Intro Reusability in Captivate is one of this tool’s most amazing features, but a lot of the possibilities (often time-saving) are not very well known by (starting) users. When I mention the word ‘external library’ in a presentation I see a lot of confused eyes among the participants. Even recently, based on an answer on the forums, someone sent me a message: ‘What are you talking about, never heard about external libraries in Captivate, where can I find them?’. Time […]
I am a PC and Android user 100%, so I had to borrow my daughters iPad to test out Adobe Captivate Draft. As a designer, I am a true believer in storyboarding. I believe that creating a master document that shows your plan of action is good for both the builder and the client, so I wanted to see if Adobe Captivate Draft had enough for me to invest in an iPad of my own. I found the ability to […]

Last week, I posted a blog article in which I discussed how performance support video solutions are flipping training on its head. In that article, I talked about how traditional training stresses participants learning something at a defined time – and then going into the work area and doing what it is they learned. I then shared how in my own experience of developing performance support tools, I realized that the DO occurs first and is followed by LEARN. After […]
For major video projects, or when I need to edit videos beyond just trimming I use Adobe Primer; however, when I needed to do just short Web cam videos or screen captures I would used other tools, mainly Techsmith’s Camtasia Studios. But the other day I downloaded Adobe Presenter Express and I was very impressed. Adobe Presenter Express is a top notch capture program, and it is fast! Creating tutorials using screen capture was easy and intuitive and the “Change Your […]
Hi Captivate Community Shambu asked me to blog about all my new Captivate experiences and features I used to know while my e learning creation.

A common e-learning interaction is a set of buttons that activate the display of a particular set of images and text. Often, the items are displayed as an overlay on top of the button set, and a semitransparent grey background is added to de-emphasize the selection buttons. When the learner is done with the displayed information, they click on either the background or a specific “close” button. This is commonly referred to as a “Lightbox.” Captivate has all of the […]
This video shows how to make animated image captions to display hidden objectives or additional contents to introduce e-learning modules. It shows a way to make rollover and rollout animations to show/hide captions. It is html5 compatible and for desktop projects.
