Soundbooth Integration with Captivate

Adobe Soundbooth and Adobe Captivate are tightly integrated in the new Adobe eLearning Suite.

We already know that Captivate audio can be edited using Adobe Soundbooth but now it comes with new enhanced functionality. Now developers can actually edit multiple audio files inside Soundbooth and bring all the changes inside Captivate with just one click.

Consider a user working on a 10 slide Captivate project. He has three audio files in library which he uses on slide 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Now what if user wishes to edit audio on all three slides using Soundbooth?

He can just select multiple audio files and select “edit with Soundbooth”. Then all the audio files are made available in the Soundbooth ‘Files’ panel. User can then select each file and edit it one at a time. Once it is done, he simply needs to click ‘save all’ and that’s it!

All the audio edits are saved and reflected both in the Captivate library and on the associated slides where these audio files were being used. Thus just with one click, users can now save all the edited audio from Soundbooth back into Captivate, without loosing the slide associations.

Please see a demo of the same scenario here

Do try out this productivity enhancing functionality and let us know your experience with it.

Hi Mukul,Thanks for the tip about CP4 only supporting 8bit and 16bit audio files.I think that’s why CP4 is giving me the “unable to decode” error.Unfortunately, I have already recorded hundreds of .wav files at a higher bit rate. In Soundbooth, is there any way to batch convert audio files to a lower bit rate?Thanks,coolside

Hi Stuart,CP4 supports import of .wav files. You can import it from Soundbooth too. Can you please install the latest patch update and try again.Also, please note that CP4 supports only 8bit and 16bit audio files.Regards,Mukul

This is fairly basic integration. You can do this with the tech comm suite as well.My question on integration is as follows:1. I recorded tracks in SB in the default .wav format.2. CP4 would not support importing the wav file “unable to decode and …”3. Thus I had to convert them to MP3s and import.That is not integration!
