  2. make textbox in Overlay of Click-To-Reveal widget adjustable in size instead of adding scrollbars..

    When adding text to the textbox in the overlay of the "click to reveal" widget, the system adds scrollbars. it would be more convenient and user friendly if the textbox could be adjusted in size. Also in proportion to the whole overlay container.

  3. 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).

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

    Fix a number of issues in the assets panel.

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. There could be an option to increase the thumbnail size, to better choose what you need.

    4. The insert process is way too slow, even with a good internet connection.…

  9. In All New Captivate - Simulation created should publish as scalable. Currently not scalable or responsive.

    With Captivate 12.5.0.35 Simulations created are not publishing scalable and are non responsive. Please make scalable publishing available (as in Classic).

  10. 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!

  11. allow text boxes to be resized

    text boxes are fixed width and cannot be resized to accommodate for other objects or portions of an image. this is completely restrictive. even text boxes that are inserted manually (vs choosing one of the very fixed slide templates) cannot be resized.

  13. 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…

  14. You should be able to adjust the settings of each device separately.

    You should be able to adjust all settings per device so you can ensure that designs looks good across all screens. I have found it pretty impossible to work with as it is at the moment.

    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

  16. 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!

  17. Create an "on screen" interaction trigger

    In projects with scrolling, we should be able to add interactions to when a block enters the visible screen. For example, when a character block is scrolled to, animations could be added to the characters and audio for the specific block could begin playing.

  18. Allow more than 6 images in an image grid

    It'd be great if we could add more than 6 images to an image grid. The ability to add an infinite number to a single grid would be helpful.

  19. 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:

    1. 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).
    2. The delivery sounds more…

  20. Allow text / caption boxes to be placed on top of other objects on the screen, like in Captivate Classic.

    It would be great to be able to place text boxes on top of video or image elements like we could in Classic. This helps call out specific things in a demo.
