I think you're spot on here. They clearly got very excited and went public with this project waaaay too soon. I think what little good will Adobe had in the eLearning world has been greatly reduced by this, which is a shame as we need some competitive products in the space.

The snark is strong with this one and I'm here for it.

Same. *eats popcorn*

oh my goodness! the ad at the end of this video just now is for Adobe Creative Cloud - lol!

My gut instinct is that Adobe is cutting their losses by not trying to put fresh paint over something that is dated. I have to believe they are keeping their powder dry to create a whole new tool and product "if" they even stay in the eLearning support business.

There was supposedly a "private beta" version released a few months back. They said to email if you wanted to be included. I and everyone I know who uses Captivate emailed that we wanted to be included, and none of us ever heard anything again. The whole thing is just very strange.

We need project Charm! Storyline and other solutions don't cut it with Windows only platforms.

I completely agree with your video. I am stuck with Captivate due to many others being cloud based and not ideal for security reasons. Captivate is so far behind the competitors now and looks so dated. Its extemely frustrating, especially when Adobe have some amazing software packages like XD or After Effects. I would love some of those Adobe developers to work on Captivate to bring it up to date. So come on Adobe! eLearning is a growing industy so I do not understand the lack of motivation from them.

I'm actually the author of that Reddit post. This whole situation has been so, so disappointing from Adobe's side. I'm in the process of transitioning my entire eLearning portfolio to Articulate, because using this unupdated, moribund and barely functional 11.8 version in macOS with zero communication from them was one straw too far.

We know a cloud-based authoring tool you might be interested in? ;)

Love the video! We too agree that there are better products out there filling the gap. *ahem*

At this summer time, I started the transfer process of my 420 files from Captivate to iSpringSuite enviroment. Manually... This is very hard and time consuming work, but 4 years old version software (CP 2019 release + 1 bigger update to 11.5) is not value, what I want to pay as subscription based only. iSpringSuite is great, quick, always updated, and easy to use toolset. I miss some functionality such as Advanced actions, but this is only the question of reconstructing and modifying of CP interactions, using new way - non-programming iSpring Visuals or Talk Master etc. But, this is not my end of Adobe - I still use and will use Creative Cloud, the excellent aways updated toolset for digital design and multimedia (20+ years, since CS1 days ))).

That's no simple task to transfer than many courses, but I agree you weren't left with much choice. iSpring is a good alternative though. Thanks for sharing.

ELearning apps are a scam.
