3D power point images don't import

Hello,
I have a Power Point template I'm trying to import - almost
all of the slides contain images with 3D shadings, shadows, and
perspectives.
Once the slides are imported into Captivate, all of these 3D
effects are lost, and as a result, in several cases the diagrams
appear to be out of alignment.
What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?
(1) You are misunderstanding how Captivate treats
Power Point project imports, and (2) there is nothing you can do to
fix it.
Power Point slides are imported to Captivate as merged
(flattened) images. All transition effects are lost during the
import, with only the finished slide being imported. This is the
way Captivate treats Power Point slides and the behavior cannot be
changed. Sorry.

Is there a way to import a Power Point presentation without adding click boxes?

I want the user to navigate through the Power Point portion of my training by hitting one of two buttons. Unfortunatley, in order for me to restrict the users options to these possibilities, I have to delete every click box from the slide that is added to the power point slides when I import them. The only other option (as far as I know) is to make it so they advance automatically (without clicking) when I import the slides, and I don't want that either.
If someone can help me out, that would be great!
Thank you!
Ryan

Why not import with the option 'advance automatically' and add the buttons in Captivate? Are you talking about navigational buttons (Next, Previous)? If you are using Captivate 6 you can use a Shape button for that purpose, add it on Master slides or time them for the rest of the project if you want to have them on each slide:

Importing Power Point without click boxes

When I import Power Point, I don't want click boxes to come
along because I just have to remove them all later. That requires a
lot of time when your power point is really huge. Is there any way
to import without the click boxes so the slides will transition
smoothly without my havign to do anything?
Thanks!

Hi janablessed
When you create a project based on PowerPoint, note the
screen you see. Look closely near the bottom of the dialog. See
that drop-down choice labeled "Advance slide"? Click it and change
it from "On mouse click" to "Automatically".
Cheers... Rick

Can I import hyperlinks in Power Point 2007 to Captivate?

I have a presentation in Power Point 2007 I imported into Captivate 6. Within the Power Point presentaiton, the user cannot navigate through the presentation without clicking one of two objects on the slide. Each of these objects is hyperlinked to another slide with in the Power Point. When I imported this Power Point presentation into Captivate, the hyperlinks with the objects did not import even though "high fidelity" was clicked. Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thank you!
Ryan

No, you'll have to recreate those links in Captivate, they will not import.

Change advance on power point slide after import

How do I change a power point slide that was imported to advance on click but I want the slides to advance automatically?

Hello,
Watch the imported slides, they all have a Click Box inserted at the end of the timeline (see screenshot in the red rectangle). Delete that click box and the slide will advanced automatically.

Power point slides not showing

I have a rather odd problem. I've got a lengthy pdf which I converted to jpg's. I pasted those jpg's into power point into and then imported the pptx into Captivate 6. All the slides import but only the first 2 jpg's are visible. All of the other slides are blank. I know there's an easier way to do it, by converting the pdf to a pptx, and then import to captivate, but the pdf is mostly text and the text gets jumbled during the conversion. I'm just curious as to why the jpg's are not coming into captivate. And btw, I've also tried it using png's.

If you already have JPG images, why not simply use Captivate's ability to create a Slide Show and just create a project and point at the images?
Cheers... Rick

Power point project won't move to the next slide

I create a project with several power point slides and then some automation and then slides again. The automation created within captivate moves from slide to slide. But the power point slides don't move to the next slide automatiacally. I have to click on next to make them move. I looked in the manual and can't find a source to tell me what to do with the slides to make them move automatically (like a slide show would be). Any suggestions?

Hi there
When you import a PPT, you have two options. One option allows the PPT to just play through. The other option inserts a Click Box object on slides that prevents the slide from moving forward until clicked by the user. The choice is made in the dialog.
The default is On mouse click. After your slides arrive, the timeline looks like this:
To allow the slide to move forward, delete the Click Box.
Cheers... Rick

I used my i pad for the first time to take pictures and videos. Do I download it on my I mac before using it as a power point presentation? I also want to separate my pictures and my videos?

i used my i pad for the first time to take pictures and videos. Do I download it on my I mac before using it as a power point presentation? I also want to separate my pictures and my videos? This also the first time that I'm using the apple support communities.

You can import the videos and photos using iPhoto or Image Capture on your Mac.
Connect the iPad to the Mac with the cable and launch either of those two applications on the Mac. Your iPad should appear as a device in the left side of the app. Click on the iPad name and then you should have access to all of the photos and Vidoes in the camer roll and you can import them onto the Mac.
Im not sure what the reference is to Power Point in this case. You can use the imported photos and videos in a Power Point presentation after you import them to the Mac.
Are you trying to create a Slide Show on the iPad? Is that what you mean by a Power Point presentation?

Importing Power Point slides

I have been trying to resolve this for the past two weeks. I
have been successfully importing Power Point slides into Captivate
1 for the last year. Although have not done anything different,
Captivate is no longer importing the jpg logo (height 0.58" width
1" displays top right corner) on the PP slide . Everything but the
logo is displayed in Captivate. The logo is on the Slide Master . I
replaced the Slide Master, copied the logo onto each individual PP
slide and recreated the entire power point presentation without any
success. Can anyone provide a cause and resolution? Thanks.

