Powerpoint imported into Captivate4

I am using Captivate 4.I have created project
template(.cptl). I want the imported powerpoint slides to get
aligned with this template. But though the slides are getting
imported, the alignment with template design is not happening. Is
there any tips like in MS powerpoint, we create slide master and
instert slides to this master, and all insterted slides align with
the properties of the master slides. Can anyone suggest any
tips>

WELCOME to Captivate's all volunteer forum.
PowerPoint has size resolutions based on the page size
settings in Powerpoint. Here are the conversions that you can try
in PowerPoint. Set your page size, save the file and then try the
import again.
960 x 720 = 10" x 7.5"
640 x 480 = 6.67" x 5"
800 x 600 = 8.33" x 6.25"
You can link or embed the PowerPoint. When you import yu have
an option to make the slides advance on CLICK or based on TIME.
If you are using PowerPoint 2007 and the advanced SmartText,
then the imported quality will be terrible. I am using SmartText
and I end up exporting the PowerPoint as BMP images and then I copy
those into each slide location as needed. The import filter is just
too crude for my needs with SmartText.
Your template should not have PowerPoint links or embedding.
A template is designed as the starting point of a presentation and
you might want to embed the PowerPoint images only to get a default
background. Try to Export from PowerPoint using the Save-As option
and pick BMP, PNG, JPG, Etc. to your satisfaction. Those exported
images can then become the BACKGROUND for pages in the Template.
Hope this helps

How can I "reprompt" when a OBIEE request has been imported into powerpoint

As Silkrooster said, should be easy enough with layer styles and blending modes. To mimic the curvature you can use a simple warp style as well. You may just need multiple duplicates of the layer for ultimate control...

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

Powerpoint presentation - import into Elements

I have a video of a 60th birthday. I also put together Power Point presentation for the function. I wish to combine the video using a clip within clip concept using the Power Point slides.
Can some-one suggest what format the PowerPoint presentation be converted to, to enable it to be imported into Elements. I have tried PDF but it doesn't work.

A workaround would be to use an application that can record screen activity to record a PowerPoint slideshow as a movie to then import into your project. For example Magix Movies on DVD allows you to define and record an area of the screen to a file in resolutions up to 1920 x 1080. The examples shown below are for MPEG encoding. Magix also have their own proprietary high quality codec so if you record the screen activity to the timeline you can then export in a variety of formats (e.g. DV-AVI).

I'm trying to invoke EXCEL or POWERPOINT file into the browser IE 6.0. The

I'm running TOMCAT locally on my PC (running Windows NT).
I'm trying to invoke EXCEL or POWERPOINT file into the browser IE 6.0.
The output is coming out all scrambled (almost like ASCII code or something),
where it seems like the applications are not firing up.
However, an MSWord file shows up fine. So I go to the WEB.XML file in the TOMCAT\CONF
folder and notice that a MIME type has been set up for MSWord and not the other two.
I set one up for EXCEL and POWERPOINT but the XLS or PPT files still don't work.
So, just for kicks, I comment out the MSWord MIME definition but the MSWord file still worked!!!
I can't figure out what's going on here.
I'm stopping and starting the TOMCAT service each time I make changes to the WEB.XML file,
but it seems like none of the changes are taking affect.
I install all the viewers for MS-Word, ppt, and excell.
But in Netscape it works fine.

To support various file formats in IE browser while using window.open like .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .xls, xlsx etc.,
The following code can also be used to force any format to get launch outside IE
For these first configure a filter in web.xml and then include the filter class in given path

</filter>
<filter-mapping>

Horrific PowerPoint Import

Anyone know why PowerPoint files import into Captivate with low resolution images? The PowerPoint file has high res images, but in Captivate, looks horrfic.

What's probably happening here is that the size of the Captivate stage is very different from the PPT sizing, and that's causing some loss of resolution when it scales.
If you have Captivate 6, try using the new High Fidelity import setting.
If on an older version of Cp, see if you can modify the setup of the PPT file so that it matches the Captivate slide. Perhaps that will help. However, (and I know this is NOT what you're going to want to hear) for the ultimate solution that would keep your images at highest resolution, you'd probabl need to build the presentation in Captivate from the start using the same assets.

