Three skills to acquire (Captivate newbies)

My personal view on the three stumbling blocks for developers starting to use Captivate: Timeline, Quiz and Themes. Each basic training should focus on them.

Colors and Keys for Timeline

Timelines have color codes and quite a lot of useful shortcut keys. This article gives an overview of both.

Secrets of Video Demo Timeline (cpvc project)

Intro In a first article about timelines, I described the common features: timeline ruler, playhead, eye button, lock button, control panel and the tiny icons at the bottom of the second column of the Timeline panel.

The other posts are for cptx projects: similar to this post, Timeline features in cptx-projects understand basics of interactivity using pauses on the timeline There […]

Exploring THEMES (and templates) in Captivate

Introduction Whether I work with clients or answer questions on forums/social media, I often bump onto confusion between themes and templates.
