Powerpoint Animation Import Question

Hello All. I'm running Powerpoint 2003 and Captivate 3.
Here's my somewhat silly question. When I import a .ppt slide
with simple animation into Cap, all I get is a blank screen in Cap.
Once I hit F3 to preview the slide, I see what's supposed to be in
the animation, but it fades away once the slide is done.
How do I edit the damn thing in Cap? I've tried different
grouping, different window sizes, moving things around, but I can't
get to the text that fades in.
There's got to be a simple answer that I'm just not seeing.
Thanks
Jimmy

Hey there Jimmy
Standard problem is that what you created in Powerpoint from
many elements is pulled into Captivate as a single entity and thus
cannot be edited in Captivate. The best way is to build each slide
in Captivate from ground up, but I understand the frustration if
you have good powerpoint material and do not want to rebuild. In
this instance, my suggestion is to delete the slide in question in
Captivate, then open the ppt file and edit your animations there as
this is probably where the problem lies, remember that Captivate
does not have that "click to appear/disappear" functionality that
Powerpoint has and thus just plays all your animations in a timed
sequence. Lastly, import the "fixed" slide back into Captivate.
(Suggestion is to save that ppt slide as a file on its own before
pulling into Captivate)
cheers
Andrew

  • PowerPoint Animations Import

    Hi everyone,
    I have a PPt presentation with several slides of Bulleted
    points. In PPt each bullet is set to appear 'On Click'. This allows
    the speaker to speak to each point as it appears.
    After Importing the presentation into CP3 the bullets on the
    slide no longer appear "On Click' but appear after about one
    second, one after the other with no pause. Am I missing something?
    I have extended the time the slide displays but this does not
    appear to make any difference to the timing to the appearance of
    the bullets.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ken

    Even if you've selected "On Click" for all of them in
    PowerPoint, there is another setting during the import process.
    It's on the screen where you see the slide thumbnails. It's called
    Advance Slide and you can choose On Mouse Click or Automatically.
    Good luck!

  • Powerpoint Animations

    My Powerpoint animations (gif animations and other) di not play in Captivate. Any ideas please?

    Hi there,
    Which version of Captivate and Power point do you have and which operating system is it?
    Which format of Power point did you import? Did you check "Hi-fidelity" option during import (only in case of .PPTX and .PPSX)
    Thanks.

  • Layers in Animated Gif Question...

    Been going crazy all night
    I'm trying to create an animated gif. I made a BG image that I want the video to go on top of. The video is 136 frames (layers). I duplicated the BG image 136 times and pasted the videos 136 layers on top of the BG image.. Here is my problem.. I need to move the video frames (136 of them) onthe background so it lines up better... How do I move them all at once. Meaning if I move the frame on layer 1, the frames will move on EVERY layer. There has to be a way to move them so they all move to the same location at once. There is no way I could move each one separately and get them in the exact same location...
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Thanks in advance...
    GT

    Sorry... Using PS CS4 Extended.. Not sure what you mean by click the purple icon and then the red button.... I know it will be a bit choppy, but that is alright for this project.... I know with imageready (in the past) you could drag the image and it would move the image in every frame.... There has to be a way to move the image on layer one so that the image will move to the exact spot in each layer..... Atleast, I hope there is.. Thanks for getting back to me

    Click the purple icon and then click the red button. Click the OK box below it if you like the result.
    It would help to know what program you are using and it might help to post in that program's forum.
    Beware that you are grossly abusing the GIF format. It is not intended for video. You could experience choppy playback and/or a lousy color palette.

  • How to import questions into Captivate 4 from a delimited file

    I'm looking
    a way to import questions from a delimited text file (or excel spreadsheet)
    into captivate.
    All the questions are simple multiple choice, single answer, four selections per question.
    I have hundreds - I'd hate to have to retype them all in one at a time.
    Thanks in advance
    -Joan

    Does anyone know if this is a feature in Captivate 5. 
    Other things I would really like to see in Captivate 5.
    Importing and Exporting the graded quiz/test content out of captivate into another
    application/ form.  Such as xml, tab delimited, excel spreadsheet,
    Adobe pdf, Word document or another format.  Our current content
    developement systems allows us to (when publishing) do this.
    1> exclude questions from the Published content
         (exclude section questions, or final test content)
    2> produce different test versions from question banks
    3> Produce a PDF paper test for when we want to train in a classroom setting
    4> Select which questions we want to produce
    5> Import questions from a pre-defined format.  To note: when we do this the system also makes us define a unique interaction id so that the import will update existing questions.
    I know this will NOT work for some of the more sophisticated questions, But for the simple Mulitple choice, true/false, fill in the blank.  etc..
    THIS WOULD BE A GREAT FEATURE..
    It would also be NICE TO HAVE THE abiliy to PROFILE versions of the SAME Course WITH OUT REPRODUCING / DUPLICATING / REPEATING THE  ENTIRE COURSE PRESENTATION.
    Such as
    "INSTRUCTOR TAUGHT TRAINING"
    "WEB TRAINING"
    "PAPER TEST A"
    "PAPER TEST B"
    ETC...
    LASTLY: if we can not export the QUIZ content.  Can an excel spreadsheet LIKE INTERFACE be used to edit certain aspects of the questions.
    Such as the InteractionId which is sent to the LMS ('cmi.interactions.0.id').  My developer team says it is real difficult and time consuming
    to track down interactionIds and then maintain them in a perfect way.