When I copy and paste a powerpoint slide into Captivate the slide is blurry how do I fix that

Have you tried importing it with standard workflow instead of coyping and pasting.
Is the resolution of your powerpoint presentation and Captivate Project same, make sure it is same, else, it would rescale it to fit on the sldie, rescaling might detoriate the quality.

PowerPoint Slides into Captivate Responsive Project

Autoscale small (powerpoint-imported) presentation to a larger screen?

I wished to demo KN to some PC colleagues at work, and just imported a very trivial powerpoint file into Keynote.
I can see everything comes OK but whenever I ask Keynote to just run the show, it presents it in a very small rectangle on my large 17' screen. (the surrounding zone is black)
Needless to say, when I use powerpoint the same presentation auto-scales niftily to use all screen surface available
I didn't dare show this to anyone, because I can already hear the laughs: How can I get the same "auto-scaling" effect that they have on powerpoint?
(also: is the issue due to the powerpoint import, or is it general to Keynote?)
TIA!

Thanks Tulse for such a quick answer -I'm a bit ashamed now

PowerPoint importing and editing

I'm fairly new to captivate with very little training. What I know, which is very basic, I have figured out by trial and error. The agency I work for just upgraded to Captivate 8. I would like to know more about developing in PowerPoint, importing the PowerPoint to captivate and then editing the material. I have figured out how to import individual PowerPoint slides, but not a complete course. Do you have any suggestions on where I could find this information? Another question I have is, how do you account for this size difference when developing something in PowerPoint and importing it to an 800 X 600 captivate? As an agency, we set a standard to us an 800 X 600 captivate size.

Importing PPT-slides is not a good idea, if you want to edit the slides, because each PPT-slide will be converted into sort of a movie slide. The different objects will not be editable. If you want a PPT plug-in there are other and better solutions. Captivate is a real eLearning tool. Use the assets and create the CP-file from scratch if you want to edit. And it is not even possible to use PPT-slides for responsive projects in Captivate.
To create a CP-file from a PPT, use File, New Project, Project from MS Powerpoint. The CP-file will choose a resolution that is the same as the PPT-file. One of the crazy ideas of PPT is that slide size is in print units (in or cm) instead of the more logical screen units (px).

Powerpoint Import on Mac is Unusable?

Well, I almost don't know where to begin.
I'm running CP5 on a mac. Was excited to see a mac version, and wrote to Pooja (CP5 beta test manager) to ask about issues/gotchas running on a mac. He led me to believe it was a feature complete release. I'm seeing other folks having PPT import issues on Windows, but can it be this bad on the other platform? What I'm seeing is completely unusable.
I created a 3 slide PPTX using Powerpoint for Mac 2011. CP5 imported and linked without complaint - I could even see the slide thumbnails in the File Open dialog - but the slides came in without any content. I only saw the background for my master slide with a clickbox on top and there was no Powerpoint content. So I saved the file in PPT format, re-imported and same result. So then I opened VMWare and launched Powerpoint 2010 on Windows 7. Created a PPTX there, re-imported and same result, so I saved again in PPT format, repeated the import yet again, and still the same result. I am simply getting no content whatsoever in CP5 for Mac from Powerpoint!
This leads me to believe that I must be doing something wrong, because I don't think Adobe would claim that the feature worked if it didn't.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
FYI, I don't mind building most of the course in CP, but I sure would like to be able to get some Powerpoint tables into CP even as a flattened image.
Thanks,
Kevin

Your issues with roundtripping PPT may be due to the PPT 2011 file format.
Have you tried saving to an earlier version of PPT such as 2007 and then importing that?
I'm on a PC not a MAC, but Cp5 isn't claiming support for PPT 2010 yet as far as I know, so maybe PPT 2011 would be in a similar position.

Photos imported into wrong folder

When running an import and setting destination to import into subfolder organised by date (2011/2011-04-29) the ophotos taken late in the day do not go into the correct folder, they import into the next days folder. It appears the calculation used for the import does not take into acct regional settings.
Using lightroom 3.4 (also seen with 3.2 and 3.3)
Any ideas other than manually sorting all photos?
I notice that the Canon import software correctly sorts the photos, just have to use that then synchronise in lightroom, not good but at least till adobe fix the bug it will have to do.

Can you find out exactly how many hours difference there is ?
Do you have some AM/PM problem?
Are you shure your computer is in the right time-zone?
Daylight savings corrected ?
