Importing .ppt or .avi

I'm trying to import the above mentioned file types into my
Captivate software, and it's not doing much of anything...I select
the file, click "Next" and for a split second a screen pops up that
I assume is a status screen, and then it goes away (it's not
hidden). The screen just sits there waiting for me to hit Next,
Canel or Help. I've tried all kinds of "stupid user tricks"
like pressing and holding "Next", etc., and the best
I can get is a glimpse of the picture of a pie that has 1 or two
pieces filled in, and then the same thing as above. Has anyone else
run into this problem, and have any suggestions what the problem
may be and/or what I can do to fix it. I understand that the
problem with the .avi files could be with codecs, but it's doing
the EXACT same thing with .ppt files, so I'm not sure it's really a
codecs thing...Thanks!

Hi abhunter and welcome to our community
Sorry for the delayed reply.
I'm wondering if you are simply seeing a "rights issue". We
frequently see this when trying to import PowerPoint. Can't say as
I've ever heard of an issue bringing in .AVI and whatnot. I do know
.AVI is dependent on proper CODECs, so I suppose that issue could
be at play too.
Perhaps the following link will help.

Captivate 5.5 Is it possible to import PPT slides in Notes Page view?

Hello experts,
This may seem like an odd question. I'd like to display all the notes in the page of a PowerPoint deck that provides samples of code and explaintions of what the code is doing. It is too much information for the slide, which just has discussion point bullets, and I think it is too much for the closed caption pane. It this possible to import PPT slides in Notes Page view?
Thank you so much in advance for any hints, tips, and replies.
Kindest regards,
P

I found an alternative but circuitous way of achieving the desired result. In PowerPoint I opened, then I printed the PPT presentationto a PDF selecting the Notes Page option instead of Full Slide. By then using a PDF converter to convert it back to PPT I was able to insert the PPT as is. In other words it "looks" just like the PPT Notes Page view, which is exactly what I wanted. The code snippet and notes were intact.

Can't import ppt in Captivate 7

I have just installed Captivate 7 (v. 7.0.1.237) on my laptop with Vista 64-bit os. When I try to import ppt slides, the option is greyed out. How can I fix this?

Import > PPT slides will be available if you are inserting PPT slides to an existing Captivate project. If you are creating a new one, you should select File > New Project > Project from MS PowerPoint.

Can't import .mp4 or .avi files

I am unable to import .mp4 or .avi files into iMovie. I have iMovie3.0.3. I am able to import .mov files, but not the two listed above. Is this because i have an older version of iMovie or is it just not possible. I am new to using iMovie, but do understand something. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I am sure I didn't get iMovie 4, my powerbook is over 2 years old.

I figured it was just because I have an older version. I've known that I can convert the files in QT Pro, I just do not own it.
I'm probably going to end up getting iLive 05.
Thanks for your help.

Bug when importing Ppt slides with animation: color changes to foam green

Hi everyone,
I am using Captivate 7 and I am experiencing what seems like a bug when I try to import Powerpoint slides that have animation effects and then publish the video as HTML5.
I am using Ppt 2007 and importing the slides as .pptx files using the Import> Ppt slides command in Captivate.
An example of Ppt slide that I need to import is this: in the slide, there are two groups, created by grouping together several objects (lines, shapes etc). One group has a fade effect applied on it, while the other group has a diagonal down right movement applied to it.
When I import the slide in Captivate, the following happens:
If I do not select the High fidelity check box, then the Ppt slide is imported as static, and no effect is shown in the HTML5 video, although the effect is shown in the Captivate preview.
If I select the High fidelity check box, then the Ppt slide is imported with the effect, and with the original Ppt colors, but as soon as I press F3 to play the slide, or F4 to play the whole project, or I publish the video in HTML5 output, all the original colors change to foam green for the fill in and black for the shape outlines. Furthermore, the text boxes are displayed with their box frame displayed:
ORIGINAL PPT IMAGE:
RESULT AFTER CAPTIVATE IMPORT:
I have read in the forum several posts on this issue, eg colors being changed to foam green even with static Ppt slides, and I tried to apply the suggestions, but none seems to work.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi there
As Hyperlinks don't survive the import process, perhaps try removing the links and just applying the desired color in PPT before importing into Captivate?

Imported high quality AVI looks bad in PE

Hi all. I recorded a video of a computer screen using CAMSTUDIO at 200FPS (which looks great). After importing the video (avi) into Premier Elements the video is choppy & worthless. How can I change the settings on this video, so that it looks as good or close to the original?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a similar issue with AVI files. I have Sony Digital 8 Camcorder and through a different program I downloaded the tapes and made them into AVI files.
I was trying to make a movie with premiere 7 using these AVI files. The quality was poor. There is no smooth motion of the movies, it was kind of moving frame by frame and also at the end of the movie faces and surrounding colors was weird (as if they are negative etc..)
I chose the out put video quality to be high and format to be NTSC. I have a 3gig ram, Windows vista laptop.
Am I missing something in movie making setting. Can someone help
Thx...

