Exporting Slide Notes

Hi,
When building any eLearning modules in Captivate we always
start the instructional design in another tool. This tool outputs a
basic text file that details the initial design ideas including
scripts.
From this document we build the basic structure of the module
in Cap3 then we go through slide by slide to ensure the scripts are
correct/make sense etc. I then up date the scripts back in the
other tool, output the text file again and send this to our
voiceover artist to record.
I figured I could make life easier by copying the scripts
into the slide notes section in Cap3 during the initial build. Then
update them directly while looking at each slide. Then export the
slide notes and send this to the artist.
Sorry for the essay, here are my questions:
Is there a way that I can output the slide notes only,
without the slide backgrounds?
Is there a way I can easily output only slides with notes?
Thanks
Craig

Hi Craig
About the closest you may probably come is to use the "Export
XML" option.
Cheers... Rick

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?

Aperture Exported Slide Show Does not show last few photos

I exported an Aperture Slide show for an AppleTV (720P). The slide show has over 2000 photos from a recent trip. The slide show is about 115 minutes long.
Everything works fine until about the last few minutes, the music works fine but the screen goes black for about 7 photos, comes back on for 2-3 then goes black for the last 5 or so photos. Does anyone have any idea why the end of the exported slide show is doing this? If I watch the preview on my MAC everything looks fine all the way to the end.

In my case it was because my hard drive was nearly full. I emptied the trash (had not done this in quite sometime) and it freed up a lot of disk space. The full slide show compiled fine after this. I found this when another recompile warned me that there was not enough disk space to compile. Hopes this helps.

CP5-Slide Notes generate 100's of pages and hose PC

Using CP5 in TCS3.
I created slides notes for my CP project. I clicked Publish and selected Print, and selected an export range of All, Handouts type, and 2 slides per page.
It seems to create a Word document, but I should have 12 pages for 24 slides. Instead I get only 3 and Word locks up. Occasionally, I will just let the Word document sit there and it will display 1 of some outrageous number (it can range from several hundred to several thousand).
Any ideas what would cause this. It worked fine the first few times I generated, but just recently (after an update) it started to act up.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Which operating system are you using and what is the version of Microsoft word?
Thanks,

Captivate Displays Wrong Slide Note

I’ve been experimenting as to why Captivate slide notes
sometimes seem to change at random. Since I use the notes to hold
audio transcriptions, it was a nasty surprise to find lots of them
overwritten with notes from other slides. It seems that both
Captivate versions 2 and 3 mishandle slide notes when you switch to
Branching view with a slide other than slide 1 selected, though V3
is somewhat better behaved. If this is old news – I’m
two weeks with Captivate and still in the steep part of the
learning curve – then I plead being a newbie.
I’ve considered two workarounds: putting the notes into
closed captions – which aren’t affected by this but are
hard to see at a glance unless I export them to Word – or
always remembering to select slide 1 in Storyboard before jumping
to Branching.
I assume that this isn’t restricted to my two
pc’s (both WinXP SR2) and may help explain several posts
describing slide notes being changed. So, has anyone else found
additional explanations for why slide notes are unstable? Better
yet, does anyone know of a fix? This always remembering business
seems most unlikely – for me at least.
Here are the details of what I’ve discovered so far.
Captivate V2 – selecting a slide other than slide 1 in
Storyboard view and then switching to Branching view overwrites the
selected slide’s note with slide 1’s note. If the
selection contains more than one slide, the highest numbered slide
in the selection is overwritten. If slide 1 doesn’t have a
note, the “click to add notes for the selected slide”
message is displayed as the note for the selected slide. If you do
not click in the note, the note remains intact. If you do click,
the note is overwritten. So, beware of jumping between Storyboard
to rearrange slides and Branching to edit paths because
you’ll probably trash your notes. That’s how I wrecked
havoc.
Captivate V3 trial version – selecting a slide other
than slide 1 in Storyboard or Edit view then switching to Branching
view improperly displays the selected slide’s note (you see
slide 1’s note) but does not overwrite the selected
slide’s note. However if you edit the improperly displayed
note in Branching view, the original note is overwritten. So, in V3
leaving the notes box collapsed will probably prevent problems
since you won’t notice the error and inadvertently make it
permanent. Seems like a reason to upgrade, even though it’s a
bit thin, being the lesser of two evils.

