However, in my experience developing eLearning using Adobe Captivate, I put the attention span of an adult learner at 15-20 seconds per slide. If the slide plays any longer, your learner will begin to fog out. If your slide contains some voiceover audio, a text caption or two and an interactive object controlling navigation (such as a button or click box), 15-20 seconds is perfect. Your student will have enough time to understand and absorb the content before moving on to the next slide.   Looking to learn Adobe Captivate 5? MORE >>

received an interesting email last week from a Captivate developer asking where imported audio was physically stored on the computer. She had edited much of the audio from within Captivate and needed to share some of the edited clips with team members in her office. Once audio clips are imported into a Captivate project, they are embedded within the project and are not stored externally. From the lower left of the dialog box, select Show object level audio so that you can see all of the project's audio files (even those attached to objects on your slides). MORE >>

When developing eLearning with Adobe Captivate, saving unnecessary clicks is always a goal. There are two objects on a slide and they appear as blue bars on the Timeline. I'd like the top caption on the Timeline to appear on the slide just before the 1.5 could also use the Timing group on the Properties panel to control when the caption appears on the slide. Assuming that the Playhead has been positioned on the Timeline, right-click the caption on the slide and choose Sync with Playhead. Looking to learn Adobe Captivate 5 or 5.5? MORE >>
