How to import sounds in Powerpoint to Captivate?

When I import Powerpoint slides into my Captivate show, the animation displays, but the sound effects in the Ppt slide don't play in Captivate.  The sound file comes from Clip Organizer and is a Wave file and opens with Windows Media Player.
I really need to finish this show, could somebody please help?  Much appreciated!

Hi there
If the file is in WAV format try this. Click Start > Run, type sndrec32 into the Run dialog and press Enter. This should open the Windows Sound Recorder application. From inside Sound Recorder, click File > Open and navigate to the WAV file. Click File > Save As and choose the Change... button at the bottom of the dialog. Make no changes and click OK. (this action should convert the format to PCM encoding)
Now that you have changed the file try importing into Captivate again and see if it works.
Cheers... Rick

  • How to import an Engage interaction into Captivate 6?

    Can someone please advise how to import an Engage interaction into Captivate 6?

    Welcome to the forum,
    Articulate Engage interactions are still AS2, if it hasn't changed recently since I checked last time. This means that you cannot insert them as an animation. However, you should search on the Articulate forum (always pointed at so much better than this one ) because there is an explanation how you can insert them as webobjects.
    If this still is indeed AS2, too bad, but Articulate should urgently upgrade to AS3,

  • Importing sound from powerpoint 13 to Captivate 7

    I am converting powerpoint 2013 using the high defintion feature.  Is there a reason this is not working.  I thought captivate 7 converted all animations and audio.  Is it related to my selection during the recvording process in powerpoint related to sound file type.  Cna this be avoided in the future when I record in powerpoint?  Thanks for your help. 

    I've seen this issue reported by others. Unfortunately I have no explanation for why it doesn't seem to work. Earlier I tested by recording and importing to create a project from PPT and my audio came in just fine. I'm using a Windows 7 PC with Office 2010.
    I know that doesn't help you resolve the issue for the moment, but you do have options here.
    Option one is to use Captivate's "video recording" feature and capture system sounds. Then play the PPT and record it as it plays using Captivate.
    Option two is to locate the .PPTX file using Windows file explorer. Copy it and rename the copy from .PPTX to .ZIP. From there you are able to extract the assets (such as the desired audio). Then you may add the audio separately to either an object or as slide narration in Adobe Captivate.
    Hope fhis helps a smidge... Rick

  • Import failure between Powerpoint 10 and Captivate 1.01.1451

    Hello from France,
    I use File > Import > PPT slides in Captivate 1.01
    Then in the "WHERE?" box, I choose the place in the cp file
    where to import the PPT slides
    Then I click OK and the box closes.
    Then I see that a box appears very very shortly, whose
    content i can hardly see, but I read something like "creating
    thumbnails". Then, nothing at all.
    So I wonder, why me
    ? is CPT 1.01 able to import from PPT 10 ? Or is
    there another explanation ?
    Thanks for you attention, and you help,
    Nathalie

    Hi Nathalie
    I'm not sure if Captivate is capable of importing from
    PowerPoint 10. Maybe that's the issue. But your description sounds
    like a "Privileges" issue with the PC. See if IT can relax your
    privileges a bit.
    If that isn't possible, you might still be able to get your
    PowerPoint into Captivate by setting the PowerPoint up to play in a
    window. Then size Captivate recording area so it surrounds the
    PowerPoint and record the PowerPoint as it plays, just as you would
    record an application demonstration.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Importing and editing PowerPoint (animations) in Captivate 5

    <banging head on desk> <and cursing>
    I started my Captivate by importing a PowerPoint slide show. I've added audio and am doing most of the animation in PowerPoint since it's lots of bullets and some charts and things. I thought it'd be easier to manage this way and wanted to see how it all works since I'm new to version 5 of Captivate.
    So I edit the PowerPoint, go back to Captivate, update the presentation and it seems to be working okay. Then I thought I'd try something different ... what if I edit just the slide so I don't have to wait for the entire thing to update?
    IT WRECKED MY ANIMATION. (waaa!)
    I spent a lot of time getting the animation perfect and the edit I made is the only thing now animated, the rest shows up as a group.
    Did I do something wrong?
    Is there a preferred way to work with Captivate and PPT together? Is it a crazy idea I have that I'm wanting to control the animation in PowerPoint?
    Captivate doesn't have the control of working with paragraph level animation, does it?
    Thanks,
    Jo

