Adobe Captivate (32-bit) for Windows

User Reviews

• Great new features in Captivate 7!

  bajenkins1/29/2014

  Pros

  Ability to create drag-and-drop interactions The addition of multiple interaction tools, such as tabbed lists and glossaries Built in themes On-screen simulation recording with ability to record as videos or training demos Enhanced audio editing features (compared to previous versions)

  Cons

  Some of the interaction tools are not as modern as other eLearning programs, and the styles need improvement. Still, there is flexibility built into the software to modify the look of the interactions.

  Summary

  Overall, great product!

• Great teaching tool if you devote time to learn it.

  Zaqueo5/18/2012

  Pros

  Simple and direct in creating Quizzes and lessons Great user's support. Has numerous advance(script and variables)capabilities Multi-platform delivery (windows, mac) If using it commercially, then the price is right No problem with WIN 7-64 Almost limitless as a teaching tool

  Cons

  Limitation on Quiz slides unless you use the advance interaction.

  Summary

  I've been using Captivate since CP4, CP5.5 is an incredible step up in ease of use, performance and advance functions. I did not use CP4 commercially because of numerous limitations, but CP5 offers so much that I started migrating most of my publications to SWF and FLV for the Windows and Mac platforms. Great work Adobe

• Very disappointed, poor performance, limited capability

  yipiyayo12/12/2011

  Pros

  Able to convert commonly used PowerPoint presentation into static image and include the questions created by build-in quiz function Able to create video tutorials for software.

  Cons

  Poor performance Timeline hide/show and lock always behave incorrectly No zoom to display canvas Cannot lock objects Cannot group objects Align tools don't behave accordingly at times Rollover for image is different from buttons No drawing tools, to create even a simple rectangle.(Basic shapes) Cannot have interactive object in master slide

  Summary

  Basically its exactly the same as a PowerPoint, just with added video export and quizzes. Its a program meant for dummy who can't use more powerful application for better interactivity. If its just for simple animation, video tutorial or presentation with add-on quiz capability, use it. Otherwise there's plenty better other tools out there. The money is just not worth when you can make do with simple PowerPoint presentation.

  MadPenny426/20/2010

  Pros

  Easy to use

  Cons

  There are a few small things I would like to see the user being able to customize, but all in all great!

  Summary

  This software was very easy to use and user friendly. I'd never had any training on how to use it and I was able to open it up and make a training video. It was very self explanatory.
