I've tried changing the options in the object style manager, but I think that only works for when you're creating a new text caption, not for existing ones.
I'm using Captivate 7.
Thanks.

It depends: are you using the default style for Text Captions? In that case you can change the default style in the Object Style Manager and have it applied to all Captions.
Or you can change one text caption, and in its Properties panel choose the option 'Save Changes to existing style' from the menu top right (see screenshot). Both methods will work if you didn't override the default Caption Style for those captions. Beware: Quizzing objects can use another style.

Anyone has print out the iPhoto album book by apple after finish editing? May I check is the quality good? I have compiled my photo album book , choosen hard cover option , 100 pages , estimated cost is US150. Not sure worth to print out or not?

Anyone has print out the iPhoto album book by apple after finish editing? May I check is the quality good? I have compiled my photo album book , choosen hard cover option , 100 pages , estimated cost is US150. Not sure worth to print out or not?

All I can say is the books I've created as gifts to my children for their children were received with absolute joy and appreciation (each book chronicled in pictures the first year of each grandchild's life). Granted the sentimental factor had a lot to do with the recipient's enjoyment of the book but they were spetacular. The book with its glossy dust cover is a very impressinve way to present your photos.
As Larry has pointed out so many have posted here that they were very satisfried with their book and Apple is very good about correcting problems.
To make sure there are no errors in the book before you order preview the book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If the PDF file shows no errors, either in text typos (my biggest problem) or in missing photos, etc., the printed book will be error free.

Metadata changed after Edit in Photoshop

Since I use Lighroom 3.2, I've been getting warnings that metadata have been changed externally after I edit a PSD document in Photoshop.
Here's what I do. I select a PSD file and press Ctrl+E (Edit in Photshop CS4), then select 'Edit original'. The image opens in CS4 as normal, I make some changes and press Ctrl+S (save). The changes are then visible in Lightroom. However in Grid View I get a warning sign (exclamation mark) telling me that an error writing metadata was occurred.
Whether I then select 'Import settings from disk' or 'Overwrite settings' does not seem to matter, the image will remain how I edited it in Photoshop. Still it is annoying getting this warning every time and I wonder if I do anything wrong. Anybody else had this, and is there a solution?
This warning sign only appears the first time I edit a file. If I re-edit the same file again later, there is no warning anymore.

Exact same thing happens to me as well, but I use CS5. I always choose the Overwrite Settings option. I have spent time adjusting in LR only to see that exclimation mark and hit the Import from Disk option and all of my adjustments go away, (go to history and undo if you hit that). This whole thing seems to be a bug they need to look into.
