ActiveX error when inserting video

Jun 22, 2018

I have seen a few posts on this before, but never saw any answers with a def solution. Within the last few weeks, whenever I try to insert videos with Articulate '13, I get the ActiveX error. I have updated Flash for Chrome, uninstalled and re-installed Studio '13, and a bunch of other stuff. This used to work fine, as I use a LOT of video clips normally and have never had a problem. I am on Win 7. Any ideas? This is holding up some stuff I need to get done.

 

Thanks!

Hi again, Brian.

I took a peek at your case with my teammate, Ryan, and saw that we've got: Inserting video files in Presenter '13 (when using Microsoft Office 2016/365) results in the ActiveX error logged as a possible bug. Here's how we tackle bugs, and we’ll also post all updates here once we have them!

Really appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and I'm so sorry again for any headaches!
