Powerpoint Animations flicker/appear at start in CP6

I have a pptx file with animations. Simple ones where the text should "fly in". I am using PPT 2007. I am on a windows vista with sp2 machine. Runnin cp6 version 6.0.1.240.
When the captivate slide play, there is a quick flicker of the text caption in its final locatio and then it goes away and flies in. This is toally unacctpable.
Does anyone know what is causin this or how to work around it?
I get this behavior when I import using high fidelity. If I do not use hifi, then my text is all misasligned and other animiations don't work right, so I have to use hifi.
Please help!
Thanks,
  Lori

FYI - this does not happen in CP5.5.  But, the text is all wonky like if I don't use hifi in cp6.  Just some additional info.
ADOBE - I can send you files if needed!  We really need this fixed.
Is there a current bug report on this? What's the status?
THanks

  • Powerpoint Animations Flicker Between Slide Transitions

    Version
    Captivate 6.0.1.240
    Output type
    Flash SWF, and MP4
    I have a powerpoint (2010) I imported into Captivate.  The slides do contain animations, mostly fade in, and fly in.  No exit animimations, all are enterance.  Captivate is using the animation times set in PowerPoint as I expect, and that works well for me.  I did add narration audio using Captivate for each slide.  After I have everything set, I produce the project as MP4 successfully.
    However, then I view the video when the slides transition to a slide that has animations, there is a quick flicker that shows the animations for the slide even though they are not really seen until sometime into the slide.  This effect is very distracting and takes away from the impact of the slides having seen a flicker of the exposed animations.  It almost seems it is adding a video frame of the final slide.
    I have tryed the following:
    -Reapplied the patch
    -Added fade slide transistion in Captivate (This only makes the flicker last longer)
    -Tried the different produce settings
    -Tryed produce to Flash, but same effect.
    I am looking for a solution to this, or a workaround I should be concidering.  My final option is to pull the MP4 into Premier to remove the frames, which is not why I bought Captivate.

    I am seeing the same thing. I just recently updated to ver 6. This is very much not good.
    Also, by buttons keep resizing themselves to little tiny boxes if I change any properties.
    Please fix these fast!

  • Why won't my adobe edge animations play from the start each time they are loaded on an Adobe DPS layout?

    Hi there
    I have an adobe DPS document with several pages, and edge animations on each page. I want each animation to play from the start when each page is opened, however, the playback seems to be very inconsistent. Some animations play from the start, others half way through, and some playback incorrectly. I want to also be able to return to each page and have the animations reload, instead of just displaying the final frame of the animation.
    I have played around with the delay time which doesnt seem to fix it.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Dan

    Hi, Im DPS projects medias like video, audio, animation html5 dosen´t reload inside the same article, just between the articles. Better produce articles just one page and change pages with horizontal swipe Regards

  • 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.

  • Applications Window appears when start up

    Last week I had a problem with my printer not being on line, after some unguided troubleshooting, I got the printer back on line. Don't ask what I did, I don't know for sure.
    But, now when I boot up OS 10.4.7, the Applications Window appears with the desktop in the background. I have been unable to find a way to keep the window from appearing on start up.
    Any help?

    You might have inadvertently set the printer to open every time you log in or restart.
    Go to "System Preferences", then click on "Accounts", then click on the "Log In Items" tab. Look to see if your printer is listed there. If it is, just highlight it and then click the minus button to remove it. Items listed there will open every time you start up or log in.

    You could try my script ConvertFormat and see if you like the results. Would be easier than inserting the CDs and correcting the tag info again. Just be aware this is a one-way trip. Once you've thrown away some quality to shrink the files you can't get it back without going back to the source. You may better off investing in a bigger drive.
    If you just want to squeeze more on the iPod you can use the built-in iTunes option to convert files to a lower bitrate as they are added to the device.

  • CP6 Powerpoint animations NOT workin in HTML5

    I have imported my powerpoint in to cp6.  I have embedded animations in the ppt file. WHen I publish to PDF or flash, the animations play nicely. When I publish to HTML5, they don't play at all. If I import without hi fidelity, then the screens are blank of the animated material. If I import WITH hifidelity, then all of the object are present at the beginnin of the slide instead of fading in/out as set on the ppt timeline. 
    Help!
    Client is NOT going to be happy
    Lori

    Hi Lori,
    Can you check if the Preview in HTML5 Borwser option works correctly as expected or not?
    Also, double check if the Powerpoint presentation is in sync (green) in library.
    Can you check with a sample ppt as well with hi-fidelity and Slide duration -- checked and add few animations.
    Thanks,
    Anjaneai

  • PowerPoint Animations Appear for Split Second

    I have a Captivate project that was created by importing a PowerPoint presentation which contains several animations.  I imported the presentation using the high fidelity option because the PPTX file contains SmartArt objects that are animated.  Everything is working fine with the exception that when I view the published project in the browser, for a split second the newly loaded page flashes all the objects on the slide.  The objects then dissappear and the slide continues to build the animations as expected and timed perfectly with the audio.  The course does contain audio on each slide and is 26 slides in length.
    Is there a trick to preventing these images/objects from flashing at the beginning of each slide?
    I'm using the following software and configuration:
    Captivate 6 with the latest updates.
    PowerPoint 2007
    Internet Explorer 8
    Windows XP SP3
    Flash Player 10 ActiveX 10.1.85.3
    Shockwave Player 11.5 (11.5.7.609)
    I hope that I have provided enough information and details for this question.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated! 
    Thank you,
    Jay

    In regards to your computer running slow, delteing files off the hard drive will not make much difference unless you are very low on disk space (5 GB avaible on disk or less).
    Consider runing Disk Utility to make sure everything is clean on your HD.

