    Cp 5 crashes during publishing of large projects

    rygaar Community Member

      I have large Captivate 5 projects with 300-450 slides divided into 2 to 4 slide groups.  When I publish the SWF file, the publishing process always freezes at 70% and the application crashes (can't hit Cancel in the progress window ). 

       

      This is not due to any particular file; many of my large projects run into this problem.

       

      This is probably not due to a particular slide since all the projects freeze at 70% and I can publish each slide group in its own project without any trouble.

       

      The projects are straightforward demonstrations; no quizzing.

       

      Scouring the net I've had trouble finding a resolution to the problem. I use Captivate 5.0.3.631

       

      Hoping for ideas. Thanks for reading

      PS.

      I've tried:

       

      > In publish dialog "Advanced Options", to enable "force re-publish all the slides"

       

      > In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to disable "Advanced Project Compression"

       

      > In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to disable "Compress SWF File"

       

      > In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to enable "Compress Full Motion Recording SWF file"

       

      > to remove the slide groups and leave the slides ungrouped

       

      > In Publish dialog, to publish as .f4v instead of swf

       

      > to hide all the slides in a slide group in order to reduce the publish SWF to 200 or 250 slides.

       

      None of these have worked.