Importing PPT to Flash

Hi,
I want to import a PPT file into Flash, can anybody suggest
me a way to do it. My requirement is to integrate Voice Over in PPT
and convert it to video.
As PPT does not provide good support to synch VO with
animations, I am thinking to import PPT into flash, synch VO and
then export it into video. Comments and suggestions are welcome...
Cheers :)

Captivate imported PPT Accesibility problem

I have a Captivate file with an Imported PowerPoint which is reading all the ppt text in my screen reader when published, in the wrong order. I do not want the screen reader to read anything imported from PowerPoint, only what I write in the captivate accessible text. How do I stop it from reading the imported ppt text, but still read the accessible text that I have placed within captivate?

If you REALLY want more control over the screen reading order of your slides, I would suggest you are better off NOT using PPT to create them. Build them from scratch in Captivate using native Cp objects. Then you can manipulate the layering of all objects and set the tab order for interactive objects.

PSE 7.0 - importing videos as .avi and having sound problems

I am doing a slideshow with mainly pictures and want to include a few videos in my slideshow as well. I have imported the .avi videos and they are inserted after the pictures. The pictures are set to a song and then the song has stopped and I have the slide show set to NOT continue to play the song till the end. The problem is the videos have no sound. When I open them in windows media player though they are fine. Any suggestions?

Export the AVI as WMV in window movie maker and import the WMV in slide show then export as wmv. Lots of codec are using in different format it could be an issue of audio codec using in AVI file.

Pro cs3 not importing audio in avi files

ok it seems for some reason that my cs 3 is not importing audio in my avi files the video channel imports but no audio anyone know a reason why this is please

AVI is but a "wrapper." This ARTICLE will give you much more background, plus direct you on finding out what is inside that wrapper.
It might be as simple as a setting change, but conversion will likely be the path to take.
Good luck, and let us know what G-Spot (in the article) tells you about that/those file(s).

LR4 doesn't import video files .avi and cannot playback

Hello,
I have a big issue with my brand new Lightroom 4.
I've been working on my updated catalog (from LR3) very well, since I tried to import fotos and videos from my second camera (olympus E-PL1).
This "old" catalog contains RAW files (NEF and ORF), Jpeg and Video files (.avi).
In LR3 I had no problems in importing video file and in playing the back with the external player.
Now in LR4 is a real disaster!
I cannot even import .avi files properly.
LR is importing fotos but is giving a failure message on most of the video (avi) file.
Sometimes it imports just few videos and sometimes none of them.
I've tried to import them in differnt way: from camera directly, from a card reader, from an external drive and even from the c: hard drive. i've tried to move, and to add them in catalog. NO WAY!
I've also tried to clean the video cache: no changes. To disable GL accelerator: no results. I have no further idea.
I can play these video files in all applications, from WMP to Quicktime. I have also Vlan installed.
Furthermore, while trying to import or playback videos. LR4 is slowing up in a very strange way. And sometime is crashing the last imported session (files not foud)
I've tried to reinstall it, but I didn't see any different result.
I've searched everywhere in the web for a possible solution, but I didn't find anything.
Avi file I'm talking about are coming from a olympus camera E-PL1, they are in 720p.
Please help me, beacuse I am very disappointed wih thios new video feature.
Thank you in advance!
Marco

Yes, I did and I got a strange outcome.
I checked Quicktime, and I reinstalled it.
I restarted the PC.
When LR4 opens, the processes
dynamiclinkmanager.exe
dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe
Adobe QT32 Server.exe.
are not working.
After I opened the import dialog these services started.
For the first time after restarting the PC; I could import a small video and I could playback it without problems.
The second try of importing more videos (4 small ones), went well, but at the playback moment, everything freezed again.
I tried to restart lightroom and to kill the processes listed above, but I had no luck.
Only restarting the PC I could (and not always) importing the videos. The playback did work just few times.
If the first task, after restarting the PC and Lightroom is importing (without waiting the previews of the importing box) generally there is no problem.
If I work with my catalog, which contains videos as well, then the importing dialog (for videos) is not working.
The playback feature seems to be a matter of luck, 90% ot times is not working well.
I run a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
A similar problem was reported as a bug in this post, and if so I wonder why there are not many other users reporting the same problems.

I really hope I can solve it, without waiting for a bug fix.
Thank you

Why can't I import my full AVI file?

So I'm trying to import files from Camtasia into Premiere Pro.
So I have a 14 minute long clip I want to import into Premiere Pro. The video codec is TechSmith Screen Capture Codec. File type is AVI
Basically I import the file into premiere pro and the clip is only 23:25 that is 23 seconds long. I really have no idea why this is because if I open the file in windows media player it recognizews the full 14 minutes. Even within Premiere pro when I look for info on the original file it says it is 14 minutes so why can I only work with 23:25?
I have exported the same file twice out of Camtasia to test a bad export and the same result. It's weird since I have done this before in Camtasia and been fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
