Video in quiz / Captivate 5

I'm working on a project with video in quiz.
However when I click on submit button before video ends the slide won't continue to next slide.
Everything has to wait until video end then I can move on to next step.
Is there anyway that user can anwser the quiz before video ends?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Once you put a Video on a slide it goes to "Timline" (Bottom of Captivate) so that Slide will have Timeframe (As per the object)
I am supossing the Video is long so in Timeline you will see the duration of slide is dependent of duration of the video.
Even if user submit the answer, slide do not move further because of the duration of slide (duration of video)
So you can decrease the length of Video from Timeline but it is going to affect the video.
Hope it helps
Thanks

Video with quiz

Hi all, I'm new to adobe captivate. I want to make a video but with quizzes in it. Which means that when I'm playing a video, it will stop at a certain time and a quiz will pop out. I've tried one myself however, it is not working. May I know if there is any sample video with quiz for me to download and test or is there any tutorial for me that teaches me how to do a video with a quiz? Thank you

Will have to repeat, what Rod already mentioned: mp4 is a video format, by definition that can never be interactive, so you will not be able to have quiz slides, because those are interactive. Only output to SWF or to HTML5 can allow interactivity.
You are not able to insert interactive elements (like buttons, click boxes, question slides) in a cpvc because that is meant only to create video, for the same reason we all try to explain to you.

Working with video files in Captivate

We have recorded a short video that we want to insert as an
animation in to Captivate. We've saved the wmv file using
Moviemaker as an avi file, but Captivate doesn't like it. A message
pops up to say "This avi file cannot be converted to swf". Any tips
on how to get a simple video in to Captivate?

Usually when audio is heard but the video is unseen, it's a
codec issue.
What codec are you using for the AVI creation? I'd think it
is having
issues being converted to SWF. Try exporting the AVI with a
different codec.
Generally, I would stay away from trying to load .avi files
into CP
directly (as you've experienced).
Converting to FLV would be the next best thing (if not
better) to a SWF
conversion. Don't worry about the streaming - if there's no
FLV (FMS)
server, the movie will still play. However, if you're having
sync
issues, that also seems likely to be a conversion issue -
mostly related
to the codec (?). Perhaps try a different conversion tool -
the one
you're using seems to be...flaky.
Related to SteveC's reply, I find conversion from QT to FLV
to be the
smoothest, so if you can output to QT (.mov), you may have
better luck.
If you can't export the original movie to QT, try MPEG or
MPEG2.

PDF files not executing video created with Captivate

I create eLeaning videos with Adobe Captivate and the resultant video is generated in a PDF and HTM files. For some such elearning, the PDF is not working. the window opens and the bar for TOC and a small black window where the video loads, display. It is as if the video is in the process of loading but nothing happens.
I use windows 7 OS. Captivate is not an issue since the HTM files are generating correctly. Adobe Reader is also not an issue since some of the videos are loading perfectly. There are only some videos that are giving a problem. Any idea what could be wrong. Would appreciate if anyone has an advise.

Please add the source file and published output in Flash Player global settings .
You may use the link down below to check the process of adding content to Flash Player global settings. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=00000453.html
If it still doesn't work then please let me know the format of the video which are not working.

Rajeev.

Video files in Captivate 6 externalize when publishing the project. Is there any way to publish an S

Video files in Captivate 6 externalize when publishing the project. Is there any way to publish an SWF project with the video files all in one single file?

Rhonda, I used Captivate 6. Create a New Project. Set the project size to the size of your MP4. In my experience, this was 640 v 480 which also happened to fit nicely within my final project.
From the menu, select Video > Insert Video. Choose "Multi-slide Synchronized" and point to the MP4 on your local drive. Select a skin and playbar that you like from Project > Skin Editor. Then publish. In the Publish dialog, choose SWF as your output format option (not HTML5).
This is the SWF that I added to my master project through Insert > Animation.
Hope this helps!

List of webinars/Videos to showcase Captivate in less than 1 hour.

