Demonstrating Custom motion paths and Alpha effect
Hi there! I'm Fergus. I'm originally from Ireland and via stints living and working as a trainer France, Spain, Brazil and South Africa I now find myself living and working in beautiful Canada. Professionally,  I come from over 10 years of teacher training in the English as Second Language industry where I was involved in many innovative 'ICT in classroom' projects. I also project managed curriculum development projects for deployment in a number of LMS products. Since 2016 my principal focus has been Instructional design. I transitioned to Adobe Captivate in 2018. Working as an Instructional designer has allowed me to also leverage skills with Photoshop, Indesign, Audition, Garageband, iMovie and Premiere Pro as well as live video recording, audio recording and photography. I love to collaborate and get to know people in this wonderful community! I've learned so much from new friends and colleagues I have met in the Adobe forums and I look forward to making more connections and growing together as a community.

In this, my first Adobe Captivate tutorial I will demonstrate how to achieve a reflection effect with a custom motion path.

Thanks for watching!

How did the file size of the image change in the Library after editing it? Since you seem to be comfortable with Photoshop, a tip: use PS to the wanted size in Captivate, do not resize in Captivate.

I did read in another thread that you publish often to exe, which is SWF-based. Have no idea what will happen after the disappearance of the Flash player which is not so far away.

As for the question by Le Dirio: of course you can do that in Captivate, add the Scale from to effect.

Yes, I usually do set the size in photoshop, this was just for a quick example in the video.

Really nice Lieve! When I was a language teacher there was the concept of “L+1” – teach the learners the language level they have (L) +1 degree of a good challenge to keep stimulating learning and progress. I really appreciate your contributions, I have already learned so much from you. Moreover, I find this forum very stimulating and a great way to shed light on the many things I don’t even know that I don’t know yet! I love reading all the contributors questions, articles and approaches to things. I look forward to more and more in the future.

Hi Le Dirlo,

Thanks for the comment! You can indeed add additional effects to the same object. While I’m waiting for moderator approval here on the Adobe site here is a quick link to the video showing how to do it from my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Q-OnPZjvd5o

Cheers,

Fergus

Waouhhhh again !!…

And a special big thanks for your time and the new video… I didn’t know we can affect more than one effect (never try !…) on an object…

I hope you will continue your tutorials !…

Thank you Le Dirlo for the encouraging words!

I found Captivate took some time to learn(I am still learning something new about it every day!). It’s very satisfying when you get something working though1 It reminds me of that feeling when I was doing algebra or trigonometry at school as a kid – There is nothing like it when you finally understand a problem and it all works out!

Hi Lieve,

Yes, I believe I came across a similar article on another blog in my early days using Captivate. Thanks for sharing.
