Transition from Captivate 4 to 7

I was in the process of purchasing Captivate 7 and downloaded a free trial. I am having troubles transitioning from Captivate 4 to 7. Is this possible? Am I too outdated?
I would like to know what options I have.
Thank you!

Hello There,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
I think Lilybiri has explained your concern much better.
Captivate 4 used to work with Action script 2 and now in Adobe Captivate 7 you have Action script 3 ,
You will not be able to migrate them directly as the captivate 4 projects were saved with extension of .cp and Captivate 7 don't give an option to open .cp files
So you might need to switch your projects from Captivate 4 to 5 then 5.5 and then 7 and after this transition your projects might not behave exactly the same in Captivate 7 as they were in Captivate 4.
Thanks and regards

Problems transitioning from Captivate 5 to 8

Hi all,
I just purchased/installed Captivate 8 and am converting projects from Captivate 5 files. This is the first issue I've run into and it's rather strange:
When I preview the project (using the in Captivate preview options [e.g., project, from this slide, next 5 slides]), the preview window comes up and displays the slide in an increased zoom view so high that I'd have to expand the window and change the resolution on my desktop to preview the whole within one or two monitors... (see screen shot below of the initial preview window that displays; it shows only the top left 1/4 of the slide). The current project resolution is set to 992x674 (don't ask why), but even if I re-scale it to 800 width and leave the aspect ratio the same, it still previews with this high zoom view. I can't zoom in or out within this preview window, either.
When I view it in the browser or publish the project and view the resulting SWF file, it displays normally as it did before in Captivate 5.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!
Kate

Hi there
Does the same thing occur if you create a totally new project? Maybe it's just an issue with upgrading a project.
If it also happens when you create a new project, maybe it has something to do with your computer settings.

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on my phone. Can/should I delete the accounts on my phone and start over? It is somewhat of a nuisance to have two email accounts and double the amount of emails. The only thing different about the two iCloud accounts is the email addresses. Thanks.

Well, seems I managed to unscrew this...I deleted my iCloud mail account and reinstalled it on my phone. That got rid of the duplicate .me/.mac email accounts.

Is there a way to extract the transitions from the trailers in iMovie '11 to use in my own movie?

I want to create an iMovie, and I'd like to use bits and pieces from the different movie trailers templates. Is there a way for me to extract just the transitions from these trailers.
I don't want to use the trailers themselves as they are now because the options are too limited in respect to how I can create the movie. For example, there are times where I only want two words on the screen, but I am forced to use three instead. Also, I would like to delete such things as "cast" and "credits," but it doesn't seems like I can do that either.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers.

No there is not.
You could create a trailer, share it and then re-import and cut out just the pieces you want, but I don't think that's what you're looking for.

Occasional sharp 'beep' sound when transition from a photo to a video

Hi guys-
I've been looking everywhere trying to solve this without any luck (doesnt seems like many out there with such problem).
I'm compiling a video for a family event (comprising of still photos and video clips) but i noticed that occasionally when the compilation play from a still to a video clip- it'll emit a sharp 'beep' noise.
This is what i checked and confirm so far-
1. it happens only when moving from a photo to a video (but not always occur).
2. the video clip has original sound volume set to 0.
3. original video clip does not contain the beep.
4. background song does not contain the beep.
5. not all transition from photo following video produce such beep.
6. the beep still happens even with the background song removed (technically no voice element in the project).
Can anyone share any ideas/experience around this?
Thanks in advance!
- Ryan

Does this happen just when playing in iMovie, or after you've rendered the video into a finalized stand-alone file? If you haven't exported the movie yet, I'd try that and see if the beep is still there.

The transition from iPhone 3Gs to iPhone 4

I purchased my iPhone 3GS not long ago and as such had to pay $399.99 when I purchased my new iPhone 4.
When my new iPhone 4 arrives from Apple what should I expect to have to do in order to get my ATT service transitioned from the 3GS to the iPhone 4? Will the new iPhone 4 come with a new SIM card that already has my current iPhone 3Gs phone number on it? Will I have to move the SIM card from the 3GS to the iPhone 4? Will I need to contact ATT to have service on the 3GS turned off?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

It's really easy, you will need to backup your 3GS prior, then you would connect the iPhone 4 to iTunes and it will walk you through the process. It will ask you if this is for an existing line or new number, select the existing line and off you go. It will transfer the new number to the sim, deactivate the old sim on the 3GS and then restore the iPhone 4 with the backup you just did on 3GS. Once that is done you can wipe out the data on the 3GS or just leave it - the 3GS now becomes a glorified iTouch.

Unable to export from Captivate 4 to Flash CS4

Hello everyone!
I am attempting to export a captivate project over to flash CS4. However when it goes from captivate over to flash the result is basically a slide show. It does not show any of the animations that are present in Captivate. I also keep recieving an error message.
I have searched for how to solve this problem for quite a while now and so far have come up with nothing.
This is the error message that flash gives me:
The following elements in your project have not been converted. They are not supported by this importer.
508 Compliance
A swf animation slide has been imported. The following files must be made available at publish time:
Project01_slide_22_0.swf
DefaultPreloader.swf
Please make sure you publish the project to “C:\Documents and Settings\jmillard\Desktop.” Saving the project to this directory will ensure that test project will work with the swf animation slides.
Unfortunately I am on a tight schedule to get this project done and the Captivate 4 and Flash CS4 I am using are both 30 day trials, so I am in quite a hurry.
If you could please help me I'd greately appreciate it!

