Importing ppt presentation

Hi there,
I would like to import a ppt presentation into a FCP project.
First, I tried to make a movie directly from the Power point application (this option is offered in the application). I got a .mov file that I cannot import into my project.
Then I tried to open the .mov into mpeg streamclip and save it as a QT movie. Works OK but I loose many of the transitions of the presentation or get unrelated transitions...for example, three images arriving from three different positions would show on the top of each other at once.
I checked on the original .mov from the ppt file prior to transforming it into QT, and it seems that most transitions are lost at the very first step of making the movie from the ppt file, although I checked that the option box was checked for mainting tricks and transitions.
Could anybody help me there ?
I know it is not quite a FCP question but may be someone else on this community experienced similar problems....
Thanks a lot in advance
Ivan

The best way to do this is to recreate the screens in photoshop.  I know this isn't practical in many cases.  Better to export the individual screens from within powerpoint.  If I remember correctly, you can export all the screens as a batch.  You may need to fool with your screen resolution before you do the export from within powerpoint as sometimes powerpoint scales to match the screen resolution.  You'll have to recreate the timing and transitioins between screens.

  • Is it possible to "convert" a PPT/Presenter file to Captivate and retain the audio, video, etc.?

    Hi - I'm wondering if someone has done this or can recommend the best way to do this.
    We have a PPT/Presenter file that was created using PPT 2010 and Presenter 9. We recorded audio for the training right in Presenter and have also imported videos into the file using Presenter.
    We need to output the file to DVD to actually play on a DVD player. We know we can do that with Captivate (we are using Captivate 5) and are wondering if there is a way to take our file (the package so to speak) and get that to open in Captivate and retain all of the pieces that we have added to it (audio, video, hyperlinks).
    Or, alternatively, if there is a way to publish our Presenter file to DVD format, that would work for us too.
    Thank you for any information or suggestions!
    Emily

    Hi Emily,
    Presenter contents and captivate contents are different. but you can achieve it using the following steps in presenter.
    1. Open you presentation.
    2. GO to Adobe Presenter>>Publish .Publish dialog will open.
    3. Check the CD package checkbox and publish the content.
    4. Now Goto the publish folder and burn the content on DVD.
    After successfull Burn, You can play on DVD player.
    I hope this will work  for you. Kindly let me know if you are facing any problem.
    Thanks,

  • Import PowerPoint presentation with audio

    Hello,
    I received a PowerPoint presentation with audio which I'm trying to import into Captivate. I can import the presentation just fine but the audio is not included.
    Did I miss something?
    Kind regards,

    Hi there,
    Thank you for reaching Adobe Community.
    Which version of Captivate you are using?
    Is the powerpoint presentation a .ppt or .pptx?
    Thanks!

  • Problems importing PPT videos into iMovie

    Hello -
    I consider myself a pretty computer literate person, but I'm afraid I'm stumped with my current problem.
    I need to import a Power Point Presentation into iMovie so I can record video of myself speaking over the presentation. I found many bits of helpful advice about how to do this. Apparently, the steps should be as follows:
    1) Time out your PPT presentation as needed.
    2) Save the PPT presentation as a movie (MOV) file.
    3) Convert the file into a format iMovie can read with a converter like MPEG Streamclip or MacX Free iMovie Video Converter.
    4) Import the new file into iMovie.
    All sounds good, but I have a problem with step 3. After the file has been converted, the resulting video cuts off the first slide and the time it should have taken. This happens with both the converters (listed above) I tried. So, I thought I would just add some time to the PPT presentation and it would be ok, but the same things happens even when I add a minute at the beginning of the video.
    I checked the original PPT video file and it looks to be the correct lenght, but the converted versions cut off the beginning of the video.
    This is quite odd and I'm stumped. Any ideas would be very welcome.
    Thanks!

    You can't add content to Apple TV. You will have to use airplay (from a compatible site) or mirror (using a compatible device)

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to connect the iPad to an Infocus and a remote for ppt presentations at the same time?

    I've always used PC and I'm planning on making the transition to Mac.  That's why I'm considering buying an iPad. Today I went to Best Buys and the Mac guy told me that it isn't possible to connect the iPad to an Infocus and a remote for ppt presentations at the same time. Is that true?  I'm a speaker and that was the main reason I was considering buying an iPad, so I didn't have to carry my laptop. Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for your reply. Looks like it can as I have just found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKp02y4JXVs

  • How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ?

    How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ? Upper part with the image , lower part with a free space in order to take notes for students during presentation or course.
    Thanks.

