Controlling PPT animation timing in Captivate 4

I imported a PPT to Captivate. I want to control the timing of the PPT animations, but each object just comes in quickly - one after another. Is there a way to control this and have each object come in when I want it to?
Thanks,
Howie

Hello,
You can choose to have the PPT controlled by the user, instead of automatic playing. I'm mostly using advancing by clicking. What were your settings when importing the PPT-slides? And how was the PPT controlled: by clicks?

How stop imported ppt animations from getting out of sync when captivate 4 is paused?

When we pause captivate 4, the imported power point animations keep going. We import power point slides into Captivate 4, then import audio into Captivate and set the animation timings ("after previous" -no clicks - video is set to automatic forward) in ppt to synch with the audio. We also add Captivate popups etc. After we publish, when the pause button is used, Captivate pauses and the audio pauses but the power point animations get out of synch - the ppt animation timings do not seem to recognize the pause. How can we fix this?

Ruth,
I have been able to fix the problem with adding a second on each slide. So all but 7 of my slides now are in sync. I had one slide change, not play its narration as the narration from the previous slide finished. And then it move on to the next slide. According to the manual, you can adjust the speed of the slide transition. So I am playing with the timeline for each slide. I am almost there. I didn't have any change of slides after the first transition to almost perfect synchronization with all but 7 slides out of 60, including one skip over. It seems each problem solved creates a new problem. I fixed resolution by adjusting the resolution settings. I enabled the variable showing of the slide based on the narration, rather than the default 3 seconds. So I am making progress.
Thanks for responding,
Paul

Controlling Flash Animations in Captivate

Hi Folks,
I have a simple Flash animation running in Captivate. What is the best/easiest way to pause and play/resume that animation in Captivate? I'm using Captivate 5 and Flash Professional CS5.
Thanks very much for your help,
Roger

Hi Roger,
The animation will pause when you have a pause on the timeline from a click box or another interactive object.
If you want a dedicated button to pause/play you'll need to attach an advanced (conditional) action, because you'll need to influence two system variables:
rdcmndPause has to be set to 1 to pause everything, including the animation
rdcmndResume has to be set to 1 to continue playing.

The ppt animations doesn't pause in the player but the audio does.

I've imported an animated PPT into Captivate 7. The audio is added into Captivate. After publishing the project. The ppt animations doesn't pause in the player but the audio does. When you click the play button again the audio and animations are out of aliment. Is there any way to make the PPT animations pause in the player?

Im on a Mac. Adobe Captivate 7 & PPT Office 2011.
The animations in Power Point are timed to go with audio. One animation is with previous. Building out bullet lists with graphics.

How do I get ppt animation and timings to work in Presenter?

How do I get ppt animatins and timings to work in Presenter? Same ppt presentation different times each time I use the Publish function.

Hi,
Click on sync audio button to sync audio with animations. If you don't have audio in your presentation, then click on edit audio button, it will launch edit audio dialog where you can insert silence durations for each slide and manage the slide duration. Again for syncing the animations timing use sync audio button.
Thanks,

PPT Animations on Quiz slide

Are PowerPoint animations not supported on a quiz slide? They
work in PPT, but after you publish, they do not work. Is this a
bug? Not supported?

PPT animations are supported, and will work. But quiz slides
are already loaded with animations and setting up the timing for
new animations is going to be a bear. Meaning, you would have to
take the time to figure out when you want the animation to happen,
put it in the correct place and then workout the timing for it. In
the end this may be more work than it's worth, but make sure you
have the custom animations menu open and add the animation to the
correct animation to create a group of animations that happen on a
certain click. That may be the easy fix, but don't know for sure it
that will work.

How can i control gif animations?

I have a project in which i need some animations. The animations all have been created in After Effects. Now I can use the png sequences, but these are very big and i need a lot animations running on the same time. So i would rather use the gif animations. So my question: I can control when to play the gif animation but i can't play it more than one time. Is there a solution?
Thanks for answering!
Jannis

Hi there,
I see...you're controlling when it displays. Technically, that's not the same as controlling the animated GIF; you're just controlling when you see it. EA recognizes GIF only as an image format, and can't make the browser play from the beginning other than the first time it's displayed or when it loops back (if your animated GIF loops).
However, you could do something similar with an extra image file or two, jQuery, and css background-image to "load" the GIF file into a transparent image. Here's a link to an example that always runs the animated GIF from the beginning:

A single line of code that does the work is in the playBtn click handler.

Try wrapping the call in a bootstrapCallback function.

Enable the control of the timing of the imput

I got a program that enable me to control the opening of 8 valves manually. However, I need to automate the process and be able to key in the time that a valve will open automatically. Thus, Is there any function that allows the control of the timing that the input go into the main program or is there any other solution to the problem that I had. Thanks

I am already able to control the valves manually. But I need to improve the program to a state where I can just key in the time delay that i want the valves to open after I run the program automatically.

Red screen appears when Flash animation plays inside Captivate

Has anyone experienced this problem? A Flash animation inserted into Captivate displays a red screen briefly when the animation plays. I've never had this happen before.
Ideas?

Captivate 8 pausing on PPT animations instead of playing through to the end of the slide.

I imported a 26-slide PowerPoint 2007 presentation with animations into Captivate 8 and added two separate Captivate 8 simulations. When I preview, Captivate pauses at each and every animation. I would like for it to play through the entire slide that has been timed to a narration, and the user will only have to click to move to the next slide. Am I too ambitious or missing a critical step/setting? Please help me if you can. I've checked everywhere I can think of. The only thing that seemed to work was when I ripped all of the animations out of the PPT. It behaved then as I am hoping for it to do when the animations are in the ppt.

You'll have to check the PPT: maybe it is set up to need a click for each animation instead of just being timed (following in sequence)? Captivate is just recording (creating sort of movie clips, one per slide) literally what is set up in the PPT.

Captivate 4 does not show imported PPT animated slide in Branching View

Hi Captivate Users & Gurus,
I've imported an animated PowerPoint slide into a Captivate 4 project. There are 9 slides altogether in the project and the imported slide is number 3. My issue is that once the project plays (in Preview) it only goes from Slide 1 -> Slide 2 automatically. (It's set to show for a specific amount of time)
The problem is, after the time period it should move automatically to the next slide, however It won't proceed to Slide 3 UNLESS I put a "next button in for the user to click on.
The Branching View shows Slide 1 and Slide 2... but Slides 3-9 don't show up at all. (I've attached an image of the Branching View) If I add "next" buttons to those slides then they show up in the Branching View, but ideally we want for the project to play without having the user click to move forward.
In the TOC, all the slides are recognized just fine - any idea why Captivate can't link these slides up to continue automatically? Does the imported animated PPT need to be tweaked somehow for Captivate to see it?
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated - it's basically driving me nuts!
Thanks in advance,
Aarti

Hi Kerry,
I think the earlier issue in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1944947#1944947 may solve this problem as well.
I think I was doing it backwards by setting the time on the slide properties rather than the object properties (video or otherwise). Once I implemented your suggestion for the thread mentioned above the Branching View now shows all 9 slides! Which is a huge step up from what I was seeing earlier.
*testing now*
I just tested to see whether the project plays through from Slide 1 -> video slide -> animated PPT -> Next slide in course without having to use next buttons and it played through perfectly. I may just set the next button to show up after the video plays/ animated ppt plays so the slides are consistent visually.
Thanks once again!
