  1. Need to be able to scale video to fit slide. Basic 101.

    Unable to move the Video to the center of the slide and scale it. It does not scale, and it does not leave the top of the page, unless I add Top padding. But adding padding is not an option b/c it fills it black and it is unbalanced top and bottom. I can not delete the color behind the video.

  4. Add Ability to Lower Slide/Thumbnail Resolution to Improve Editing Time

    Currently the program is super slow, and it's frustrating sitting there waiting for thumbnails of slides to process before I can even click them. I wish there was a way we could lower the resolution of our slides/thumbnails (like how Adobe After Effects allows you to lower the resolution to 1/4 or 1/2 to enable faster editing).

    I don't need my slides and thumbnails to look perfectly crisp while editing and if they were lower resolution in the editor it might help me speed up my process.

    I use some animated GIFs as images, and in the thumbnails Captivate is…

  5. Playhead Not Accurate In Timeline

    This is especially noticeable when I've just added a new audio to the slide. I add the audio, press play on the timeline, and the playhead is frozen in place while the audio plays uncontrollably in the background. Eventually the playhead starts moving, but it's inaccurate. When the screen is frozen and the audio is playing, I have to just sit there and wait for the playhead to start moving. If I click anything before the playhead starts moving again, the program can crash or freeze.

    I've noticed the timeline is pretty inaccurate in general, and I have to time…

  6. Make 'Auto Fit Height' include manual Padding Inputs

    In previous updates, I was able to add my custom padding and then select 'Auto Fit Height' to ensure that the content would stretch all the way across the screen, but it still maintained my padding settings.

    Currently, when I check 'Auto Fit Height' and preview, it will remove any padding and press the elements super close together - making it a useless function because there's no breathing room on the page anymore. So what I'm doing as a workaround is manually adding tons of padding so the images/text look centered vertically on the slide. Please bring back the original…

  7. Persistant "clicked" state for click object in simulation after returning to the slide

    Currently in Captivate 12 simulation, clicking an object to go down one path, then returning to the original slide does not result in that item persisting in the "clicked" state. (My goal is to force the learner to click on every item, which will bring them to another slide and back, before proceeding to a feedback page).

  8. Get rid of the breaths in AI voices

    Real humans do pause for breaths, but professional narrators do so less, and professional productions edit it out. So why do AI voices need so many pauses where we hear a breath sound?

  9. BUG: Resetting Drag and drop widget objects states

    When the user clicks on "RESET" button to start a new attempt, the drag objects don't return to their "Normal" state, instead, they return to the "Dropped" state (picture attached after resetting shows objects that were dragged and return to dropped state).

    This is quite confusing.

    Also, the hover has an inconsistent behaviour when the mouse mover over the images, not always the mouse pointer is detected and make the objects flick between the normal and hover states.

    This widget is far from useful or complete with so many bugs and terrible responsiveness.

  11. Improve responsiveness in Drag & Drop

    The responsiveness in the Drag & Drop widget is inexistent!

    • The title and body text are on the top of each other in Tablet and Mobile mode
    • The drag objects get very small when they are images
    • The drag objects turn into numbers when they are text
    • If drag objects are text, even in desktop mode they will be on top of each other inside the drag area, so you can't drag them to another place
    • Using transparent images in the drag objects will make them crash
    • you can't configure the positioning of components properly, so the final result is…

  15. Text Box Functionality

    Make inputting text into a text box more responsive.
    I often find I am clicking a text box 3-4 times just to add or change text inside of a text box. Once I get into the text block I then need to click where I want the cursor to be, but it just unclicks the text block and I have to go through the process again. It's not difficult to click multiple times, but after having to do this to 50+ text blocks this simple little action can get very annoying very quickly.
    Maybe implementing a single click into the…

  16. We have encountered screen freezing issue in Captivate Quiz if there are some disruption/network disconnect

    We have encountered screen freezing issue in Captivate Quiz if there are some disruption/network disconnect. The learners are stuck in a question where options and submit button are disabled. Using Skip button is not a good resolution for us. We request at least these two features to consider Captivate as an authoring tool that meets our requirements:
    • Resume/Restart bookmark popup in LMS (Not only one of them)
    • Ability to add bookmark in Question screen timeline

  17. Bug on slide interaction

    I have created an If Condition that shows a text field if 3 checkboxes are ticked. If they are not ticked the text is hidden.
    Here's the issue:
    When entering this slide and ticking the correct boxes the text stays hidden - BUT when going to the previous or next slide and then back to this slide the text is shown.
    Is this a bug or am I doing smth wrong?
    I also tried it with making the "hide during publish" but that's not working at all with the needed conditions.

    Please help me, thanks!

  19. Complex calculation expression

    I have what i thought was a fairly simple calculations I wanted to set up and unable to do in Captivate 12. I have three variables, TotalBounce, Q1 and Q2. I want TotalBounce=Q1 + Q2. I cannot make this work with the current expression since that only allows an add, subtract, multiple, or divide a value of a variable by a number (not another variable).

  20. Improve the Accordion Widget with enabling next button after navigation

    Implement the possibility of only making the "Next" button visible after the user has navigated all or some of the tabs. Or at least, that we can assign interactions to its tabs buttons so we can turn visibility of buttons or work with variables.
