You should be able to adjust the settings of each device separately.

Splash Screen on Startup Covers Everything on My Computer
In most other Adobe Apps, the splash screen on start up (the loading screen with artwork) will pop up, and I am able to look at other things on my computer while it's loading. For some reason, Captivate's splash screen is automatically layered on top of everything else on my computer, so I have to sit and wait for Captivate to slowly start before I can do anything.
It would be great if the splash screen behaved the way it does in other Adobe Applications. Thanks!

Allow more than 6 images in an image grid
It'd be great if we could add more than 6 images to an image grid. The ability to add an infinite number to a single grid would be helpful.

Fix The Voices in the Latest Version of Captivate
Chat support had me do CleanPreferencesMac, but that didn't work. It told me to my only option was to post here and just hope I could get some help at some point. Luckily I'm not on a deadline with this project!
The latest update has been a huge step backwards in terms of quality of the voices (I went through about a dozen), and the interface itself for many reasons:
- Some of the old AI voices aren't there anymore, which is not good when you are in the middle of a project (Jessica Anne in particular).
- The delivery sounds more…

Do not switch automatic panning on by default. It is not used very often. Make the default setting 'No panning'

ai text to speech
It would be awesome to add an AI text to speech generator. There are some other independent sites for this (mostly paid), and the quality is far superior to normal text to speech.

Overlay text over an image - image over image placement
It is nice to overlay images with texts. e.g. to number pictures or putting adding a text to a picture like the Smartforms in CPC.
Placing Text over a picture will help in several cases to have a better user guidance.
Additionally image over image might help too. E.g a printscreen of a software and putting 1. 2. 3 above the screen according to the audio instruction.7 votes -

be able to copy paste from another project
In 2019 Captivate, you can copy/paste an entire slide or section of slides from one project to another. You don't seem to have this option in the new version. The clipboard doesn't seem to work across projects. This would be very helpful.

Add completion status for click-to-reveal for slide interactions
. . . so that a slide interaction on a slide that has the click-to-reveal widget can depend on whether all the cards in the widget have been click.
This is because the forward and back buttons are much more prominent than the "X" in the top right of the revealed card. Users don't see the "X" and mistakenly click on the back button instead trying to return to the front of the card. If you have completion status for the click-to-reveal widget, those buttons could be hidden until the user has clicked on all the cards.

Reinstate Timing panel for component animation
Using the drag feature on the timeline to stagger entrances is not user-friendly at all. I'd really like to see the same usability we have in Classic, where you select a component and can fine-tune both the timing and animation in the same panel. These functions are linked 90% of the time, so there's no reason why you should have to go to different panels to design animation and component timing.

Open closed caption editor by double clicking on closed caption
I want to go directly to the the closed caption editor, with the text and cursor in editing mode, by double clicking on the closed captions on the slide. Rather than going to the slide audio button and clicking the edit button.

Library
We need a library so that I can see all my assets in my project, including what I add. That way I can see what is used the most and what images are a large file size, that may need to be reduced for playability.

CCs in widgets
Allow for CCs when using audio attached to widgets or multistate objects. Much of the allure and design functionality in captivate is not usable if you need closed captioning for accessability--WHICH IS ALMOST EVERY eLEARNING DEVELOPER!!! We're limited to just the basic blocks which have less functionality than a wordpress page from 2010!!!

Text formatting is off after importing translated caption and closed caption word file
The import of translated caption and closed caption word file is not helping my purpose, as the font size, color and formatting are going off. Especially if I have a text box with two words in two different font size/style/color.

Grouping
I want the ability to group select multiple media blocks to quickly move or cut and paste to a different location. I tend to lose my place when transitioning between slides when cutting content from one slide to the next.

button audio
Allow the use of asset audio files on a button click. Currently you can attach a play audio interaction, but you can't select the audio file from the asset library.

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?
