Today the Adobe team has a well-deserved celebration day: Captivate version 2019 (11) has been released! Congratulations to all of you from your most stubborn tester.

Since 10 years I have participated in every prerelease of Captivate, my favourite eLearning tool. Lot of memories and emotions! I have seen many people from the Adobe team, come and go.   Captivate has grown  in all these years from an application mainly meant to create (good) software simulations to an all-round tool suitable for all possible eLearning assets. Look at this release: easy workflow for Interactive Video, stepping into the VR world, integration of the cool features of Video Xpress in  Video Demo, CSV import as alternative to GIFT import….

My first memory of a very warm welcome from the Adobe team in my first prelease experience, has never been deceived!  Captivate developers are very open-minded, they welcome any positive criticism which can lead to a better product or user experience. Due to my experiences with other prelease groups, I want to testify that this is outstanding! It was  and is always a great pleasure to meet some of you ‘in real life’ on Adobe events.  We both experienced the same big problem: is this name linked to a woman or to a man? You had issues with my Flemish name, I have problems with your names, but …. found a workaround 

Congratulations for CP2019, and thanks to you all!

After exploring the final release version, more in depth, will post an overview of the new features in a future blog.
