  3. Images on blocks do not have same properties as background images on slides (or image media block)

    When setting an image for the background appearance of a block, you lose the ability to set transparency, blur, brightness and contrast.

    4. Click the arrow next to Solid Fill and select 'Image'

    RESULT: No ability to set transparency, blur or brightness and contrast
    EXPECTED: Ability to set transparency, blur, brightness and contrast

  4. Have more standard timeline interface

    Make timeline behave like timeline in Premiere and every other professional application with a timeline. Current timeline is more inline with amature consumer applications like ClipChamp. Only easier to use for people unexperienced users. For professionals it is hard to understand, time consuming, mouse heavy, and extremely non-intuititve.

  6. Add GIF as a supported filetype for Image Background on the slide

    If you use a media block, GIF files are listed in the filetypes dropdown. However, if you use 'Image background' for the slide, GIF files are not listed in the filetypes dropdown. If you manually enter the path to a GIF, they import as expected.

  7. The matching interaction, in the file provided, is not scored and all future interactions do not work.

    The matching interaction in the file provided is not "scored" and any interactions in slides that appear after that slide will not work.

    1. Download this source file (I can't seem to upload the file on this site): https://envolvemedia.adobeconnect.com/pnqc0q44ne9s/default/Challenge2.zip
    2. Open the .cpt file
    3. Publish
    4. Browse the files manually open the index.htm and/or upload the resulting ZIP into an LMS. Do NOT just "preview".
    5. Answer all of the questions RESULT: After answer question 4 (the matching slide), it shows you answered correctly. But it doesn't actually score that question (if you delete questions 5 and 6 and publish again, you'll see what…

  8. Bug - Shortcut to move blocks

    It would be helpful to move bocks with the arrow up and down. As a default shortcut, it could be Alt+UP and ALT+Down. The drag and drop feature is not always efficient.

  9. Correct Help page

    Help page is very confusing. There are some typos (like instead of link). It also indicates that you can add reporting to THE WIDGET whereas Reporting is only available for the components on the Overlays. The fact that Reporting is almost always past the bottom of the monitor and needs scrolling is not very helpful.

  10. Reorder interactions

    When I select a step in my interaction (Advanced Action) I cannot reorder this step to be the first of all my actions using either the drag and drop method or the reorder up button.

  11. Allow W and H fields of Custom to actively change as you manually size an application window.

    When recording a software simulation in CpC, the width (W) and height (H) fields in the Snap to: Custom Size option actively change when manually sizing the application window. This allows us to visually verify the size of the application window. In new Captivate, the W and H fields in the Size: Custom option remain static when sizing the application window. (Note: Due to an application / Citrix issue, we have to manually size our application windows when recording software simulations. Simply entering the dimensions in the W/H fields does not work.)

  12. Multi Slide Synchronized Video

    This is an issue with Classic Captivate that I discovered with a client. When I select a video that is set to span across several slides and edit the transition markers between slides, I cannot change the duration of each slide as I was able to in the past.

  14. Allow for cropped views of cutout characters in Asset Store

    I was using the single and two-character media blocks and realized that I could not select a cropped view of the characters like I could in previous versions of Adobe Captivate. I know I can crop these images after but this was a nice feature.

  15. Ability to hover as a way to proceed on a slide

    Ability to hover over an area on screen to proceed on a slide like you could before Flash went away for Adobe Captivate. This would only be for courses viewed on a desktop. Many simulations have hover actions.

  17. Bug - Short Answer question slide is broken if you include a quotation symbol " in your answer

    I had a short answer question where the answer was "1"=20'" and I kept getting a "Something Went Wong" error. After recreating the question several time, I eventually started going one character at a time to see if there was an issue with the answer. As soon as I removed the quote symbol the question began to function as intended.

  18. Feature request: quiz component missing

    Right now, including a working quiz is only possible by using a Quiz Slide. For one-page scrollable courses this somehow works by building it with components (paragraph, option box, button, reporting + including in quiz/points), but takes time and is limited.

    More options are missing to share points and set correct answers easily.

    It would be great to insert a “full quiz” interactive component, same as by inserting full quiz slides.

  19. Delete unused items

    Deleting unused items keep the source files smaller and makes it efficient for the Captivate app to handle large projects. Please, bring back this useful feature from CP2019.
    In the attached image, you will notice the significant difference between the file with unused items and without those items.

  20. Radio / Checkbox not showing as selected in Captivate Classic

    I noticed today that the radio and checkbox buttons are not showing as selected with my course using the Safari browser. I suspect this is a bug.
