#ADOBE CAPTIVATE 7 AUDIO WAVE FILE LOOK BIGGER IN TIMELINE FULL#

When you edit an audio clip, the original clip will not disappear but a new clip will be generated. Do not worry about size of the WAV files, when published all WAV files will be compressed by Captivate to MP3, and you can set up the compression parameters. You will see 2 files with different format in the LibraryAudio folder in that case.

If you want to edit an imported MP3-file, Captivate has to expand that file to create a WAV file.

If you import audio, you choose best for the uncompressed WAV-format over MP3. Some short tips, related to the Library, which is one of my favorite features in Captivate. Here is a simple trick to avoid that merging: increase the slide duration a little bit, move the audio timeline on each slide, to have small gap before and after the audio. This leads to a similar situation as with project audio: it takes a while before that longer clip is loaded and often synchronizing with appearance of slide items is screwed up. Reason is that Captivate ‘thinks’ that audio has been distributed over some slides, and merges those audio clips to one audio clip. As I read in forum questions like this it happens that the total number of audio clips seems to decrease. It will start on the first frame of the slide, and end on the last frame. When inserting slide audio, the slide timeline duration will be extended to the length of the audio timeline, when the audio duration is longer than the original slide duration.

This workflow should be avoided now, because that would mean that the full project audio has to be loaded on the first slide, which will lead to considerably long waiting time. In the past (SWF output) I sometimes used Project audio, which was distributed over all the slides, using the Audtion roundtripping. For long clips (to be avoided, better split up on more slides) that can take a while and could even lead to synchronizing problems. Merging of Audio clips (slide audio)įor HMTL5 output audio (and video) has to be generated when entering a slide with audio. Some tweaks can be found in this one which I created with CP2017. In the past I have posted several articles about audio. Although personally I mostly use Adobe Audition to record and edit audio clips for Captivate, this blog will focus only on the Audio features within Captivate. Maybe they can be useful for other Captivate users, decided to write this short blog. Recently I answered several questions about Audio in Captivate.
