Importing a powerpoint presentation into FCE

I need to import a powerpoint presentation into fce. Can it be done? What does it look like? Do I need to tweak anything to make it the best possible image? Is there any online source available to learn how to do it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. many thanks. Eileen

Agreed.
I was stuck continually doing PP Presentations and was so limited in what I was able to do. You will notice that PP on an Apple does allow you to do Quicktime transitions.... anyways.
I did finally buy Keynote (purchase iWork and it comes with Pages - Microsoft Word equivalent, however, also much better) and you can bring PP into it and do what the before was mentioned.
I am curious though... is the only reason you want to bring a PP Preso into FCP is so you have it as a movie...? Do you want to also control transitions and animations...? You would be off much easier within Keynote and have much more control as far as exporting as a .mov or .pdf and the likes; Keynote is extensive. But if it is really for stills... you can "Save As..." in PP as JPEG, and PP will kickout each slide (with or without transitions) as single jpeg files (set your resolution high...) and then obviously import the jpegs into FCP, and have still images do things....
Hope this helps, but truly you are better off with the $99.00 purchase and trump to Keynote - I got my whole office hooked!!
Sincerely, Jeffrey

Need advice about importing a Powerpoint file into FCE 3.5

I am editing a live event (a 2 camera shoot). A 3 minute Powerpoint projection was shown with a music track.
Our recorded footage is useable, but I thought that I could import the original PPT file from the producers (two teenagers), for better picture quality. I managed to get Keynote to Save it as a .mov file.
However the Producers seem to have re-edited the PPT and now there is certainly no Sync with the original. The duration is much longer than the original. The image quality is however brighter and crisper than our Rushes.
Can anyone suggest any Tips on working this way with PPT. (yes, I know - no-one in their right mind would ......)
My work-around seems to be just edit as a Fit-to-Fill and hope for the best.
I am not expecting too many brilliant ideas but if there is anyone out there witha solution, I will be very grateful.
Thanks in advance
Freesh

Matt,
Thanks for your lonesome Reply. Not too many people going down this route!
I have actually managed to edit it in as a Fit-to-fill and have previewed it within the sequence. However my programme is 90 minutes long and I have had to move on. I will come back to it again to see if I can improve anything probably tomorrow - Thursday.
I cant imagine I will use this avenue too often, so I dont want to seek perfection here or waste your time. There is only a tiny budget - it is a good cause really. We do these things.
But I am alaways generally interested in building my knowledge base. I didn't find any problem in converting or importing it to FCE HD 3.5. I am running 10.4.7. I saved it as a QT Pro 7.04 .mov. I dont know too much of the technical aspects, only when something goes wrong and I have to.
I did force it to Render. But I re-edited so I haven't yet bothered with it again. I am interested to see what it looks like on a TV (I dont have a dedicated monitor at present) and on the eventual DVD which is the Delivery format.
I will post back or email you with any more info when I finish the edit if you would like?
Thanks again
Freesh

Can I import a Prezi presentation into Keynote?

The only type of presentation Keynote can import, is PowerPoint.
If you have original the original images as TIFF JPEG or PNG images, you will need to add them to each slide in Keynote.

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Import a powerpoint presentation to itunes

I need to import a PPt presentation to my Ipad via Itunes? Can anyone help me please!?

Unfortunately you cannot import a PowerPoint presentaiton directly into iTunes just as it is.
However, there are 2 things that you can do.
If you have Keynote on your iPad, then you can import a ppt into Keynote, as controlled by iTunes. Then on your ipad, you can add the presentation to the presentatons which Keynote can see. To do this,
- connect your iPad to iTunes,
- Select your iPad in iTunes
- scroll down to the file sharing part
- click on Keynote
- add the ppt that you want to the files that Keynote is sharing
Go to Keynote in your iPad
- click on the + on the top left
- add the ppt to yours by clicking on 'copy from iTunes'
Alternatively, if you don't have or want Keynote, or you want to play your ppt from within iTunes,
convert your PowerPoint into a video - newer versions of PowerPoint let you do this - 'save as movie' (remember to put in timings for each slide and have them automatically change)
Then import the video into iTunes and use it as you wish.
Good luck and do come back with any questions which you might have.

Importing clips from Imovie into FCE - Clips don't match

Hi
OK I have been successfully importing Imovie clips into FCE, but have recently hit a problem. I make a rough edit in IMovie but when I open the imported file in FCE I get different footage to that which sits in the IMovie project.
Yes I am opening the right clips

nothing?
ok I have worked around it a little by importing all the footage and that way I get most of it but still not all of it makes it through

