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.
You should be able to adjust the settings of each device separately. It is really difficult to make it look good across all screens otherwise it is really difficult to make it look good across all devices. This is a pretty standard feature

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…

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.

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.

Auto update
Implement an option to select auto update the All New Adobe Captivate. I didn't even know the software was not updating automatically and that I need to check for updates manually.

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!!!

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.

allow two or more items to be selected on the timeline simultaneously
Only one item can be selected in the timeline at at time. There are times when I need to move 2+ items to the same location on the timeline. Allowing for multiple items in the timeline to be selected simultaneously ensures the timing is accurate and is more efficient.

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.

Web Object: Better utilization of available vertical space
I'm very grateful about the fact that with the 12.5 update the Web Object came back to Captivate. But there is an odd issue with the layout of web object blocks. They don't use the optimal vertical space within a slide layout. See the attached screenshot. Here the web object occupies only around 65% of the available vertical space between header and footer. Even if under ALIGNMENT AND SPACING Padding Top and Padding Bottom are set to 0px and Autofit Height is checked. Can that be optimized in future releases?

Allow width of photo vs. text to be adjustable

Fix inconsistent audio playback on the initial slides in Published courses
Often when I access a published course via the web, the audio on the first few slides does not play automatically. I need to advance and return to the previous slide to trigger the audio playback. This is not an ideal solution for learners.
I've tried adding title slides with no audio ahead of the first slide (expecting it would allow time to buffer and play the audio) to no avail. I've also tried positioning the audio to start at 1-2s after the slide has loaded with similar results. It might work to add a silent title slide with a…

Ability to convert own voice into TTS/Speech Agent Format
Is there a way to convert your own voice into a File Format that can be imported into the Captivate Library that can be used as TTS/Text-To-Speech or a Speech Agents?

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.
