Future editing of PowerPoint imports

I am utilizing Captivate to import training modules from
PowerPoint into Flash format. The issue is that once they are
imported, they cannot be easily modified.
I am looking for a more permanent solution to create these
training modules, with future modifications in mind. Is there a
better way to create these in Captivate, or to modify the imports.
Right now, the best solution appears to be maintaining 3 versions
of each module (PP, Cap, Flash)and importing individual slides when
they are modified, which isn't feasible.
I tried copy and pasting into caption boxes, but this was
cumbersome at best, and with over 100 modules, is not practical, or
easily modified later. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, that makes sense. If that's the case then what are my options for making Captivate slides imported from PPT 508-compliant? As I said before, I added in text from the slides into the Accessibility window, but when I played it through my screen reader it didn't pick any of it up.

  • PowerPoint importing and editing

      I'm fairly new to captivate with very little training.  What I know, which is very basic, I have figured out by trial and error. The agency I work for just upgraded to Captivate 8.  I would like to know more about developing in PowerPoint, importing the PowerPoint to captivate and then editing the material.  I have figured out how to import individual PowerPoint slides, but not a complete course.  Do you have any suggestions on where I could find this information?  Another question I have is, how do you account for this size difference when developing something in PowerPoint and importing it to an 800 X 600 captivate?  As an agency, we set a standard to us an 800 X 600 captivate size. 

    Importing PPT-slides is not a good idea, if you want to edit the slides, because each PPT-slide will be converted into sort of a movie slide. The different objects will not be editable. If you want a PPT plug-in there are other and better solutions. Captivate is a real eLearning tool. Use the assets and create the CP-file from scratch if you want to edit. And it is not even possible to use PPT-slides for responsive projects in Captivate.
    To create a CP-file from a PPT, use File, New Project, Project from MS Powerpoint. The CP-file will choose a resolution that is the same as the PPT-file. One of the crazy ideas of PPT is that slide size is in print units (in or cm) instead of the more logical screen units (px).

  • Moving my project from PC to Mac for future editing on the Mac.

    I have created a project on adobe premiere elements 12 on my PC and need to move the project across to my new Mac for future editing. Is this possible and if so how can I do it?

    As John Nash points out, project files (project.prel files) created in Premiere Elements Windows will not work in Premiere Elements Mac and vice versa.
    Projects taken to completion in the program/operating system in which they are created is the way to go.
    If at all practical and depending on the "need to do" feature, you might export the Premiere Elements Windows Timeline to a .mov or .mp4
    file and then import that into a new Premiere Elements Mac project. The level of edits in Premiere Elements Mac would dictate the degree of cutting of the Timeline content in order to accomplish the wanted edits in Premiere Elements Mac.

    Yes you can. It helps a lot if the fonts and effects used have the equivalent  in Keynote otherwise they will be substituted.  It can be saved as PowerPoint or as a Keynote file.

  • IPhone edited photos are imported as originals

    I use iphone4 (IOS 7) and MBP (OSX 10.8.5). Iphone edited photos are imported with Aperture or iPhoto as originals. How can I fix this?

    The "edits" are temporary settings.  If another device such as a computer imports, the edits will not attach.  The edits become permanent when the host device (iPhone) exports the image.

  • Autoscale small (powerpoint-imported) presentation to a larger screen?

    I wished to demo KN to some PC colleagues at work, and just imported a very trivial powerpoint file into Keynote.
    I can see everything comes OK but whenever I ask Keynote to just run the show, it presents it in a very small rectangle on my large 17' screen. (the surrounding zone is black)
    Needless to say, when I use powerpoint the same presentation auto-scales niftily to use all screen surface available
    I didn't dare show this to anyone, because I can already hear the laughs: How can I get the same "auto-scaling" effect that they have on powerpoint?
    (also: is the issue due to the powerpoint import, or is it general to Keynote?)
    TIA!

