Importing Windows PowerPoint Presentation

I work for a company whom only supports Windows. I have a IPad that I want to use for presntations. Do I have to have a MAC with Keynotes to import PC Powerpoint files or will the IPAD applicationa allow me to do so as a stand alone?
If not does anybody have any ideas of a solution besides going out to buy a MAC?
(though it is on the wish list)

Keynote for iPad can import PowerPoint presentations directly; no need to have Keynote on a Mac to convert. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4066
There are other apps that can also import and display PowerPoint presentations, such as Documents To Go, but if you want to use the iPad in conjunction with a projector, you'll want to confirm that the app you select can (as Keynote can) output to the VGA adapter.
Regards.

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

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]
Thanks,
Sankaram.

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.

How do I import a PowerPoint presentation that has embedded audio and animation?

I have a presentation that was created in PowerPoint and each POwerPoint slide has a embedded m4a audio file. Is there a way to import the audio with the slides or playback the PPT with the audio and do it as a screen capture where the audio is recorded straight across with out having to go out through the speakers and in through the microphone?

Hi there
You should be able to play the PPT and record it from Captivate as a Video Demo. When you record, you should also see an option for recording System Audio.
Cheers... Rick

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:

Hyperlinks dont work in captivate 6 , when created using import from powerpoint 2013

We are trying to create a captivate presentation by importing a powerpoint presentation that has hyperlinks in it. However, it seems that the hyperlinks don't work when the project is published as a swf file. When you mouse over the hyperlink, the mouse changes the cursor to a hand, but when you click it, nothing happens ? Anyone had the same problem ?

If you are testing this locally, perhaps you need to configure the Flash Player Trusted Location settings?

How can I import an i-tune into a powerpoint presentation?

I am preparing a slide show for my wife's birthday on powerpoint 3.0, and I am a beginner. I want to play a song and show 93 slides. When I try to import the song by a file name, I can get into itunes, and I can select the artist and get to the album folder, but I can rarely get the song title itself to appear, and even when it does, I get a message saying that I have not designated the proper path, and tells me to check the path.
Does anyone out there know how to break through past the artist and album name and load an itune into a powerpoint presentation through the "insert" and "movies and sounds" command features?
I can play the music through the CD player and do the slide show, but I want to put the music into the presentation so that I can put the whole thing into a CD.
Can anyone help? Thanks

You probably need to link directly to the music not going through iTunes. If the music is from iTunes store you will need to convert to mp3 first then link to the mp3 version.

IMAGES in POWERPOINT presentation can't be read by a Windows PC

I create a POWERPOINT PRESENTATION on a Mac and insert image files (jpg) from Google into the slides. The presentation works fine on the Mac.
I then go and playback this presentation on any Windows PC and it can't read the images, displaying an error message in the image frame of each such slide about some TIFF driver missing to display this image.
What do I do wrong?
PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Powerpoint 2004 for Mac

I have had this problem before, but I use the following work around.
1) Copy the graphic to clipboard with Command C (or use the Grab utility, then copy to memory)
2) Create a new document in Photoshop (it should automatically create the correct size)
- Paste
- Cut
4) Switch back to PowerPoint Mac and Paste it back in.
I do this routinely now when creating PowerPoint presentations and it works every time on PCs.

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!
