Captivate 5 - Audio import questions

Similar Questions

• Audio imported slows or repeats

  Well, here I am again... upgraded to Captivate 3 on a powerful desktop computer and I have the same audio problem, I had with Captivate 2 on a laptop. What is the secret to importing WAV or MP3 files so they don't slow down or repeat on each slide?
  
  Audio files were recorded in a studio and released as AIFF files. I convert them into WAV and MP3 and have tried different settings for the conversion and in Captivate when publishing. Nothing works...
  
  If I use MP3 files in Captivate, they come out slightly slowed down when published (no matter what setting I use), so that the narrator's voice dropped an octave and speak more slowly than the original audio file. If I use WAV files and post them, they seem a lot, but the same audio file is repeated on every slide, any audio, I had placed on the slide.
  
  Can anyone help? I asked this question before, and no one seemed to know what I was talking or could not provide a solution. How in the world anyone has audio of Captivate to play correctly when published?
  
  Thanks (and crossed our fingers).

  I think I solved this problem. The culprit seems to be not to maintain the same rate of encoder and sample rate when converting between audio file formats. I started with AIFF files with a sampling frequency of 48,000 kHz. I retouched as needed and then re-recorded (always as AIFF files) to a sample rate of 44.100 kHz. I used Final Cut Pro to do it, but any good audio editor will work (WavePad is an inexpensive and very good choice on Windows platform). Then I standardized audio and reduction of noise applied using WavePad (essentially by applying additional filters to make the best sound file), and then resaved the file as an MP3 file, with a flow binary Constant of 98 kbps (do not use Variable Bit Rate... Captivate can not handle it... It's one of the things I found led to idle audio or audio repeats). I also used a parameter that is the MP3 Mono file (my original files were stereo but Captivate doesn't seem to like stereo). So now, after you import the MP3 file in Captivate, do not use the Captivate audio editor to turn down the volume or edit audio. It also seems to cause audio problems when publishing. I do everything for the audio file outside Captivate first. Now, when you're ready to publish, be sure that your audio export Captivate is 44,100 kHz 98 kbps (that is, it matches exactly what are your MP3 audio files). So far, it has solved the problems of audio slowdown or repeat an audio file across multiple slides.

  I also found that instead of files MP3 with WAV in Captivate files causes major problems. I know it's weird because when you import MP3 files in Captivate, they are converted into WAV files then converted into MP3 when released. Go figure.

  It seems that nobody at Adobe or to one of the experts here on this Forum have never run into this question, because nobody had even a suggestion for how to resolve this problem. Odd. It happened whenever I used the feature to publish in Captivate 2 and now 3. It took me hours to try variations of each possible encoder, file format bit rate and sampling rate to finally find some that caused no problems for the Capitvate. The folks at Adobe had to spend some time 4 Captivate ensuring audio import and export functions are more stupid and can manage the files without any problems that occur. Not everyone is an audio wiz.

• iDVD questions-iTunes audio import missing link. try to download the playlist. allow me just to download a song

  iDVD-itunes link missing in the area of audio import. you try to download playlist for slideshow.  any suggestions?

  What system do you use?  Where are you located library?

  I have the same problem with 10.11.5.  He has not tried it with the previous 10.11.4 system.

  The only solution I found is to drag your iTunes folder in this Media/Audio iDVD pane. You can access the tracks there by the artist.

  
  It's the best we can do as iDVD is on his death bed.

  

• Captivate 8 audio will interrupt the beginning

  I use 8 Captivate and across multiple slides (especially at the beginning of the presentation) the sound is cut at the beginning once the rate published on the LMS. I deselected the compression options and I added some time before and after the audio clip, but he always gets cut. If the user plays the entirety of the presentation and 'rewind' or he plays again, the sound is fine. Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?

  If the 'silence' that you added has been done through the Captivate Audio dialog box then it will be pure silence without no audio at all and will just get cut by Captivate again.  (Weird question plaguing Captivate for all time).  You must ensure that the silence at the beginning or end of an item is NOT pure.  The best thing to do is copy some "dirty silence" of some one break in the Middle same clip and paste that in the beginning or the end of the clip.  Given that this silence is not pure and has at least some audio data at low altitude, Captivate will leave him alone.  That could help the part of your question.

  Another thing is to ensure at least a Virgin without objects or audio slide at the beginning of your project.  NEVER start a project with a slide that must have audio play immediately.  Captivate seems to enjoy a blade full of second, or to put in place BEFORE playback of content.

