  3. make preview match what I see in Captivate

    When I am creating slides in Captivate and go to preview them, often what I see on the preview is different than what i see on the main Captivate screen. This is extremely frustrating. See attached pics. Why are they different?

  5. Adobe Stock

    Adobe Stock should be embedded into the application instead of having to download the image and upload via assets.

  6. Bug: Captivate crashes when modifying files in import file dialogue box

    I am experiencing a bug in Adobe Captivate 12.5. When importing files, for example, when adding an image to a new media block, I have noticed that if I add, delete, or copy-paste a file within the import file dialogue box, Adobe Captivate freezes and must be closed from task manager. Upon attempting one of those file modifications, Captivate freezes and becomes unresponsive. I am unable to finish importing the file, choose a different file, close the dialogue box, close the project, save the project, or take any other action within Captivate.

    While it is obviously not a smart idea…

  9. Click box interaction

    I really miss smart shapes and being able to put click boxes wherever I want on slides that are 'regular' slides, not software sim slides. For instance, if you have a map and want to make parts of the map clickable.

    Hotspots are OK , you can change the opacity to 0 and have an invisible area to click... but I can't add an action to it to do something like take a user to another slide.

    As a workaround I use a software simulation slide and change the background image. Then I add click boxes for the areas I…

  10. Ability to undock panels.

    Would like the ability to undock and move the timeline panel, or any panel, to a custom location on my screen or to a separate display. Currently, I can only view Captivate on one monitor and when the timeline is expanded I lose a lot of screen real estate. In Cp Classic, I could undock and move the timeline, library, and many other panels wherever I wanted and save that layout for future projects.

  11. Would like an option to re-scale project image resolution after they have been recorded.

    For example if the simulation was recorded with Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution I'd like the option to save it as HD (1280 x 720) so that it fits within my RoboHelp topic frame.

  12. Create a java script or interaction that will rewind audio. When attaching audio to a slide, the learner cannot rewind the audio.

    Currently, it is possible to use JavaScript to create a button to rewind video files within the captivate project, however, there is no similar functionality available for audio files attached to slides. This limitation impacts the learner's ability to revisit specific parts of the audio content.

    I recommend adding an option under the interactions section or as part of the timeline settings that enables users to rewind audio attached to a slide. This feature could allow creators to configure rewind increments of 5, 10, and/or 15 seconds(or provide custom intervals). This functionality would make it easier to review the content…

  13. Offer a new speech agent option of Paul Wilson's voice (Adobe Captivate Virtual Training instructor)

    Offer a new speech agent option of Paul Wilson's voice (Adobe Captivate Virtual Training instructor). His voice is very easy to listen to! A lot of the text to speech voices are very robotic sounding.

  14. Allow Highlight box on image slides

    I have screen shot images in which I want to point out items using a highlight but there is no option if you are using a slide with an image. This seems only possible on a simulation slide. Same with hover box or or button. I can only add a button at the bottom using the widget, but I can't overlay an interaction on my screen shot.

  16. Check for update

    In Adobe Captivate, the only way to check the version and/or see if there is an update is to create a new project; or open a new project. It would be nice to be able to do the same in the home screen.

  17. Three Outcomes for Quiz Results Slides

    Presently there are two possible Review Area results messages, however there are three possible results of some quizzes.
    1. You passed
    2. You failed
    3. You ran out of tries

    It would be nice to have the third Review Area message available when a set number of tries have been set in the Interactions Section of the Results slide.

    I have a client right now who wants this configuration but it requires a custom solution on my part.

  19. Character Speech Card Shape - Does not adhere to timeline settings.

    I am trying to mimic an ongoing conversation between two characters. When I move the character speech card on the timeline to show at a specific point in the audio, the text shows at the correct point, but the speech shape shows the entire time. I tried to get past this by using show/hide settings in bookmarks, but because I am using multiple blocks on the slide and show/hide the content blocks, when I show the block, then hide the speech card, it shows on the slide for a brief moment then hides. It looks messy. If, I when I…