    Hi Jo,
    Do I understand it all right: your issue was originated when you tried to edit one slide with the roundtripping from Captivate to Powerpoint? What is indicated in the Library besides the Presentation? Which version of PPT are you using?
    I prefer myself to have everything in Captivate, because imported PPT-animations are just FMR and editing in CP is cumbersome.  But the roundtripping is there to be used of course and should work. I hope that your CP-version is up to date?
    A bulleted animated list could also be spread on different slides if you do not want the workaround with different Text Captions.

  • How do I disconnect a Powerpoint presentation from a Captivate .cp?

    I am a new user to captivate. I am using Captivate 4. I imported a powerpoint presentation into my captivate slides. I am not sure what I did, but the presentation is connected across my captivate presentations. For example: While practicing I created four presentations. If I edit a .ppt slide in one captivate, the slide edits in the other three. How do I disconnect the powerpoint slides from the captivates?
    Also, I have tried to import a new .ppt into a captivate and captivate will only open the old .ppt, even though I am pointing to the new one. Why is that?
    Thank you,
    Condopoe

    You may need to change the linkage to the PowerPoint file so that it becomes embedded instead of linked.
    Here are the instructions from the Help:
    Change link type after importing the presentation
    Open the Adobe Captivate project in Edit mode and navigate to a slide that was imported from the PowerPoint presentation.
    Click Edit PPT and select Find Presentation In Library. When you select this option, the PowerPoint presentation containing the slide is highlighted in the library.
    In the Library panel, right-click the presentation in the Presentation folder.
    Do one of the following:
    Select Change To Linked if you have not linked to (embedded) the presentation during import. Specify a location for the linked file on your computer.
    Select Change To Embedded to embed the linked file into your project.
    Here is the screenshot:

  • I am having trouble importing powerpoint to captivate

    I am having trouble importing powerpoint to captivate.
    I am using captivate 6 and powerpoint version2013.
    I have saved my file three times with the right sequence, but when it converts to captivate ischanges the sequence of the slides.  Not all slides have animation.

    Hi there,
    Can you please tell are you importing the .ppt or .pptx?
    Captivate 6 is not tested with PowerPoint 2013, please check the help file link: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/microsoft-powerpoint.html
    If the sequencing of slides is not O.K., then are you able to manually change the sequence in captivate? (as a workaround).
    Thanks.

  • How stop imported ppt animations from getting out of sync when  captivate 4 is paused?

    When we pause captivate 4, the imported power point animations keep going. We import power point slides into Captivate 4, then import audio into Captivate and set the animation timings ("after previous" -no clicks - video is set to automatic forward)  in ppt to synch with the audio. We also add Captivate popups etc. After we publish, when the pause button is used, Captivate pauses and the audio pauses but the power point animations get out of synch - the ppt animation timings do not seem to recognize the pause. How can we fix this?

    Ruth,
    I have been able to fix the problem with adding a second on each slide.  So all but 7 of my slides now are in sync.  I had one slide change, not play its narration as the narration from the previous slide finished.  And then it move on to the next slide.  According to the manual, you can adjust the speed of the slide transition.  So I am playing with the timeline for each slide.  I am almost there.  I didn't have any change of slides after the first transition to almost perfect synchronization with all but 7 slides out of 60, including one skip over.  It seems each problem solved creates a new problem. I fixed resolution by adjusting the resolution settings. I enabled the variable showing of the slide based on the narration, rather than the default 3 seconds.  So I am making progress.
    Thanks for responding,

  • How to import

    Hi,
    I have import the application pages and tables.When i seen the pages the process that i have define in application was not present.How to export the process,triggers,cursors made in application and then how to import them in another worksapce.
    secondly i have export the workspace now how to import it in another workspace what file type need to be taken at time of import.
    Thirdly i want to run my application on another pc may i need to provide only home page url on that pc.what else needed.