Captivate 4 problems with audio import in powerpoint presentations

I am trying to import powerpoint presentations made in powerpoint 2003 which contain audio.
When I import them to captivate 4 I cannot hear the audion on each slide when I hit the play button.
Also, when I go to "Preview" "Play this slide (F3)" I get no audio.
If I "Preview" "Presentation" (F4) the audio plays very fast (like the "chipmunks").
If I "Preview" "From this slide (F8)" I get no sound.
If I "Preview" "The next 5 slides (F10)" I get no sound.
If I double click on the audio timeline and select the "audio" tab in the "Slide Properties" box and click the play button or edit the audio it plays normally.
I need to get this audio done ASAP. Is there anyone who knows what is going on?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Nathan-LMS,
      Can you test your course on SCORM cloud and confirm whether you observe the same behvaior on it? this will help us investigate specific to your LMS.
     1) Bookmark/resume on iPad (iOS 6) : Can you try the same course on SCORM cloud and let us know whether Bookmark/resume working fine or not? We could see this wroking at our end.
     2) Cross-domain AICC communication: Ping me on my mail id, I can provide you complete list of steps to make HTML5 content work in cross domain.
     3) Dual format publishing course plays only in IE9 or chrome 20(or above). Can you try it and let us know?
     4) Cross-platform bookmark/resume should work fine. Can you try the same scenario using SCORM cloud and let us know the behavior.
Any querries you can send me a mail to [email protected]

Can't import ACVHD video clips into FCE?

First, I've read so many forum comments on this I'm blue in the face, but i've still not found a solution. I've spent the better part of a week reading on this issue and still no joy, so please don't ask me to search - I've done that. To set up my issue...
I have a brand new Canon Vixia HF-R32 camcorder. I shot video in ACVHD (MXP) onto the camera's internal memory. I'm using Final Cut Exoress 4 on a MacBook running 10.7.4 I have a new external terabite HD set as scratch disk.
When I connect camera to computer to download clips things work to a point. I use Log and Transfer and my clips show up in the window. I can set in and out points. I can change the clip name, add scene notes, etc. etc. BUT - when I click the "Add to Que" the problem occurs. The video begins to 'process' as indicated by the little spinning status wheel. However - nothing ever shows in the transfer bar that should show the progress being made in the transfer. When the spinning wheel stops and I click on the clip I get a red circle with exclamation point and the message "Error: No Data."
YES - I have checked preferences under the gear at top of the L&T window and YES my settings are for All formats, All rates, Apple Intermediate Codec and the audio is set to Plain. That much I gleaned from other posts in various forums, but that does nothing to solve my issue. I've also checkedunder Easy Set Up and have Apple Intermediate set there.
Tonight I spent time on phone with friend who has same type (but Panasonic) camera and same software. We compared many, many settings and all seemed to be set the same. He can import video, I cannot. When he either drags and drops clips from the L&T window or uses the "add to que" button, the status wheel spins, the transfer bar moves and when complete his clip shows up in the original FCE window for editing. Mine does not.
the software recognizes my camera, the clips are either loaded or accessed by the software, I can play the clips in the FCE viewer to set in and out points. Video and audio there is fine, but when I add to que it all falls apart.
I've already bought two video format softwares to change the MTS files to something else but that's not the route I want - I don't want to lose all the resolution. So amyone have any ideas how to get ACVHD files into FCE??? I'm about to shoot either the camera or me to put one of us out of our misery! This can't be that complicated as the ACVHD is a hugely common format.
Any help most kindly appreciated

Have you verified that your copy of FCE has been updated to 4.0.1?

Can't import uncompressed quicktime file into FCE 3.5.1

I've imported other files of this type before and feel a little stymied.
It's an uncompressed quicktime, 507 megabytes, 720 x 486, codecs are Integer (Big Endian), Animation. When I try to import it I keep getting an error message. I've gotten the message before but could figure out the problem - for example, one movie had AAC audio and FCE wouldn't take it. Don't know what the problem is here and it's driving me nuts.
I tried converting it using quicktime pro (with the DV/DVCPRO NTSC) but FCE still ends up reconverting the file again and the resulting file looks fairly crappy as a result.
Anybody know why the file won't import? Or can someone suggest what codec to use with Quicktime Pro to convert the file so FCE what re-compress it?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi(Bonjour)!
FCE is a fixed format application. It can handles natively (without rendering)standard def DV, HDV and AVCHD.
The timeline(sequence) format can just be either standard or hight definition one. Not quicktime animation. So the non native material has to be rendered before playing the timeline. The rendered material will have the same resolution (or format) than your timeline, thus the poor quality as you display DV material (an interlaced format designed to be monitored on TV sets).(Quicktime animation format is an uncompressed format).
Converting your non-native material with QT Pro and importing into FCE is the way to go as this process allows editing in native format.
Did you monitor your timeline content on a TV monitor?

How to import transparent PS layer into FCE?

I'm going nuts here! I created a white design in Photoshop and have tried every option to export it as a a transparent file but when I import into FCE, a white background appears. I set the PS to transparent, add my design and all is well... except when I try and import into FCE. I want the layer to float on top of a clip in FCE like a title. Any thoughts?

TIFF, to no avail, and all the others as well. I create a new doc in PS > transparent > drag my layer in from another PS document and end up with a transparent background and one layer with my design on it > save it as a TIFF (or other). Then I import it into FCE and the image is there but with a white background and not transparent. On a couple of the save as settings the background comes thru black and not white. Thanks for helping with thissss.
