Captivate into Powerpoint on a Mac

I want to be able to create a software demo in captivate.....but then move it into Powerpoint presentation. Essentially be able to click mouse to move powerpoint slide forward one part of the demo at a time.
In short...
Mouse click in powerpoint to forward to demo step #1 from captivate
Be able to talk about the slide and section of the demo
Then mouse click in powerpoint to forward to demo step #2 from captivate
Be able to talk about the slide and section of the demo
Then mouse click in powerpoint to forward to demo step #3 from captivate
Etc
Etc
Etc
Is this possible?

Well, in Captivate, click the Interactions button on the Big Button Bar and choose Click Box. Just drag it out to cover the captivate slide so it's nice and easy to click. It should already be programmed to go to the next slide. But if you need to go to a section, you will need to open the properties and configure it to jump to a specific slide.
Cheers... Rick

Export Captivate into PowerPoint or Adobe Presenter or similar?

I have created a 30 minute security awareness course using Adobe Captivate 8 and one of the firm members asked if I could put the content into a user-friendly type program that he could manipulate, extract from and create his own mini e-alert type lessons from for his clients. He wants to be able to add his own comments in his own voice, change the content to be client-specific, etc. I do not know how to take the information I have in Captivate and move it into a novice type program. Any suggestions?

PIP is available in Presenter Video Creator, not in the normal Presenter plug-in. It is not available in Captivate normal projects with extension cptx. You can insert a PIP in the TOC, but have to record it separately.
In Captivate HD Video Demo, extension cpvc (which is also a video creator with a dedicated video editor) you can insert a PIP in the editor. But again you have to create it separately.
The choice is up to you: an easy way to have both recordings together, with very limited editing possibilites in Presenter. Or the Captivate way, more work, better editor.
Afraid to repeat again: we are only talking about pure video now. In the normal Captivate files, that are based on slides, you can insert a video (like a PIP) and distribute it over slides, adapting the slide markers is available in the Video menu. No webcam recording for the moment in Captivate.

Insert Captivate 4 Project Into PowerPoint 2003

I have been following Captivate's (v4) instructions to insert a project into PowerPoint (2003).
When I get to the part where, according the Captivate Help, in PowerPoint I have to open <Properties> of the box I have created in PowerPoint where the project will be inserted, and then click on "Custom" on the first line, there is no item "Custom" in the <Properties> box, see below:
Has anyone also found this and have you any help for me ?

Hello again
You need to make a choice here. I'm not sure what exactly is meant by what you said:
...but the file is inserted in a full page, while I just want to have a link to it...
Captivate content may be inserted into the body of a topic. Once there, it appears along with other topic information. You may also import the HTML page Captivate creates for you. To do that, you would click File > Import > HTML page. This would allow you to create a link in the TOC or the Index or from the body of a topic that would link to the full page.
If you wanted to link directly to the SWF and avoid any HTML pages, just add the SWF as a Baggage File by right-clicking the Baggage folder or in the Project Manager. Then you can link just to the SWF. Note, however, that this isn't recommended because you have no control over how the SWF looks. Perhaps the Captivate SWF is designed to present at 640x480 and when it opens in this manner, the browser is full screen. The SWF is then stretched to fill as much of the screen as it can. And that can make the quality of the SWF seriously degrade.
Your call... Rick

Is there a way of copying from illustrator CC (mac) into powerpoint 2013 (pc) while using parallels?

Keeping it as a vector, of course!

What do you mean, 'how should that work?'
Do you know what parallels is? It allows you to use both operating systems (windows and mac) at the same time while using a Mac.
When I previously had illustrator on my windows, I could copy whatever shape or i had designed, from Illustrator into powerpoint 2013 without a problem. It comes in as a .emf which I can then scale, change colours, change the points in the shape.... all things vectors can do. Now I have to export it from illustrator as an emf and them import it into powerpoint to get the functionality that I need. It just adds an extra step to the process, but since i do this a lot it would save me tons of time. This blog post made me think there may me a patch available.

Embedding YouTube video into PowerPoint for Mac

How can one embed a YouTube video into PowerPoint for Mac 2010? The video tutorials do not show the same Power Point (for Mac) that I'm using. Even if I can just save (and retrieve) the file I just might be able to convert it to an MP4 for YouTube. I've tried keepvid and it wants a valid file format. The default is a text which doesn't work. I've spent about 8 hours over the past 2 days trying to figure it out. HELP!!!!!!

Inserting a .wmv file into a powerpoint 2011 for mac

When I try to insert a wmv file in powerpoint 2011 for mac I get the following error. "Powerpoint couldn't insert a movie from the selected file. Either the file is non standard or Quicktime is not installed properly." I do have Flip4Mac installed. I also tried to rename the .wmv file as a .mov file. Thanks in advance for your help.

