"Very disappointed, poor performance, limited capability"
Version: Adobe Captivate 5.5
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 slideSummary
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. -
