CpMate
The bridge between Captivate and Animate
CpMate allows your Adobe Animate HTML5 animations to sync with Adobe Captivate.
Not Compatible with Captivate 12 and above
Compatible with Captivate 2019 (Also called Captivate Classic). To learn more about why Captivate 12 is not supported, please watch the video below.
What is it?
CpMate is a Javascript file that is packaged into your Adobe Animate HTML5 export.
How does it work?
Adobe Animate HTML5 exports can be imported into Adobe Captivate allowing you to display animations in your courses. Once imported, CpMate communicates with CpExtra. This allows Captivate and Animate to interact with each other, opening up new possibilities and more efficient workflows.
What do I need?
CpMate requires the following three programs:
Animation
Sync Adobe Captivate and Adobe Animate Timelines
When the Captivate export pauses, so will the Animate Animation. Break down your animation into different segments a from Captivate set when they should play. Never lose sync again!
Responsive Stage
With CpMate's outer rendering feature enabled, the Adobe Animate stage will expand to fit whatever screen size the learner is using.
Workflow
Multiple Animations in One Document
No need to create a separate Adobe Animate project for each animation. CpMate allows you to package animations inside symbols. Export one OAM file and use it multiple times in Captivate, each instance playing a different animation. Update all your animations at once! Share images between your animations to decrease file size and download time.
Load Javascript Libraries into Captivate
CpMate can act as a platform to load Javascript libraries into Captivate. This could be popular third party libraries such as Sweet Alert or libraries of your own creation. Made an update to your code? Just republish in Adobe Animate and bring the update into Adobe Captivate. No more mucking about with Adobe Captivate's program files!
Interactivity
Change Captivate Variables from Animate
Change Captivate variables with literally one line of Javascript. Pair this with CpExtra's command variables, and you can show and hide objects, trigger advanced actions and change quiz scores all from within Adobe Animate.
Change Animations from Captivate
Based on Captivate variables, show different images or play completely different animations. Pull text from Captivate variables or captions to display inside Animate text fields.
