Cut-out Characters Not Working
December 12, 2020
I’ve been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005, specializing in the creation of interactive and engaging learning experiences. In 2015, I launched my own eLearning design business and began producing Adobe Captivate video tutorials on my YouTube channel, CaptivateTeacher, to support clients and fellow developers. This content not only helped me grow my business globally—it also introduced me to a wider community of aspiring Captivate users who now turn to me for training and mentorship. Today, I provide both online and onsite Adobe Captivate training, empowering others to build effective eLearning with confidence. I’m proud to be part of the Adobe eLearning Community, sharing knowledge, collaborating with other developers, and contributing to the growth of this platform.

I’d like to ask my fellow users to try the following steps which previously worked for me in prior versions.

  1. Click on Assets in the Captivate Toolbar
  2. Click on Characters from the Categories along the left-hand side of the Assets window.
  3. Double click a character set from any of the characters you see in this window.
  4. Select a pose from the window, select any of the options from Closeup, Half, Full and Use High Resolution Images.
  5. Click Insert.

This has always worked as expected for me but while teaching a class this week, I had this not work and several of my students reported the same issue. Eventually, it would work but often only after repeating the steps several times. If you find the same problem please submit a bug report to Adobe letting them know. The more people that report such issues, the more likely they will be resolved quickly.

I’m also having an issue with the “Discover” section characters (looks like they come from Elearning Brothers).  I click to download and then it says it’s downloaded and I get a message to go to the Downloads tab but when I do, nothing is there.  Also, it randomly changes from the characters to showing the elearning.adobe  “Best of elearning” page.

Where is the best place to submit a bug report?

Yikes!!

I tried both checking and unchecking the “high resolution” box and it isn’t working either way.  It acts like it’s downloading and inserting but then nothing appears on the slide.  Tried 5 or 6 times with different characters and nothing…
