Hallo,
since about the year 1990 I am using Macs private and in school.
The most reason for switching to Mac was, the intuitive handling. I discovered this also for my pubils in school.
Making videos, podcasts an other things with them, let`s me take time for the pubils and not for the machine (pc).
I began 1995 with Director an Authorware when I studied in Furtwangen -> Expert for New Media in Schools.
Now, I would be happy to test your Software and to give you the chance to make the software better, or to show you, where the software is good enough.
Would be nice to hear from you

Gordan Merz

Thanks for this - keep me posted!

Hi,
I am interested in testing your captivate for Mac OS X, specially in the mac environment, as i am a 100% Mackie webmaster.

Please allow me to be a beta tester. This is for my wife and would allow me to get rid of the last Windows PC in the house.

Thanks
Leon

I would love to test the Captivate for Mac.
I prefer using my Mac, but do alot online training and
have to use the PC currently to develop it.
thanks for working on a Mac version for us :)

I would be participating in the launching of Captivate for MAC because my interessescom the program is on the area of education videos and lessons for students of varied follow. It would be a pleasure, thank you.

I used to use this at another University. I would be interested in using it here.

Macintosh Version would be interesting for me.

I am a technical writer and trainer at Netsweeper Inc. We are committed to moving our training materials to Captivate. I personally own a PC version of Captivate 4 and will be taking a course in it this month. Doug Reddick, doug.reddick@netsweeper.com,our marketing manager, has a summer intern working for us that we may train to use and test the Mac version.

I use Captivate for Windows at work and would love to use it on my Mac laptop. This is one that I've been waiting for, for a while. Thanks very much for your time and attention!

Thank you for this opportunity! I filled in the pre-release form, and hope I'm chosen to be a beta tester. I have my own e-learning design and development consulting business. I switched to the Mac in 2007 (first had an Apple Lisa um.. years ago) because of the fantastic OS. I have a MacBook Pro, running Windows XP virtually via VM Ware Fusion. I'm thrilled you're working on the Mac version for Captivate.

I am also interested in testing this product for the Mac. My office will likely be all-mac in the near future, so we will be looking for products like this one to assist our clients with online learning development.

At last we can move on from Articulate.

Will hold back on buying Articulate now, although still tempted by Engage. It'll be just a relief not to have to go through all that VM malarkey.

When are we likely to see the finished article ?

I am a Learning Designer and I use a PC at work and MAC at home. I've taken Captivate training for PC, but I would like to use Captivate at home on the MAC. I've been checking in every six months or so to see if the MAC version was underway, so this is great news. Let me know If I can help.

I was just hired by a company with a web-based hotel software app. and they have hired me to develop training using Captivate (that users will access on the Web).

I switched to Mac in 2004, still know how to use Windows, BUT DESPISE IT and am finding out that my only option is dust off my Windows laptop and install Captive and develop it on that since Captivate is not yet available on Mac. If it makes sense for me to participate in the beta, as long as I could develop training videos that would be usable (Since it would be Web-based it would be fine on Mac or Windows), I believe I would be a great candidate for Mac testing.

Regards,

Richard

I have been using Captivate on a PC for several years but much prefer the Mac. I have requested the Mac version and was part of the Captivate 4 testing. I can't wait to purchase and use Captivate 4 for the Mac. I would love to test the pre release. Thanks for the coming Mac version!

Help! I'm a grad student using a Macbook, and I have a project due in a week using Captivate. Since I have no other computer, I HAVE to do the project on my Mac. Are you accepting testers? May I PLEASE be one?

just posted a temp solution until the Mac version comes out. Capture Mac using the windows captivate.

I am working in the clinical research and doing a lot of trainings in a MAC/OSX Area, so i am very interessted testig captivate for mac beta, thank you

All these Windows people in the office wonder why I prefer to carry my own Mac to the office. I was always proud to say I could do anything they could do more efficiently and with less hassle on a Mac ... and then I end up doing Captivate projects and have to use Windows! How humiliating.

I am a video producer editor and got my former employer to purchase Captivate so we could produce an interactive training program on a gift card systems. Captivate was great to work with and if the mac version was on the shelf I would buy it for the next project I have coming up this month on phone systems. What I disliked about the experience was producing my flash videos on my mac and dragging them over to the PC so I could use captivate. With the exception of Captivate I have little use for PCs other than render farms and servers. XP is outdated and I have no use for Vista or Windows 7.

