  2. Set default ai voice

    I would like to be able to specify an AI voice as the default for all my new projects. And if I change the speaker during a project, then use that speaker until I ask to change from that speaker. At the moment every time I go to generate text to speech Captivate is defaulting back to the first voice in the catalogue.

  3. Hyperlink improvement

    Hyperlinks do not always work. Our policy link looks like this and Captivate 12 doesn't accept it: https://epm.azahcccs.gov/EligibilityPolicyManual/index.html#t=Policy%2FChapter_400_AHCCCS_Medical_Assistance_Programs%2FMA0413.htm

    If I convert it to a tiny UTL, that type of link does work. https://tinyurl.com/EPM413

  4. Add the option of using a Thumbnail image for the video before it starts playing

    The first frame of a video not always represent what the video is about. When using videos on Slide Video or the Video Grid, it would be good to have the option of having a thumbnail image displayed before the video starts.

  5. Accessibility Bug: The scrolling text area does not have a tab index

    The click to reveal widget forces a scrolling text box. This text box cannot be scrolled by a keyboard user, because there is no tab index on the box itself. It is also not clear that the text box is scrollable, because the thumb for the scrollbar is hidden until scrolling with the mouse. This box should be responsive on browser zoom and expand vertically to show the text, rather than cut the text off in a scrolling area. If it must do a scrolling area, that scrolling area needs the scroll bar thumb as an indicator, and also needs…

  6. Enabling a border around click boxes

    Having a border option available around a click box would greatly help when trying to draw the attention of a learner.

    Currently my only workaround is to create a highlight box, add a border to that, then place the click box over the top of it.

    Having to do this needlessly doubles up steps needed for a slide.

  7. When resizing objects, show the pixels measure.

    When objects are not mean to have their height automatically adjusted, it would be obvious and nice to see the measurement in pixels, either on the Visual Preferences panel or when close to the arrow cursor when dragging up and down.

    It would be also great to be able to customise the width and height of simple images and buttons in the same way.

    I don't understand why Captivate does not have a more advanced user interface like so many other Adobe products like Photoshop, Illustrator or even Adobe Express. This is so damaging to the product's reputation...

  8. Text block

    When long passages of text in a text block are included and you want to change or add something, the cursor jumps every time to the end of the text even though I clicked at the top. I then always have to scroll back up. The text should not jump every time I clicked inside or outside of the text block.

  9. Allow us to change the color of a text hyperlink

    In earlier updates I was able to manually change the color of clickable text links so that it matched my client's branding. It would be nice to have control over how these look, and it would be exceptional if the appearance of text hyperlinks was something we could add to the theme editor.

    Not sure what changed, but now I have to explain to my clients that this functionality was somehow removed, and we have to deal with ugly purple links instead of sticking to our brand colors.

  10. Add a way to keep the arrow pointer visible after the animation on a software sim.

    Currently, when the animation of the pointer is complete, the pointer disappears. There should be a way to separate the animation from the arrow graphic on the timeline so you can have the pointer persist on the screen until the end of the slide. This would be particularly helpful if you have audio over a particular slide on a simulation that is describing movements. You could then sync the movement with where it is mentioning it in the audio clip, but have the arrow pointer continue to point to the place until the end of the clip.

  12. Rename Text to Speech Audio Tracks

    Would like to be able to give audio a custom name, both in the timeline and when exported. "Text to Audio1" not very helpful.

  13. BUG: 12.5 Accordion Widgets broken in 12.6

    I have a project built in 12.5 with multiple accordion widgets that worked fine. After updating to 12.6, Captivate gives an error message "Something went wrong while content block insertion." and the widget is missing from those slides. For readability below, Slide A has the accordion widget built in 12.5 that I'm trying to get to work in 12.6.

    If I try to Preview the project from Slide A, after clicking to start, the window goes gray and it just says "something went wrong!" in small text in the top left. Starting the Preview from a different slide and navigating…

  14. Improve the branding blocks Header and Footer

    A few improvements that can be done in the branding blocks:
    - Implement the option of making it persistent, so if the user scrolls through the content, the header or/and footer stays frozen above all the content.

    • Ability to copy and paste the building blocks from one project to another, just so you don't have to remake all the configurations again in each of the projects. I have a dozen of projects that use branding blocks and need to build each one from scratch, this is annoying!

    • Include the header and footer in the Theme Editor, so when you apply…

  15. Being able to copy and paste images

    It would be helpful if images can be uploaded via copy/paste. Similar to how PowerPoint works, when an image is pasted onto a slide an image block is used. Also being able to copy images to reuse them without having to go through the file pathways to find the image source would help simplify and speed the process.

  16. Why can't you choose 1 image? The button icon shows a layout that you can not achieve.

    If you look at the WIDGET to add - it shows an image on the left, and copy on the right. The Design option does not allow for 1 image. I want 1 Image and copy to the left like the widget. Please fix!!!!

  17. Allow re-ordering of buttons in a button block

    It would be helpful if you could change the order of existing buttons that appear in a button block.

    For example -- I have a project with two buttons. I've already set up complex interactions for each button. Now, I want to add a third button to the same block. By default, the third button appears on the right, but I want it to appear on the left. There is no way for me to move it there. Instead, I have to re-do the buttons I've already created and programmed.

  19. Mouse Pointer Settings

    Allow for editing the color of the mouse pointer or include the one that looks exactly like a mouse on your computer. We want to be as realistic as possible and the mouse that looked most accurate in Adobe Captivate Classic is not available in the All-New version of Captivate. The closest looking one is gray, but there is no way to change the color of it to white.

  20. Add speed adjustments to the AI voices

    In other programs with AI voices, we can adjust the speed. The new voices are really good, but it would be nice to slow them down or speed them up depending on the need for a slide.