• Soundflower does not not for many of us with 8 Captivate (no audio not recorded)

  Sorry if I shouldn't be reposting this. However, I think it's a very important question and I'm afraid, that it can be buried inside the Audio/Video discussion.

  I spent over 2 days on this and summarize my findings here: recording system Audio - need help Adobe Expert by Communication with Soundflower device

  I still chat with Adobe Support; but will tomorrow.

  I called Adobe Support and received a solution (not optimal, but fine for my needs of audio recording system).

• Audio imported cuts in the publication

  This is a new (for me anyway!)

  Normally I record and edit all my audio to the presenter, but I'm working on a course where I use audio imported on the slides. Import went well. I did my editing in presenter, who went well, as expected. I added our company standard.5 second of silence at the beginning and end of each slide. All great.

  But when I publish it, the last second or two audio at the end of the slide is getting cut off, in the reading.

  Normally, I would have all the bullets during the click on the narrative and the audio should be synchronized to the top, but in this case, because the speaker is talking about bullets rather than read them Word for Word, I chose to not to have all the animations on the balls, so everything happens at the same time and then the sound plays. That's when I noticed the problem.

  I tried to place the chip on each slide 1 as 'after' then bullets 'with', but not joy. I also tried setting all the balls in 'on click' and have them enter this second half of silence before the start of the audio, but which is not solved the problem no more.

  Any ideas?

  Some photos in the dark:

  Try adding 2 seconds of silence at the end of the slide and see crime if cela help/hurt/does nothing.

  Try to change this audio file in another program (Audacity is free) and add as the second desire.5 of silence there re - import the audio. See if that makes a difference.

• Audio imported not PP chronology. MP4

  I'm getting horrible I'll have enough of these problems with CC2015. Here is the problem today.

  Audio does not matter in my calendar. I use two types of video clips... MP4 and .mxf. I used these clips of the YEARS without any problems.

  I'm on CC2015, all updates.

  Windows 7

  I7

  Quadro 4000

  24 GB ram

  Here's what's happening. I import a clip in the project Panel. Then I drag him in the timeline and audio does not matter. I double click on the item in the project Panel and he plays WITH the audio in the source monitor.

  The only way I can get the audio in the timeline panel is to take the clip in the project Panel and make its own sequence. Make my cut and then cut and past the clip in the main timeline. Can I get audio and video.

  What the hell is happening? How can I work for years without this problem and suddenly is that the only way things work?

  PS. If I drag the clip directly in the timeline of the hd on which it is recorded, audio imported. If I can remove the timeline and then try and drag it from the project don't sign... no audio plus.

  I deleted all the Cache files of the media directly from the Solution Explorer and leave everything again in line. I rebooted a hundred times, I cleaned the cache directly from first, I imported the footage into new projects... but now, each project behaves in this way...

  I'm tired of wasting DAYS trying to understand the problems with this software.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

  I can create a camtasia file to show what is happening.

  Usually its all in the correction of the source.

  

• Photoshop CS6 on Surface Pro 3 won't play no audio imported into the timeline.

  Well enough as the title says: I hear no audio imported into a chronology in CS6 on my Pro 3 of Microsoft Surface. I have Photoshop CS6 installed on my desktop PC and on my Surface Pro 3. Both play very well outside Photoshop, audio and audio plays fine within Photoshop, too. No idea why I have problems with the CS6 on my Surface?

  I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop, and the problem is now resolved. No idea how, but * shrug *.

• Is it possible to turn the dilemma 2 projects (.2qn file extension) in Adobe Captivate 8 projects? I tried to save the embarrassing situation in a text file, but Captivate wouldn't import correctly.

  Is it possible to turn the dilemma 2 projects (.2qn file extension) in Adobe Captivate 8 projects? I tried to save the embarrassing situation in a text file, but Captivate wouldn't import correctly.

  Hello

  I've never seen such a method. I think you will find that you must simply recreate your dilemma inside Captivate project and forget all means of import.

  The only thing that comes to mind would be to import the project dilemma in PowerPoint. (Assuming that such a thing exists) then import the PPT in Captivate. But you wouldn't be able to make everything connect.

  See you soon... Rick

• No audio imported after the first clip

  I have been dealing with this problem for about 3 weeks now. I can import the clip with audio when I import the first clip, but eventually all the clips have no audio imported into the project.

  It's weird. I have not found someone online with the same problem. I use Pro CC first.

  I'll probably have to delete the application and reinstall it, but I was hoping that there is an easier option.