Hi,

My company uses MACs as standard for our work in the packaging sector, we often like to do training videos to ensure all our offices are 'singing from the same hymn sheet'... A Mac version of Captivate would be very helpful for us and I would be keen to take part in trialing and giving feedback during your beta phase... Currently we are sporadically using a program called SnapShotz Pro which is very limited and not user friendly...

Thanks for your consideration...

I am part of a program that offers distance learning courses for high school students and adults. We've been using Camtasia and Raptivity and use avatars in some learning units. We're trying Captivate on the PC but have pockets of learners who are Mac users and I prefer the Mac. We use both platforms in the office. To be honest, I'm still at the early stages of being convinced we want to move to Captivate. Not an unqualified commitment to use, I know, but I'd love to be convinced. Our role is expanding to assist other programs in creating online learning, so use of such a product is anticipated to grow. Thank you.

I work in e-Learning and support a large base of field technicians, at least half of whom work on Macs. I would be very interested in developing training using Captivate for this segment of the workforce.

I am the chief marketing officer for a national direct response company. We currently train more than 150,000 clients per year in different investing tracks. I am building an online learning infrastructure but have been confined to PC. I would really enjoy taking a look at what you have developed and see how it might work for my current projects.

My partner and I are longtime Creative Suite users on the Macintosh and just recently began working with a medical case manager to develop a distance lecture. We are currently going through the process of installing emulation software just to put the Windows version of Captivate on our machines so we can finish the job. Please hurry with a Mac version, and don't forget to include the quiz modules for the Mac version of Flash as well. Thanks.

We teach Captivate in an online Masters of Instructional Science and Technology program at California State University, Monterey Bay. We would like to be in the loop on the Mac version. Thanks.

We use MAC on the majority of our instructional programs. We use captivate in windows for some applications but would LOVE it on MAC. We would be eager to test it and to purchase it.

thanks, frc

We use Captivate to train our new agents on a vast suite of Call Center applications, especially the quizzing aspect. I've been using it for several years (going back to the good ol' Robodemo days). I've started working from home and would love to use my Mac to develop the training demos.

I'm a Flash/Flex developer and have recently been asked to develop components or widgets for use in Captivate. I'm mac based, so getting a windows machine set up in order to do this is a less than optimal use of my time. I am curious to know if the mac version will be intel only, or will it run on PowerPCs as well?

I am a former Senior Flash/Flex Developer now working leading Multimedia for a training company building e-learning and finding ways to connect Captivate and Flash together in interesting ways. I'm a hardcore mac guy formerly PC who runs Captivate in VMWare and hates every second of doing it. Would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to try this out!

I'm just adding my voice to the chorus of eLearning professionals who are committed devotees Apple. Most of us are Mac users because of Apple's long history i the graphic design and video editing world.
I'm responsible for training 500 employees of a company in the photographic industry, and most of my learners are Mac users. Even our HR department uses Mac. I probably wouldn't have the job of directing all training if it weren't for Apple's unbelievably powerful and efficient Keynote application.
And despite all this, I - like so many of you - are considering jumping backwards through a hoop to run some basic eLearning authoring tool in a simulated Windows environment.

It's just not right!

I would like to participate in the Mac Captivate Beta testing. I have extensive experience with the PC version at work, but am also wanting to use it in my role as an adjunct faculty at a local university. I only have Mac available to me for this.

We use Captivate in a program for training teacher. So we want to be a Beta Tester for Captivate for MAC.

Thanks.

I'm a bit late on this, curious, has the testing for Captivate Mac version been completed. I have a Mac Book and Mac Mini and would to preview the product. I currently have to do all of my elearning on a PC but would love to use a Mac, especially since so many Apple request are coming through.

I am head of learning resources at a Sixth Form - I am thinking of introducing Captivate in the college, I use a mac at home and would be interested in seeing how the versions work together.

I have a Mac computer at work and would love to test Adobe Captivate on a Mac.

I'm kind of wondering about the progress of this. The first post was in May and now it's late October, but I've seen nor heard anything about this May.

Where do I sign up to test this? We've wanted Captivate for years to develop training material for our call centre representatives but there never was Mac support.

So how is this work going then chaps? Silence is golden, yes, but it also suggests inactivity. Companies love to crow when they have something worth bringing to market and the lack of any bird like twitters infers Captivate for Mac ain't happening any time soon.

