  1. Correct flicker when using effects.

    Currently when you apply an entrance effect (ie. EaseIn Left or EaseIn Right) to an object in Adobe Captivate the object displays in the final position for a split second before beginning the effect.
    The desired outcome is to not see the object until the effect begins to fade the object in. If the effect begins at the 0 second mark on the timeline and the effect fades and eases in left, you shouldn't see it until it begins to fade in.
    This issue occurs when viewing the project in HTML 5.

  3. 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. 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.

  6. Rename Text to Speech Audio Tracks

  7. 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

  8. 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…

  9. 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...

  10. 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…

  13. 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.

  15. Accordion Widget formatting

    Accordion should also allow:
    - formatting the text inside the accordion tabs content, as now you can only apply presets, but not add bold or italic to the content
    - more than one tab open at the same time as an option, or all the tabs to be open altogether
    - copy and paste appearance of tabs
    - include the tab text in the states, so the text can have different colours in each state

  17. 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.

  18. Bug: Icons in Click to Reveal don't properly change color

    When you try to change the color of an icon, any icon that is composed of one solid element, such as the heart icon, will change to the color selected. However if you chose an icon with separate elements within, such as the calendar icon, not all the elements within the icon change to the selected color.

  19. Drag and drop with forced navigation option

    I design training for a healthcare system clinical competency. Part of this training involves instruction on proper placement of defibrillator pads. Placing defibrillator pads incorrectly can reduce the effectiveness of the shock and potentially lead to harm to the patient. I previously submitted Case ADB-36997462-K9H6, explaining that I had created a drag and drop to simulate the proper pad placement process. However, there currently is not forced navigation with drag and drop that would allow me to require the learner to select and place the first pad listed before they can place the second. Is there a possibility that your…

  20. Play head on timeline always jumps to the right side.

    When I want something to appear on the stage and in sync with the audio I use the timeline. However every time I play the time line it jumps to the far right and makes it difficult to see the time and when I want a paragraph to appear on the stage. If the play head is in the middle of the timeline and I press play it should play from the middle of the timeline. But it immediately jumps to the far right and then makes everything difficult to time things on the stage. All other applications I have…
