Updated a Captivate 3 to 8 Captivate file

Hello

I have an old file created in Captivate 3.

I am now on 8 Captivate and formulated a hypothesis if I opened the file in Captivate 3 in Captivate 8 software would update the file so I could edit in Captivate (other software I use is automatically) 8.

This doesn't seem to work with Captivate and I hope someone can tell me how I can edit files of CP3 at the CP8.  I have more access to the CP3.

The file I have is a .cv file, but when I browse 8 Captivate for the file it is only looking for .cptx, .cptl, .cpvc.    YIKES!

Thanks in advacne to any suggestion you may have.

Thank you!

The extension of the Cp files replaced by cp cptx with version 5. Your version of 3 is 10, which means an eternity in the world IT. "other software"? Not an application with a complexity of Captivate, sorry.

If you want to update (that I will not recommend, because I'm sure that you'll spend more time trying to fix all the mistakes when creating from scratch), you will need an intermediate version (5 or 5.5) and do a two-step upgrade. Since CP5 AS2 is no longer supported, which means that you must first display files and exit all the objects of the AS2. Since you don't have access to the CP3, it will prove very difficult.

    CP8 AFAIK is not defined as compatible with Win10, only CP9 finds itself in this situation.

    There is a lot of animations on this slide? To be honest: Captivate is not the best converter PPT at all, why do you use for this? Is an e-Learning authoring tool, I would never that developed in PPT: you can use the assets of PPT as Fund of images, but please create animations in CP.  You use high fidelity when importing? Other slides look much more static.

  • How to download the update of Captivate (no ' Update' in the Help menu.)

    updates.png

    I want to update my Captivate, but there is no "update" in my help menu.

    According to the documentation, I click on "update" and I download the file.  But I don't see "update" in my help menu. (See the illustration).

    Install Adobe Application Manager from here and run it to check the updates. It must indicate the update available in Captivate. You can install it from there.

  • 8. do not open the Captivate files

    I lost so many hours on this today so I really hope you guys can help me! I have two Captivate 8 and 9 installed on my Mac and they both worked perfectly well even not later than yesterday. Now when I try to open a Captivate 8 he finished the process of opening with the exception of the file is not on the screen. The file is open (as in, I can't open in Captivate 9 as it is already open) I'm not.

    So here's what I know so far:

    I have tried several different files in Captivate 8 and all had the same problem.

    I tried the same files in Captivate 9 and they open smoothly.

    It seems that if the file opens "off screen" which I know can be a problem with Mac s when you use two screens as I am. I tried every single problem I could find for it but none of them have worked.

    When I open the Captivate 8 opening with recent docs screen shows fine. When I choose a file it has the file loading screen and I get even the message on some elements are not used, but after that there is nothing.

    I tried upgrading my operating system is all that far.

    I reinstalled 8 Captivate.

    I also lost my will to live.

    Please help me! Anyone had this before? How did you solve this problem?

    (I need 8 and 9 that I have clients who are still on 8 and some that are on 9)

    Hi Lilybiri, I have just finally he fixed after 8-10 hours to try everything! You were certainly on the right track with the issue of preferences. Cordially if someone else asks, I went to ~/Library/Preferences and deleted both the plist for captivate file and a folder called Captivate 8

    I had deleted the file yesterday but not the folder so it had not worked.

    Such a relief to work again! Thanks for your help.

  • Opening of a newer version of the Captivate file with an older version

    Hello

    Can someone explain the basic rule about open projects that were created with a different version of Captivate.

    For example - I work with version 5.5 and if someone sends me a project created with v7 or v8 or v9 (although there's a v9), I will be able to open them?

    Even - if I send to someone who has the v7, v8, v9, will a project I created with v5.5 - be able to open it?

    Thanks a lot for a (simple) explanation.

    ++++++++++++

    You can open a file created with an earlier version to a newer version, but you'll be never sure that it will work as expected, especially if you skip several versions. Answer to your second example is YES BUT!

    It is not possible to open a file created in a newer version with a previous version, has never been possible with Captivate files. Response to your first example is no.

  • You can embed audio and video in a captivate file?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    It's a pleasure. Thanks to the development of the issue.

    You don't have to get the audio files or viseo everywhere. Once you have inserted the files in Captivate, you need only to take the rest of the file .cptx files will remain in the project.

  • Optimization of captivate file for different screen resolution

    Hello

    I have a problem to optimize the file captivate for different screens such as laptop, netbook and pc. PC and laptops, this isn't a major problem, as the size of the screen is great. But when you play the swf file captivate generated in a netbook, the entire site gets resized to fit the resolution of the screen with the exception of the captivate file. Captivate file is truncated so that the user can read only half of the slide.

    Thanks in advance

    Parvathy

    One thing you can try is to manually adjust the dimensions of the swf.  I have not found a way to do in first grade.  We had a similar with a few eLearning problem, that we have built all our testers used very well.  But once someone undocked their laptop and turned their desktop monitor, had the same problem you describe, where the background of the film was cut.

    Once you publish the files, open the file .htm with Notepad or your editor of choice text/html.

    Look for a line that looks like this:

    var so = new SWFObject (strURLFile + strURLParams, "seduce", "1100", "798", "10", "#CCCCCC");

    or

    var so = new SWFObject ("filename.swf", "Captivate", "1600", "1200", "10", "#CCCCCC");

    Change these numbers quotes at 100%, like this:

    var so = new SWFObject ("filename.swf", "Captivate", "100%", "100%", "10", "#CCCCCC");

    Save the .htm

    My experience was it will adjust the swf to fit the height or the width of the screen, depending on which is more short.  In other words, it either will fill the top down OR sideways, but keep the swf in proportion.

    hope that helps.

  • Is it possible to set up a Vista account which can only download "microsoft updates" (that is, no other non-microsoft files can be downloaded or installed)?

    Hello

    Is it possible to set up a Vista account which can only download "microsoft updates" (that is, no other non-microsoft files can be downloaded or installed)?

    I know that you can create a 'guest account ' with essentially the rights of internet browsing. I would, however, allow for some more flexibility, such as if there are microsoft updates or antivirus updates, this account is permitted to accept these files. I fear that non-microsoft files such as google or yahoo toolbars settle.

    Thanks to anyone who can help us with that.

    There is no installation in Windows to allow this, and I can't say I've ever heard an Add on for Windows that would allow this.

  • updating automated metadata Essbase in RPD OBIEE file?

    Hello

    Anyone know how it is possible to update the physical layer of the RPD file meta data? Bottom line is that we have integrated several essbase cubes into OBIEE. One of the cube is updated on a daily basis and all levels generated in some dimensions can change daily. The idea is to reimport the essbase (physical layer, activities and presentation) metadata automatically after calculation of cube essbase has been successfully completed. But I found no documentation how to automate administration tool.

    So any advice would be great.

    Thank you in advance,

    Stefan

    If you set your "Type of hierarchy" in the physical layer to the 'value' it will work automatically as a child without any table (Essbase is already working with parent-child relationships, so no need for any additional table).
