Fix / make possible animated SVG files (as hotspot icons in hotspot widget)
It's possible to replace one hotspot icon in the hotspot widget with an animated SVG file (the file itself is animated, no captivate animation is used) and the animation works. However, if you try replacing more than one hotspot icon, the animation stops working (as shown in the attached GIFs).

add the ability to embed audio in hotspots and carousels
hotspots cannot trigger audio when clicked. for example parts of the body. When user clicks or hovers over the hotspot, they should be able to hear the name of that part. we can have an interaction like play media for each hotspot or embedd the audio in the callout. The same can be done for all widgets and carousels. they currently have no ability to play audio

menus
Can you add everything back into menus? I just want to publish and what not, without having to find the right button on the screen. Just have menus with all the commands. People can ignore them if they want.

Closed Captions Editing is Glitchy
When working with closed captions, my cursor disappears and it is difficult to see where I am editing, if I am editing at all. I have to select all and click to get the cursor to show or to reposition it. After selecting all and clicking, I can use arrow keys to move it, but it no longer shows on screen.

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.8 votes -

Fix a number of issues in the assets panel.
A lot of Thumbnails for slide templates do not appear in the Assets panel, instead there's a "broken link" image. It is impossible to identify which template you are using.
There's no indication of what kind of template they are. A title like "Title and Image" or "Character and text" or "Multiple Choice" would be useful to identify which template you need.
There could be an option to increase the thumbnail size, to better choose what you need.
The insert process is way too slow, even with a good internet connection.…

add AI voice cloning option for updating legacy narration clips. My CP clients like my own voice and branding continuity is important.
I use Eleven Labs but it would be much easier to add voice cloning into CP. Or, acquire Eleven Labs and integrate it into all of Adobe multimedia products!

Lost .cptx File After License Error and Reinstallation – Help Needed
Even though my Adobe Captivate license was active, I received a license expiration error. A sales rep shared a reactivation link, which prompted a reinstall. I followed the process, including uninstalling the old version, installing the new one from Adobe’s site, and restarting my system.
After this, I discovered my most recent .cptx project file—saved on June 12 with final changes—was missing. The only version left is from June 11, but the published output (dated June 12) reflects all the final edits.
Adobe Support said the file can’t be recovered from the published version. This is frustrating, especially since it's…

Enable more design features for the quiz slides
Currently if you insert a quiz slide you cannot add any additional design elements - they are all greyed out. It would be great if there was more flexibility with the design on these slides as it is a critical slide for e-learning

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 autoplay of event video upon slide enter.
Using version 12.5, it would be helpful to have the option to force an event video to play automatically upon slide enter.

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.

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!!!

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.