    You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
    Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
    Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
    Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
    After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
    Default: PDF/A 1-b
    Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
    Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
    Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
    Check the following check boxes
    View Adobe PDf Results,
    Add Document Information,
    Rely on system fonts only,
    Delete Log files for successful jobs.
    Select OK
    A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
    I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
    Hope this will help.

  • Blue and red are reversed on external monitor in ppt presentation mode only

    Hi all,
    I have a mid-2012 macbook pro and I'm running OS X 10.9.5  Sorry but the problem's a bit complicated so the description is a bit long.
    After I upgraded to maverick I started having a problem at work. I am a university professor who uses my laptop to project ppt lectures onto an external monitor.  I have never had a problem with it.  I am not sure that the problem is related to maverick but it was around that time that it began to occur.
    The problem is when I project my display onto the screen before I switch into the presentation mode all the colors on the external monitor are fine, when I switch to the presentation mode on ppt (14.4.5) reds are blues and blues are reds (for most but not all, weird enough) on the external monitor, and blue strawberries are really unappealing.  It is not limited to one projector on campus, I've bothered our IT guys to death about it and they've checked the monitors (not the monitors) and they worked trying to fix my problem but they are flummoxed, I've called microsoft about it and stumped them (they refunded my service fee because they couldn't solve the problem).  My IT guys did find one work around where I changed the settings for displays in ppt from presenter view to mirror show and that worked but it created other problems in that I couldn't advance my slides easily (for each and every slide advance, I had to "pretend" to "end show" after I'd advanced and then it would advance...) so that's not a viable option either. I opened the ppt presentation in keynote and still get the same color reversal happening.  This leads me to think that it may be a maverick problem?  But I don't know.  Now my semester is gearing up and I'd love for the lovely Apple community experts to chime in and give ideas on how to solve this conundrum! I'd be so very grateful!

    Either an update to 10.7.4 or a restart with the computer closed the entire time seems to have solved the problem. Not sure which.

  • When importing keynote presentations from ituns to ipad, do they occupy double the space on the ipad?

    When I import presentations from mac to ipad I put them first on ipad thorough itunes when the ipad is connected, then from the keynote app I import the presentations. After can I delete the presentations from itunes? and if i don't will they occupy double the space on my ipad?

    Keynote files are not contained in iTunes
    iTunes is used as an import application for iOS devices
    When transferring files from Mac to iOS devices iTunes, does not hold files, only a link to the file on the Mac

  • Pop-ups (custom animations) work in PPT presentation, but don't in published presenter PDF

    Pop-ups (custom animations) work in PPT presentation, but don't in published presenter PDF. I created a file in PowerPoint 2003 that allows the user to click on words in a graphic and have definitions of the word pop-up. This only works in the PPT presentation, it does not work when I publish the file to PDF using Adobe Presenter, version 7.0.5, build 7588. Any suggestions?

    MKO,
    That's not entirely surprising.  Unfortunately, what you're doing cannot be replicated or executed properly in Presenter content, because trigger functions are essentially Active X controls native to the PowerPoint environment.  And that's the problem: Active X commands are totally ignored when your deck is converted during the publishing process.
    So what to do?
    You have 2 options, and neither are "clean" solutions because each represents a bit of homework.
    Scenario 1: what you could do is create a series of hidden slides that are associated with / correspond to each of the text elements you have on the first slide.  You'd have to assign hyperlinks to the text boxes and then point the hyperlinks to the associated hidden slide.  The upside here is that if you have to edit any content after-the-fact, is that you can conduct such edits directly in PowerPoint.  But there is a drawback too; namely, that if you have to keep track of slide views, hidden slides are not tracked at all by LMSs (including Adobe Connect), so you'd have to come up w/ a formula for counting the number of visible slides so your presentation will mark a "complete" on the LMS.
    Scenario 2: create a Flash interaction that effectively does the exact same thing.  The drawback to this I hope is obvious: if you have any content edits, then you're forced to edit the file directly in Flash.  The good news here, however, is that this solution only requires one slide, so you can effectively keep track of slide views if that's something you need if the course is deployed on an LMS.
    Again, perhaps not ideal, but the above does represent alternative solutions to what you attempted to do in your sample deck.

  • 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 you do keynote or PPT presentations via wifi and AppleTV?

    Can you do keynote or PPT presentations via wifi and AppleTV?

    Not from your mac/PC, but keynote presentations from an iPad 2 with AirPlay are quite simply brilliant. Not only do you have full control of the keynote in your hands, but besides seeing the slides that everyone else is seeing, right in front of you as you look at your audience, you have your notes too.
