• Convert a video demo in an interactive software simulation

  I recently created a video demo of long hours of a function of demand, which I cut up into convenient bitesized pieces. It took me forever...

  It was created with love and sure for what is said in the brief, I was given - but my memory has been mysteriously changed, and an interactive software simulation has therefore been requested. GRrrrrrrrrrr!

  I have a white fully draw on it, but is possible to convert a video demo in an interactive software simulation? It may be obvious, I can be stupid, or maybe there's not a way to do it at all, but any advice on this would be greatly received!

  No, Brendan, I'm sorry. An interactive software simulation will be a cptx project, while the video demonstration is a project of cpvc. You can use the storyboard, assets may be static if you added to the demo video, or using a part of the VO if you had them.

  A software simulation in Captivate is based on leaves, not video. You may want to use small pieces of the video when necessary. An example: to replace the blades FMR which are inserted automatically when you use scrolling or dragging in the simulation. Due to their poor quality, I mostly replace it with CPVC-slides, that you can create from our project cpvc and insert into the project main cptx.

• Software Simulation, default object Styles?

  I use Cap 9. Try out the features of the software simulation. Is it possible to apply a style to text objects that Captivate automatically adds the screens?

  I can't call them the text captions because they are not individual objects in the timeline panel. So far, they seem to be grouped into a single object that I can move individually and manually resize (required every time!). Be able to apply a style that would allow them to save a lot of work.

  Is there a way to do this?

  Are you sure these are legends, not forms? Because the two objects can be selected in preferences, check, default values. At this place, you will find also all the default styles for the registration of the software simulations. And you can easily navigate to the Style Manager object.

  If you want to change the style after the capture, you change to a legend (or form), then use the button of menu hamburger (top-right with three horizontal lines) where you can apply the changes to the existing style.

• How we prevent stop video capture on the software simulation mode

  Hi all

  I recorded a video of my software, a non-interactive tutorial ( software simulation mode and record mode: demo).

  My software has a debug window showing the values that change frequently.

  In my video, I would record this debug window and do some action on it (this window has a toolbar).

  Captivate correctly save the pointer of the mouse but when i, e.g. clicking a button of toolbar, Captivate adds a legend of text (rightly) but the video stops (the values on my watch freeze).

  How can I stop this behavior?

  Thanks in advance

  You can add static images in a video demo as well. Take a look at this (old) example that was performed using only the demo video:

  Simple to advanced standard Action in Adobe Captivate - YouTube

  Often, I will replace the 'old' FMR slides, still not well displayed in the HTML output by slides CPVC (short video slideshow). I stop recording software, in the project cptx choose the big button "Slides" insert a slide of demo, the recorder is opened and I save the CPVC slide. When you are finished, you can insert with the same touch of Simulation software slides etc. Advantage: you can open the editor video demo of each slide CPVC. Pan/zoom have a much better quality you can achieve with the workflow software sim.

• Impossible to hide objects in software simulation

  I create a software Simulation - demo (in Captivate 9). Originally, I tried to hide the mouse on some slides (but show on others). I clicked on the icon from 'hide' in the timeline panel. It worked for me, for all the other projects I've done so far, to date. At first, I thought it was just a question mouse (because it has a slightly different behavior than other objects), but I tried to hide objects on my slide (legends, boxes of highlight, etc.), and Captivate seems to ignore the option "hide" for those as well.

  This is the parameter hide that I refer:

  

  So far, I tried to save before preview, Captivate, restarted my computer, asking the help of Adobe.

  I want to emphasize: deleting the object of the mouse works (obviously). However, as I am always showing the mouse on the other slides, I would that these slides to have the movement of the mouse rely on the previous slide, which is not the case if I'm the Remove (the mouse starts from the upper left corner instead of the end position of the previous slide) so I would hide it instead of delete so that positions persist throughout the slide.

  The usual confusion!  Sorry for this exclamation, it is is not improved with the new user interface, because now this symbol of the eye is used for more than one use.

  There is a big difference between:

  1. Hide on the stage for the edition of the reasons: that's what makes the eye button in the timeline panel. This has no effect on the visibility of these objects when you preview or after publication.
  2. Hiding in the OUTPUT, this is what you need. In versions prior to 8, this was done by checking a box that says clearly that the object could not be visible in output. CP8 and 9 you must search another button look in the properties panel, the top of the page to the left.
  3. To increase the confusion: this same button eye also exist in the slid Panel &: here, it is intended to hide the links between sources of drag and target objects, has no effect on production, because these links are never visible output.

• Software Simulation lines random question on slides

  I work in Captivate 9 and I have a few slides in my project which are software simulation slides.  I used the slide button to start the software simulation.  When I saw my software simulation in Captivate in HTML5, it looks great.  When I post for others to look at the ReviewMyElearning, there are random lines that go through the slides.  I tried recording on different browsers and even on another computer, and nothing has worked.  These lines went away after I re-recorded, but are back once again after I cleared my cache for an unrelated question.   These lines randomly through the slides of simulation are only on the last few slides, and are in the same place on each of the relevant slides.

  Help please!

  You can check the preferences of project size and quality settings? Don't forget to uncheck the option "Advanced project Compression" and the "compress SWF file. Then publish again and check if the problem is still there.

• When you add a software simulation of a project through the "slides" the red box button record is not resized.

  Created a ppt project and want to add a software simulation as I have in the latest versions of Captivate.  But today the record red box will not resize enough great for my capture software. He suggested monitors duel was a problem, tried to disconnect and the problem remains.  All of the suggestions.

  It is attached to the resolution of the current project, you can not choose

  another resolution. Only for a new simulation of the project be registered you

  will be able to change the resolution. With the key slides that you insert

  blades in an existing project.

