Summary

In this video tutorial, I will explain how to use the text effects in Adobe Captivate. Specifically, I will review applying one of the inbuilt effects, modifying the effect and saving it as a custom text effect. I will show you how to clear text effects from your text objects and how to delete unused custom text effects from the text effects window.

I’ve been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005, specializing in the creation of interactive and engaging learning experiences. In 2015, I launched my own eLearning design business and began producing Adobe Captivate video tutorials on my YouTube channel, CaptivateTeacher, to support clients and fellow developers. This content not only helped me grow my business globally—it also introduced me to a wider community of aspiring Captivate users who now turn to me for training and mentorship. Today, I provide both online and onsite Adobe Captivate training, empowering others to build effective eLearning with confidence. I’m proud to be part of the Adobe eLearning Community, sharing knowledge, collaborating with other developers, and contributing to the growth of this platform.

Text effects are not supported in Fluid Boxes. They were taken over from Photoshop, almost identically. There are tons of good videos about creating text effects around everywhere. Sorry for that critical note.

Thanks for the information about fluid boxes not supporting Text Effects.

Obviously, an experienced user such as yourself is not the intended audience for this video. I created the video to answer a client question and simply thought I would share it with other new Adobe Captivate users who might have similar questions about how this feature works.