    Thanks Tulse for such a quick answer -I'm a bit ashamed now

  • PowerPoint Import and Edit

    We are evaluating Captivate 3 and its ability to import
    PowerPoint. It appears the slides cannot be edited once imported?
    It looks like they are flattened.
    Can anyone tell me differently?
    Thanks

    Captivate 5 has a problem with importing shadows correctly.
    PPT audio sound will not play in captivate. You have to apply the audio in Captivate, but this does not start at the same time as PPT.  The audio clip needs pushing forward on the timeline to delay its start. This messes up the animation timings.
    I also have noticed that the last bullet/number point in a series will not play with out clicking-sometimes twice. The slide does not advance automatically even if set that way.
    It seems to be a help if you do not use the text boxes that are pre-set to Master backgrounds.
    Try setting each bullet point into a separate text box, then aligning and verticall distributing them in the Alignment tab on the ribbon.

  • Edit video without importing locally?

    I'm brand new to Final Cut and FCPX is my first experience with the product.
    I have a Mac Mini server with a thunderbolt-attached storage array that I'm using to store my raw footage.
    I'm editing video on my MacBook Air using the storage device mounted in OSX as the source. When I create a new event and import video, FCPX wants to copy the video my my MBA where I have extremely limited space.
    Do I have the wrong workflow here or maybe I'm missing an option somewhere? I just want to use the video from storage in the events instead of using any local space. Any suggestions?

    In user preference uncheck copy in the import preference. This will work for most things depending on where and what you're copying from.

  • Error while Editing Item - After importing pagegroup

    Hi All,
    We have Oracle Application server 10g (10.1.2) with Oracle Portal 10.1.2.0.0. as a test environment in win 2000 server.
    We installed a new Oracle Application server 10g (10.1.2) (production) with 10.1.2.0.2 in Suse Linux Enterprise server 9. every thing was fine.
    We have migrated one simple page group from source(win) to a new Portal in Linux ( by following the steps of Portal export / import Doc.). This is by exporting transport set, dmp file in source side and importing dmp file and transport set on the target. The import was successful. I checked the Navigator and found the imported page Group. Also all the sub pages and items have been found with proper regions.
    But when i'm trying to edit any item,region or adding region,item, it shows the following error. -----------------------

  • IPhoto images missing in Edit window after importing iPhoto albums folder

    A friend of mine with new macbook tried to import her iPhoto images from an external hardrive. She move it to her user photo album and then i believe she tried to point to it after launching iphoto. She told me there were some options windows popping up and she does not remember what they said but the current result is that many of her photos do not appear when she clicks on the thumb nails to edit them: said there is a grey field with a questin mark.
    My thought was to somehow repoint to the file or dump the .plst file.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    todd

    Todd
    The question mark shows up when the link between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window loses the location of the file it points to.
    The most common cause of this is User activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
    As your friend now sees.
    Unless your friend nows exactly what changes she has made, I'm afraid the best way to fix this is to start again, importing from your originals folder.
    There are comprehensive instructions for moving the iPhoto Library Folder in the Help, or if you need more you can most on here.
    Regards

  • Horrific PowerPoint Import

    Anyone know why PowerPoint files import into Captivate with low resolution images? The PowerPoint file has high res images, but in Captivate, looks horrfic.

    What's probably happening here is that the size of the Captivate stage is very different from the PPT sizing, and that's causing some loss of resolution when it scales.
    If you have Captivate 6, try using the new High Fidelity import setting.
    If on an older version of Cp, see if you can modify the setup of the PPT file so that it matches the Captivate slide.  Perhaps that will help. However, (and I know this is NOT what you're going to want to hear) for the ultimate solution that would keep your images at highest resolution, you'd probabl need to build the presentation in Captivate from the start using the same assets.

  • Editing a document imported into Microsoft Word

    Anyone know if there's a way to edit a scanned document that is imported into Microsoft Word? When I scan it it saves as either a JPEG file or PDF.
    Thanks!

    I've got a feeling that he means editing a textual document that was scanned in. In that case, OCR software would be needed. I'm not familiar with any on the Mac side, but I know Omnisoft works pretty well on the Windows side.