Hello Docedoc,

Aperture slideshow export fails - not enough disk space

hey
aperture 3.0 on Lion on macbook air 2011.
i am trying to export a slideshow I created in aperture (200 files, total several hundred mb plus 1 audi mp3)
however, anything over "ipod touch" resolutions throws the error
Unable to Export Slideshow
Not Enough Free Disk Space.
Free up space on the disk and try again.
I have more than 15 GB free, how could it possibly be the reason?
Any ideas?

and where would this data be stored now? because I cannot find it to delete it to recover that disc space...
my situation is critical... I cannot even open the finder because I have zero disc space left after trying to render out my video from a 1 hour slide show with music.
I was supposed to have this completed by tonight and move onto other editing tasks..

Using slide notes for closed captioning

Is there any way to import slide notes into closed
captioning? In our Captivates we use the slide notes to create a
script for the narration. This is exactly what we'd want to have
appear in the closed captioning, but currently we have to copy and
paste the notes for each slide into the closed captioning dialog.
Futzy and time consuming! Does anyone have suggestions for
streamlining this process?
Thanks!
Judi

Judi,
I don't think there is a way to import slide notes into the
closed captions. But, I'm using the Closed Captions to create a
script document for the audio.
1. I import a blank MP3 onto the slide.
2. Right click the audio layer in the timeline, and then
click Closed Captions.
3. Type in the desired text you want displayed in the closed
captions.
4. Save the project.
5. Export the the project captions and closed captions to a
Word Doc.
6. Have the script reviewed and edited.
7. Import that same document back into Captivate. Your closed
captions will be automatically updated.
This is a nice way to create a design (script) document you
can use to send out for review instead of placing your scripts in
the slide notes section.
Hope this helps.

AP8 - Slide Notes playing like Closed Caption

I have slide notes for each of my slides in Adobe Presenter 8. But when I export the presentation, the output plays through the slide notes like they were closed captions by highlighting each line in time to the audio. I DO NOT want this and do not know how to disable it. I want the slide notes to be static and not move. I cant even slide down in the notes file due to the "closed caption" effect where each sucessive line is highlighted.
There is no video, and no included closed captions.
Any help on how I can stop this would be GREATLY appreciated!

Can you please describe the current process steps you're using to add these 508 texts? Are you using the Accessibility button to open the dialog for each image?

FDM export to HFM - 2nd export did not clear all data from 1st export?

Has anyone experienced exporting a replacement FDM file to HFM where the 2nd file did not contain an account that was present in the original file and that account/value in the 1st file then remained in the HFM trial balance and caused it to be out of balance? Does the replace export option not clear all the prior file data? The only unusual part of it might be that the problem account was derived using logic group script? Thanks.

Thanks Hensen - Sure, it was easy enough to fix once I deduced what the problem was - although my solution was just to use the data clear function and reload. The real question is how to prevent it from happening again and it sounds like I can't do much about it - other than trying to train the users to watch out for do-over files that have fewer accounts than the original load?? Am I wrong to think that HFM should try to fully clear all previous data from a load file if there is a replacement or at least try to validate whether or not all prior accounts have been repopulated?? There's plenty of good validation in the validation step of FDM. Why not during the export step? If this makes sense, I'll put in another "enhancement request" to support.

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)? I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

If you add a new slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data), to an existing presentation then save, Keynote will only save the new content to the file, it wont save pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
The time taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

Is there anyway to publish each slide build in Captivate 5.5 to a word doc with slide notes?

I am looking for a way to print out my slides in a word document so that my copy editor can not only read my slide notes, but also view what is on my slide making sure there are not any errors. When I build my slides, I stack images up with things fading in and out enabling me to record audio for only one slide as opposed to each build. However when I publish to the handouts, my copy editor receives a slide with a lot of things built up on it and she can not see everthing that is on the slide (only what's on top). Does anyone have any advice or information they can give me relating to publising to handouts or storyboarding so that each slide build is seen?
Thank you in advance! I appreciate any help on this!

