1. Re: How can one slide background contain multiple screen shots?
Erik Lord Jul 28, 2009 1:06 PM (in response to jod-zeee)I've seen this too, though usually in older versions of Captivate. Curiously, what version are you using?
I've never found a way to separate them within Captivate. Best I can suggest is copy the background and paste it into Photoshop (or whatever imaging program you may have). Most likely, that will be the image that you see for most of the frame. Hard part now is a capture of the other part of the screen... You may have luck scrubbing to that point then doing an alt-prntscrn to capture the whole interface to your clipboard.
Or you may just have to play the slide and hit alt-printscreen at the exact time until you capture the slide...
Either way, paste that into Photoshop as well and crop out the CP interface. Now you've got two separate backgrounds.
Add two new slides right after this problematic one and paste the new backgrounds.
Recreate whatever processes you were doing in the problematic slide, then delete it.
I've never had luck getting rid of those changing backgrounds without just dumping the slide entirely, once making static screenshots from it.

jod-zeee Jul 28, 2009 1:11 PM (in response to Erik Lord)I guess I'll give that a try. It's good to hear you've seen it before and I'm not crazy because I just don't get how it's possible without it being full motion video!
FYI: I'm using the trial version of v4.
Thanks,

mvlele Aug 4, 2009 12:00 AM (in response to jod-zeee)Hi,
If its a capture recording, there you should find a separate slide created when you clicked on the OK button. Identifying the particular slide and changing its display time should help? I hope am not missing something.

jod-zeee Aug 20, 2009 11:27 AM (in response to mvlele)No, that's not it. I would expect it to be a separate slide but it's not. It's difficult to explain or even understand what's happening. I ended up using the workaround of creating a screenshot of the background I needed and creating a new slide with that and just deleting the odd slide that contained two unexplainable backgrounds.

I think Adobe even has a knowledge base article on the phenomenon.
Cheers... Rick

jod-zeee Aug 20, 2009 12:10 PM (in response to Captiv8r)Good to know, but interesting that the article makes it sound like it can only happen with the calculator app!
Once again, thank you for proving I'm not crazy but Captivate is.