Hello, we would like to showcase Captivate to our entire company.
We will have a meeting with about 10-15 people from different departments. Such people are not familiar with the product.
Would you have a list of links short videos/webinars that you would recommend to watch in about 1 hour so that the employees would get a general idea of the product?
Thank you in advance

8 videos in one captivate 7 project?

Hello,
my customer would like 8 standard-definition 4-6 minute videos shot with 5 questions or so after each video to test if the learner understood what was explained. This project is to be later uploaded onto Skillport, an LMS. Could anyone inform me of the practicality of this? Is that doable or would the Captivate file explode due to its size? : )
Thanks for any advice! Ryan

I have 5 event videos in one Captivate project -- each 4 - 12 MB -- and I publshed the project to my desktop as a .swf file to test it. I got a screwy result.
The project consists of 5 slides, each with an event video. In the published playback, pushing play on the event video in the first slide (not the project play bar, but the video play bar) does not play the 1st event video like you might expect, but advances you to the next slide. When you then press play on the 2nd slides video (not Captivate playbar, but video playbar) , you are advanced to the third slide, and so on until you get to the fifth and final slide. On the fifth slide, when you press the event video's play button the first time, nothing happens. On the second push, a video finally starts, but it's actually the video on the first slide. It seems to play without problem...
Any thoughts on alleviating this problem?
I also considered something like <iframes> tags on each slide, and just uploading the videos onto YouTube, but I dont think you can imbed iframe tags into Flash file...

Video captioning and Captivate

Hello guys,
I thought I could caption embedded video clips with Captivate
but the feature only applies to captioning the audio slides. Our
presentations will have video clips and because of 508 compliance,
we need to caption them. We also need a video player that is
accessible. Supposedly, JW Player is the most accessible.
So, my question is, has anyone had to display embedded
captioned movie clips inside Captivate And instead of using
Captivate player skin, using the JW player instead? I am new to
Captivate and don't know how to do this.
Thanks

I just looked at the JW Player website and from what I can
see it uses flashvars and javascript in order to work properly.
In it's current form I don't think it would be possible to
integrate JW Player in your Captivate projects. Since the code is
open source it would be possible to customize the JW Player to work
in Captivate, but that requires codingskills in Flash.

Video in Quiz Feedback?

Hi,
I am creating an e-learning course with a digital agent who guides the learner through the course. During the quizzes, I want to have the agent deliver the feedback. I'm using Adobe Captivate 5, and the agent is being generated from another program that lets me save it out as either a Flash *.swf or as a video in any of a variety of formats. Can quizzes in Captivate have animation or video feedback instead of text? If not, can this be done in Adobe Presenter? Or, can someone recommend a stand-alone tool that can generate such a quiz that I could import into either Captivate or Presenter?
Thanks!
-Ray

Actually, it turns out that there is a way to have the text that gets input into a Short Answer question saved to a variable so that you can display it on the next slide.
Set up a User Variable to hold the value of the answer (e.g. call it Question1AnswerText) and create an Advanced Action (call it SaveQuestion1AnswerText) to assign the Question1AnswerText variable with cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice system variable. Then on the quiz question, set the On Success action to Execute Advanced Actions ans select SaveQuestion1AnswerText as the action. Create a text caption to display on the following slide and set it to display the cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice user variable.
I just tried this in a test project and it worked. You may need to create two Advanced Actions. One for Success and one for Failure with appropriate Go to Slide settings added after assigning the variable value. That way, your user can be branched to the slide where the avatar gives the right kind of feedback based on their response. But either way, the caption on that slide should be able to display their original answer.
If you want an extra feature included in the next release of Captivate, adding notes buried in posts on this forum is not the best strategy.
There's a Feature Request page dedicated to this:
http://www.Adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=5
As well as an IdeaScale site that I set up which is NOT controlled by Adobe and allows you to see what everyone else is asking for: http://captivate6ideas.ideascale.com/