When you click on <Send Book to Blurb> a dialog should come up that asks for your ID and password for your Blurb account. I don't know if Blurb ships to Norway - you probably can find out at the Blurb website. But I don't think that this is the problem here since you also cannot export a PDF or JPGs.
I don't know of any specifics why this is not possible for you but it's worth trying to replace the Preference File.
This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
BTW: Re-installing Lr or updating / upgrading Lr does not replace the Preference File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.

Adobe Connect 9 Training Course Video gets resized after being published from Captivate 6

Hello!
I have an FLV that I have published to Adobe Connect 9 from Adobe Captivate 6.
I have set the size of the video to the dimensions that best display the FLV with player controls.
However, when I publish to Adobe Connect 9, the video is resized to a smaller size and looks heavily pixelated.
Is there a way to keep the dimensions and quality without Adobe Connect 9 resizing it?
Here are the settings in Captivate 6:
Here is the first screen for the preferences:
Here is the second screen in Preferences:
Here is what it looks like when viewed from Captivate 6 in a web browser:
Here is what it looks like after it has been published and uploaded into the training in Adobe Acrobat 9:
If you notice in the image above the video is smaller and the CMS logo is very pixelated due to Adobe Connect 9 resizing it.
I am not sure how to keep the dimensions that I have from Captivate 6 and have it reflect after it has been published to Adobe Connect 9.
And is there more functionality that I am not able to access since I am using a 30-Day trial.
Thanks for taking the time to read and assist!

You are correct that this is a known issue. There was a fundamental change to the way objects are added to the timeline that came in with Cp6. The result is that objects such as your SWF animations are only loaded at the time they are added to the timeline, and this causes the slide flickering you witness. There's not really a lot you can do to get rid of it other than rebuilding all of your animations to be a single animation that once loaded will continue unabated until finished.

Are there new features that have require special attention?

A problem with data acquisitioning in LV 7.1 (transition from Traditional NI-DAQ to NI-DAQmx)

Hi to everyone,
I have a problem with data acquisitioning in LV 7.1.
I made a transition from Tradiotional NI-DAQ to NI-DAQmx in my LabVIEW application.
The problem I have is that when I acquire data in Traditional (without writing somewhere -
just reading) then there is no scan backlog data. But when I acquire data in application that
acquisition is based on DAQmx than a scan backlog indicator shows numbers from 20 to 50 for
about 6 min and then that number quite quickly increases until I get an error (unable to
acquire data. The data was overwritten).
Acquisition settings are the same in both cases. When I acquire with DAQmx I use a global
channels. Is a reason for that phenomenon in global channels data procesing? But it seems
strange why does it flows quite smoothly for about 6 min and then it stucks?
Best regards,
Ero

If you have an old Daq unit it may not be compatible with DAQMX. Which DAQ unit do you have? I think NI have a list showing which DAQ driver you can use with your card
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Detect end of the .swf file from captivate

Hi,
I've a .swf file sent by our clients. They want to put that .swf file on the webpage. The .swf file is published from captivate.
Now they want to display a submit button on end of the .swf (video). I don't know how to detect end of the video.
Need help...!!!
Thank you,
Himadri

Welcome to our community
Within Captivate you are able to choose different actions to occur when the Captivate movie completes play. Of course if you don't have Captivate and the project file you are pretty much stuck with what you have. If you *DO* have access to the source, you would then configure the end action to be what you like. Perhaps execute some JavaScript, load a different page, etc.
If you don't have access to the source file, you may be better off asking whomever provided the SWF to you to make a small change to the end action. They would then compile a new SWF and provide that to you to use.
You just said a "Submit" button should appear after the video plays. What exactly is this button supposed to do?
Cheers... Rick

Files Are Not Transferring Correctly from Captivate 4 to 5

My files from Captivate 4 are not transferring correctly into Captivate 5. The images and quiz questions are not in the same place. Help!

This is a bug.
We all have it.
Keep CP4 for the old courses, and develop new ones in CP5. That is what I am doing.
Alternative is to manually adjust everything (don't even get me started on rollovers...)

Can I save/export from Captivate 4 down to Captivate 3?

Can I save/export from Captivate 4 down to Captivate 3?

Yes, you can! But you need Captivate 3 installed in your computer.
First, open the project in Captivate 4. Copy all the slides. Open a new project in Captivate 3. Paste all the slides.
I have done this with Captivate 4 to Captivate 2, so I am sure it should work with 3.

Publishing AVI from Captivate 4 - why such a MASSIVE file size.

I've produced the AVI from Captivate 4 without a problem, but the resulting file is massive; over 500 MG for a project with 47
slides.
The .cp file for the project is only 7 MG. Why is the AVI so massive? Is there something in my setup causing it or is it simply in how Captivate converts the SWF to AVI?
Thanks for any input,

Codec selection is more art than science. A few years ago, when I was playing with codecs more heavily than now, I fell in love with the Sorenson codec...only problem was, no client machines had Sorenson installed.
So I either had to push Sorenson to the clients or figure out what the clients had and work with that.
That is pretty much where I am now, working within the set of codecs that everyone tends to have.
It was great fun exploring the best codecs, but if people couldn't see the results, that rather tended to diminish the effectiveness of the video.

Hi - also new to the forums - I am trying to do the following:
I have a slideshow with slides of people, then a slide with a video of someone talking about the person, then more slides, etc... I want to have my playlist play then pause (or fade) so that it does not conflict with the audio from the video clip when it (automatic slide show) transitions to the slide with the video - can I do this and if so how?
thanks,
