Video demo playbar

In Captivate 6, when creating a video demo, is it possible to choose from different playbars and customize them as can be done in a regular demo or simulation project?

Hi Jay,
The output of a video demo is an mp4 file, so the playbar is shown by the player you play the file in, so there is no control over that..
But there are many html5 video players with customisable playbars, in the following link,

CP 6.0.1.240 - Video Demo Project vs. Video Recording & YouTube

Hello,
I have a project with two small slide videos included. I recorded them using Record New Video Demo and I embedded them on 2 different slides using Video > Insert Video. Once embedded I added text captions etc and timed them to coincide with the video. When I preview the video, timing is dead on. When I publish to YouTube, one of the two videos delays noticeably and it throws off the timiing of all the related captions, etc. I tried F4V and MP4, I tried uploading using the YouTube button and directly, no change. I even tried manually pushing the timing of the captions out to see if I could account for the delay on YouTube but it doesn't have to do with the slide just the pre-loading or starting of the video on that slide. The fact that I have 2 slides each with an embeded video and one works fine and the other doesn't is driving me around the bend. I compared the two slides side-by-side and could not find any differentiating settings.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for me to try?
Thanks
Julie
UPDATE: I went back to compare side-by-side the videos and I have noticed a difference. One is called a Video Recording and the one that pauses for too long is called a Video Demo Project. I could have sworn I recorded them in the exact same way. This sounds silly but does anyone know what I did differenty; why one is a video demo and why the other is a video recorrding?

UPDATE: When I finally published the video to YouTube, the hiccup or pause on the background audio seems to have resolved. It was very evident in previewing the project and not noticeable once published to YouTube. I have a new issue now as it relates to pausing but not of the audio of the video itself. I will be posting a new thread for that.

Is there any way to PAUSE/RESUME the actual recording while recording a Video Demo slide in Captivate 8?

If I have to take an "off-screen" action while recording a video demo slide in Captivate I am forced to END and start a separate video demo to continue.
This fragments my demo and seems an unnecessary set of steps.
Is there a way to pause the recording for long enough, say to clear my throat, and then resume?
Thanks.

Why do I not have the option to publish my video demo to Adobe Connect?

I'm new to Captivate and recorded a video demo for my co-workers instructing how to set up and run an Adobe Connect Meeting. We have an account to publish Adobe Presenter and Captivate content to Adobe Connect Pro, and use it to host our Adobe Presenter presentations. I was under the impression I could publish the video demo from Captivate much like I do the presentations from Presenter in PowerPoint, however when I go to publish my video demo I am not given the option to publish to Connect. From what I've found (here: http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/advanced/publish_acrobat.html), you can select/edit the server(s) you publish to under the Quiz menu, however my video demo has no quiz and I have no quiz menu.
This is what I get when I go to publish the demo:
..as you can see, no option to select a server.
This is the Preferences window. Again, no place to select a server:
I've found plenty of information on adding video demos to a Connect Meeting room, but I'd rather just publish it to Connect the way I do Presenter files. Is this possible or do video demos have to be added to meeting rooms instead? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

How do I add to a Captivate 8 Video Demo

I recently upgraded from Captivate 7 to 8. I have created a number of Video Demos in Captivate 7. I tried creating my 1st one in version 8 and am struggling with how to add to the end of the Video Demo. I usually create in segments, break, plan the next section and then record the next segment. THis used to be easy in v7. But I am not seeing how to do this in Version 8. If it is not obvious for me, it must not be obvious for others.
Can some one help me?

Maybe you forgot to click on the button 'Edit Video'? It is still on the same location as for CP7, very little has changed for the cpvc files except the feature to get rid of popups.

Video Demo editing changes do not show in the main presentation file (CP7)

A Video Demo can be edited eg splitting a clip and inserting an image.
When this has been done you save the file and re-open your main presentation file (cptx file) and insert the Video Demo file.
All great in theory except that all the above changes that I have made do not play in the cptx file.
I have raked my brains to think what I could be doing wrong, even though I am new to Captivate.
Has anyone else had this problem or could suggest what I could be doing wrong to cuase this?
Many thanks.

The only way that seems to work is to use the Edit Video Demo button in the Properties panel of the cpvc, when selected in the Filmstrip.
The solution that Haridoss gave, maybe I understood your problem not well, was to save the cpvc-file with another name after editing, deleting the old cpvc-slide and inserting the new cpvc with the different name. Another workaround is to delete the cpvc file in the Video folder of the Library, previous cpvc-slide(s) will be empty, then insert again the cpvc-slide, but you also have to delete the empty slides.
It is confirmed as a bug. Crossing my fingers that it will be solved soon.

ACME Video demo: Members can't log on

Using: JDeveloper 3.0 (build 532)
Tesing the ACME Video demo in JDeveloper's own environment (ie, without a separate web server), no member can sign in to the ACME video store web interface.
scott/tiger member/password doesn't work...
I proceeded to create a new ACME video member and to my surprise, I even received an e-mail welcoming me as a new ACME video member (very nice touch for the demo), but still when at the welcome screen for the ACME video store, I could not log in as a member with the new userid/password.
Just for interest sake, I tried to create another new user with the same member name and login as my first member that I created and as expected, it told me that that user existed. So, it is obviously referencing the database for verification that the member already exists, but member login just doesn't work for some reason.
When trying to login into the ACME video database member login screen, the error I get is the usual "invalid login" that you get when you enter an invalid password or userid.
I even tried entering the member# (eg, 2250 for scott/tiger) in case the interface was expecting the member# rather than the name, but no luck there.
I logged into the ACME Oracle database directly in SQL, and verified userid/password for all the members in the ACME_MEMBERS table, but none of the logins work.
Any ideas to what the problem is? I have yet
to track down the code where the password is being verified so that maybe I can see exactly why the login is failing, but I have not had any luck tracking it down as of yet. . . but I'll keep looking.
I'd really like to see this thing work to understand more about JDeveloper and it's features.

