"I've always believed that the authoring of elearning shouldn't just be for techies. The New Adobe Captivate is a powerful tool consistent with previous versions of Adobe Captivate but contains a simplified user interface so anyone can learn to use it. For example, responsive design just works. There is no reason for you to troubleshoot your layouts on all the different devices out there. Also, the new workflows are great because I can see firsthand that developing is much easier than before."
— Paul Wilson

"The new version of Adobe Captivate is the best one yet! This much needed upgrade has visually rich templates to help create impactful and engaging learning experiences and signature Adobe features and graphics to help unleash your creativity. This new version of Captivate is intuitive, practical, and easy enough for a novice to work with. My experience using it so far has been extremely positive and I will likely continue using Adobe Captivate in my e-learning and instructional designs."

— Ana Maria Treadwell

“I've been using and teaching Captivate since version 1, and this new version is the biggest leap forward I've witnessed in the entire Captivate history. The brand-new interface makes it easier than ever to create cutting-edge responsive eLearning modules, and the new interaction panel makes creating interactivity a breeze! No more cumbersome advanced actions, but the same power ( and even more) at your fingertips! I'm very pleased with the new direction taken by Captivate."

— Damien Bruyndonckx

“Now more than ever learners are taking courses on their phones and this version of Captivate knocks it out of the park as far as being able to develop responsive courses. It has a clean new user interface that makes it really easy to use for new developers and yet doesn't compromise the robust qualities of the tool that more advanced users love. It comes with many awesome templates that include interactive components, media blocks, and cool widgets such as carousels, timelines, hotspots, scenarios, and more ... all of which help users to build engaging courses quickly. And if you want to get a bit fancier with custom interactions, the new triggers are user-friendly and intuitive."

— Anita Horsley

“As a 15+ year user of Captivate, it was frustrating to rely on other software for some of my quick development projects. At last I have the perfect tool that allows me to efficiently add a wide assortment of media blocks with a consistent, branded look and feel using new Captivate's expansive property inspector. My projects are unique to me and don’t look like boring out-of-the-box templates. Thank you Adobe for continuing to be my eLearning tool of choice and for giving us an essential tool that satisfies newbies and experienced users"

— Alice Acker

“Since 2016, I have relied on Adobe Captivate for creating personalized elearning games and interactive scenarios.

I look forward to seeing what everyone will create with this innovative tool. "

As a long-time user, I am thrilled about the latest release of Adobe Captivate, which has an enhanced interface and an array of exciting new features tailored for software simulations. With these additions, I am eager to explore the expanded possibilities and take my simulations to greater heights."

— Debbie Richards

“The new workflow makes creating engaging content quick, clean and very professional looking. I'm thrilled with the number of new ways to create interactive content to help engage learners. This isn't the same old Captivate. It's been rebuilt from the ground up and it shows. The new interface looks great and gives you a variety of ways and options to deliver your content. Clean, responsive and efficient are just a few ways I would describe content created in the new Adobe Captivate. Under the category 'Joy of Discovery' - Adobe Captivate gives you a variety of ways of engaging learners. I love working with the newest version of Adobe Captivate. I can't wait to sink my teeth into the program to create stunning eLearning content. I find that with the new features in Adobe Captivate, my imagination is running overtime in how I can unique use these features."

— Phil Cowcill

"Adobe Captivate is by far my favourite eLearning tool for several reasons. It integrates great with Creative Cloud applications, is very flexible which allows its use for any type of engaging eLearning course, whether responsive or not. I particularly appreciate that my creativity is never pulled down by lack of functionality, due to the possiblities of advanced/shared actions and embedded JavaScript. The new version - which I could try out - adds 360 degree images and videos with hotspots, interactive video functionality, enhancements to video demo (webcam and greenscreening) to its toolbox. As a trainer I appreciate the easier fluid boxes workflow in this second version of that innovative responsive project method."

— Lieve Weymeis

“When Adobe launched Captivate 2017 one of the features I was most excited about was responsive design with Fluid Boxes. Within minutes of using Fluid Boxes, it was clear to me that before long all responsive design would be built this way. It was so intuitive and predictable. that I still had a few items on my wish list for Fluid Boxes. With Adobe Captivate 2019, all those outstanding features are now in place. Now I can precisely size my Fluid Boxes and get a predictable layout on any screen. With 1 click I can also ensure precise arrangement of my objects distributed within the Fluid Box. I now have much more control over the layout of my static Fluid Boxes as well. Adobe Captivate 2019 is still the industry standard for responsive design eLearning authoring. It's the best Captivate yet!''

