Many you’ll recognize some if you’re already a Captivate, Storyline, or Lectora user. The TimelineĪctivePresenter has a timeline (Figure 3) that you can use to have objects appear and disappear from the stage or canvas. However, you can create as many timelines as you wish on any slide, and name them as well. The additional timelines do not activate automatically: you use events and actions to make them work. They are used mainly for animating objects but are not limited to such. The timeline also includes several other options not seen on Captivate and Storyline’s timelines: Change the audio volume for portions of the timeline.Normalize the audio volume for the slide.Split the timeline where indicated into two slides. However, whereas the Timeline does show the z-order of objects, with objects higher on the timeline displaying over those below them, it does not allow you to drag objects up and down to change their z-order. You need to right-click or use other options to change the layer order. Also, unlike Captivate, ActivePresenter doesn’t allow you to attach an object to the end of a timeline so that it remains there no matter any changes you make to the slide timing. The FilmstripĪctivePresenter’s filmstrip (Figure 4) is similar to that in Captivate and Storyline. Lets you show slide thumbnails in a column or in a grid, or just slide titles.Shows you the time for each slide in the column or grid, but not when showing slide titles.Show titles under the slides in a column or a grid.Have a duplicate option (though you can copy and paste)įigure 4: Filmstrip as titles Dialog boxes.See Figure 5.įigure 5: ActivePresenter dialogs and panels Other features of note The dialogs in ActivePresenter are intuitive and similar those you find in Storyline, Lectora, and Captivate with panels that can stay up or be dismissed. Notice in Figure 6 that you can have object states in ActivePresenter, as you can in Captivate and Storyline (and to some degree in Lectora). However, you cannot delete or add other objects, and in most cases you can’t replace the object in one state.