    <mak pai>
    I am able to export the workspace but still not able to import it.I have gone through document but still not able to do it.can u please let me know the steps for this.
    </mak pai>
    <raj>
    a workspace definition can only be imported into an htmldb instance by the htmldb instance administrator. that's the admin user that's created when you first install html db. since you're not logged in as an Admin to your instance, you're running into those errors when trying to import the workspace definition. it doesn't sound as if you want to export/import your workspace, though. it sounds as if you have a source instance and a target instance of html db. you have valid logins into workspaces on both machines and now you want to move an app from one instance to the other. to do this, you'd export the "Application" rather than your "Workspace" (so in your step 3 above, you'd stay on the "Application" tab rather than the "Workspace" one). you should be then able to upload that file into your target instance pretty easily (so in your step 5 above, you'd select "Application Export").
    </raj>
    <mak pai>second thing is that when i am exporting and then importing the table the forign key constraint ,check constraint applied at source application is not in target application,though the reference table is also exported.I have applied these constraint through wizard at source application. whether i am making mistake anywhere or i have to apply constrint again at source.
    </mak pai>
    <raj>
    please re-read my first answer to your first question above. the quick answer to your question, again, is that html db doesn't move your database objects for you when you export stuff from the DataWorkshop. the DataWorkshop just assists you in moving your table data. you have to do that other stuff yourself. please do see above, though, for a more complete answer to this.
    </raj>
    hope this helps,

  • How to import a .wav file for adding to a clip in imovie 09

    I want to know how can we import a .wav file in Imovie 09.
    The sound is in some location on my 2nd hard disc.
    I checked this page
    http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-import-audio-into-imovie-09-project s.navId-323836.html
    but this does not help my requirement.
    I have a video in which there was a lot of hiss recorded via camera I exported the audio and using some audio filtering softwares cleaned the sound and now I want to import this clean sound back to my imoive project.
    It is a .wav file which is clean and without hiss.

    I see.By the time I saw your msg I had done the same and opened Itunes to play.
    There was an option in Imovie to import Itunes playlist or file and was able to do so.
    Any one will guess as in File some import menu
    should exist for this.In this case it was not that.
    mp3 clip needs to be played in Itunes
    where Itunes will make it a part of the mp3 library it has.
    Then Imovie 09 has a way to import the shared playlist from itunes.

  • Importing sound into Premier Pro CS3

    I have a Sony HDR-XR100 HD video camera.  It saves files with an .m2ts extension.  This extension is not supported by CS3.  Using Sony's PMB (Picture Motion Browser), I convert the .m2ts files to .mpeg2.  When I import these files into Premier, they appear, but have no audio.  How do I import the audio?  Thanks.
    David

    I put it in the main Premier folder, presumably like you did, and it worked.  I'm not real familiar with Macs, but the folder I put it in was "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3".  There are several other files there with similar names.  If that doesn't work, I'm lost, since obviously I had to come here for help myself :).

    Subject: Importing sound into Premier Pro CS3
    Hey, I'm using CS for Mac and I'm having the same issue , importing .mpg into PPro and get no audio.
    I found the ad2ac3dec.dll file online but I'm not sure what folder to place it in. I've found the folder named Adobe Premire Pro CS3 and just pasted it into that but it didn't work.
    My camera only records in .mpg and I really don't want to spend money on a converter after spending a bucketload for CS3...
    Any help would be much appreciated!

  • How to Import WMA files into i Tunes?

    Can anyone suggest how to import my Wma files from Windows Media Player on a PC into iTunes on my iBook?
    Many Thanks!

    ITunes will not import nor play Windows Media Audio files. If they're not copy-protected, though, you may be able to convert them with EasyWMA (freeware) or Sound Converter ($10.00 US).

  • How do I open CP3 files in Captivate V7

    We've just purchased licences to upgrade our Captivate V3 to V7. Does anyone know how to open our CP3 files in Captivate V7... if this can be achieved??

    Hello,
    You will not be able to open cp-files created with CP3 in CP7. Maybe if you could try to open them in CP5 (if you find someone with that version) as an intermediate step?
    There has been so many changes (extension, ActionScript...), that I would really recommend to recreate the files in CP7 if you need to upgrade them. Backgrounds, images, sound clips can be recovered from the old files.
