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.
Thanks,

Error importing a power point slide into Captivate 4 project

I am trying to add a Power Point slide to an existing project. I am using Power Point 2007 and Captivate 4. When I try to insert a Power Point slide, I get the following message:
Error Message: Unable to load nsImportPPT.dll(999)
Can anyone help with this issue. Thanks!

Hi,
nsImportPPT.dll is an "Adobe Captivate 4" dll and should be present in the "Adobe Captivate 4" installation directory (which is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4" by default). Please check if this file exists there.
I think 999 error comes when the DLL is not found. Try Re-Installing your Adobe Captivate 4.

Hi leastoners,
If you're trying to insert a file into a Word document, your best bet is to check the Word online Help. (What you describe sounds like a function of Word, not of Acrobat). I did a quick search and came up with this: Add a PDF to a document - Word. But I'm not sure that's what you're looking for.
If I misunderstood your request, please let me know and we can take it from there.

Captivate 8 crashes when pasting a text caption or slides in a responsive project. Solutions?

This version of Captivate has been fairly reliable, at least compared to versions 1-4 that I have worked with previously, however, five minutes into my first responsive project, I am getting fatal errors when I try to paste any text caption between slides. I also get fatal errors when trying to paste slides between responsive projects.
Has anyone experienced this, and more importantly, does anyone have a solution?
I am running Windows 8 SP1, Intel I7

For posterity, seems like there are issues with certain custom captions and responsive projects. After reinstall, clearing every cache I am aware of, and running the clean preferences .bat, my custom captions no longer appear in the properties window, and I am able to copy stock captions between slides.
Not sure if the reinstall was necessary or not. Here are the folders that appeared to cache data and the location of the .bat
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 8 x64\utils\CleanPreferencesWin.bat"
"C:\Users\Brom\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 8.0"
"C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\Layouts"
If anyone has input as to what might make a custom caption crash a responsive project, I'd be interested. I wouldn't have bothered with custom captions, except that the stock ones are so amateurish.

Importing Ms Powerpoint Slides into a Project.

I'm using Robohelp 7
I've created a manual in Ms Powerpoint containing 500 slides. It contains text, tables & Images. Is there any way to upload these slides into a project in Robohelp HTML.
I tried converting Powerpoint slides to XML format but then I lost the formatting and tables were converted to images.

PowerPoint parsing into Captivate 8 issues - where are the Adobe personnel to get this right?

In Captivate 5.5 I can import PowerPoint slides without any problems, BUT in Captivate 8 the parsing is TERRIBLE (even in high fidelity) leaving me with this result:
I have checked the size of the PP page vs the size of the Captivate software simulation video. I have imported it into an existing capture, I have started a new PowerPoint project and I have imported it into a new Blank project. Nothing works! The parsing is still terrible.
I have now read a number of Forum posts about problems with importing PP into Captivate 8 - NONE of which had answers.
So my real question here is: where are the actual Adobe staff members to answer this question and FIX THE PROBLEM! I have a contract to make videos for a company and I will lose my contract if I cannot produce good quality work.
This is NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!

You are a star! Thank you so much for the link.... I will certainly write to them.
And hopefully someone from Adobe management will see this and consider actually paying some of the generous users who contribute so much to this Forum, at least a stipend... Especially as Adobe is being paid good money for the software.
The response that I had to problems with Articulate Storyline is outstandingly good. Yes, they do have a general forum which is quite helpful but when I need specific help, their support is excellent. Eg. At about 1am on New Year's day I had a query about transferring my program from one computer to another. Thinking I would only get an answer a few days later I was really surprised when five minutes later I received an email telling me exactly what to do and inviting me to online chat if I still had a hassle.
I also belong to other Forums for various paid-for software that I use and although many of the people who answer in the space are just fellow users, their super-users (who are always around) are actual developers and are paid by the software provider to help the people who have bought their software.
So why can't the mammoth Adobe do the same?

Converting MS PowerPoint Slide in to MS Project

Hello ,
Today my boss has asked me to convert a MS PPT slide into MS Project , but i am unable to find any such option,
kindly guide me on the same.

Amit

Hi,
Do you mind providing us more information? What is the meaning of the >>convert a MS PPT slide into MS Project <<?
I assume your scenario: There a Project plan that created with PowerPoint and you want to migrate it to Project that you can control the plan. If it is correct, this requested may be based on the original PPT, if there are some images to show the plan, we
can not convert it into MS Project. We need the editable data and tasks.
If I misunderstand something, please feel free let us know. And you also can upload some screenshots here. I'll appreciate for it.