    Also you may want to consider adding more RAM.
    All else fails you could consider erasing the drive and starting from scratch (backup important data first of course).
    I do this once a year on my machine just because I like getting rid of extra junk floating around that I don't know about.
    Hope that helps.

  • I have had a new mac pro. and i installed office mac 2011. however, whenever i try to start word, excel or powerpoint, it always appears 'what's new in Word: Mac 2011. what should i do?

    i am using the Microsoft Word:Mac 2011. however, whenever i open the folder, it appeared "what's new in Microsoft Word: Mac 2011 and stay there forever. i can not do anything else. what should I do to create a new document or open an old ones?
    thank you

    Do you not have a Continue button at the lower right of that screen? Click it and the box will flip over. Click Cancel and shut down Word. Launch it again to get the same screen of document choices. You now have an check box at the bottom for "Don't show this when opening Word". Check the box if you prefer not to see this project manager, then click Cancel. The document manager will go away and you'll be presented with a blank document. This is way it will now always start.

  • Timing PowerPoint Animations

    I've just imported a PowerPoint presentation into Captivate
    3. Most of the 25 slides have bullet-point advances and other
    animations built in to them. The live presenter advances the
    animations manually, as she talks to the slides. I've got her voice
    recorded, and want to trigger the animations in time with the
    audio. Does Cap 3 allow me to do this? It doesn't seem so.
    thanks!

    Hi guys! My apologies for not responding - when I first
    posted, I forgot to "Subscribe" to this topic, so I wasn't getting
    any notification of your posts. With that out of the way, I DID
    misunderstand the original question. So to avoid having too much
    egg on my face, I started experimenting to see if I could actually
    accomplish this ... and yes, it can be done.
    The question is actually "How do we pause and restart an
    animation object?" (to sync it with the audio on that slide). The
    answer is in duplicating the click-box on that slide. Let's see if
    I can put it into steps for you:
    ================================================
    With the audio inserted, and the PPT animation object on the
    slide ...
    1) Click the slide preview button (below and to the left of
    the timeline)
    or ...
    1a) Grab the slide Playhead (the red bar) and "scrub" the
    timeline
    1b) If it's not visible, click the top of the time-line on
    the "seconds" bar
    2) Watch/Listen for the point you need to insert a stop, and
    "Pause" there
    3) Insert a new click-box at that point on the time-line
    (and stop the 1st one here)
    4) Continue from that point, once again pausing when
    required by audio
    4a) or watch the bullets as they appear and sync to that if
    you wish
    5) Again, insert another new click-box at that point
    (stopping the prior one at the same time-line point)
    ================================================
    Continue as required. There is some work involved, but if you
    play with this a little, you'll find that it can be done easily and
    accurately. The trick is as simple as stopping playback with
    multiple click-boxes at the points you want to pause. When done,
    you will as many click-boxes as you have bullets or other
    transitions on the slide; just be sure none of the click-boxes
    overlap.
    This is an answer to a different problem than I originally
    thought, but I hope it it helpful. Again, I apologize for not
    "subscribing" to the topic after my original reply. Usually I do
    that with every post, but "stuff happens".
    Ciao ~

  • Animated gifs appear to have image bleedthrough in Internet Explorer 9

    I have been using Photoshop on a Mac for several years to make animated gif files for our company website and for our customers as well and have never had a problem until recently. On some Windows computers, these files are now appearing with ghost images bleeding through from one frame to another. I have made sure that all layers that are not needed in a particular frame are turned off and I have tried various ways of saving the gif out of Photoshop but have had no luck. I did discover if I turned the option for transparency off in the Save for Web and Devices box the image bleed issue would go away, but then white lines appeared in my gifs instead. After doing some research it appears the image bleed problem is happening in the Internet Explorer 9 browser, but does not happen in any other browser I have tested - Safari, Firefox on Mac and Firefox on Windows. Has anyone run across this issue and found any way to resolve it? It's hard to explain to my customers that their files are fine when what they see on their screens is not. Thanks!

    Joel,
    You are doing nothing wrong and it is not a Photoshop issue, but a Microsoft one from what I understand after researching this earlier this year. If you were to check you would NOT have this problem in Firefox on a Windows computer, only IE. I believe it started with version 8, but can't swear to that, but I know for sure it was in IE 9. At any rate the way to "fix" it is to change the Compatibility View Mode in IE. Depending on how this view is set you may see any number of issues including the lines that you descrbe. I've included a screen shot showing where to change this. (The small icon next to the address bar.) On my computer when the icon is blue it displays incorrectly, when it is gray things look as they should. Or you can use Firefox and avoid the problem all together. We even had issues where it made our web content reflow around the graphics incorrectly if we didn't have this set correctly. What's bad about it is that it's hard to explain to your customer why their stuff looks wrong and Microsoft has known about this issue for quite a while and hasn't fixed it.
    Glad you posted on here so I could post back a fix. I usually do when I find a solution, but it took us several months to come up with what was happening and I'd forgotten to post back.

  • Why do some elements of a Powerpoint presentation not appear on screen?

    While running through a Powerpoint Presentation, some slides didn't show all elements? is this an issue with how the PPT is built prior to upload? are there specific products that can be installed that would allow for the appearance of all elements in any type of PPT presentation?
    I installed the latest add-in and it didn't help. suggestions?

    When you up load your PPT file to Connect it converts it into a Flash version of the presentation, so it can be displayed in the room. While it will keep many elements of PPT, some items just don't translate from PPT to Flash. Some of the more common things that I see that don't translate are: slide transistions, some empahsis animations and images that are not JPG or GIF.
    The easiest soltuion, if you don't want to change things in your PPT, is to just share your screen and show the PPT in slide show mode (F5).