— Paul Wilson

“I’ve been using Captivate since version 1 and the evolution I have seen is mind-blowing. This release makes no exception. It is one of the strongest ever with tons of new and enhanced features. The new Virtual Reality and Interactive Video workflows are something I’ve been waiting for a long time and I’m very happy with the way the team has implemented it in Captivate 2019. Now, I’ll be able to satisfy even more customers in a simple yet professional and effective way. The ever-growing collection of free assets is a huge blessing, not mentioning the Fluid Boxes and other responsive eLearning features. I’m confident that the feature set of Captivate is the strongest of the market. With the new features of Captivate 2019, no doubt that it will continue to lead the way for years to come…"

— Damien Bruyndonckx

“The new release of Adobe Captivate is truly amazing! We all know that new technology like virtual reality are soon to enter into the field of learning and possibly become mainstream. Therefore, I'm really excited to see that Adobe Captivate has taken this huge step ahead and made it really simple to create immersive learning courses which can be experienced through VR headsets. As we struggle to create engaging training material for learners, it's really important that there's a tool which empowers us to use latest technology to enthrall our learners with an immersive and interactive experience."

—Debbie Richards

"Without a doubt, video training courses are becoming more and more popular among learners these days. However, for trainers and instructional designers, it's not easy to create video content all the time. A lot of planning, technical skills and production costs are involved. However, the new Adobe Captivate has made it extremely easy to create interactive video courses. I can either use my own videos or videos available on YouTube, and add interactive quizzes, assessment slides, etc. to create a course within minutes."

— Josh Cavalier

“I'm personally very happy with Adobe Captivate 2019. I've been creating responsive courses right from when Adobe came up with responsive eLearning features 4 years back. Last year, I was totally taken by amazing features like fluid boxes, "Save as responsive" option to auto migrate desktop-only content, responsive sliders, etc. These took Adobe Captivate way ahead of the rest of the tools. This year also, I'm very impressed with the enhancements in fluid boxes. It's now more simpler and customizable, and can help author responsive courses faster than ever. Additionally, there's a new feature which allows us to scan a QR code and preview the responsive courses on mobile devices. This is really useful since it helps design the courses better."

"You can’t really explain VR, you have to experience it.  With Captivate 2019 you can finally do that for your students. Traditionally creating and annotating 360 degree video is a tedious technical process that includes specialized software or advanced After Affects techniques.  Captivate now allows you to do this easily and elegantly." -  Steve Pixel

Adobe Captivate 2019 – Major Move Forward

"....since the Robo Demo days, I can not recall the last time a new version had such a wide range of new features. I am most impressed by the new Interactive Video functionality. The availability of having a method to add meaningful interactions into an existing linear video offers a new level of re-usability. Properly designed, this poses a great challenge that can leverage existing media assets into presentation, verification, and remediation of the previous linear content."-  Kevin J. Brown, vicepresidente de SunTech 3, Inc.

Fluid Boxes – Adobe is Listening!

"I predict that if in 5 years time if you are not designing responsive elearning, you will not have a competitive edge. When you look at the improvements to fluid boxes in Captivate 2019 it is clear that Adobe is preparing for that eventuality." -  Paul Wilson, veterano del aprendizaje online

I’m convinced eLearning is dead and all of us need to focus on delivering compelling learning experiences that are fluid across multiple screens, taking eLearning beyond the desktop computer. Captivate Draft strengthens the idea that mobile devices are maturing from simple consumption tools to powerful authoring devices. Adobe has set the bar really high for everyone else developing learning design software.

Captivate Draft, a storyboarding tool, is an iPad app that is designed to work in conjunction with Adobe Captivate 9 and its 2017 release. It allows designers to convert their ideas into storyboards complete with eLearning elements such as content and questions slides, branching and more. The advantage of having this tool as an iPad app is clear. I can't tell you how many times I have gone to eLearning development meetings and debated whether I should bring my clunking laptop with me.

Multi-state objects was one of the new features in Adobe Captivate's earlier version that I really like. It allows you to define various states for an object and then switch between these states based on user interaction, advanced actions and so on. It could be done before also but now it is much simpler.

—Michael Lund, CP Guru

This new release includes some solid updates. There’s an actual Effects module with the selected effects visible on the master timeline. And an updated Objects panel allows you to convert any element into a multi-state object. Improvements to the Responsive Design capabilities Captivate offers give it a HUGE advantage over competing products in this space. I was surprised to see Captivate Prime and not Connect Prime. Looks like Adobe has put significant effort into this LMS product, building it from scratch.

One of the more exciting features that I really like is the Adobe Captivate Draft app available in the Apple App Store. Create your storyboard in the app, save it to Creative Cloud and open it directly into Captivate (2017 release) for full development. Another fantastic feature that has been enhanced is responsive projects … now they can have up to 5 breakpoints. A new level of interactivity has been added with multi-state objects ... you can create these interactions without having to use show/hide techniques.

—Will Constantine, Learnhaus

My favorite new features: (a) Responsive design – it’s faster and easier than ever (b) Advanced Actions – it’s the small simple things that make developing eLearning so much easier (c) in-product preview … yes, preview your course right within Captivate to see how it functions within an LMS … SO cool!
