Differences between events and synchronized videos in Adobe Captivate

The following scenarios can help you decide the option you must choose:

Scenario: On-demand demonstration

You have to play a video (probably on user interaction) in a slide, for example an on-demand demonstration.

In this case, you can use the event video option.

Scenario: Talking Heads

A presenter describes the contents on the slide. In such talking heads scenarios, multi-slide synchronized video is the effective option.

The following table shows the differences between the two so that you can decide which option to use:

Event video	Multi-slide synchronized video
May not be in sync with the slide	Plays in sync with the slide
Can be placed only on stage	Can be placed either on stage or TOC
Does not get added to the Library	Gets added to the library. You can preview the video on both slides and in the library. You can replace or update the file from the library.
Multiple videos can be added to a slide	Only one video can be added to multiple slides
Does not support closed captioning	Supports closed captioning
Users can play, pause, rewind, or forward the video using the playback controls in the skin.	Users cannot control the slide video. The video plays based on how you have synchronized it with the project.
