  2. Allow the Timeline to be moved away from the stage to make screen management easier.

    In previous versions of Captivate, I was able to grab the timeline and place it anywhere I wanted on my monitors. I could then see the stage and timeline all at once. It was much more efficient.

  3. 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.

  4. Offer a new speech agent option of Paul Wilson's voice (Adobe Captivate Virtual Training instructor)

    Offer a new speech agent option of Paul Wilson's voice (Adobe Captivate Virtual Training instructor). His voice is very easy to listen to! A lot of the text to speech voices are very robotic sounding.

  5. Course loading progress indicator.......

    When a user starts a course, it would be helpful to show a loading progress indicator in the browser to show that the course is loading. In Captivate 12, there is only a blank screen. There is nothing to show the user that is something is happening until the course finally loads and is displayed.
    I have attached 2 files.
    1. Captivate2019 which shows the loading progress indicator
    2. Captivate
    12 which just shows a blank screen in the new Captivate version.

  7. Ability to undock panels.

    Would like the ability to undock and move the timeline panel, or any panel, to a custom location on my screen or to a separate display. Currently, I can only view Captivate on one monitor and when the timeline is expanded I lose a lot of screen real estate. In Cp Classic, I could undock and move the timeline, library, and many other panels wherever I wanted and save that layout for future projects.

    Allow the Captivate project to be exported as a PDF, so learners could print all slides and retain a copy of the presentation.

  9. Align text and button horizontally

    I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I've been trying to get a line of text and a button aligned horizontally (text with button NEXT to it, NOT underneath). It's impossible. Even with a design template that shows horizontal alignment (see screenshot) - it just doesn't work. This is really frustrating; it's such a simple thing but impossible in Cp 12 (I have the latest 12.4).

  10. Need ability to normalize audio for an entire project at once

    I calibrated my microphone but the resulting audio on a simulation project was much too quiet. I want to normalize the whole project at once, not one slide at a time. I watched this video for Classic and can't seem to find parallel menus in the New Captivate. https://youtu.be/cCGwh78J3-U?si=XgXmBqghTNFaLFD5

  11. be able to copy paste from another project

    In 2019 Captivate, you can copy/paste an entire slide or section of slides from one project to another. You don't seem to have this option in the new version. The clipboard doesn't seem to work across projects. This would be very helpful.

  13. Replace old audio file in project asset with new

    When I want to use an updated audio file that I have saved under the same file name as previously used audio file, Captivate doesn't replace the old one (at least not in the timeline). I have to save the updated audio file under a different file name. Small detail, but in other Adobe products (e.g., Premiere Pro), I replace the old file with the new one (same name) in the source folder and voila - replaced in my timeline...

  15. make preview match what I see in Captivate

    When I am creating slides in Captivate and go to preview them, often what I see on the preview is different than what i see on the main Captivate screen. This is extremely frustrating. See attached pics. Why are they different?

  16. Adjustable width of videos

    In the last version of new adobe it was possible (even if it was not that easy to do that) to adjust the video to full sclae of 16:9 without the black boxes around it. Now it's not possible anymore since the newest update...something wrong here?

  17. responsive design - Complaint:

    I find it incredibly irritating that I can’t create my eLearning content in a non-responsive format. Transitioning to the new Captivate has been difficult, especially when it comes to using my own templates. I struggle with placing titles and buttons where I want them.

    Additionally, I would appreciate guidance on creating custom templates. I’ve searched for videos on this topic, but most only showcase the default themes in Captivate. A tutorial specifically focused on custom templates would be extremely helpful.

    Furthermore, the Table of Contents needs to be updated to allow for the addition of brand colors and fonts, as…

  18. Revisit button functions on results slides

    After the recent Captivate update, buttons on the results page are not behaving as expected. If users get to the page and choose to review their quiz and then get back to the results page, the continue button no longer performs its action. Another thing that I noticed that I hadn't before, if a user fails their quiz it might be helpful to only provide the review button after their final attempt. If users select the review button before they retake the quiz, the retake button disappears on revisit to the results page. On one hand this is good to…

  19. Select multiple question slides and change common properties all at once

    In the previous version of Adobe Captivate, we were able to select multiple question slides and change properties common to all the question slides. For example, if I wanted all my question slides to have two tries instead of one, we used to be able to select all the slides and make this change. Now I have to make these changes one by one.

  20. Allow option to retain closed captions when replacing slide audio

    I may tweak a small aspect of my slide's audio and upload a new version to the slide. Doing so currently (in 12.4) removes my existing captions, forcing me to redo every caption on that slide.

    It would be nice to have a pop-up that asks if I want to retain or delete existing captions when changing the audio file.
