Static Bookmarks in New Captivate: Workflow

This workflow explains step by step the setup of the instance undertaking which is revealed underneath this hyperlink

Trojan horse caution

While you open a undertaking which has a slide video slide the place the video period is longer than the default 3 seconds period of the video placeholder, the time ruler will disappear and get replaced by way of an emoticon:

Fortuitously it’s simple to unravel, simply transfer the zoom slider and the time ruler will reappear:

Step 1: Create bookmarks

If you understand the precise time for the bookmark, you’ll transfer the play head close to that point. For a video I like to recommend to make use of the Play button to get the precise timing. Pause/play the use of the distance bar as toggle continues to be imaginable, however now not at all times in a constant manner.

Click on the bookmark bar to insert a bookmark which seems like a black diamond. I strongly counsel to switch the generative identify by way of a customized one which is able to help you to find the objective bookmarks. Simply double-click the proposed identify and edit it. On this screenshot you spot a bookmark close to the beginning of the slide, which will probably be used to create a Replay button:

Beware: it will possibly occur that whilst modifying the identify that the focal point switches from the Houses to the Interactions. In that panel it seems like you forgot to outline an interplay for the bookmark. It is a bit complicated as it seems like ‘lacking’. On the other hand a bookmark used as goal for micro-navigation doesn’t want an interplay. The interplay panel presentations all of the bookmarks on a slide (bookmarks belong to the gang of Slide occasions) with their timing.

It’s imaginable to transport a bookmark by way of dragging. You’ll delete a bookmark the use of the right-click menu.

Step 2: navigation buttons

On most sensible of the video slide I added 3 buttons (it’s the most in New Captivate inside one interactive part). The button purposes as cause for the motion ‘Leap to bookmark xxxx’. This is an instance screenshot for Button ‘2nd’:

The Replay button gets again to a bookmark at the beginning of the slide:

The Steps slide with the reasons has 5 bookmarks:

As you need to learn within the situation, I supposed to have ‘Leap to Bookmark’ as goal bookmark from the video slide. However at this second that’s not operating. The bounce is changed purchase Cross to Earlier slide.  I am hoping this will probably be fastened quickly.

It’s possible you’ll surprise why there’s a 5th bookmark on the finish?  Its motion is ‘Cross to Subsequent Slide’ to mimick the sleek transition to the following slide which was once conventional for all earlier variations. The usage of the On Go out slide match isn’t operating. It’s not that i am the one consumer to have discovered this workaround. Personallty I by no means have favored the PPT-like presentation playbar.

The opposite 4 bookmarks are the use of the body match to cause an interplay. On this first section I prohibit to the bookmarks of their unique which means: as navigation objectives.

Benefit of New Captivate: you’ll use bookmarks on all content material slides apart from quiz slides.

For Vintage Captivate bookmarks are restricted to slides with Slide video.  For different slides you want ‘micro-navigation’. Subsequent weblog put up will give an explanation for the workaround by way of changing the similar situation. I would possibly give you the shared movements to mimick the bookmark navigation on non-video slides.
