The ability to not have Black Bars on Video Slides when the video resizes
When placing a slide video in on the "canvas" it would be good to not have the video have massive black bars at the top and bottom.
Kind of makes the video aspect ration options irrelevant, when regardless of what you select there, the video has massive black bars on the top and bottom in a a 1:1 square

Ability to Import SRT File for Video Closed Captions
Why do we have to manually enter closed captioning for the video slide? Or, have to figure out a work-around by 'baking' closed captioning into the original MP4 file? It would be great to have the ability to import the SRT file and attach it to a video slide (whether as an event video or synchronized). And turn on/off the closed captioning when desired.

Open up the Bookmark-Overlay Option to include Graded Question Slides
It would significantly add so much if the overlay pre-built question slide could be either a knowledge check or a graded quiz that is reportable to the LMS. Using this feature in a final assessment (rather than the Preliminary/Introduction/Review portion of an eLearning course) could add some much dimension to an eLearning Final Assessment.

Drag and drop doesn't re-size correctly on smaller devices
Drag and drop doesn't re-size correctly on smaller devices. If you use it on a smaller phone, you can't see the drag options, only the drop boxes.

Add Closed Captions to pop up and object audio.
Closed captions should be available to edit in bulk or easily in some way. There should also be a way to caption object and pop up sound to be fully 508 compliant.

Add More Buttons. Need more than three (3) Built-In.
Currently the BUTTONS option is only three (3) buttons - need more. Our Learners/Employees need forced navigation. We want to use the built-in Buttons, but three (3) will not work. Minimum of Five would work well.

Bug: uploading non-zipped output results in blank screen
To provide a link (or to embed) such output, I always upload (Fzilla) to my domain. Here is an example:
https://www.lilybiri.com/published/BookmarkStates/index.html
This URL however will not open anything, there was no error reported, just get a blank screen (Edge/Chrome).
Another user reported the same problem in the Adobe forum.
Weird: when uploaded to the eLearning community where AWS required a zipped output, it works fine although loading time is too long for a 14Mb file.1 vote -
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.2 votes -
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.

Impossible to have a blank list on Default state
To have a list entering line by line, I often start with a blank default state of the list, than add custom states where a next bullet is added etc.
The easiest way is to fill the default state with the full list, than duplicate as many times as needed, delete lines on each state. At the end I want to clear everything on the default state but that is impossible.
Will provide you directly with a project with that issue.1 vote -

SVGs should not be cropped to the placeholder icon
When using the SVG media block, custom SVGs are always cropped to the form and size of the placeholder which is cicular or square. That was never the case when using SVGs in older versions, and is also not the case for bitmap images, which can resize to the placeholder. I create the SVGs in Illustrator, and of course I will lose the chosen font if I don't convert text to vectors. That I can understand, but not the cropping

Direct access to the Assets
That feature existed in previous versions. Now you can only access all assets from the popup when inserting an item which can use an asset and click on Assets. As already asked since Assets panel were introduced: allow to add personal assets. I often use Adobe stock for all Adobe applications but since we still have no access to the CC Libraries...sighing

Highlighting the search results from the TOC Search function
It would be great to have the function that the words I'm searching for in the TOC searching field would be highlighted on the slides. Like it would be if I'm searching in a PDF or with STRG+F.
My wishful thinking would be that you see a Preview of the sentence, where the word is included.

Allow to use different image types for buttons and widgets
I've noticed that only .SVG images can be used as assets for buttons and widgets such as the click to reveal widget. It would be a good idea to allows to use other file types like PNG for these assets. Normally, I just convert them to .SVG, but recently the LMS we use decided to no longer support images in .SVG format due to security reasons, so having other file type options would be very convenient.

timing
Support for timing. If a button, as an example, should not appear until the end of a video - there's no way to use a property/setting to change the timing for when the button should appear. Currently, the only way is to drag the beginning of the button manually on the timeline - and that is "buggy" if you have to drag beyond the time visible in the timeline. The timing properties should include Appear After (for when the item should start to appear) and the length of appearance (at least second-based; and for rest of slide values)

QuestionAnswerChoice buggy
Using this variable to create an interaction is not working at all, variable cannot be displayed neither. Is this linked with its type which is 'string'? In previous versions the variable cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice was very useful for many use cases.

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.2 votes
