By playing those frames at a certain speed, movement could be simulated: the slowness of our eye/brain made it possible to see fluid movements from those frames. That speed is usually indicated by the term 'frames per second', or FPS.įrames remind me always of the traditional way of producing cartoon movies: each frame, drawn by a graphic artist, was slightly different from the previous and the next frame.

A movie has a playhead, which moves at a certain speed. No one will have doubts about the importance of 'time' for video. Although this is only completely true for a file published to a video format (MP4), this indicates well that Captivate is related to video applications like Premiere Pro and After Effects. Many users talk about the output of a Captivate project as 'a movie'. Following posts will treat topics like ' Timeline in a cpvc-project', ' Timelines in a cptx-project, master slides and normal slides', 'Color coding and Shortcut keys for Timelines', 'Why/how to pause a timeline?'. Since I cannot offer you a 'digestive' (limoncello, grappa, schnapps, single malt ) I will split up this (broad) subject in several articles. Personally I'm persuaded that it should be a top priority in the skillset of any Captivate developer, whatever its level. Timeline panel, in collaboration with the Timing Properties panel is at the core of the Captivate applications.

(user supposing Captivate is a mini video application) ' Why is the timeline not showing the whole project, so user unfriendly'.(user thinking that Captivate is just a Powerpoint clone). 'I want to get rid of the timeline, don't need it at all'.Some of the questions I read, at least partially due to that decision to hide the Timeline: Since the change in the UI with Captivate 8, the newbie User Interface minimizes the Timeline panel by default which is a pity IMO. Quite a few years ago I wrote an article about Timeline secrets in Captivate 5: Tiny Timeline Tidbits Happy New Year 2017 to all Captivate users!