hi mason mason,
iChat 3 has a feature that blocks multiple logins form the same screen name. this effects different apps on the same computer and trhe same name on different computers.
It also has a check box in iChat > Preferences > Accounts that can be set to over-ride this. (select the screen name on the left and then the Information tab)

Adding audio to Video Demo: Captivate 7

Hello, i have several questions about working with audio in a video demo in Captivate 7.
I have a video demo that was captured without audio, then the intended script changed signifigantly so the timing is way off (sometimes the video doesn't hold on a screen long enough for the narrator to finish talking, sometimes it holds too long).
Any tutorials out there for adding audio after the video demo is recorded, when the timing is all off and I need to hold on some frames longer than the movie does? I'm doing still screen grabs and inserting them as images for the duration of the hold, but there's got to be a better way!
Is there any way to add text-to-speech in the Video Demo (other than adding it in slide notes, exporting the audio file and then importing it to the background of the video demo?)
When adding audio to a Captivate 7 video demo, is it better to add it to the video (Edit Video Demo > Audio > Import to > Background) or to add it to the slide in the regular timeline? Pros/Cons? Best practice?
Thanks!

Are you un-checking "Edit Volume" before you play it?
Sue
Hi Sue, Thanks for your help, I am new to the Mac, so forgive me if I am slow!
I cannot find "Edit Voume".
I can find "Show clip volume" in the "View menu" is that the same thing?
Thanks for your help. Chatch

Buffering icon appears when including a video demo in a project published as mp4.

I have a project containing slides and video demos. I inserted the videos as CPVC slides into the project. When I play the project in Captivate, all works fine. When I publish to video (mp4) and play, before each video starts, I get the buffering icon. This really disrupts the flow. Is there any way to hide or get rid of the icon?

Hi, r_higgens
I ran into this problem myself and fortunately a fine Adobe engineer (Tata M.A.S.B. Sankaram) was kind enough to point out a workaround. I don't think this is official, so be careful in using it.
Basically the buffering icon is the animation that is shown while loading the video. This would normally be helpful to explain while the video is loading, but in a final publish to MP4, it is distracting. Here's the workaround:
Go to <Captivate install location>\Gallery\SWF Animation\
Re-name “VideoLoadingAnimation.swf” to “Old_VideoLoadingAnimation.swf”
Publish
I no longer see the Loading animation!
Best practice would be to go back and rename the swf to the original name after publishing the output for distribution.

Cp6 Mac - does not record audio in Video Demo mode?

How to adjust the speed of a single video demo clip

This seems like a very basic function of a video that I can't seem to figure out in Captivate 8:
For an individual video demo inside of a project, how does one go about turning up the speed of that clip?
To be clear, I am not referring to simply viewing the end product and speeding that up.

Well, you could record a Video Demo using Captivate. Then publish that out as an MP4. Then you could edit the MP4 using Premiere Pro or Premiere Elements. Then you could render it back out and use it as a video in Captivate.
Perhaps others have other approaches.
You might also want to take a look at TechSmith Camtasia. I believe it has an editing capability to speed up a clip. Or just a portion of a clip if you choose to split it up.
Cheers... Rick

Video demo glitchy when recording

I am recording a video demo of MS PowerPoint. Each clip is 1-2 minutes at the most. I only have PPT, CP, and Word open while I am doing the demo. As I am clicking around in PPT, my screen will sometimes flicker or another window will suddenly pop up over it. Sometimes the Word window will jump from my second monitor into the frame I'm recording for the demo on the primary monitor. It's just all together glitchy. This shouldn't be a processor/RAM problem. I work on an Alienware with 8G RAM, 64-bit, with Windows 7. Any idea why it would be so glitchy?

Not completely sure, but try disabling video acceleration, Adobe Captivate Help | Choppy full motion recording.
The type of weirdness your experiencing is strange though, especially with an Alienware machine. They're built for gaming so having display problems while recording video is something it should do without any problems.

How to add/replace/correct narration in a Video Demo project?

I've recorder a Video Demo project in CP 6 and would like to correct existing narration. In particular, I'd like to add more detailed explanation at some places. Is there any practical workflow that could be used here?

A video stretching? How would that look? You can split a video in two clips, add a static image like a snapshot if you need to increase the duration of the video.
I will mostly do a temporary narration during the video capture so that the timing at least is correct. Later on I'll record the real narration and try to keep up to the same length of the temporary one. That is always the trouble with synchronising to a video instead of to the static slides that you get with Automatic capture. On Static slide you can move object to adapt to the narration.

Pause key not working whilst recording a video demo.

Hello,
The title says it all really. I've set the pause key to various different keys and have then pressed them whilst recording a video demo with narration.
On video playback, it is clear that the video recording was not paused at any point. What is the issue here? Is there a particular solution?
It isn't project specific as I have tried setting up various projects. The key is definitely set up in preferences and I always run Captivate with admin rights.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Jordan

Hi Vocusjordan,
Thank you for contacting Adobe Support.
The pause feature functionality in case of video demo is not available in Adobe Captivate.
However we appreciate for providing us the feedback and so you can use the below mentioned link to ask for a feature request:

Add a video demo to another video demo

I have recorded two video demos and would like to combine them into a single video demo. Is that possible in Captivate 8?

Hi there
Open them both for editing, then right-click one of them and copy.
In the second, right-click and paste. Poof! Combined video!
Cheers... Rick
