Hi All

We have old screen captures that have roll over captions and flash in them, i’m very new to captivate, is there any way to update these modules quickly.

Thx

Bill

doing this by hand right now, not really an easy way as others have mentioned

Sorry, in most cases it cannot be done ‘quickly’. All depends on the projects themselves.

Not all features which were possible for SWF output are allowed for HTML5 output. The contrary is also the case: many new features are only possible for HTML5 output.

Supposing you have still the raw files, the cptx files, you will need to check out the HTML tracker to find the non-compatible items. Then you have to either delete them or replace by compatible ones. That may not be so easy, especially for a new user.  After editing you’ll have to republish the files to HTML.

If you don’t have the raw files but only the SWF output, situation is even worse. You could record the file with Video Demo while it is playing, but the end result will be a passive video: all interactivity will be lost. I discussed the possible workflows for updating legacy projects to HTML in this post:
