Power Point Import

Hi All
The custom animation set in power point is not reflected
while the slides are imported into captivate. Imported slides are
appearing as image. Is there any settings. Please clarify
Thanks

FCE cannot open a PowerPoint. You'd need to export into a video format that is supported in FCE.

Power Point Import Audio Question

When I import a Power Point with audio the audio plays in my captivate file but does not appear in the library nor in the audio management area, and I can not find the audio file anywhere within captivate. Any ideas?

Can you see in the center of the slide where it gives you the
animation or click box properties, like "Click Box (646x484)"? If
you drag the right edge of the slide you will see that there are
two layers - one is a click box layer and one is an animation
layer. Also, make sure your timeline is fully expanded at the top
of the editing window - you should be able to see separate items
for audio, click box, animation and anything else you have on the
slide. If you don't see that, then click on the right pointing
arrow next to the "timeline" caption to expand the view of the
timeline. Good luck!

Subtitle import Problem, HELP!

Thanks in advance for the help. Here is the problem. I am finishing a DVD project today complete with 6 different subtitle languages. I have been importing files for weeks with no problem. But today, for whatever reason, when I import a .son file, two files that are the new correct. tiffs are imported as the wrong old .tiff. I have rid my computer of any .tiff with the same name, yet it still shows up wrong. Is there any way to purge, cache, parse subtitle files? It is referencing an old wrong one, I just dont know how. Any thoughts please help.

Hi Brian,
Yes. What DVDSP does is turn these subtitles into mpegs and places them within the project itself.
If you open the project by "Show Package Contents" from the finder. navigate your way through to Resources/Render Data and the files are in there. Just delete the files (not the folder) and you should be able to open up again and force a new build.
Let me know if you have any other problems

XML importing problems - Help!

I'm using FCP 5.0.4 and keep getting the 'a translation doc could not be found' error when trying to import. If the xml is created for a more recent version, is there anyway around it? Help... very urgent project. Thanks, Nick

v5.04 only supports FCP XML v2 or v1, it does not support v3
you should export from the later version of FCP using XML v2

Cross platform power point videos - need help!

I'm trying to create a MS powerpoint that will work on either windoze or Mac (my primary creation platform is MS office 2011 on the mac, but I also have MSO 2010 on an XP machine).
I've somewhat mastered the issues with audio files, but am stymied with videos. I have youtube donwnloaders for both the mac and windows, but cannot get a format with either that is supposed to work cross platform [I can't depend on any iTunes or other non standard apps on the windoze machines].
According to a post on a MS help site, the video formats that are supposed to work crossplatform are: MOV M4V AVI WMV. Unfortunately, neither of the youtube downloaders I have can create any of these formats that work. The downloader on windoze can create an AVI, but PPT won't display it when I embed it in the slide.

Power point 2004

Hi All-
Didn't see a forum for Power Point 2004 problems, so hope its ok to start here:
I created a PPT presentation with mostly inserted "photos from file", then added a few QuickTime video clips, several MB's each, added some graphics here and there, and saved it all to my desktop; total size of file is now 12 MB. The problem occured when I re-started my computer, after being in sleep mode only, the entire time during creation of the file.....when I tried to open my ppt presentation I received an error message that states 'Can not open file because file is either corrupt, in use, or in a format that PPT doesn't recognize.'
I've tried opening it by dbl-clicking on icon, holding down CTRL + click and OPEN WITH, and have also tried OPEN from the FILE menu within PPT, and all with the same error message. Also tried from the MOST RECENT list.
If I put it on the 'Network' at work and try to open it on a co-workers PC, will that work? and if not, what else can I try?? This was meant to be a xmas gift to my family back home in the states!
Thank you so much for any help you offer......
Cheers,

Prana72,Welcome to Apple Discussions. There won't be a Forum for Powerpoint as these forums are for Apple made products - although you're more than welcome to discuss other items like that here.
I've never come across a file getting corrupted whilst sat on the desktop it sounds very like this has actually happened. I would try opening it with another version of Powerpoint. Have you set Office to create back-up files of everything (perhaps you should in future?).
I would also open Applications > Utilites > Disk Utility and click 'Repair Permissions'.

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?

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.

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 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.

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 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

Hi Eddie
You will be able to use the Adobe Captivate he has option in
order that you bring PowerPoint, videos in flv for inside him and
to go out how swf

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.
