• Keep the dimensions of a video that you want to include in the TOC as: Height 144 and Width 196.
Synchronizing slide videos with the project
1 Decide which of the slides in the project need slide videos. Set optimal duration for such slides so that
synchronization is more effective.
2 Arrange the slides in the order in which the video is to be shown. Reordering the slides after importing the video is
not recommended.
3 Import the video with distribution to span across slides.
4 Use the Edit Video Timing dialog box to specify which part of the video plays on which slide. For more information
see “Edit video timing” on page 97.
5 Specify which object must appear at what part of the video clip. For more information, see “Synchronizing other
objects with video” on page 98.
Publishing projects with slide videos
By default, the published SWF files with slide videos are optimized for progressive downloads of videos. You can host
the SWF file on a web server without changing any settings.
To host the videos on a server other than the one on which the SWF file exists (for example, a video server) or if you
want to use streaming or Flash Video Streaming Service (FVSS):
1 Upload the videos to the server.
2 In the Video Management dialog box (Video > Video Management), specify the path of the video on the server.
In case of streaming, specify the rtmp path. In case of FVSS, specify the path given by the FVSS provider.
Set audio for noninteractive objects
You can add an audio file to noninteractive objects. The audio file is played when the object appears on the slide.
1 To add audio, go to the Audio area in the Property Inspector (Window > Properties) and then click Add Audio.
The Object Audio dialog box appears.
Record Audio Click to record. Recording audio requires some basic equipment.
Stop Audio Stops playing the audio file.
Play Audio Plays the audio file.
Import Displays the Import Audio dialog box. This dialog box lets you browse to an audio file and import it.
Library Opens the Library. The Library lists all audio files that are already part of the currently open Adobe
Captivate project.
Edit This tab lets you edit the audio file in various ways, such as inserting silent periods and adjusting the volume.
Settings Opens the Audio Settings dialog box. You can change audio settings such as input source, quality level,
and calibration. Click the Settings button to make your selections.
2 Specify the following in the Audio area:
Stop Slide Audio When Slidelet Appears (for Rollover Slidelet) Any audio associated with the slide stops playing
when the slidelet appears in the movie.