  There are two messages. Don't know if they will help you. I thought I've seen messages like yesterday and the day before. The links do not look like they will work, but they are a copy / paste of the browser window.

• Breeze Presenter 5 - Audio import works is not in windows 7

  Hi all

  We currently use presenter Breeze 5, audio import feature does not not in the machine of windowns 7. But it works fine in windows XP machine. Can someone help me on this page or any suggesstion?

  Thanks in advance

  Sajjad.

  Well, there is no such thing as the Breeze or Breeze presenter. The products were renamed years to Acrobat Connect Pro and Adobe Presenter. Acrobat Connect Pro 8 is purchased as a hosted service or your own server. Adobe Presenter 7.07 is the last and Adobe Presenter 7.05 was the first version to support Windows 7. We recommend 7.07 as the latest version and you can buy this version. I don't think there is a upgrade price to move from 5 to 7. You would have to buy version 7.07 presenter.

• Captivate background 8 audio buttons disappear after audio import

  Whenever I try to add background music to a project it is important to the audio and then this screen will appear.  You will notice that the pop-up background sound does not have the two buttons on the lower right corner that says 'Save' or 'Cancel '.  There is literally on this screen and I can't go out or save somehow, I always have to restart the project and he never adds the background sound.  Is this a bug or I do something wrong?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  

  I just found the solution.  In the management of the Audio, if the box show object level Audio, then the buttons save and Cancel will does not appear.  By simply unchecking this box I was finally able to apply background audio-only lose about 10 hours of work around the process.

• Incomplete Audio import

  I have recently started to experience an error in the video that I recorded using Livestream Studio software loses audio when imported for first CC. The audio plays fine in VLC or any other media player, but when they are imported at first, the sound disappears after about three minutes and did not return. There is none of the waveforms after this point, it is just missing. We have videos with this software registration and edition of these records for the years without a problem, but this issue only started to occur no later than Monday. No settings have changed in this time I can say. I deleted and rebuilt the cache, but the same handful of files the same problem persists.

  What I know, is that it is limited to this machine, as we have to import it on another machine and audio play fine - but it is not a machine that I can work, is without object.

  What could happen, and what I could do to fix it? The files in question are registered to 75 MB/s in the form of avi file on our Livestream dedicated and then moved to this PC machine and imported from there.

  Hi Slooh,

  Probably, these clips are captured in a variable framerate.

  I suggest you tarnscode or convert these clips to a constant framerate using any 3rd transcoding application part.

  https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

  After transcoding, import the video into Premiere Pro and observe this issue.

• Captivate 8 - "Audio" in the context of a fast action is not playing audio

  Hello. I was hoping you could help me, because I can't understand why what I'm doing doesn't work.

  I have a slide where I explain the answers to a game earlier in the captivate. Each question is a hyperlink that runs a tip action. This action is currently a set group of objects (box highlight to hide the rest of the screen) and two boxes with text captions. From the top of each box has a red X that I use as a button. Clicking this button launches a tip action that hides everything simply all these objects.

  The screen without a caption box:

  

  The screen with a caption box:

  

  My calendar:

  

  I try to add audio to the text explanations, but cannot get the sound to play. I edited stocks advanced for hyperlinks read 'H1 Show' (objects grouped for that matter) in the first line and "Play audio H1.wav" in the second line. I also changed the advanced actions related to the red Xs 'Hide H1' and 'Audio triggered Stop. "

  

  

  Unfortunately, when I do that, the sound does not play. My limited knowledge of captivate, update the advanced actions on what you see above should cause an audio file specific to play when they click the hyperlink and the beep to stop when you click on the red X. Currently, the audio does not play.

  Does anyone know what I have neglected to make it work correctly?

  Thanks a lot for the answers.

  It must indeed work, don't have time to test and do not immediately see the problem.

  However, would it not easier to fix this audio clip text in the Hx group? He will play only when the group is displayed.

  Update: I tested this out in Captivate 9, with the example, I created for the blog: play with Captivate 9 - Captivate blog

  It works perfectly for me: I added an order of audio playback to the joint action, I used to show the lightbox and stop triggered audio to the action of the close button.

  I have test browser both browser HTML to check if it works for output SWF and HTML. For such an order, that I never had the experience that I should have to publish to make it work, maybe I'm lucky.

  It's common action, I used to change the State instead of display Lightbox, the Show action is for the close button.

  

  For the close button:

  

  Sorry that I could not test it on 8.
