Let us take a deep breath first! If we have overused our superlatives in describing any previous contests on this forum, we will like to take it back, and place it here, as what we have witness in these last few weeks on elearning.adobe.com/projects page was nothing short of a phenomenon. This has also left our judges in a tizzy in scoring easily, due to the sheer professional quality of projects that all have created through the Adobe Captivate authoring […]
Big Sur (macOS 11) update for Adobe Captivate (2019 release) is here!
Greetings all. I am always looking for resources and things to learn from. I have read some articles recommending books and unfortunately some that seem really interesting I haven’t been able to find, but I will continue to look. Thought I would pose the question here. What are some good resources that you recommend? They don’t have to specifically be direct to eLearning or Instructional Design, but they obviously can. But if there is something that relates and you feel […]
Hi, Can someone recommend JavaScript, HTML and CSS books for beginners that would be a best fit for Adobe Captivate? I keep researching but do not find anything in particular. However, if anyone can recommend any books that were of great help to you and Captivate, let me know! Currently, I have a few in my Amazon cart but just not sure which would be good. Plan on also heading to a Barnes and Nobles this weekend and see what’s […]

Intro This article is written as an answer to a question on the forums: Drag&Drop with Advanced Action For quiz slides it is possible to show different Failure messages based on the attempt number. That functionality is not available for Drag&Drop slides. As you can read in the thread, another user posted a solution using the Object actions which are executed after each drag action. I posted some comments about the limitations of that solution. In this article the described solution is […]
In the previous post we looked at the different options that CP5 provides at the slide level to control the image quality and size. In this post we will look at the major changes in the way we publish images from CP4 to CP5. Captivate 4 publishes images that contain alpha as high quality images even if the slide quality setting was JPEG or low. In CP 5, the algorithm used for color selection when publishing with low quality has […]
Some captions and parts of images might have a dark background when published in CP5 with slide quality set as JPEG. The same project seems to work fine when published with CP4 with the same setting. This is because the mechanism to publish images has changed significantly from CP4 to CP5. In this two part blog series we look at information that you can use in Adobe Captivate 5 to parallel decide the quality of an image and the SWF […]
‘Record Application with Adobe Captivate‘ is a new feature in Flash CS5, which provides the functionality of capturing the screen with the capabilities of Adobe Captivate and getting all the content in Flash CS5, without leaving Flash CS5 at all. To capture from Flash, go to Commands Menu and choose ‘Record Application’. If Adobe Captivate is already running, it will immediately show the recording dialog. If Adobe Captivate is not running, then it will be launched in head-less mode (This […]

It is very common to have many assets or resources, for example, audios, videos, SWFs, and images in Captivate projects. While such resources enhance your projects and make them effective, they also introduce more disk I/O. Because of this additional disk I/O, the performance of Captivate may get affected and even simple operations like opening and saving projects may take longer time. ‘Project Cache’ in Adobe Captivate 5 is an attempt to address this performance issue by reducing the disk […]
I’d like to see us make August Captivate 5 Mastery Month. I’ve been inspired by wonderful recent articles created and posted to the Adobe Community Help by members of the Community like this recent contribution from Lilybiri. With hundreds of thousands of Captivate users and virtually all of them predisposed to developing eLearning, I’d want to challenge you, yes you, to create a tip, a tutorial, a handy use case or other tidbit to share with the broader Captivate Community.

“A picture is worth a 1000 words. An animation is worth a 1000 pictures.” Adobe Captivate 5 introduces a powerful new feature called Effects.

With effects not only will you be able to move objects in or out, but you can also apply certain filters to objects such as Drop Shadow, Blur, Glow and more. You can […]

The Adobe eLearning advisory board comprised eLearning industry stalwarts- Allison Rosette, Lance Dublin, Tony Karrer, Joe Ganci, Frank Nguyen, David Metcalf, and Bob Mosher. The paper highlights the key opportunities and burning questions faced by […]
A recent post on our facebook page spoke of a need to provide selection level feedback on multiple choice questions using Adobe Captivate- i.e. a different message explaining why each wrong answer is wrong. For example- try the quiz below: While this functionality has been present in Captivate 4 itself, it is a few levels down in the menu. Below is a detailed guide on how you would do this in Captivate 5. Once you’ve created your multiple choice question, […]
