Updating Power Point slides changes the timeline

Hi all
I am using Captivate 4
When I am updating the power point slides it changes the captivate timeline for the slides
I set the slides to be 3 seconds and after each update I perform it extends all the slides to a longer period
Why is it acting like that?
Is there a way to prevent it from happening with every update I perform?
Thanks for your help
Merav

Hi Lilybiri,
The PPT slides that I add to the Captivate are not animated, these are static slides and I would like to set the duration for them.
The problem is that with every update the timing is overridden.
Thanks for your help,
Merav.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Question:
    Does any one know any software which can be integrated with Java to generate Power Point slides on the fly. I am looking for software component similar to iText for generating pdf.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Is there a way to replace a Power Point slide in Captivate and keep the CC notes?

    Hello,
    I have a lot of Power Point slides in my Captivate project. The Power Point presentation is on a Share Point, so it is impractical to "link" the Captivate project with the Power Point presentation.  Now and then we need to make changes to the Power Point slides and then replace the old slide in Captivate with the new slide.  We have a lot of CC notes and TTS attached to each slide, so I lose all of that when I replace the slide.  Is there a way to keep the synchronized CC and TTS notes in place, and just replace the acutal slide?
    Thank you!
    Ryan

    1 - simplest way:
    drag the sound file on to the audio well in the Inspector > document > document tab
    music can only start on the first slide and will play untill the music ends, you can only have one music file in the presentation
    2 - more control
    drag the sound file on to any slide, add the  images on to the same slide and use Builds to reveal each image in turn

  • 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!

    Open the PowerPoint in Keynote. Make sure there aren't any significant problems like missing fonts or badly reflowed text. Using the Document tab of the Inspector, change the size to 1920x1080 or 1280x720 as appropriate.
    Generally, Keynote will do a good job. Objects move without stretching and text boxes expand to fill the space. Background images may stretch; check each slide to be sure.
    Finally, export the whole thing to still images, or a QuickTime movie if you want fancy transitions.

  • 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.

  • Changing the Software Update preference file to change the Scheduled Check

    Hi All,
    I have 500 users and an XServe which I use to push out the software updates.
    I've changed the plist file to point at the server, but I am now thinking as some users haven't got auto check, some have, is there a way to edit the preference to force the OS to check for updates.
    I dont fancy going round every Mac to check manually, I'd prefer just to push out a plist file through ARD,
    Any thoughts

  • 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.

  • Correct dimensions for Power POint Slides

    What would you all recommend for dimensions for Power Point slides so that they fill up the screen
    with no border. My customer is cramming too much text on each slide and it is beyond title safe, going to near edge of TV screen upon viewing.
    I have sequences that are both 16 x9 (720 x 480) and 4 x3 .
    Thanks,
    Al

    I agree with that much text it is not looking good on the TV that I am testing it on. On computer it is better. I thought about the color layer below the slide but the design of the slide has 2 color boxes, (one horizontal, one vertical) on it and putting a layer below doesn't look good so far.
    I am probably going to have to edit each slide and shrink the font and increase the borders.
    I am talking to the admin who made them today.
    A bigger problem is that they have trouble playing the DVD's I make with iDVD in their PC environment. The DVD's either play jerkily or not at all compounded by the fact that the people have lost all the remotes to their DVD players and can't pick a chapter. So I am trying to come up with work around.
    Thanks for response,

  • I can not delete some power point files in the trash.help?

    I can not delete some power point files in the trash.help?

    Hi Gary,
    The presentations were created originally with PowerPoint. I have been using them on both KeyNote and PowerPoint with no problem, even after updating to MountainLion. Problems started at the 10.8.3 upgrade. The installation was an upgrade form Lion. Yes I mean Open Office, I am able to open the presentation with Open Office and play it with no problems.
    The presentation gets loaded by Power Point and the Power Point freezes. Key Note can not even load it. Stops 3/4 of the way. This happens with ALL my presentations.
    I want to thank you for your help.
