I’ve got so much to learn, but this is awesome!
Its really interesting, love to explore more… thanks adobe
The 2019 version looks exponentially better compared to the previous version, and I’m very excited to learn it. I want to thank the captivate community for making these introductory videos available. They’re very helpful to someone like me who is starting from zero
I’m very impressed with the evolution of Adobe Captivate 2019. My primary objective is to become fluent with Captivate as an e-Learning authoring tool. My secondary goal is to understand the capabilities of Adobe Captivate Prime LMS. My ultimate goal is to become an Adobe Captivate Specialist. The Captivate credentials provide revenue upside and industry recognition as a Learning Engineer.
I have similar goals
I love Adobe Captivate! The UI is very small in 4k – is there any plan to make the menus scalable?
Have there been any changes to accessibility features since the 2017 version that I should be aware of?
Amazing! I think the most powerful interaction is the VR experience. it is a pity that it is not yet properly appreciated in training.
Nice collection. Added to my tabs.
Power to you Captivate to make VR available with the eLearning. Cannot wait to develop VR for language learning community.
I’d like to insert a chroma keyed video directly into a 360 photo, in order to bring some life into a static panorama photo. Looks like you can do chroma keyeing in Captivate but unsure if you can insert that video into the panorama itself?
Can anyone confirm that I can insert a video that was recorded using a 360 camera. In its stitched format there are 2 sides to the video. Can this format be inserted into Adobe Captivate 2019 or is it best to link to vimeo or youtube that is hosting the 360 video? I’ve seen many examples on the tutorials using static 360 images but nothing that shows the program handling real 360 video recorded on a 360 camera?
Thank You
Kim
Excited to see the new features!..also hopeful of a certain bug video issue to be solved, fingers crossed. Rooting for the development team!!!
I’m looking forward to exploring the new features in Captivate 2019 and your tutorials will certainly help. While not a specific feature of the software, I’ve found the support from the Captivate Team and Adobe eLearning Community to be excellent. Thanks for your great documentation.
Really exciting new features offered, but any feature to make the build linear using custom navigation buttons.
Is that a question?
Exciting new features!
Wonderful new features!!! I love the VR experience feature the most!
