Adobe Community: Message List - Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 28 Oct 2014 13:39:40 GMT

The lack of Captivate and Presenter in CC is very upsetting, and the decision to not provided a CC eLearning suite more so. I'm poised to recommend the eLearning programs for my company, and am saddened that I can't recommend Adobe because of these ridiculous limitations. I cannot fathom why Adobe is abandoning an entire market division by not offering a comprehensive Cloud Suite for eLearning. It's short sighted, especially considering the increase in eLearning implementation.

The solution of purchasing CC and adding subscriptions for Captivate and Presenter is no type of solution at all. We will not utilize more than half of the Creative Cloud to do eLearning, so I can't justify the purchase.

In the very least, Adobe should offer a Custom Cloud option - allowing the user to pick 10, 15, or 20 programs (and different price points for each bundle) that would allow different fields access to the programs that they actually need. Even a discount when purchasing CC and adding additional subscriptions would be welcome.

Adobe has really disappointed me, and I find myself unable to recommend any of the Adobe products until they provided workable, cost-effective solutions for the market division they appear to have abandoned.

Adobe is such a great company. Not sure why they have chosen not to include this in CC. An official response would be nice, but unlikely.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 14 Oct 2014 13:50:11 GMT

Agreed - I'd really like to use Captivate as I'm paying for a premium bundle. Any chance of an official response?!

Adobe, please add Captivate to CC. People need screen record for offsite distributed workflow. You can't make software product ads without it either.

I too could use access to Captivate in Creative Cloud. I work with many people who are not computer savvy and I would certainly benefit from being able to create tutorials of different processes I need to implement throughout my system.

I tried to vote for this but the voting page came up with the error 'this page is restricted'. Am logged in. Shame, I can't see why Captivate can't be part of Creative Cloud.

Please include Captivate in CC - I'm sick of shelling out more money for 3rd-party add-ons. Either this is a premium, integrated suite, or it isn't.....

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 20 Sep 2014 23:16:58 GMT

I agree too - and would also be willing to pay another $5 / month to have access to Captivate.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 18:14:01 GMT

I had to put one in for September 2014...

PLEASE, ADOBE, add Captivate to Creative Cloud. I'd like to make little mini-video how-to's for clients to introduce them to various parts of the products (web applications) I make for them. IS IT REALLY all about the money? Is that why you won't do this? In the meantime, we're looking at other vendors... for screen capture video tutorial-making.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 31 Jul 2014 10:13:48 GMT

I agree, please add Captivate to the Creative Cloud. Makes no sense to not include it?

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:02:27 GMT

I'm currently have a full Creative Cloud membership and desperately need a screen capture program for creating online tutorials for my students.

This thread was started in 2012 for Captivate 6, what is the delay in adding Captivate into the CC family. I just updated all of my apps to CC (2014), but Captivate is still not an option. Come on, let's make it happen…

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 14 Jul 2014 18:26:14 GMT

Agree!

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 21:21:02 GMT

I agree, please include Captivate and Presenter to Creative Cloud service, and then I will renew my CC plan.

I was user of Creative Suite 6 Design Standard since version CS2 and eLearning suite 6 since version 2. Because Adobe stopped future plans for these products, but Captivate and Presenter was not included to new Creative Cloud, only separately, I had Creative Cloud plan payed, but only first year (24,59 €) and plus subscription Captivate (22,13 €). After first year I have stopped CC and buy perpetual license from eLS 6 to individual CP7 + Presenter 9 (it was possible). And still use CS6 installed products.

In june i have upgraded Captivate 7 to version 8 perpetual and Presenter 9 to version 10 perpetual. But other products have and use CS6. What can I do... Its not possible (for me) to pay CC (60€) + Captivate (22,13€) and Presenter (16€) each month. It would be not fair, when other designers and developers pay only CC (60 €) and I would pay nearly 100 €.

No response from Adobe yet I take it. Are Captivate and Presenter the only suite products left out of CCT? Captivate 8 is $912 on its own so I imagine that is a great revenue flow for them. Could users use Adobe Premiere Pro CC, which is in cloud, instead to do something similarly done in Captivate?

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 04:56:42 GMT

Another vote here to include Captivate as part of Creative Cloud. That would be a deal maker for me to become a full subscriber.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 04 Jul 2014 09:58:09 GMT

I agree wholeheartedly. Why is Captivate not part of the Creative Cloud?

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 11 Jun 2014 23:08:21 GMT

Yes, please add Captivate. I do not understand why it is not included in this suite. I would use it far more than some of the more obscure programs that are included.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 07 Jun 2014 09:54:52 GMT

Please include captivate in the cc package"

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 06 Jun 2014 18:44:58 GMT

Not sure why Captivate is not with Adobe CC, but seems like it should be. Please add this app to the cloud!

