  2. Play video by clicking video instead of the tiny little play button in the corner.

    If you want a scrolling course with multiple videos you have to use the video grid media block. When you use them the only way to play the videos is to click the tiny little play button in the bottom left corner. When you're in the program you can click the video to play it, but once you preview or publish it you lose that functionality. You should be able to just click the video to play it because that a much more intuitive workflow.

  4. Allow for audio to be played at 2x and 4x speed in HTML5 player

    In the HTML5 slide video player, the 2x and 4x button in the playbar at the bottom of the screen only speed up the slide by 2 and 4 times respectively and mute the audio. It would be a useful feature if the audio can also be sped up 2x and 4x when this button is pressed so users have the ability to both listen and watch the material at a faster speed.

  5. Combination characters in CSV replaced by Chinese characters

    Dutch, like many other European languages has some combination characters. When I have the word 'creëren' in een CSV file, the two characters 'eë' after import are replaced by one chinese character. Too bad that I can't add a screenshot. I used Gill Sans as font. I am able to delete the chinese character, but there is no way to have the second ë with the double points on top appearing in any answer. This is a real important bug!

  6. Software Sim background record issue

    When I record a software sim, regardless of if it's demo, assessment or training, the actual application I'm trying to record (a web based app in Chrome, but true for any app) does not get recorded. Instead, I see only my desktop background image (in my case, mountains with grasses and trees). The click boxes and instructions/text captions appear in the right spots, just not the actual application. See attached screenshot to see what I mean.

    I found threads for a similar problem long ago in Captivate Classic, the solution being to make sure you are running as an admin....…

  8. Ability to Print an Outline

    It would be useful to have a print function like Adobe Classic in order to print the presentation like a handout. Not at least having that function or the collaboration feature in this first rollout is a huge oversight.

  10. Add an Advanced Actions Description Field

    Please add a description field to the Advanced Actions window, where we can type a brief description of what the advanced action does, expected outcomes, etc. This would be especially helpful when working in teams.

  11. Bug - Image Grid Text Overflow with Card Enabled

    On the image grid design option "Image Grid Vertical C1" there is a bug when you enable the card component.

    When the card is enabled, the text area for the caption and subtitle go past the boundary of the card. The issue persists at all content widths. If you make the content 100% wide and preview the slide, the text gets cut off.

    If I add padding to the cards at 30px, it pushes the text back into bounds, but that doesn't fit with my other card designs.

    If there is a way to adjust this in the JSON files…

  13. Fix SCORM file responsiveness

    When SCORM file is played in LMS the responsive size is not uniform. Widgets such as flip card and other interaction are responsive to the screen size an require scrolling because the frame size is smaller, so it is causing a frame within a frame. This hides content and makes it incredibly frustrating for our end users who cannot see entire interactive elements. All elements in the SCORM file should be responsive to the frame size, not a mix of frame and screen.

  14. Recording from within a project should have all three options for recording.

    Currently recording simulation from within a project gives you radio buttons, therefore you can not record the demo, training, and assessment at the same time. This is useful if you have build up some knowledge slides then you wanted to add a software simulation as a demo and training for example.

  15. Quiz TOC checkmarks depending on right/wrong answer

    Previously, we used Adobe Presenter, where the TOC indicated by different symbols whether the answer to a quiz question was right or wrong.
    In Captivate 12.3.0.12 (German version, Windows), the TOC displays a green "passed" checkmark if the slide has been seen, even if the recorded answer is wrong.
    Please let checkmarks be configurable - or at least display an appropriate checkmark (red "x" or similar) for all quiz slides with a wrong answer.

  16. Support multiple video playback control skins and features

    Captivate Classic provides support for multiple self-hiding video playback control skins, such as Halo and Corona. It also provides "Auto Play" and "Auto Rewind" features for video that is embedded in a slide. We would like to see these features added to Captivate 2023.

    The ability to add entrance, emphasis and exit animations to highlight boxes – exactly the same way Instruction boxes can be animated. Not sure why highlight boxes missed out on this feature when it's already there on instruction boxes???

  18. Web Object Missing

    I see the web object component is missing in this new Captivate version. It is a critical component to add ifarme videos and other web interactivities. When can we expect web object component in the new Adobe Captivate version?

  19. incorrect remediation sound missing from the asset library of sounds

    put the old sounds from captivate 2019 into captivate 12. "electronic tink" sound file is also missing from the captivate 12 asset library compared to captivate 2019.

    Also there is a bug on mac computer sonoma where sometimes when you go to asset and look through the sound choices in the asset library, they won't play. Also I can't see a way to add remediation sounds to the remediation states without doing it one by one for each quiz slide.