I do have Flip4Mac installed. I also tried to rename the .wmv file as a .mov file.
Do you have the $29 (or greater) Flip4Mac decoder component installed? Changing the file extension at the Finder level does not change the data type contained within the file nor the file container type. If you want the WMV data in an MOV file container, you must use the QT 7 Pro (or MPEG Streamclip) "Save As..." option (together with the decoder component) to partially expand the WMV data (file will be noticeably larger) and place the expanded data in a "real" MOV file container.

Importing Flash into PowerPoint

Hello - I have a Flash file that I would like to import into PowerPoint. Below are my questions. I am hoping to get some guidance on this.
First a few pieces of information:
1. I use a Mac but have a Parallel system at work so I have access to Windows PPT 2008. I am using Flash CS5.
2. The Flash file is not huge, it's just these animated curtains that open up to reveal a logo and text.
Questions:
1. I have found the only way to import the Flash file is to export as a .mov and then import that into PPT. This works great EXCEPT for that the text and logo look blurry in PPT. I have no idea why.
2. Is it possible to export a .mov file with just the curtain animation but with a transparent background so that when I import into PPT, we can just type the text directly within PPT and not have to include that in the Flash file?
3. I read online that you can import SWFs into Windows PPT but I have not been able to get that to work either.
Thanks in advance for any and all information!!

Garage Band into Powerpoint

I'm trying to import a Garage Band file into Powerpoint for Mac. When I link to the file with an action button in Powerpoint, I get an error message saying Powerpoing can't read file (or something similar).
Is there a way to save a garage band edit into a recognizable file that powerpoint can read?

You'll have to export your GB file to iTunes (as an AAC or AIFF file). Then PP will probably be able to read it.

How do you transfer music from an external hard drive into iTunes on a mac, but not write the music into the mac's internal hard drive?

I am trying to load an external library with about 700 gigs of music into iTunes on my mac, but of course my mac's inter hard drive is much less than that. Is there a way I can load the music onto iTunes without importing it into my computer? I use this hard drive for DJing so it is plugged in the majority of the time. I have iTunes 12.0.1.26 on a 2011 13" MacBook Pro.

Do you use both the internal and external drives for storing music or just the external drive? If both, hold down the option key while dragging media to iTunes to get it to leave the media where it is and add the track location information to iTunes. A better solution would be to relocate the entire iTunes library to the external drive and run it all from one place. This will also make it easier to make backups of the library as you should since you are using this in a professional capacity and your livelihood depends upon it. We can provide advice on how to do this once we know more about your setup (is there an existing library already, and where?)

I had all photos on a Windows desktop. Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive. When I go to import them into LR on the Mac, they are all locked. Help, please. Thanks

I had all photos on a Windows desktop. Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive. When I go to import them into LR on the mac, they are all locked. Help, please!

"I plugged the external into the Mac and moved a folder of images onto the desktop. It looks like it went from read only to not locked. Is this possible?"
Yes, that's exactly what happened. If you buy another drive, you could copy from your existing drive to the new and your files will be read/write. The new drive will have to be formatted as an HFS drive (that's the Mac's format). If you need to format it, you use Disk Utility which is in the Utilities folder on your Mac. Be careful with that -- it wipes out whatever is currently on the drive. Make sure you format the right drive.
I keep all my images on an external drive, too. In fact, I have two matching drives and sync them so I always have a backup.

Problem when saving a PowerPoint 2008 for Mac file to PDF.

When I save my PowerPoint 2008 for Mac file as a PDF, the text/font comes out wrong in the PDF -- kind of looks degraded (thinner, darker, more pixilated). I've tried changing the font in the PowerPoint file many times and tried saving it as a PDF both directly and through print -- but each time the text/font doesn't come through correctly in the PDF. The images/photos in the PowerPoint file all convert to the PDF just fine. Can anyone help?

Hi Sara!
Yes this sounds interesting. Can I update to that from the PDF Export I have just renewed? How much would that cost?
Thanks for your quick answer.

Embedding a PDF file into PowerPoint 2010, clickable in SlideShow mode

If you embed a PDF file into PowerPoint slide by both draging and dropping or instering it as an object, only the first page of the PDF is embedded as a picture or you can change it to a PDF icon.
When in design mode, the embedded PDF is clickable and is opened in Adobe Reader (either from the PowerPoint slide if directly insterted or from its physical path if linked depending on the configuration).
But in slide show mode, the picture or the icon is not clickable.
The only workaround is to assign a hyperlink to the picture or the icon (the insterted object).
Is there any other way in opening a PDF file from PowerPoint Slide Show without assigning a hyperlink ??

Hi,
Assign a hyperlink is the only way to accomplish Open file (.pdf, .docx, .xlsx) from PowerPoint Slide Show.
From PowerPoint slide show, it only identify the file with hyperlink.
Best Regards.