I have also had inconsistent results with PowerPoint imports
in both Captivate 1 and 2. There seem to be less in version 2. The
problem that I have been experiencing is with fonts. I will have a
slide that clearly is within the frame in PowerPoint, but when
imported into Captivate flows off the bottom of the slide. This is
also incosistent from slide to slide. Here's what I have been
doing. It's isn't ideal, but hopefully time will get this issued
ironed out.
1) I go through my normal import procedures for PowerPoint
presentations by look closely at the thumbnails provided before the
final import. If it looks like there is going to be a problem, then
I bail out at this point.
2) I go back into PowerPoint, call up my presentation, and
the do a File > Save As> and then select the file type at the
bottom as JPEG. It will then ask you if you want to save all. I put
them in another directory and PowerPoint saves each slide image as
an individual JPEG image.
3) I go back to Captivate and import these as images in the
file creation sequence.
This usually results in a pretty clean set of slide.
Hope this helps.

Importing Power Point and Embedding Video in Captivate Question

I am new to Adobe Captivate, but I have heard the following:
1)     I can import a power point slide directly into Captivate 5.5.
2)     I can add a action buttion that when click, can play a short video embedded within one of the slides.
My objective is:
1)     When I click that action buttion, I want to play that short video embedded within one of the slides.
2)     Each slide will have an action buttion, and embedded slide of video (different video).
3)     When the video is completed, it returns back to display the original slide
4)     The user can just look at the slide and just move to the next slide without showing the video.
To accomplish this in Captivate 5.5, can I do this ?
1)     I understand that one must place a button on the converted slide and also embed the video to another slide. This is done by using the tool bar.
Is it possible to do this using programing scripts or anything ???    I would have a many slides to do, and I would like to automate this process.
I would appreciate any suggestions and help.
Thank You,
G

Importing Power Point Slides into FCE

Hey all,
Have a project where I need to use a customer's power point slides in the finished video. Can I import them someway? Or maybe import into Live Type????
Trying to avoid having to type all of them.
Thanks,
Al

You can save a PowerPoint slideshow in many ways.
One possibility is to export a set of images with the format you like: jpeg, tiff, png, etc.: make sure to select the correct DPI (as defined in PPT) in the Options of the save as dialog. For example 180 dpi make a standard slide of 1800x1350 pixels that might fit well in standard DV sequences (default 72 dpi makes a low quality 720x540 image).
A second possibility is to export a movie; also in this case you can choose some parameters like the size of the frame. The default codec is Animation that is good, but requires a conversion of the movie in order to properly import it to FCE.

I cannot import Power Point slides into my presentation...

Hello, have created brand new project with Captivate 7 and tried to import a Power Point slide I made seconds earlier, and I get an error message. I tried the same with a new project in Captivate 6 (I have 6 and 7) and I get the same message. See image. Power Point was closed when I tried to import it. Any ideas what could possibly be happening?
Thanks for any help!!!

As per the Captivate 7 manual:
1. In an open project, Select File > Import > PowerPoint Slides.
2. Navigate to and select the PowerPoint presentation file format that you want to import.
3. Click Open.
4. Decide where to place the imported PowerPoint slides in the Adobe Captivate project. Add the slides to the end of the project, or click a slide in the list and add the PowerPoint slides after that slide.
5. Click OK.
6. In the Convert PowerPoint Presentations dialog box, do the following:
a. Select the PowerPoint slides to convert to Adobe Captivate project slides.
b. Set navigation preferences for the selected slides.
c. If you want to link to the PowerPoint presentation, select Linked. If you want to embed the PowerPoint presentation, deselect Linked.
7. Click OK.
The PowerPoint slides are imported into the Adobe Captivate project and they appear in the designated location. If necessary, you can change the order of the slides.
Hope this helps!

Power Point Slides Change Color After Importing

I built a lot of training material (22 Captivate
modules/movies)- Power Point slides for text, mixed with software
simulations. Several of the modules need updating, however, since
we upgraded from Office XP to Office 2007, I have been unsuccesful
in importing the edited Power Point slides. Instead of the gradient
pale-blue background with black text (as it appears in my Captivate
movies as well as in Power Point) the moment you choose your slides
to import into Captivate, they become purple with teal text. I had
a co-worker access my files on a share drive and attempt it on her
machine, with the same result.
Anyone else having Captivate anomolies after upgrading to
Office 2007?

Import power point slides

Hi,
I did a lot of internet research on this topic but couldn't solve it yet. Hope one of you can help with that issue.
The problem is that when I save a power point slide as an image file (bmp, jpg, png) and import it to indesign the image quality is getting bad. After resizing the picture the quality is at the worse.
Same problem occurs when I resize the image with an other software. Then the quality of the image is also very bad.
Has anyone an idea how to solve that?

Thanks for your reply.
I tried this already and It's the same problem. PDF quality is perfect - when I import it into indesign it's getting worse.