  • MEGA180 Important Questions

    I have my MEGA180 on order but I already have some important questions:
    1) This unit provides dual vga outputs. If I install my own AGP 8x card, will the VGA2 output still work? I read in the manual that installing an AGP card will disable VGA1 (default) but it doesn't say anything about the 2nd VGA output connector. I require 2 outputs since I will be connecting to an LCD and my HDTV monitor (using a VGA to Component Video Transcoder)
    2) Will there be performance hits by using the two vga outputs at the same time?
    3) The on-board video card doesn't have any video memory. It will use your existing DDR memory. I will have 512Meg Dual Channel Memory. What kind of performance I can expect from the built-in video card (NVidia NForce Crush18) compared to other AGP cards on the market?
    Thanks for your help!
    Sly

    Though I can not provide you with answers specific to the Mega 180, I can give you some more info.
    1) No. As soon as you install an AGP card, the onboard video will be fully disabled from within the BIOS. This is an nForce2 chipset setting. So make sure to get an AGP card with 2xVGA (as most cards have nowadays).
    2) No or not much. Using an nForce2 MoBo myself I haven't encountered performance loss using both VGA outputs.
    3) There's no way to compare the onboard video to an AGP card. AGP cards will have a far out better perfomance then the onboard video. But compared to other onboard video solutions around, like Xtreme Graphics, the nForce solution is far better and has far better performance.
    It all depends on what you will be doing with the MegaPC. If you're a gamer, get an AGP card. If you want to use it as an HTPC, keep with the onboard nForce2 solution. There's no need for extra here since the nForce2 chipset is great. Onboard sound from this chipset is also great. Try it out before spending $ on an AGP card you don't need.
    Hope this helped a bit.

  • E-Recruiting important questions

    I'm implementing the E-Recruiting and I have two important questions for this Project:
    1 - The business want to capture mobility (willingness to relocate / travel) at the time of position application. Is there a standard field for store this information?
    2 - Recruitment would like to be informed about a critical process, in others words, the requisition doesnu2019t compete with other priorities. How can I handle this situation?
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Sivani

    Hi Sivani,
    Questionnaire answers are stored in IT5141.  They are visible to the Recruiters when viewing the Candidates and can be used in rankings.  You can also decide for which positions this questionnaire would be required and which not. 
    Do not see a standard field to create a priority when creating a Requisition.  We added many fields, such as "eligibility for employee referral", so it can be added.  However, letting managers set the priorities could be a problem with each manager thinking his/her opening is most important.

  • Server Specs for a 11.1.1.3 Install Important questions.

    I've put together some specifications for a Development Server & Production Server, any comments appreciated. I hope this post acts as a good reference sample for anybody else out there looking to implement a Hyperion Planning.
    Client Tier: (2 developers)
    Windows
    8 GB RAM
    Dual Core Processor
    Components: EAS client, Smart View, Excel Add-in
    Web Tier:

    Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ, 64 bit
    RAM: 8GB
    Hard Drive: 32 GB
    Components: Foundation: HSS, Workspace, Planning, Web Applications: EAS, Financial Reporting, Web Analysis, Planning,
    Services Tier:
    Server1:
    Windows (2003 SP1, R2)
    Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ 64 bit
    RAM: 16 GB
    Disk: 32GB

    200GB Essbase Storage
    The specifications will be similar for the production for abotu 25 - 30 users (10 concurrent), with RAM being a little bumped up.
    One important question: I might need guidance on installing 32 bit planning or FDM on the 64 bit server - any known issues with this? Also any known issues with 64 bit Essbase working with 32 bit Planning?
    Edited by: EssbaseApprentice on Sep 30, 2010 10:04 AM

    obviously its hard to comment on whether it is the perfect spec for your environment, it looks alright to me, it is not under spec.
    For the web tier as you are running reporting and analysis and the other machines are windows based personally I would stick with windows 2003.
    Is there any reason why you have one machine dedicated just to FDM, seems a bit of an overkill just for one product, it may be worth combining services server 2 with FDM, just a suggestion though

