  1. BUG Can't input Japanese

    When I try to enter Japanese into a slide, the characters I type are entered twice, and I can only enter the alphabet except for vowels.
    You can enter Japanese by copying and pasting the Japanese entered in another text editor.

  3. Navigation to bookmark on other slides doesn't work

    To replace Micro-navigation by using bookmarks, you can add a bookmark on another slide with Jump to Bookmark. However that is not functional because it always will play that other slide from the start instead of from the bookmark. If this functionality iis only possible for bookmarks on the same slide, the tab 'More Bookbmarks' should be dimmed, not available.

  4. image optimization

    Perhaps if you could add the ability to have the software optimize the images when publishing (set a max width and height or some type of way to measure it.) that would save space in the package - similar to powerpoint.

  7. {Bug} Random duplication of variables

    I created 5 variables to test out the new variable system. I created these variables on a single slide and assigned them to buttons.

    I then began programming advanced actions with the buttons on the same slide and I realized there was an entire list of duplicated variables all from the initial 5 that were created.

    I did not duplicate the buttons on this slide, nor did I duplicate the slide itself.

    • The variables couldnt be deleted until I saved the file and reopened it.

  8. Bug - Audio files in Asset Library

    I am noticing that a good number of the default multimedia elements (audio files) are damaged that are included with the new version of Captivate. How do I open a ticket to have this investigated and resolved? When attempting to use various media files (not all however), I get the following message: "Audio Import Failed. Unable to import the audio file. Ensure that the file type is either MP3 or WAV. Also ensure that the file is not damaged."

    Again, these are the included default files in the Asset Audio library (not my own or other that I am importing).

  9. Multilingual support

    our courses have more than one target audience. we have videos on Sharepoint that historically we have been able to embed. This is no longer possible in Captivate 12.

    The videos in SharePoint are capable of hosting captions in many languages. It we cannot embed these videos anymore, we would need a way to accommodate captions with in the Captivate CC functionality

  10. Dynamic bookmarks

    First goal of 'bookmarking' is to enable micro-navigation. However New Captivate can only create static bookmarks. It is not possible to create dynamic bookmarks generated on runtime. This was possible using the Movie Control category of system variables combined with Movie Information variables. Examples for the Adobe forum:
    1. Having a button on a long (video) slide allowing to move to a Help slide, and come back to resume the video where it was left.
    2. Having a button which allows to navigate forward or back for a time segment (like 20secs) on a long slide whenever it was clicked.

  11. have a way to share .cpt files between users (on the same VIP sharing package) that can sync so updates show to all users in real time.

    Like Creative Cloud or OneDrive or Google Drive but for Captivate projects, so changes are automatically saved and available for other users when they open the file.

  12. Issues with multiple languages

    To translate a course the new version has lost a lot of features which were available in CP2019:
    1. In CP2019 all used labels in Quizzes could be edited under the Quiz Preferences. Not only the Default labels, but also the Messages on the Score slide. Now some labels need to be translated using the Properties panel of the score slide.
    2. I hope the Export/Import of Prefrences will once be restored and will have all those labels, not only those in the reduced Preferences in New Captivate, A modern application, should even do this automatically.
    3. When CSV import…

  13. widget

    We had created a series of free Widgets (Captivate Classic terminology - not related to widgets in Captivate). The Captivate Classic widget functionality was great, because it allowed us to create a custom UI and include JS to the published file. Our widgets are here: https://envolvemedia.com/custom-applications/#captivate

    A simple example is the Save As Widget. The Captivate developer could use their own button instance that when clicked would just save the contents of that slide to a PDF or Image on the end-users machine.

    Captivate [New] doesn't allow for these widgets. Even creating a "Custom Design" does not support setting custom…

  14. Allow customizing scrollbar

    The scrollbar on the side when something is taller than the standard window size is very hard to see and users may not recognize that it's there. Allow customization of this to make it stand out.

    On the same vein, allow buttons that scroll to a fixed anchor on the slide if you want to be able to jump down

  15. Bring back the Slide Notes feature

    We use the Slide Notes feature often in Adobe Classic to add notes, things to remember, and our audio script. It would be a very helpful feature to add to this newest version.

  16. Add 360 image/video support to the new Captivate

    360 image/video capabilities have become increasingly more important for me to create 360 tour walkthroughs for team members that are not near physical locations. It is the next best thing to being there.

  17. Add extra actions to the widgets

    When you add a tab widget it would be nice to be able to add our own actions to the buttons, this would allow us to add our own custom validation or extra text to appear after all tabs have been seen.

    I would expect the actions to make the widget would be locked but we could add extra.

    Another example would be to use the flip card widget as a way to create a knowledge check or show images if certain combinations are selected.

  19. Localisation quiz

    There has not been any improvement to the localisation of quiz and score slides, on the contrary. Translation of the Default labels still has to be done manually which is weird for a new app in this world of AI. Moreover since you cannot export the Preferences, Default labels anymore, you have to repeat that translation for each project.
    The Press 'Y' in the second step of the submit process should also be translated automatically when creating a project in another language than the language of Captivate.
    In a modern application I would expect a choice for the project language…

  20. Allow overlay images (ie. click to reveal) expand to the whole overlay if there's no text element.

    At the moment, if there's no text element the image still remains small. If there's no text element, it should expand to take up the whole overlay.
