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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

    hidden.PNG

    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.
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cut sections of a software simulation Captivate 7

    I am VERY new to Captivate...

    I have a software simulation which I'm currently editing. I need to cut portions of a clip where the trainer screwed up. I find a way to cut the audio but cannot figure out how to cut the section of the real item. Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    The slides you are here are normal, static slides. A FMR slide looks like this in the timeline:

    You can shorten a calendar on static slides, moving forward and backward delays. I see in this example that the clip is just beginning after 2 minutes! The text of the legend of the mouse object and select button also appear later. Select these 4 objects and drag them to the beginning of the slide (you can also use the accordion calendar if you want). Then you will be able to shorten the slide itself to the duration of the audio clip.

    Little old, but for the most part (except colors maybe in the screenshots) still valid advice: small timeline Tidbits - Captivate blog

    Timeline is the "core" of Captivate, try first to explore this Panel!

  • 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

  • Portege R700 - Malware with software pre-installed?

    I recently bought a Portege R700 - very well designed and built with an excellent specification. All is let down by the obnoxious behavior of collusion with Microsoft to send malicious software in the software loaded from Toshiba. It is absolutely inexcusable and unacceptable to load software that removes several times my IE8 homepage settings to replace it with MSN and the bling search engine. I hope I've stalked finally how to remove this MALWARE by editing the registry and delete the entries of thugs.

    (Especially from Toshiba) anyone know how I can ensure it is permanently deleted?

    Can someone give me a good reason why I should not report this behavior for the Commissioners of the European Union for violation of the antitrust settlement with Microsoft?

    I am completely disgusted.

    Hello

    To be honest, I never heard malware with software/OS preinstalled Toshiba or Microsoft.
    I m sure all software that will run are tested for the virus, malware, etc. so I put t think you have malicious software installed on your computer.

    I also use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba on my two laptops and all the settings, I've defined in IE8 or other programs have never changed.

    I recommend to install an antivirus program before going online.

    Hello Lascarica,

    I noticed that you are using the screw of PID. Gains on these screws are based on TIME instead of GAIN. You should be able to build a PID regulator and vary the gains and then compare the results.
