Captivate 2019 has been taking a long time to publish files for me. sometimes up to an hour, even for files that are not very complex.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

1. Deleting the cache.
2. Uninstalling Captivate entirely, including preferences, then reinstalling.
3. Ensuring nothing else is running in memory (or very litte).

It does appear to hang but usually if I let it keep going, it will eventually publish.

I have plenty of free RAM and hard drive space.
I’m running Windows 10 on a Lenovo ideaFlex 4.

I have no problem running other applications. Needless to say, this is wreaking havoc with my productivity levels.

Here’s a readout of the task manager. Is it normal to have so many copies of cPCefHelper.exe running?

Hello Joseph

SVG is the way to go but Captivate can not handle a lot of svg files.

Adobe Kill Flash, in order to kiss up to Apple. What is replacing Flash, as of now nothing.

HTML5 and all the Javascript library can not even came close to what flash was able to do.

I am using a lot of After Effects, Illustrator, SVG and Gif files. In order to replace Flash.

In addition to javascript. I hope that Captivate will be able to handle SVG files much better in the future.

So as it turns out I’ve been using SVG a lot in my lessons. I just stripped out the SVGs and replaced them with PNGs and I have no problem publishing. it appears that one or more of the SVG file were causing the problem. I did not expect this.

Chi dorme coi bambini si risveglia bagnato.

Adobe Captivate is getting worse in some sense.

In 2019, They added VR. That is a waste of resources because VR is a limited technologies.

Company are not going to buy additional equipment to view a tutorial, maybe the military.

I would concentrate my resources into SVG and MKV(Matroska).

But that will never happen.

Ciao
