Slide Video issues

[Guest]

Hi all!

I have two issues with a Side with Slide video.

What i am trying to do is to annotate a 18 minutes video. I inserted the video in the first slide and after that i have two issues:

- When i add objects, there is no way to control the Front-Back order of the objects. If i preview the slide i only see the video and no objects. If i preview the slide in a browser i do see the objects.

- When i stop playing the slide, the video coninues. I would expect the video to stop when i stop the slide.

What am i doing wrong?

Captivate 5.5 on OSX 10.6.8

Thanks,

Ton.

How did you change the order of the objects? Dragging them on the timeline is the easiest way, objects on top cover the ones beneath them.

When you say 'preview slide', that is not a 'real' preview because no SWF is generated. What happens if you choose one of the other Preview options?

How did you stop the slide: by the pausing button on the playbar?

I used the timeline as well as the Bring to Front menu.

When i Preview in Browser the SWF is generated and then i can see the objects. This works, but doesn't make developing easier.

Yes.

Sorry, but this is all functioning for me, maybe because I'm on Windows. Slide video is visible with other objects on top of them, I can rearrange using timeline and when I use the Pause button on the playbar the video is pausing as well. Bit difficult to help if I cannot see the issue,

BTW Are you Dutch?

You can check the behavior in this video. I think these are two bugs in the Mac version and that i need to file a bug report.

Jawel! Nederlander die in Spanje woont.

Dag Ton, ik ben Vlaming en woon nog steeds in Vlaanderen. Uiterst zeldzaam om Nederlands te gebruiken in dit forum (ooit Afrikaans antwoord gekegen).

Not sure that filing a bug will help you quickly, this is also the first time I read about this kind of issue, and I'm on the user forums daily.

In your video I couldn't see the top, nor the bottom of the screen, on my laptop screen (you choose a high resolution). So I'm not sure how you previewed the slide, from your mouse movement I detect that you did use the play button on the timeline? That is previewing the slide, which doesn't create a SWF but only is meant for synchronizing. You have to use one of the other preview options. In those other preview situations you'll have the real playbar (unless you deselected it in the Skin Editor) and I was talking about the Pause button on that playbar.

Hi Lilybin!

This is what i do now. I just preview in Browser and that works fine.

Thanks for the tips!
