You will notice that the slide is “see through” with a blurred background.Īny part of the slide (being used as the overlay) that doesn’t have any objects will “see through to the video. The preview below displays the point in the video slide where the slide overlay is displayed. Previewing in Captivate doesn’t display any slides with an interactive video slide, and the Preview Project feature will bypass all slides with interactive video, so a reminder to Preview “HTML5 in Browser”. When previewing a project with an interactive video, the preview needs to be conducted as an “HTML5 in Browser” preview. Overlay slides can not be incorporated in to the project like a normal slide, unless it is “Unlinked” as an Overlay slide and returned to normal slide status. In this example, Slide 3 is the overlay slide so it is smaller than the normal slides in the filmstrip view. These can be pointed out in the screenshot as displayed to the right here. The Overlay Slide will also display an icon below that slide, indicating that it is being used as an overlay slide. When a normal slide becomes an overlay slide, slide 3 in this case, the thumbnail size of that slide in the Filmstrip panel, becomes smaller than a normal slide. ![]() The Overlay layer on the interactive video slide (slide 2), and associated marker is used to determine when the Overlay slide is displayed. The timeline when using the interactive video feature in Adobe Captivate 2019 ![]() I will also bring to your attention on slide 2, the timeline has two extra layers appearing above the video layer. The 3rd slide is being used as the overlay slide. In the screenshot of the example below, the project is made up of 3 slides. The video is on slide 2. The duration of the pause is actually determined by the duration of the slide that is being overlaid. This creates a pause as the video is being viewed. The really cool thing about slide overlays is that you can create a slide, like you would normally, and then overlay that slide on top of the video. I’ll talk about the slide overlay feature first. Set bookmarks along the video in the timeline of the slide, which can then be directly navigated to.Create slide overlays that appear over the top of the video.The most notable thing about the interactive video feature is the ability to do two things This feature also makes sense, with video becoming a more prominent delivery option to deliver learning experiences. The interactive video feature is an awesome addition to Adobe Captivate’s already impressive list of features to develop eLearning. That has also the advantage of being easily transferred to other projects.With this first review of Adobe Captivate 2019, I wanted to focus on the Interactive Video feature that has been included as part of the update to Adobe Captivate. If you have only one or very little slides needing this action you could use duplicate Advanced actions, but I recommend using a Shared action if you need it more. Only one of the parameters will be different for each answer. It has three parameters, indicated in Bold. For the On Enter action of the slide you need only 'Disable SB_Next'. If you do not enable 'Retain state when revisiting slide', the Next button will return to its Normal state when re-entering the slide. If all my guesses are correct, I would create a shared action to be used for each of the answer buttons:Ĭhange State of TextBox to A two parameters, where A is the name of the state ![]() I suppose the answers are used as buttons, correct? Probably the correct answer has a score attached. Is that what you planned? If you hide that button, the layout of the fluid box may deteriorate. Delete its Rollover and Down states, and add a Custom state where the button is visible. But were is what you call the 'text box', which is a shape? In which Fluid Box did you put it? Is it the one having 'Please select an answer' in the Normal state?Īs for the Next button: how did you set up the fluid box at the bottom, where you have that Next button? Personally I would create the button but have the Normal state being 'invisible' to the learner, and disabled using the On Enter action of the slide. Indeed, Fluid Boxes make this a lot more complicated.
