After export my video is squeezed from both sides

Hi! I’ve recorded a software for my E-Learning (software simulation, about 550 slides). In the Captivate preview all slides look great, but in the “HTML5 in browser” preview and after export I have problem with those slides, where I scrolled with the mouse to show something (PDF-Text for example): my video is squeezed from both sides (left and right – see image). Could you please tell me why this happens and what I can do to change it? Thank you!

Using Captivate with a wacom pen

Does any one of you suggest any special configs for this one???  By the way, I am following the Adobe Captivate Essential Course from LinkedIn Learning […]

Autoformat TEB entries in Cp 2019??

Is there a way to autoformat text from TEB user entries? For example: user types 5000 in a TEB. Is there a way to auto format that entry so that the text can appear as $5,000.00? I’m aware that I can restrict max # of characters, numbers only, etc. but I haven’t found a way to do what I’ve just described. I’m thinking it will require some JS coding but I’m hoping it won’t because JS coding expert I am not.

How can I add alt text to an image in Adobe Captivate?

How can I add alt text to an image in Adobe Captivate? I am wondering about how to make an Adobe Captivate module accessible for people who use screen readers.

New user friendly

My favourite thing about Adobe Captivate is that it feels relatively easy to start using it, because in many ways it is similar to PowerPoint and, yet, has features that make it noticeably superior in for e-learning purposes.
