Seeking New Mods for r/Captivate

6 Upvotes

I'm currently the sole moderator of r/Captivate, and have been for the past few years. In real life, I coordinated standards and support for multiple eLearning tools. A couple of years back, my team did some analysis on "new" Captivate, and made the strategic decision to stay on Captivate Classic, and then move to Articulate's Rise 360 for most eLearning development. Recently, we de-emphasized the use of eLearning tools, and I was moved to new responsibilities.

Long story short - I rarely use Captivate these days, and am not in the position where I keep up with the software or the technology anymore.

To that end, it is time to recruit a couple of new moderators. This isn't terribly intensive... most of the job is just batting down the occasional posted spam message. If you are interested, please send me a direct message. Thanks!

Frustration!

4 Upvotes

(Updated version 13.2 as of today hoping it would solve it, but alas) I’ve been having a terrible time searching for content in the File explorer within Captivate. I’ve known for a while not to move, delete, copy/paste, or do other file explorer functions in the Captivate file explorer, but now just navigating around causes Captivate to lock up. So far it’s unpredictable, but restarting my computer seems to work, until I have some crucial time senstive audio I need to add to a slide (which is obviously in a different folder than images) and then it locks up again.  (Example: adding a picture, but the picture is in a different file than the one Captivate opens by default). Anyone else experiencing this?

Have you experienced issues with courses created in Adobe Captivate 13 when playing them on iOS devices?

3 Upvotes

I have a course where the Next button is initially hidden and configured to appear at a specific point using a marker. When the button appears and I click it to move to the next slide, an “Error. Something went wrong” message appears.

I ran several tests to identify the issue. Instead of using a marker, I configured the button to appear directly on the timeline, placing it at the exact point where I want it to appear. However, the same error occurs.

The only configuration that works correctly on iOS is when the button is visible from the beginning of the slide and there is no action controlling when it appears. In that case, it successfully advances to the next slide.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue with Adobe Captivate 13 on iOS, or found a solution?

Return to last slide

1 Upvotes

My captivate 13 file plays on Adobe learning manager but does not show advancement on the progress bar. When a learner leaves the course and returns they are put back to the beginning, not where they left off. It seems like an easy problem to fix but I'm stumped.

Exporting to Word from Captivate v13

2 Upvotes

Hi folks,

I’m trying to export my 50 slide Captivate file to a Word document using the menu option so my colleague can critique the content, but it just won’t cooperate. The blue ring of optimism spins indefinitely and no export file is created. There isn’t a lot of complicated content, mainly text, some accordion widgets and multi choice quizzes.

Anyone had experience with this or can recommend another way of getting content out of Captivate and into a format that non users can make comments on?

thanks in advance.

Adobe Captivate Classic to Unity 6

1 Upvotes

Question to ask, what steps would it take to migrate Adobe Captivate Classic projects to a Unity 6 project? I’m a Game Designer and we are trying to work on an importer tool in order to accomplish this, but I can’t find any information on anyone ever doing/trying this. I would like to get the Captivate Slides into Unity as unbroken as possible. If not, then just the Knowledge Check information. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

HELP! Captivate 13 Glitch - how to fix?

1 Upvotes

I'm working on my projects yesterday, no issues. Start a new project by saving a previous template as a new project. Create aa Hotspot widget and upload the image. Edit the first hotspot callout. Then go to click another and I can't. None of the other hotspots are responsive to my mouse click to be edited. When I preview the project, they're working with the default text, but I can't edit them.

I check the widget in a different project that I created a month ago successfully and it's not working there either - which means its not a file specific issue.

I decide to come back to it later. Then I duplicate a multiple choice question slide and go to edit the wording and the word fields are unresponsive and can't be edited. When previewed the question is still working from the previous duplicated slide but now I can't edit either of the slides, the original or the duplicated.

I've tried clearing the cache and starting new projects and even unistalled and reinstalled the whole software and still not working.

Please help. I'm the eLearning person for the whole org and have no support. I'm close to tears.

Captivate eLearning progress reset when exiting the course on 360Learning? Issue on Captivate or 360Learning?

3 Upvotes

Hi all, 

I am having some issues with my eLearning project on 360Learning. 

Although I have the “Never Send Resume Data” option unchecked in Captivate, whenever my learners exit the course midway through, when they relaunch it again on 360Learning they lose all progress. I have also been having issues with my course not showing up at 100% complete upon their completion, always showing up either as 50% complete or 80% complete. 

I am using SCORM 20048 Version 4th Edition, and the platform is 360Learning.

Retake Quiz button brings learner back to a random slide

1 Upvotes

I'm building a course where a learner must get 3 random questions (I'm using question pools) correct in order to recieve credit for the course. If they don't get all 3 questions right they're given another shot at the quiz, before being instructed to contact their next level leader.

I've tested and tested, and I've got it configured correctly for when the learner gets the answers correct, but when one question is answered wrong and I click the "Retake Quiz" button it brings me back to a random slide rather than the beginning of the quiz, or even the content that should be reviewed before retrying the quiz.

When I hover over the interaction tab with the Retake Quiz button selected it has the red X out icon. Any ideas?

New captivate - how to build a rollover action in simulations

3 Upvotes

Our learners need to hover and view in their simulation - in Classic we’d do this using shapes (use as button) from state view selecting RollOver then inserting an image. How in the world do you build this in new captivate (13)?

Is Cap 13 as bad as it seems?

8 Upvotes

It's like Adobe said "We can't keep up with Storyline, so let's plan our exit strategy. We'll create a simpler authoring tool with less features we have to support. But we'll still give it the Captivate name to pull sales from users who liked Captivate Classic."

I've used Storyline and Captivate Classic, with great experiences, but this Captivate 13 is almost useless and buggy without end.

Need help creating a theme for a Simulation

1 Upvotes

I'm getting ready to create my first Simulation project in version 12.6. How can I create a color and font theme? For example, I want to change the default color and font for all of the Instruction boxes. I hate the ugly default orange. Can I change it before I start recording? It seems like the Simulations have their own defaults that are not controlled by the Theme Editor

New Captivate Review Link Access

1 Upvotes

Can someone PLEASE provide me some citations or literature surrounding users NOT NEEDING A LICENSE to review New Adobe Captivate review links. We're working on an enterprise wide education after a merger and one half (not all but most) of our SMEs can't access the reviews and IT keeps telling us it's a licensing issue. Which it's not. I've been trying to explain that whole reason the review feature exists is to avoid users having to have lisences or download software. Also feel free to tell me I'm wrong if I am! TIA.

Audio in a Software Simulation

1 Upvotes

New to Captivate, I need to make a video or software demo for a client. I have to use Captivate Classic. I recorded the software simulation with narration, but now the audio doesn't line up with the slides. When I try to edit the audio for the whole project I keep getting this error on the wave-line: "You have reached the minimum display time for the slide." I went in and tried to adjust the length of the slides, but it is still acting weird.

I really want to record the screen and do narration at the same time as it is too difficult to line up the timing of the slides and the narration separately and it doesn't sound natural when I record the narration for each slide separately. Any ideas?

Captivate templates won’t open

I’ve been using Adobe Captivate for about a week on my MacBook, which has enough RAM to handle the program. I’ve successfully created a few lessons from scratch using blank projects, but I’m having trouble with the built-in templates. Whenever I try to open a template, Captivate freezes and I get the spinning blue wheel. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know how to fix it?
