Captivate 9 Features
- 1. Captivate 9 Features Adobe Captivate is an electronic learning tool for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X which can be used to author software demonstrations, software simulations, branched scenarios, and randomized quizzes. With new Adobe Captivate 9, the user can go seamlessly from storyboarding to responsive eLearning design. There are more than 25,000 assets that you can make use of to enrich your content and make your courses run seamlessly across desktops and mobile. New-Asset Store with More than 25,000 Assets Draw on the newly minted library of 25,000+ assets including games, interactions, layouts, scenarios, people cut-outs, and much more, to dress up your courses.

- 2. New- Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) support Create high-quality projects with vector images that scale across devices and sizes with no loss of quality. Define complex shapes and bring them into Adobe Captivate, as SVG graphics. Convert them to auto shapes and use them as buttons or feedback captions. Roundtrip with Adobe Illustrator CC to edit the images. The images are automatically added to the library, and can be re-used across projects. New- Knowledge Check questions Keep learners on-track with informal checkpoints embedded in your course. Include knowledge check questions to help learners pause, think, and consider before they move on to more content or assessments. Provide option-level feedback to learners for greater understanding and retention. New- Adobe Captivate Draft Convert your ideas into storyboards complete with eLearning elements such as content and question slides, branching logic, and more. Create storyboards in minutes using the all-new app, and share them for real- time, collaborative reviewing on the cloud; reviewers do not need to have either the app or Adobe Captivate. Simply import your storyboards into Adobe Captivate 9, and publish them, to seamlessly generate responsive projects. With draft you to create your storyboard all right within the app and provides a lot of functionality. You can add slide objects and modify their properties like the size and fill color. You can even add hotspots and questions slides. When you’re finished creating your storyboard you can save it to Creative Cloud and open the storyboard file directly into Captivate 9 and add full development.
- 3. New- Multistate objects Power up your eLearning with less elbow grease using object states on steroids. Improve retention by enabling learners to interact with objects in ways never seen before. Make complex workflows achievable with just a few clicks by triggering an unlimited number of custom or in-built states, for each object, including smart shapes, images, text, buttons and more. Easily edit states using the States timeline. New- Interactive slide shows with multistate objects Easily loop multiple states of an object to create interactive slide shows without having to create multiple slides. Impart an unlimited number of states to virtually any object. Each state can contain images, text, videos, animations or any combination of these objects. Add buttons that learners can use to navigate the course. New- iOS device capture Now record your device screen as a full resolution HD video. Make your video richer by adding mobile-specific gestures such as swipe, tap, and pinch to zoom. Select from a range of audio sources, such as system audio, device audio, and microphone input, to customize your video demo. New- Responsive Motion Effects without programming Create eLearning that rocks with fluid object transitions that include motion paths and rotations, even in responsive projects. Define Linear, Custom or Scribble motion paths to completely control the way objects move. Preview animations on hover, and see how effects play out relative to other objects on the integrated Effects and Project timeline. Deliver a superior responsive learning experience by designing different effects for different devices. Integrate multi-state objects with customizable effects to create more impactful courses.
- 4. Enhanced-Enhancements to Responsive Projects Now responsive projects have up to 5 breakpoints to create for the devices that you are delivering your projects on. These could be used to create specific views or you can create them as the landscape/portrait view alternative to your project. If don’t want your learners to view content on mobile devices in landscape mode, you can do that as well with disallowing landscape orientation and including a message to only view the course in portrait orientation. You can find this in Preferences, Publish Settings. New-Multi-State Objects A new level of interactivity has been added to Captivate 9 with multi-state objects. You can create these interactions without having to use show/hide techniques in your project. In the Properties panel that is new section called Object States where you can create different states for an object. There are still the three default states, Normal, Rollover, and Down. You can also create your own custom states with objects. There is also a button called State View that opens up the Object State panel to manage the states you have created. You can add or delete states and add more objects to existing states.
- 5. You can execute then execute and Advanced Action to Change State of… so when the learner clicks on the target button it will then change the state of the object. Here is an example screenshot of how states can work instead of the show/hide features in Advanced Actions. This example has several car colors so when the learner clicks on each color button the car will match the color on the button. This was all created using the multi-state object feature in Captivate 9. Enhanced- Geo-location Enhancements Captivate 8 introduced geo-location for responsive courses, but now in Captivate 9 there’s an extra layer of functionality. Geo-location allows you to deliver content to you learners when they need it and where they need it. One of the better features of this is the Geo-Location Emulator which allows you to test out the project as if you were in the learner’s location. Another update is executing an Advanced Action when the learner’s location changes.
- 6. New- Multistate support for drag-and-drop interactions Make learning dynamic by leveraging multistate object support for drag and drop interactions. Simulate real-life scenarios by customizing the states for Drag sources and Drop targets, based on learner interaction. Provide feedback and aid retention, by altering the state of the Drop target to reflect whether an answer is correct or not. Improved-Timeline Based Interactions In terms of course design, the timeline is a vital resource for interactions and Captivate 9 now brings advance action features that let you program what happens at a specific point in the timeline. This is a process that has been improved so designers don't have to write ActionScript.
