Loss in text resolution – non-responsive project

Hi, I recently tried to rework a project from responsive into non-responsive, and I instantly noticed that there was a significant loss in the resolution quality of text that I had typed into the project. The same exact text, in the responsive version, looks as if it is higher quality and is not as “blurry” as the non-responsive version. I tried retyping some of the now-blurrier text to see if that helped at all, and the text is still of […]

Multiple questions on a Quiz or Knowledge check slide

I wanted to include a few questions on knowledge check, and quiz slides. According to Adobe, you are only able to include a single question on a slide. I find this hard to believe, and am interested in learning if anyone has a solution for this. Thank you

Reference for Text-to-Speech character country of origin

Hi, I would like to use the text-to-speech feature in Captivate, and it would be very helpful to be able to see a reference or guide somewhere that shows which country each of the different character voices come from. Does anyone know if such a document exists? Thank you

Batch import images to folder in library

Let’s say you have a lot of images that you want to import directly into a specific folder, or sub folder in your library, is there a way to do that? Right now, whenever I try to import multiple images, or even one image, it imports into the top-level directory of my library, and there does not seem to be a way around that. I try to click import on the folder itself, but that does not help. Thanks

Delete button not working

I noticed recently that whenever I attempt  to delete an object within a project using the keyboard shortcut, backspace, it does not delete. I can delete objects using the right click mouse menu, but it would be much easier if this would work using the keyboard. Any suggestions? Thank you

Software simulation question

Hi, I would like to design a software simulation, where one of the steps that would be assessed in the simulation would be the correct entry of data into a field. Every step that is made in a software simulation, it appears, gets recorded as having some level of interactivity – to use numbers as an example, clicking on a cell, clicking on the correct styling for a cell, as far as the steps that have been recorded for the […]

Software simulation text entry question

I am recording a software simulation where one of the steps is selecting a text field and entering text. I would like that part to be part of the assessment; when the user enters in the right text in the assessment, the correct feedback from the click box is generated, and if the text is incorrect, then the “incorrect” feedback is generated. However, when I am recording the simulation and trying to play it back, the step of the text […]

Batch replace .svg with smartshape(s)?

I am encountering an issue in a project now that I am curious about solving, and might prove educational for the future. I have many instances of an .svg file that I would like to replace with a single smartshape. I can see that it is possible to replace or substitute an existing image file with another image file in the library – but is it possible to swap an image with a smartshape? Thank you

Physics-based interactions?

Captivate has so many interesting applications and features. Drag and Drop Click to Reveal Hotspot Interactions I am curious if any sort of physics based interactions for objects are, or will be made available one day. One object rejecting another, or two objects engaged in a magnetic type of interaction. Or allowing more free and interesting movement between objects. While those properties are not traditional for elearning, the gamification of elearning with captivate might benefit from this sort of feature. […]

Button sounds?

I feel as if the default button click sound is antiquated, and hurts my ears every time I hear it. Are there places – through Adobe/elsewhere – where you can acquire possibly better sounding button-click sounds?

Speeding up Project Preview loading times in Browser question

Hi, I am interested in speeding up the amount of time it takes for a preview of a project to load in a browser. I am using firefox which was recommended to me by Adobe. I have a relatively small project, but it takes a very long time for it to load. I tried several troubleshooting steps that seemed somewhat common sense to me, like deleting unused items from the project library, emptying the cache from captivate from time to […]