  • Important Questions to ask when developing in Workflow

    Hello All,
      I have two questions.
      I am not a Workflow developer, but I've been asked to find out information about creating a Workflow process.
    Here is what <b>I</b> need to know: What are important questions to ask the end-user when creating a workflow. What needs to be taken into consideration?
    Here is an example of the kind of thing we need to do:
    Send an email on a weekly basis to different Project Managers a Summary of Project Charges = (maybe CN41?)
    Each Project Manager will have different requirements, so  I guess one question will be: "What info do you want from this report?". What else do I need to know?
    My second question is this: I should be able to output this as an Excel, correct? How much can I customize this? I haven't done much SAP -> Excel work. Only when I go to System -> List -> Save -> Local File ->Spreadsheet.
    Thanks for the help.
    Don Fields

    Hello Don!
    WF is quite a complex topic and someone could write a book to answer your questions - actually there is already a good book available -> check: Practical Workflow for SAP
    http://www.sap-press.com/product.cfm?account=&product=H950
    Looking at your example their might not even be a need for a workflow but rather a job that runs periodically to send the required information via email to project managers.
    Workflow is mostly used if user actions are required e.g. confirm, approve, reject a request or notifications need to be sent to someone after an event or user action occured.
    Check this link for getting more information on how to download data to excel:

  • 3 important questions about SAP HANA

    Hello Community!
    I have got 3 important questions about SAP HANA.
    1.
    - Our Company has all up about 150 SAP - Systems.
    - 12 Systems are ERP-Systems.
    => We consider about SAP HANA at the moment.
    => Is it possible to put all the 12 ERP-Systems in ONE SAP HANA or do I need one seperate HANA for each ERP-System?
    => If it is possible, can you tell me the disadvantages when I use 1 HANA for the 12 ERP-Systems.
    => Is there a Storage-Limit in the HANA (I think no, because of 64 bit).
    => Can I still make realtime-analytics with 1 HANA for 12 SAP Systems?
    2.
    => Can I run ONE HANA with different non-SAP-Systems?
    3.
    => Is there a Demo-Center from SAP or IBM, where I can test and see the HANA before I buy it?
         (I do not mean the Fujitsu TDS Demo Center)
    It would be nice, when you would answer all my questions.
    Thank you.

    => We consider about SAP HANA at the moment.
    => Is it possible to put all the 12 ERP-Systems in ONE SAP HANA or do I need one seperate HANA for each ERP-System? Yes it is quite possible to put all the ERP/CRM/SCM or other components on one HANA. You need to check for pricing/users/RAM (storage)
    => If it is possible, can you tell me the disadvantages when I use 1 HANA for the 12 ERP-Systems.
    There are no disadvantages as of now.. improve existing planning, forecasting, pricing
    optimization and other processes
    => Is there a Storage-Limit in the HANA (I think no, because of 64 bit).
    There is no limit on Stotrage: You need check how much Data you need on RAM (Real time processing) Storage.Minimum you can buy is 64 GB and multiple of it for (RAM)
    => Can I still make realtime-analytics with 1 HANA for 12 SAP Systems?
    Yes certainly..
    2.
    => Can I run ONE HANA with different non-SAP-Systems?
    YEs you can run HANA for 3rd party S/W or non-sap systems for your real time anlytics.
    It has ODBC and JDBC both and you can combine it with other systems.
    3.
    => Is there a Demo-Center from SAP or IBM, where I can test and see the HANA before I buy it?
    (I do not mean the Fujitsu TDS Demo Center)
    This you need to check with your local SAP Service channel..
    It would be nice, when you would answer all my questions.

  • SUPER IMPORTANT QUESTION (really!!) Zen Mi

    <SPAN>PACKAGE CONTENTS
    Zen Micro Player</LI>
    Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery </LI>
    High Fidelity Earphones</LI>
    USB 2.0 Cable</LI>
    Creative Media Source</LI>
    Installation CD</LI>

    Limited edition Zen Micro 5GB comes bundled with these additional accessories*:
    Power Adaptor</LI>
    Belt Clip & Stand</LI>
    Pouch</LI>
    *While Stocks Last
    I Thought all ZM5GB came with the belt clip/stand/pouch...so only if u buy on line u get it's?

    A "super important question" would be something like, "is there a god?" or "what are my chances of surviving this operation?" or, maybe, "my Zen Micro is showing a message saying 'will self-destruct in fi've minutes unless technician code is entered' -- does anyone know the technician code?" (no, no one has ever asked that question).
    Yours doesn't qualify.
    The answer is that, at the moment, all 5gb Micros as far as I know come with these accessories, all 4gb and 6gb don't, but READ THE PACKAGE CONTENTS before buying to make sure.Message Edited by tganani on 04-09-2005 05:59 PM

  • A very important question for every After Effects user

    a very important question for every After Effects user, from product manager Steve Forde:
    http://adobe.ly/1exI6tI

    Tom Daigon Great idea everybody! Encourage Adobe to do ONLY ONE THING with AE for 2014. Since theres not a heck of a lot of development that can be done on the present foundation, they can really stretch the rental scheme out for many years.And once you get used to the concept, every year they will do ONE THING to placate you. So now they have you swallowing no "ownership" of software and limited development.
