Make Your Adobe Captivate Playback Start Image Not Washed Out
Paul Wilson
I've been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005. In 2015 I started my own eLearning design company. I began creating Adobe Captivate video tutorials to help promote my business through my YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/captivateteacher. My intention with my YouTube videos was to attract attention from organizations looking for a skilled Captivate developer. This strategy proved successful as I've worked with clients worldwide, helping them build highly engaging eLearning solutions. In addition, my YouTube channel presented another benefit of attracting aspiring Captivate developers to seek me out as a teacher. I now offer online and onsite training on Adobe Captivate, teaching users the skills to build engaging and interactive learning.

Summary

In this video tutorial, I will show you how you can make your Adobe Captivate playback start image, which is shown instead of your course auto-playing, have 100% opacity instead of all washed out.

This solution comes courtesy of sabre123 from the Adobe Captivate Community forums so full credit goes to him or her.

Here is the entry you will want to search for: cp.autoplayImage.style.opacity=0.7

You might be asking yourself why your learners have to click on a playback button anyway? Due to browser updates, modern web browsers have discontinued auto-playing media in web pages. Similarly, HTML5 and responsive courses created in Captivate will not auto-play. Autoplaying is not honoured even after enabling the option Auto Play in Preferences > Project > Start and End.

Is there a file, setting, or registry where you can set cp.autoplayImage.style.opacity=0.7 to =1 to default and not have to change it every time that a course gets created?