Cap 6.1 - Error with .flv videos in quiz

I have 5 .flv videos in a quiz and they used to work flawlessly. I had some install/uninstall/subscription issues and inadvertently updated captivate from 6.0 to 6.1 (dont know if this is the issue) and ever since I have had errors.
The error is easily noticable in preview mode as the video overtakes the quiz and doesnt let you see any of the quiz questions. When I publish to Adobe Connect (the quiz is for an elearning webinar) everything works fine except for 2 major errors: 1. You cannot interact with the video skin (ie play/pause/playbar/etc.) 2.There is a "full screen" option in a connect pod that is sharing a file, if you click this the video goes full screen and only goes away with the esc key, once it goes away the "submit" button no longer works so youre stuck and cannot complete the quiz.
I can send the file to anyone who wants to take a look, the error should be pretty evident when you preview. If you preview in captivate, the video shows up and blacks the quiz out, if you preview in web browser it gives you the issues that I have in connect. I believe they are the same errors in different formats.
As a temporary workaround I have:
-removed the skin and just looped the video to remove any interactivity with the video
-instructed the presenter/host to advise the 40 person elearning class to NOT press "full screen" under any circumstances
However I am still looking for a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a class that starts at 7 ET/4 Pacific
Thanks

Once I got the project all set again, previewed successfully both in captivate and in web browser, I went to publish in connect. When publishing in connect it gave the same error I had a month or so ago:
"Failed to publish your project to the Adobe Connect Server. Verify your network connection and try again"
(see my other thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5510327#5510327)
Now this was frustrating coming across this again when I thought this problem was solved a while back. I went into a chat session with an adobe support person and screen shared and his conclusion was that a couple slides were problematic. I again scrapped the whole file, re-did the project, and published to connect. It worked and I had successful publish. The problem? I went to test it in connect/preview/web browser and it has the same bug as before (as mentioned in the first post of this thread). Needless to say, I almost threw my computer out the window.
I have now gone full circle TWICE experiencing both issues at opposite ends of my laps and it is starting to get frustrating. I am thinking it is a bug, might never have a solution, which is disheartening.
Anyone willing to take a stab at it is welcome, im at my rope's end...

Color settings for video demos in Captivate 7 and 8

I have been working with Captivate 7, and I recently got the Captivate 8 upgrade. I haven't been able to get good quality colors in my video demos in either version. I can select either 16 bit and 32, but the resulting video looks exactly the same, like when I change my monitor to display 16 bit. Software simulations look great, but I can't seem to change the color setting for the videos. I've changed the settings both in general and in individual projects, and still no change. I'm using a Mac to capture video on Windows 7 through VMware. I've tested the video demo capture on the Mac, and it's showing the same degraded colors. Any ideas?

Hi There,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
As such there is no skin specific to RTL in Captivate 8. As of now bullets in quiz cannot be alligned to right . To know more you can refer to the following link : Right to Left Language Support in Adobe Captivate 7 - YouTube

Interactive Video Training using Captivate 8.

I am showing a training video as part of a Captivate 8 project. I want the user to click on certain buttons (ex. Stop Train, Slow Down, Signal, Start Train, etc.) depending on where they are in the video.
Can this be done as part of a quiz/test and if so, how is this accomplished?
Thank you.

I've never seen a project.json file, only the project.txt file, which is just some metadata and not called by the project.

Grey box over multiple choice options in quiz (Captivate 5.5)

I created several quiz slides - all multiple choice. When the mouse is moved over the answer options a grey box highlights the radio button and text of the option. I'd rather not have this grey box displayed. Any ideas on how I turn off this "feature"?

Interesting. Can you upload screenshots of a question with the grey rollover and a question that does not have it, each with a mouse cursor over an answer item, so that we can see?
Is this a project that has been upgraded from an older version of Captivate or was it built from scratch in Captivate 5.5?

No radio buttons in published quiz Captivate v7

when i publish my quiz and play it, i don't see the radio buttons for the answers, and when i select one, my selection isn't evident. (When I preview the lesson, the questions look correct.)

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Are you facing this problem in a specific project and every project which you create in Captivate ?