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 22 May 2014 01:58:18 GMT

I would like to see this product added to the Creative Cloud Suite as well.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 11:45:43 GMT

I would also be willing to add €5/month to my CC subscription to have access to Captivate. In my opinion it's mandatory to have a screen capturing software included in Creative Cloud.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

Add Captivate!!!! It makes no sense to exclude this program...

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

Hi Friends!

I am also willing to pay a little bit extra if Captivate would be part of Creative Cloud family.

If Adobe is unwilling to add Captivate to the Creative Cloud offering, then how about offering a steep discount oaver the standalone subscription for Captivate to Creative Cloud subscribers? I would gladly pay another $5/mo. to add Captivate to the package but I will not be using it frequently enough to justify the full cost of an additional subscription.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 21 Feb 2014 16:14:40 GMT

I was told this as well. Very disappointed to find out that it is not true. That is simply not good business practice.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

Hello,

I was under impression that ALL the Adobe software is now available for 600 USD per year (3000 USD for 5 years).

What actions are required to implement an official request to Adobe Inc. with all of the above 200+ signatures to make Captivate available in Creative Suite?

p.s. The link David__B provided doesn't work.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 19:29:39 GMT

I agree. "Currently" seems to be the standard operational word here. Adobe is always Currently offering options and then taking them back again. Not too keen on constancy??? So, according to this policy, a staff member can comment safely to posts. As of October 11 last year eLearning Suite WAS an option. But for Adobe, on October 12th this could be untrue, due to new policies. Simple users cannot keep up with promises like that, just as simple voters cannot keep up with the promises that politicians make. It would indeed be great just to hear: "We at Adobe don't do this anymore, in fact never again." But that may not Currently be the company policy....

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 19:06:43 GMT

So I just noticed the idea received so many votes (think it was over 700 last time I saw it) Adobe took it down. Must be a great way to handle your customer requests. If they all request a feature simply hide the evidence.

Interestingly Adobe no longer lets you purchase Captivate month to month either. With all of the other products in Creative Cloud it is hard to see why this one is seperate. Must be a solid revenue stream but seems odd that it would generate more revenue as a stand-alone than something like PhotoShop.

Another odd thing is that the eLearning Suite is no longer an option so if you are a school they must figure it is a good idea to milk you from two directions.

What is most bothersome is the lack of comment on the topic (other than to remove the idea link above). Come on Adobe at least have the courage to tell your customers you are not going to do what they have asked.

Hiya, I don't mind if its not captivate really, all I want is a screen recorder that will record in HD and capture system audio so I can make music tutorials.

Count me as a vote still though definitely!

This is definately a slap in the face for $50 a month.

Seconded/Thirded/whatever. This needs to be in Creative Cloud.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 10 Oct 2013 21:59:47 GMT

I remember when LiveCycle was included with Acrobat9, then removed when 10 came out, turned into a pay item seperate from CC. Luckily I purchased CS6 before the CC change and was given a free copy of LC3. LC4 is still a pay item. My point is that they will not give Captivate a cc position because it just doesn't fit into the design section.

I would like Captivate, because I create tutorials for my companies software and make instruction clips for tech support.

I have added a feature request when CC first release asking for Captivate. No word yet.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 10 Oct 2013 15:23:35 GMT

There is no such thread. It's a real misser NOT to include Captivate in Adobe Creative Cloud, especially for members who work in education

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 24 Aug 2013 18:09:43 GMT

Yes! Please add Captivate to the Creative Cloud!

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 29 May 2013 17:47:13 GMT

I second that...please add Captivate to CC

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 17:45:00 GMT

It is absolutely essential that both Captivate and Presenter are included with the Creative Suite. For whatever reason Adobe sees these two as being for instructional design only (forget the fact that I see them as instructional development tools). The fact is that people in every single discipline: engineering, marketing, sales, medicine - could use Captivate to create highly interactive presentations, interactive tutorials and evaluations. I agree that instructional designers bring an art and science to what seems like point and click capture, but there is market potential for Adobe that should not be forgotten.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 18:18:47 GMT

No - and I think it's time Adobe explained their policy to those of us who have made an on-going commitment to their Creative Cloud concept - based on some quite clear expectations.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:46:43 GMT

So everyone has voted yes on that thread (211 of us so far). Has anyone seen any indication from Adobe that this is under serious consideration?

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 15:54:39 GMT

I voted too. Thx Dave!

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

Please add your votes to the idea thread I created as well then, the more user feedback, the more likely we could get it implemented.

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 12:58:31 GMT

Yes I totally agree.. please add captivate! We needs it...

Re: Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 04:07:17 GMT

I second the request to have this in Creative Cloud - I thought I had paid top money to have ALL related apps!

An alternative would be the ability to opt out of a particular app I don't need (there are several), and swap it for Captivate.
