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

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.

How to import power point sound on keynote ?

how can I import power point diaporamas with the sound on keynote ?

Sorry, Adobe Reader only reads PDF files, not PowerPoint files.
However, if you bought Keynote for about US $9.99 in the App Store, you could open PowerPoint files.

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

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!

Pause button with imported power point project

Hi
I imported a power point project and published it in flash swf, and when I play a slide (in flash) and try to pause the play it does not work and it continues to '
play until the end of the slide and then it stops and when I click it continues to the next slide,
How could I make the play pause the play, when I click on the pause button (see attached snapshot)
1- using captivate 5
2- ppt 2003
3- output: flash swf
Appreciate any help

Hello Lilybiri
Thank you for your patience with me and I will attach 5 snapshots (for higher resolution, right click on the image and choose open with I.E. or you could zoom in the page)
You also asked me about the click box; yes I inserted click boxes in only 2 slides (example: slide 3), as a test, in the hope of making the pause button work but it did not do the trick, you also asked about the image in the background, it is an image and not a looping video or animation.
following are the 5 snapshots (if they do not fit in this message I'll attach them to other following messages):
Many thanks

Importing Power Point into LCDS

I was wondering if there is a way to import preferably a Power Point presentation or a PDF document into LCDS without hours of copy/paste.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try viewing them on an external NTSC/PAL monitor then decide. If they still look like junk you can always regenerate them in Motion, Photoshop or Illustrator.
I've never gotten a PP presentation to look good in video unless the fonts, backgrounds, etc were all selected with that output path in mind.
good luck.

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 want to import my Power Point files (.ppt and .pptx) to my iPad via iTunes. I open ppt file in iTunes keynote file sharing than I run keynote and select copy file from iTunes. But it will jump to the home screen half way through and keynote close

I have already downloaded the Keynote app on my iphone and I see that Keynote will open PP files. How do I get my PP files, which are on my PC (Windows 7) accessable by my iphone? Looks like I can copy them to my icloud but I'm unable to determine how to get to my icloud file (I have created one through my iphone). Thanks.

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.

Importing power point slide into captivate

Not sure what I am doing wrong. I imported an animation slide
from power point to captivate last night and it worked great (using
Captivate2) I tried this morning (using cpativate 3) and the
animation will not play, it just looks like a picture. Is there
something different I have to do using Captivate 2 version vs the
Captivate 3 version? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi again yankeebrit
Well, where there's a will, there is often a way...
You could accomplish it by using what I refer to as 'The
Camtasia Approach'. Basically, it goes like this. Configure the
PowerPoint to play in a resizable window. Start the slide show in
the window, then set Captivate up to record the slideshow as it
plays. Then, when you know animation is coming, press the F9 key to
begin a full motion capture. When the animation ends, press F10 to
stop recording in full motion.
Using that technique, you are able to get what you want from
Captivate 2.
Just a thought... Rick

Importing Power Point into FCP

I am trying to import a Power Point presentation into FCP. I have matched the resolution of the Slides to 720 x 480 to match the video. The slides look fine in the Viewer but when rendered, the slides lose clarity and appear fuzzy in the Canvas window. I have tried importing the slide as a movie with the same results.
Any ideas on how to import these slides and be able to maintain clarity throughout this process is appreciated.

Try viewing them on an external NTSC/PAL monitor then decide. If they still look like junk you can always regenerate them in Motion, Photoshop or Illustrator.
I've never gotten a PP presentation to look good in video unless the fonts, backgrounds, etc were all selected with that output path in mind.

First slide pausing, without click box to initiate pause.

The fist slide of my project is a title page, that as of recently, has been pausing the entire video.
There are no click boxes or other objects in the slide (that I know of) that would initiate the pause. What's weird is, if I close Captivate, reopen the project and then preview the video the first slide does not pause and properly transitions into the second slide, however, if I preview for a second time the first slide will pause the video. I tried placing a blank slide in front of the first slide, deleting the first slide entirely and recreating from scratch but the same issues occurs.
Please, let me know what I can do to fix this issue.

Are there any advanced actions either on this slide or pointing to this slide?

Import power point greyed out

Can anyone tell me why the inport power point slides is greyed out? Could it be because I'm using PP 2003 and Captivate 5?
Thank you
Beau

Yes, it is a strange relationship Captivate with Powerpoint
Glad it is solved.

IPhoto 4 importing duplicate photos without dialog box opening

I often import pictures from my Canon PowerShot SD550 to more than one computer. I do not use iPhoto to delete photos after importing. Occasionally I need to import more recent photos to one computer before I have the opportunity to import older photos to the other computer which is at another location. I used to get a dialog box on this computer asking me if I want to import duplicate photos. I must have accidentally checked the wrong box once because iPhoto now imports all photos every time without the dialog box. How can I regain control to not import duplicates?

It's just me … restating my question. My original wording was not as clear as I thought!
I often import pictures from my Canon PowerShot SD550 to more than one computer. I do not use iPhoto to delete photos from the camera after importing. Occasionally I need to import more recent photos to one computer before I import older photos to the other computer which is at another location. I used to get a dialog box on this computer asking me if I want to replace existing photos when duplicate photos are detected. I must have accidentally checked the wrong box once because iPhoto now imports all photos every time without the dialog box and apparently without detecting duplicates. How can I regain control to not import duplicates?