• Software simulations and next/or buttons not working not not on Moodle/Scorm cloud

  Hello

  I recently finished the responsive project in Captivate 8 and tested offline. It was working fine.

  But, when I downloaded the same web server, software simulations and next / continue button did not work. (Action has not been executed, when they clicked).

  Find the sample classes in the link below:

  https://cloud.SCORM.com/SC/InvitationConfirmEmail?publicInvitationId=81f2ba17-9743-49FB-80 d1-3922e11eca32

  LMS used for testing were cloud of SCORM and Moodle.

  I just took your course and it worked fine for me. I use IE9.

• Reagent blank screen software simulation - video .swf - during the published/Preview in browser

  Captivate 8.0.1.242 - Windows 7 64 bit

  I add a software simulation to my sensitive journey and I have few places where I drag and drop things. Captivate quickly added the drag and drop as transparent with video of him. The video format is swf. Now, all right until I have preview/publish. This is when the screen is blank and white. It is as if the slide work and when its time to move to the next slide, he does. All other slides is displayed correctly.

  Is this some kind of a compatibility problem with swf video and HTML5?

  I found a 2 year old post: help, videos play more after the publication

  But I don't know how the answers are for videos to swf format and also with the current version of captivate I use as these responses were to capture 6.

  Quick way, no. I always replace FMR slides video demo, but which is more

  work.

• Themes with software Simulations

  I created a theme in Captivate 8 for projects that I put together for the work.  I'm still essentially show Captivate myself, so I'm kinda stuck right now.  I created a software simulation (demo only).  I have all the slides exhibited the demo with regard to highlight boxes, captions, etc.  I basically want to take slide intro and conclusion of my theme/template and insert them into the simulation of software, but I can't understand how do without having to basically build slides from scratch once again.  Also, I used a free theme and tweaked to create one I want to use.  Ideas/suggestions?  Thank you!

  Glad we finally settled it. There is a lot that is not well explained or even not mentioned in the help documentation. I find mostly by trial and error and learned something of this thread. It is always marked unanswered. In case anyone else is looking for a solution to a similar problem, it is a good summary:

  When you create a custom theme, which should be used for courses that include slides of simulation software, never remove the master slide empty. That the master is used by the slides of the software simulation, it does not show the default master slide objects. If there is a background in the main slide, it is not used but replaced by the background that is captured. You will see that "project background" is checked, and the backgrounds captured are numbered and are in the library.

• Can I change the registration area while recording a software Simulation?

  I am a newbie of Captivate. Can I change the Red recording area after you start a software simulation of recording? A Simulation of scenario would be better? Can I get a slide after registration? I found nothing in the doc online or in other forums. Thank you for your support.

  Hi SteelcaseMark

  So that the Rectangle red record, while recording, you can move it to a location different screen if you wish, but you cannot resize.

  For the sizes of the slide, you can resize the entire tape, but are generally not a single slide. However, you do not have the option to replace the backgrounds for slides with different slides. So, theoretically, you can resize one.

  See you soon... Rick

• Video objects in software simulations

  I recorded a software simulation, and then a video demo separately. I published the demonstration video on the spot. I tried to upload this video as a "video object" in my software simulation. When I try to playback, the "video" object is right there. Is there some magical setting I'm missing to make it work?

  
  

  Thank you in advance!

  I just thought about it: there is an 'Auto Play' box that should be checked.

  

• Save a software Simulation without legend

  I want to record a software simulation, but I don't need these legends for a project.

  I went into Edition-> Preferences-> registration-> legends and add text captions uncontrolled. But when I record a software simulation, there still captions.

  What should I do?

  Hello

  And you save it in the same mode as the one that you have disabled text captions? This screenshot I unchecked for demo mode. During capture now in this mode, automatic, I don't have any text captions.

• software with captivate simulation 9

  Hello
  I want to do a simulation of software and when recording I make several clicks of the mouse to produce several slides,

  but I have only a slide after the end of the recording. I guess there is a bad parameter in my settings?

  Some of the techniques of advanced web programming cause Captivate Miss trigger events to capture a new slide.

  (I.e. different forms of AJAX, JavaScript libraries like BackBase, Rich Internet applications built in Flex & published as Flash SWF, Web sites as the old techniques used as plugins and obsolete HTML commands as redirects can all cause Captivate respond differently to these interactions.)

  The keyboard command using manual is the best way to ensure the capture of a slide, the default value is PrintScreen, but your system may have this change!

  I'm in the construction of several projects of test patterns by using different settings and techniques to capture to determine which provides the best results.

  For large projects, I stated that the purchase of a license to Captivate for a laptop to share with SMEs. I've been working with them to create a list of procedures and to teach them the best technique to capture the basic materials.

  We transferred while they captured on a shared drive, and I was able to copy the files locally for editing.

  When a new version of the tool was released while we were edit materials, the SME could again capture the procedures that had changed and I could copy captions to the file saved.

  It may not match your current project, but I however it should be mentioned on the forum.

• Captivate - create software Simulation - error

  Hello

  I recently downloaded the 64 bit version of this software and the program to make my first simulation software.

  I received the following error message:

  

  I went to the file, such as requested and I got an access denied when I tried to save it.

  Am using win 10 on a Surface of book and screen resolution is 2000 x 3000.

  Am an administrator on my computer, please advise how to solve this problem.

  Thank you!

  Look in the folder Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Captivate directory and you should find a text file called AdobeCaptivate.ini

  In this file, there is a parameter, you must change as indicated by the error message.  This setting allows to Captivate work with the screen high resolution.

  You can see that in order to change the setting, you need to first save a copy of the file on your desktop (or another folder outside of Program Files) and then make the change, save the file, and then copy the file in the Captivate installation directory to overwrite the original file.
