I proposed to lower the resolution of my screen to 1280, because that would have increased the size of the text panels like the Advanced Actions dialog box. But was told that everything was readable…stuck with HD. I’m sorry about that inconvenience. You have some of the example files, and can have a closer look at the actions in those.

Thanks for the comment. Resolution choice is a difficult topic, followed the given instructions, which was HD.  You didn’t specify about which text you are talking? In the example projects, in the presentation, or during editing in Captivate. I suspect the latest?

You watched the On Demand, which is a MP4, always compressed with loss of quality. Hope that the live session is better readable.

I’m watching live and I can’t read the demo window text very easily.  It needs to be HD – I don’t think it is now.

Mike: Unless I’m confused about what you mean, there is a button at the top right that will allow you to zoom in and see the text clearly. Lieve: I would like to see the cursor.  It was a bit of a mystery where you were clicking sometimes. Thanks again!

It was HD, really 1920×1080. During the test I proposed to lower the resolution for the small texts in Captivate, that would have been readable. It is because the text is so tiny that you have problems. Not a higher resolution needed, but a lower one for the Captivate demos.

One of the problems with a live demo, especially at that required HD resolution, in an application where there are a lot of tiny indicators. I am so sorry about that… Please feel free to ask for more info if necessary. You’ll find lot of use cases for shared and advanced actions on my blog.  I had two scenarios in mind for the presentation. The start polls told me that the majority of the attendees were not really acquainted with advanced actions, and certainly not with shared actions. I had asked the Q&A moderators to warn me if there was such an issue, but that never happened. Will probably post more info in blogs meant for intermediate users.

Merci Ludovic.

Which problem wit which shared action?

It is a tremendous challenge to offer some information about two topics (Advanced and Shared actions need a different mindset as I often told) in less than 45 minutes, without knowing anything about the level of the participants. That is why I choose to offer an overview, and focus on using both type of actions and their differences. Hope you  learned something?

How could I not learn something from you ?… I’m one of your your virtual student since 2 years now and I still learn from your expertise !… Your idea of stocking the shared action in a single project, like a bibrary, is brilliant !… 😉
