Notice that a smaller portion of the screen is shown for tablets.Ībove you see the small portion of the screen in Preview mode for smartphones. In the screen shots below, you’ll see how different portions of the same screen recording are shown in Preview mode in Captivate 8.Ībove you see the entire screen in Preview mode for PCs/Macs.Ībove you see the portion of the screen in Preview mode for tablets. This is a good choice if a scalable simulation choice is too small to see on a smartphone. Responsive SimulationĪ Responsive simulation allows you to show your entire screen recording for PCs/Macs, a smaller portion of the screen for tablets and an even smaller portion of the screen for smartphones. You will need to Publish it first and then drag your window to different sizes to view how it will look in various mobile devices. Note that when creating a Scalable simulation, you cannot scale it in Preview mode. This is when a learner would start squinting. Notice that the entire screen is still showing.Ībove is an example of how the same simulation would look on a smartphone. Above is an example of viewing it on a PC.Ībove is an example of how the same simulation would look on a tablet. Once published, you are able to view the entire screen recording in whatever size device window. A Scalable simulation is a good choice if you always want your entire screen recording to be seen no matter which device is being used to view your tutorial.įor example, below is the same portion of the simulation as it appears in estimated PC/Mac, tablet size and smartphone. The screen is kept intact but just gets smaller for tablets and smartphones. Scalable SimulationĪ Scalable simulation shows your entire captured screen on all three types of devices: computer screen (PC or Mac), tablets and smartphones. What’s the difference?īoth Responsive and Scalable simulations can be used on different devices for your mobile training, but the two are different when it comes to what your end-learner sees and in how you start creating them in Captivate 8. However, it might be a little confusing at first as to which you should create-a Responsive simulation or a Scalable one. This means you can finally forget Flash output!
These both create an output of HTML5 so you don’t have to worry about them working on mobile devices.
Two exciting outputs for software simulation in Adobe Captivate 8 are Responsive and Scalable simulations for mobile-device learning. You might as well forget Flash output anymore. Today most companies need to be creating software simulations that can be viewed on a variety of devices, including mobile.
Please visit Adobe Support section for Knowledge base articles around Installation.The process for creating software simulations has greatly changed over the past few years. The tool has been replaced with improved installation support mechanisms. We get this from the link: The Adobe Support Adviser has been discontinued "The Adobe Support Adviser tool was used to analyze installer log and system information associated with installation errors.
Please download Adobe Support Adviser to detect the problem." When I try running it, I get this pop up warning: "We've encountered the following issues. I used the "Click here to download" and downloaded the Captivate 8 Voices_圆4 file. I downloaded Captivate from Adobe, and don't have a disc.
I have downloaded it successfully, but when we install it, it says we need a feature that was on the DVD or the download site. I am having problems installing the NeoSpeech text to speech (Captivate Voices 64 bit).
