Updating Storyline artefacts with another authoring software

Afternoon community!

I'm curious to know the approach people take, when they have multiple authoring tools to use, for maintaining SL3 eLearning products (i'm aware this product is at end of life).  Has anybody had to update SL3/SL360 products using Adobe Captivate before? Or vice versa? I'm thinking it might be as simple as exporting files in HTML5?  Appreciate any advice! Thanks in advance.

    Unless you're able to crack how the .story files are constructed (they are HTML IiIRC) there is no way that I am aware of. 

    The last time I had to update a Captivate project in Articulate, I used Camtasia to capture my screen as I completed the e-learning. 

    Then I split the video up into "slide-sized" bits and remade the slides that required updates.  The rest I left as a video on each Storyline slide. 

    It wasn't a pretty process and the result wasn't fantastic. But I got the Flash stuff recorded in a fair condition. 

    I have no idea if you can go from Storyline to Captivate in any better way. But I'd rather step on glass shards and rusty nails barefoot than use Captivate again- I would at least consider doing it if I had a choice.
