Adobe Captivate - Video & Executable Publish Options

In this Adobe Captivate QuickTip, I will answer the question what happened to Captivate’s ability to publish your CPTX projects as either video or as a stand-alone executable for Mac or PC. This tutorial is for non-responsive projects only as these two publishing methods are not compatible with responsive projects.

Adobe Captivate Draft Video Tutorials

I recently took a trip for vacation and it reminded me of the urban legend about me and Adobe Captivate Draft. A couple of years ago, when Captivate Draft was first launched, I took my iPad with Captivate Draft with me on vacation. I used the application to get some ideas into what eventually became an Adobe Captivate project. The problem with new software is that you don't always discover enough about the application to fully share all the details about that new software. Seeing how it's been a couple of years, and I was away from my desk for a week, I decided to revisit this app and how to use it. Here is my latest tutorial on Adobe Captivate Draft.

Shortly after the creation of this video, I realized I hadn't covered the process of getting your Draft files from your iPad over to your computer and into Adobe Captivate. Here is that process for you.

Hope you enjoy both videos and find benefit in them.

Replacing the Text Expand Icons in Your Captivate Responsive Design Projects

In this Adobe Captivate tutorial, I show you how you can replace the text expand icon used in your responsive design projects for something else. I used a grey icon of a book so as to match more eLearning designs, however, you are free to use whatever style you wish.

Download my expand icons if you would like to use them for free.