Captivate's handouts work in much the same way as PPT handouts. If you had a lot of objects and animation on a single PPT slide it wouldn't look much different to a Captivate slide.
One good thing about Captivate though is that if you hide objects on the timeline for a given slide, the way that slide looks in Edit mode is pretty much what it will look like in the Handout doc graphic. With judicious hiding of extraneous objects your slide printout won't look too bad. The reviewers should at this stage mostly be just looking at the voiceover script anyway. The NEXT stage of the review cycle would be to check the animation and syncing with the approved voiceover.
There's no way you can give your reviewer a Word doc straight out of Captivate that will show how you've animated the objects (fade ins and fade outs or effects etc). If it's essential tey see this in action then consider sending them a PDF output from the project with TTS speech from the voiceover script and objects roughly synced to the TTS. I don't see any point wasting too much time on getting everything synced perfectly at this stage because reviewers are just as likely to change a lot of the voiceover and render a lot of work useless. But some reviewers have no imagination and can't get an idea of how the elearning will turn out until they see it almost finished. Managers are the most likely to be like this. And the higher up in management they are, the less imagination they have.

Include in Export does not work in APEX 3.1

I have a report with many columns. On screen I only show several columns, but on export to CSV I want to include all columns.
However, when "Show on Report" is set to No, and I want to set "Include in Export" to Yes on the "Print Attributes" tab, it does not get updated.
It only gets updated when the "Show on Report" is set to Yes.
It also seems that the "Include in Export" on the "Report Attributes" tab is not in sync with the "Include in Export" on the "Print Attributes" tab the first time you access the "Print Attributes" tab.
Question: Does "Include in Export" only works for columns which has the "Show on Report" set to Yes? If Yes, how can I achieve the above mentioned?
Guido

Marc,
After some investigations the following can be concluded:
On the Report Attributes tab, pick a column, and set "Show Column" to Yes, "Include in Export" to Yes, and no conditions.
I do not want this column to be printed, so on the Print Attributes tab, set the "Column Width" to 0.
When you run the report, you will notice that the column is not included in the export to CSV and not printed.
Setting the "Column Width" to a value greater than 0, the export to CSV works fine, but the column is also printed.
You can have a look at page 1 at at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=261 (demo/ankpm)
Thanks Patrick for your solution (:REQUEST LIKE 'FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_%'), it works great. The column is now not show on screen but included in the export to CSV. However, you have to set the column width to a value greater than 0.
An enhancement request for 4.0 could be to also have a property "Include in Print", and that this property and "Include in Export" are not dependent on the "Show Column" value.

Error while rendering: Export file not found - what to do?

Hi,
I have been editing my video in four different premiere pro projects (as I got adviced to do from these forums because it's AVCHD clips). I have rendered these four projects and burned to four DVD's (total playtime is around 1.5hours) - which is working fine.
But then I try to import all four projects into one big master project because I want to make a blu-ray iso. The import goes fine (I import like this: File > Import > Choose project > Import entire project)
I export to encore, make the menus etc. and click "build" to start rendering. The problem is that after some time I get this error:
Blu-ray Object: "sequence-name-here/project-name-here.prproj", Export file not found
I have seen this error before while rendering some of the four individual projects - but when I saw them I simply just tried again by exporting to encore from the projects again. This seemed to work - but with the big master project I have tried several times with no luck.
Can anyone help me fix this issue? :)

Yes, I got this too:
For posterity, here is what I have found that completely fixes this error, repeatedly: Clear Encore's cache. Specifically:
Close your Encore project and exit Encore
Go to the cache subdirectory named for your project (ie. if your save file is c:\projects\mymovie.ncor then go to c:\projects\mymovie\cache)
Delete the file "mlf.cache.v10"
If your Encore project contains any Premiere Pro dynamically-linked assets, start Premiere Pro and load at least one of the projects used in Encore. (I have found that this reduces memory usage -- for some reason, Premiere Pro takes up less memory than if Encore spawns the PProHeadless.exe media server to serve the same function)
Restart Encore and load your project
...and wait, patiently, for Encore to re-scan all of your assets and build up the cache again and don't touch it until it's finished. I use Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653) to watch my disk activity and CPU to know when Encore is finished (just hover on the cyan-colored graph and you can see what program is performing the most disk activity). Once it's all finished, I save, then immediately try to build my project again. For proof of concept, my 40GB BD-50 project just built last night after getting this error yesterday afternoon.
If any of your assets are not transcoded before you begin this process, transcode them all, then start this process over again from step one. Clearing the cache does not clear the transcodes.
I hope this helps someone. I was not looking forward to completely re-authoring my project, which I've been working on (on and off) for a few months.
