Why Adobe chose to emulate the worst-of-class PowerPoint transitions and ignore the best-of-class Keynote transitions - which are perfectly suited for a SWF - is beyond me. It’s enough to make me want to buy a MacBook Pro.

I’m not a Mac evangelist by any means (I use Windows XP), but if you want to see some very tasteful transitions, check out a demo of Keynote sometime. Otherwise, most of these transitions are intended to appeal to the PowerPoint crowd, and are best left alone. There are some exceptions for instance, if you’re recreating scenes from Star Wars and want that famous wipe transition between scenes, go for it! Or the iris transition for a James Bond-themed Captivate movie. In the name of all designers who create items of taste, I implore you to ignore these new transitions unless they make sense for your particular needs. Captivate 3 has swiped emulated PowerPoint’s array of transition types, including blinds, fly, iris, photo, pixel dissolve, rotate, squeeze, wipe and zoom. In Captivate 1 and 2, users only had three slide transitions to choose from: fade in, fade out, and fade between.

Clicking anywhere on the screen - even on what used to be a ‘back’ button - simply caused the Captivate movie to go forward one slide. Captivate stripped the links from all clickable items and rendered them as non-clickable drawings. In this case, the clickable items were all homemade navigation aids, such as next, previous, and menu. For one of my tests, I imported a large PowerPoint presentation that contained clickable items on each page. One important thing to note about imported PPT presentations: Captivate 3 does NOT import clickable items. I haven’t pushed the boundaries when testing this feature, but for general zoom, resize, and fade-style animations, the SWF version was identical to the PPT version. Users had to add their own navigational aids or use the Captivate playback controls.Ĭaptivate 3, on the other hand, converts PPT animations to SWF format, enabling users to retain most of their PPT animation. This meant that every slide became a still screenshot, and the converted presentation would automatically go from slide to slide in a matter of seconds. In Captivate 2, PPT animations were lost during the conversion, and Captivate 2 didn’t automatically add pauses (‘wait for mouse click’ behavior) in each slide.

Having said that, Captivate 3 represents a substantial improvement over Captivate 2 when importing PowerPoint (PPT) presentations. It’s a bad idea, whether it’s been converted to Captivate or not. Importing PowerPoint presentationsĭisclaimer: I have never recommended nor will I ever recommend using PowerPoint presentations as online courseware. This is part one of a multi-part journal entry. Selecting a region changes the language and/or content on are my first impressions of Captivate 3’s improvements and new features.