I am new to iTunes. How do I transfer files of Powerpoint slides into iTunes from PC and then into my iPad for use at a meeting

I am new to iTunes and the iOS in general, having just migrated from Android devices. Please advise as to how I can easily transfer files of Powerpoint slides in documents on my PC into iTunes, so that I can use Adobe or other app to get them into my iPAD to be able to use them at a conference. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have had an iTunes account for a while, but never really taken the time to learn to use it. Now I have two computers, with two different versions of iTunes, with content on one that I want to transfer to the other. Or I'd like to directly access the older libarary from the new computer.
There are a number of ways you might achieve this. The following article(s) may help you.
Moving your iTunes library to a new computer
Alternatively you might just use home sharing to share the libraries.
Plus I have some videos and audio CD's that I have never imported, and would like to bring them into iTunes and store on an external hard drive to keep from loading up my computer. I have no idea how to accomplish all of this, and cannot find clear instructions on the website. Is there a screen where I can access written step-by-step instructions? I don't have the time or patience to play around and do it by trail and error. Thanks.
If you place a CD into the CD drive, iTunes will ask you if you want to import it.
If you want iTunes to store content on an external drive, you need to tell it to do so, which you do at iTunes preferences > Advanced.

Having trouble importing .xml comments into Captivate 7 project.

I'm trying to import comments made in the Captivate Reviewer program. I exported the comments to my desktop and now when I try to import them into the the project, I get this error.
Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

Hard luck there! I guess you opened the Captivate source file after you sent for review and saved it again (with or without modification).
When you send a Captivate review project (CREV) file for review, it uses some kind of identifier that maps the incoming XML files with the source file. If you open/ edit the source file and save it after sending it for review, a new identifier is created, which results in this kind of mismatch. Hence this issue.
AFAIK, there is no way to import the files. You have to open the XML separately and address the comments manually.

How to reduce PowerPoint to fit captivate 6 project

I want to pull in a created PowerPoint to my Captivate project. My Captivate project needs to be 640x480 but some of the PowerPoints come in at a much larger size. When I reduce them the images are distorted. How can I alter the PowerPoint to come in smaller from the beginning?

You can adjust the size of your presentation in Power Point by going to the design ribbon in the 2010 version. Then select page set up. It will return a pop up box that allows you to adjust the size of your power point. You may have to figure out the number of pixels per inch before setting the size in Power Point.
I use Power Point almost exclusively to create our recordings. I never have an issue with importing the larger size Power Point and then using the resize or rescale option. It does appear blury on the screen but it clears up great upon publising. Before trying to resize the Power Point I would suggest you publish your file to see if it clear enough for your end product.

Importing power point slide into captivate

Not sure what I am doing wrong. I imported an animation slide
from power point to captivate last night and it worked great (using
Captivate2) I tried this morning (using cpativate 3) and the
animation will not play, it just looks like a picture. Is there
something different I have to do using Captivate 2 version vs the
Captivate 3 version? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi again yankeebrit
Well, where there's a will, there is often a way...
You could accomplish it by using what I refer to as 'The
Camtasia Approach'. Basically, it goes like this. Configure the
PowerPoint to play in a resizable window. Start the slide show in
the window, then set Captivate up to record the slideshow as it
plays. Then, when you know animation is coming, press the F9 key to
begin a full motion capture. When the animation ends, press F10 to
stop recording in full motion.
Using that technique, you are able to get what you want from
Captivate 2.
Just a thought... Rick

Inserting 4x3 PowerPoint slides into 16:9 video

I'm doing a multicam edit (two different camera angles) of a lecture. The speaker used many slides, all of which are 4x3 format and have to remain in that aspect ratio. (The slides are full of photos and images that can't be stretched or altered).
I've exported the PowerPoint as individual .jpg images, 4x3.
Right now, I'm inserting the slides throughout the video on a separate video track, then adding another track with a solid black background underneath (so that the lecturer doesn't appear on the sides of the screen underneath the slide). It's time consuming because I'm cutting back & forth between two camera angles and also the slides.
Is there a faster way to do this, so that the slides fill the screen without having to manually add a background each time?

One other thing I do when dealing with this situation is to move the slide image to one side of the screen then resize the speaker so he/she is in a window on the black side of the screen that overlaps the slide image slightly.
Just watching a static slide for a period of time can be deadly dull.
Have fun.

ps - I'd suggest exporting the powerpoint as tif files rather than jpg. FCP finds them easier to digest.

Can i integrate Powerpoint slides into FCP

Sorry - i'm not familiar with PP. Is there a way to cut slides or scenes into my timeline?
thanks.

Sure you can.
For mine, if they originated from a PC, I'll run them through Keynote and have it create image format/sizes that are relative to my sequence settings.
The tricky part is dealing with the fact that most people who use PPt, aren't aware of screen/title safe parameters and invariably end up using the entire frame.
There are creative ways around this, but it's something you'll likely face.