What happened to Captivate for Mac? 6 months have passed since this original beta tester request and still no news. Is a final release imminent? The wait is becoming excruciating. :)

I loved Captivate on the PC, simply the best,
For the past year now I have switched to Macs and will never go back to windows, the only thing I miss about Windows is Adobe Captivate, I would simply love this on my Mac,

Hi, for all those who were waitlisted and did not make it to the pre-release last time, I have some good news. We will be posting a full feature build on the pre-release and opening it up to a larger audience. We will be reviewing the waitlist during this month and we look forward to your participation.
Regards,
Shameer

My only reason these days for (reluctantly) pulling out the PC is because the client I am working with has requested Captivate. I like Captivate...just not the fact that as a Mac I cannot use it (and no...I won't be loading Windows on my Mac). I would very much like to be added to the waitlist and included in the pre-release. (pretty pleeze!)

The mac beta version was demo'd at the devlearn2009 hopefully that means its coming soon.

I'd love to test Captivate for Mac. I am half way through a Masters in Blended and Online Education and just beginning to put courses together. Would be nice timing to be able to use my Mac.

I only use my PC for Captivate. I would LOVE to see it on my Mac/help with testing.

I just bought my first mac and am so excited (after 15 years of being an engineer in a pc world), but I need to learn Captivate for an upcoming training job. Now what do I do? Load Captivate on my old pc or move forward with the mac. Please, roll out Captivate for the mac ASAP!!

I would like to test Captivate for Mac as well. Thanks!

We need this for serious production of safety, health and environmental courses.

Good morning,
I'm an instructional Designer, MCT, CTT and ACE and ACI in Captivate. I use Mac for all my projects except those involving Captivate. I would be very interested using Captivate for Mac since I use Captivate every day (8 hours a day) for a training program with 150 topics.

i'd love to test the Captivate for mac. i am designing a language learning software and don't want to get a pc to do it. captivate on my mac would be perfect.

Hi there,
I am using Adobe Captivate on my Windows Virtual Machine on my MacBook Pro and it doesn't run very well.
I would love to run Captivate solely on OSX so it available to try, I would love to!
Cheers

During my teaching career I have used 'Director' and 'Captivate'(on P.C.'s) for constructing instructional tutorials to offer my students the opportunity to re-cap remotely on tasks and techniques they used within the classroom.
I have recently changed over to a mac and after just a week of ownership of my MacBook Pro was a complete convert. OS X is so intuitive - it does what you want when you want it!!! It is well laid out with features which are both attractive and helpful.
I am now working for U.K. exam board and we are looking to use 'Captivate' and 'Presenter' to construct various e-learning devices etc. to support teachers who are delivering our qualifications. I would truly like the opportunity to review the product on mac to look at its usability, efficiency of production and functionality. Thanks

I am a master's student in Instructional design and I have been using macs for the last five years. I need to use Captivate for my designing needs and I do not want to buy the Windows version. It would really simplify my life if Captivate were available for macs.
I would love to participate in the pre-release program.

Thank you for the opportunity. I'd love to be in on the beta for Captivate 5. If you'd like I can test Captivate on both Mac and PC platforms. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 on the PC and 10.6 Snow Leopard on my Macs, if that fills in testing platforms you're looking for ...

I'm developing Acrobat Connect presentations and working with Presenter to record presentation slides. I'm very interested in exploring the latest capabilities for recording screen presentations with Captivate.

Again, thanks for the opportunity,

Randy Hagan

Hello,
I am interested in testing your captivate for Mac OS X, because I use Captivate for Windows at work and would love to use it on my Mac laptop. This is one that I've been waiting for, for a while.
Please allow me to be a beta tester.

Thanks a lot.

Hello
I too am interested in being a beta tester for captivate on the Mac. My current position is an interactive designer and web developer. In day to day work I use Flash and the rest of the cs4 tools along with adobe Premiere presenter. Currently I use two computers at work - if I could move all my workflow to a Mac I would be decidedly happier..
Thank you for your consideration

I would be extremely interested in a Mac beta. We currently use a mix of Camtasia, Articulate and Presenter/Captivate, using Parallels. We produce a great deal of online content.

I have been working with Captivate from the off. However I have now changed my home computer to a Mac and now the late nights at the office are killing me. I would give anything to try the beta.

I love to use Captivate in MAC, I use captivate on my work but is Windows

Hi!
I'm a primary school teacher and create a lot of interactive material for children. At work and home I use Apple Computers and I'm very interested to try Mac version.
Thanks!
