  1. Typewriter bugs

    When applying an Entrance Typewriter animation on more than one text in a slide, and the texts are staggered on the timeline, only the first animation will appear. Sometimes it will only appear if the first text starts from the first frame. If you delete the animation on the first text, and keep it on the second text which appears later the animation never plays. It is a rather inconsistent bug, which I explored with multiple slides, Text Blocks and Media Blocks containing text components.

  2. Bug - drag&drop horizontal layout offset on all devices

  4. Vimeo video and caption controls not available.

    Embedded video from Vimeo using the video object has no controls. I'd rather not enforce the user to have to sit through the whole video again when returning to a slide to make a different choice. I'd also like them to have the option see the captions already uploaded and managed in Vimeo.

  9. I just started testing the updated Captivate Classic. Why was the Preview next 5 slides removed?

    In the updated Captivate Classic, the Prevew next 5 Slides option is no longer in the Preview drop-down. Why was that removed? If I have 100 slides and I want to check the timings on slides 90-95, I don't want to preview the entire project and try to guess where to click to start my preview. I can't preview just one slide at a time if I am checking the timings when switching from one slide to another.

  10. Print slides, text, and closed captions to Word like in Classic

    We use the Print feature in Classic to keep documentation of courses (slides, text captions, slide notes) for review by SMEs and auditors and for record retention. The export function in new CPT does not capture enough information. I'd like to be able to open a Word doc and see the slide, then under it all the slide notes and text captions like you can in Handouts in Print in Classic.

  11. Allow customization of alignment and spacing properties for different responsive views

    Similar to how we can set different font sizes for desktop, tablet, and mobile views, I would like to be able to set the parameters of the Alignment and Spacing pane for each view - desktop, tablet, and mobile.

    By default, they should all match (i.e. when I set the parameters for the desktop view, those carry over to tablet and mobile) but I would like the option to set different widths for content on tablet/mobile views.

    On desktop, I may have an image background, so I have the text content fit into 60% to allow users to see the…

  12. Allow DIVs

    As of now, you can select blocks that have two columns for text or an image on one side and text on the other....Just as in wordpress, you should allow DIVs to create columns or rows so we can divide a page into sections and then put whatever elements we want into each section. This is perfectly responsive and is used in a lot of web page development. It would give immeasurably more creativity for design!

  14. Importing OAMs

    Due to the 'renewed' terminology the word Animation is now used for the former Effects. However you'll never have the power of real animation tools in Captivate. I used to import OAMs created in Animate, and animated GIFs created either in Photoshop or in Animate. Please give use that feature back!

  15. Improve click-to-reveal widget

    Click-to-reveal widget is basically unusable as-is. The amount of text you can fit is very short and the placeholder frame doesn't expand to accommodate it, even if you remove the image/title. What you end up with is a tiny sliver of text in a much bigger box, with an equally tiny scrollbar. The pop-up window should ideally resize to fit text (within reason) but in any case, removing components like title/image should increase the space available for body text.

  16. 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)

  18. Link javascript file to project

    Include an option to link an external javascript file to a Captivate project. In Cp 12 in particular such a link would be good in the "Project properties" under PUBLISH SETTINGS. An external js file would allow a sophisticated use of moderrn JS within a project. It would also go along well with the concept of ADD JAVASCRIPT CODE TO THE PUBLISHED HTML AT RUNTIME, formulated on https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/captivate/help/javascript-interface-adobe-captivate.html.

  19. Add functionality to the New Captivate to export a single MP3 file from multiple slides

    The previous version of Captivate allowed for a single MP3 file to be exported from multiple slides, each w/ individual MP3 files (i.e., "podcast"-like file). Is this on the radar for New Captivate? It's my primary use case and very disappointing that it's not available.

  20. Allow text entry boxes to be fully customizable like Captivate 2019

    1. Allow auto submit w/o needing to hit Enter or Submit
    2. Allow TEB height to be adjustable
    3. Allow padding to be adjustable so I can use bigger text size without making the box taller
