HTML5 & MP4, Captivate to PowerPoint

I published to an HTML5 file and it will not upload as an MP4 file.  Can you possibly tell me what I am doing wrong?

Also, is it possible to take a presentation from Captivate into a PowerPoint file.  I know how to do the reverse but I need to get it to someone in PowerPoint form.

Thanks

Thanks so much,

There are some fluid boxes that I used just to place the items in them.  I am assuming that if I get rid of them then I will be able to upload to mp4.  Are there any other items that would also prevent it becoming mp4?

It is not as simple as that! You cannot convert a Fluid Boxes to a non-responsive project at all.  And only a non-responsive project can be published as MP4.

I talked about the Reviewer App, but I never tested it with a fluid boxes project. Why did you choose for such a project instead of a normal project?

My forte’ is clinical and I am now working in clinical education.  I taught myself with the aid of some books to use Captivate, so there is a huge gap in my knowledge of it.  That said, I wasn’t trying to create a responsive project, but I didn’t know which functions were designated as responsive versus non responsive.  I picked the fluid boxes because I saw that it evenly placed items on the page.  I know that is very simple of me.

I am the first on my team to learn how to use it and to push for learning aids.  I think I need to try to take a course in it.

Thanks so much.  I am going to try to remove the fluid boxes and then publish and see what happens.

Have to tell you that most books are not really explaining how to set up a project.

Repeating: it is NOT possible to take out Fluid boxes. You need to start a new project with the button ‘Blank project’ in the welcome screen. You can use the library of the present project to be used as an external library. Will post a link to a blog which explains that use. Libraries are mostly also ignored in books/training.

I understand how you started very well. At this moment I am training a medical person who followed the same way, but after one session of training by me (online) she exclaimed: ‘Why didn’t I find you one year ago? I am now saving so much time applying your tips.’ She continues to take training sessions.

Yes, now it’s making so much more sense. And you are right, the resources do not have a whole lot on libraries.  I am going to recreate it. Just wish I could’ve sat in on your classes!

When I try to use the reviewer option, it doesn’t move into our Outlook email system.  I’m not sure how to get it to go there.

Hmmm…. is this perhaps a responsive project created with Fluid Boxes?

Captivate has a Reviewer app (AIR), which allows collaborators to see the course without needing to have Captivate installed. They just need to install the Reviewer app, and can add comments which will be transferred to the original author.

Forget about PPT..
