Problems saving/reimporting edited PPT slides back into Cap5/Mac

Greetings, folks - 25 year Mac veteran here, new to this forum and Adobe products but an Apple Certified Pro w/emphasis on audio & video, experiencing some disappointment with Captivate 5/Mac's inability to integrate with PowerPoint as advertised.  I'm building a fairly straightforward presentation, making basic edits & changes to the .pptx and when the changes are saved and re-imported back into Captivate, they either fail to appear, or appear only in part.  In the interest of time, I'm having to work around by taking screen shots of the updated ppt slides and inserting them as images, over the Captivate slides which have failed to take the edits & updates.  FYI, running OSX 10.6.4, Captivate 5.0.0.596, Powerpoint 2008 for Mac v. 12.2.6 (100708) in case it matters.  Very grateful for any suggestions or assistance...thanks again, cheers!

Bump...anyone at Adobe, want to at least admit publicly that this is a 'known issue', or shall I just bill you for my testing time on an incomplete product?

  • Saving files edited in PSE8 back into IPhoto

    How do I re-import a file to IPhoto which was exported to & edited in PSE 8

    There are two ways to use iphoto with PSE:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor in the iphoto prefs and send your photos to PSE from iphoto. Save, not Save As, without changing the name or format of the file (you may need to go to PSE>Preferences>On First Save to set this up properly), and iphoto will automatically save your edited version.
    2. Export your photos to the desktop, edit them, make as many changes to name/format/etc as you like, and import them as new images to iphoto.

  • How do I Retrieve imovie projects from and external drive back into my mac internal drive

    How do I Retrieve imovie projects from and external drive back into my mac internal drive?
    Thank You

    Every working drive, Internal or External, should produce an Icon on your Desktop. If you cannot see those, click on the Desktop (to get Finder) and choose Preferences off the Finder Menu. The general pane has checkboxes for "Show these items on the Desktop:"
    Double click the Icon for your External Drive to open it. Open the folders on it until you find the Items you want to copy. Drag them to the Icon of your Internal Drive, or open the folder where you want them to land and drop them in there.
    A drive that does not appear on the desktop after you have asked it to may be damaged. But it would be smart to do a Restart to see if it is recognized again at next Startup.

  • Reimporting Contact Book birthdays back into Calendar?

    I had an odd issue that resulted in all of my birthday information in my phone contacts and on my calendar up and disappearing. This happened both in Outlook 2007 and on my iPhone, so I don't know which blew away the other, just that they're gone. I was able to get the contact birthday information back, but I've been unable to get either Outlook or my iPhone to dump the appropriate information back into either calendar. Anyone have any idea how to force either program to reimport the data back into their respective calendars?

    Just like you all, I suffered from this problem with a WindOHNOs machine. I too couldn't find a solution since 99% of the forums listed iCal fixes. So... I did it on my own. Now I'll have to warn you up front, the solution isn't pretty, or extremely fast, but don't fret, you wont be manually editing every single contact (well, kind of).
    Follow these steps:
    1. Go into outlook and open your calendar
    2. Select View -> Arrange By -> Current View -> Annual Events
    NOTE: All of your contacts that have birthday listed SHOULD show up on this page now. No they are not events yet; Yes its dumb that outlook 'knows' they're annual events but doesn't put them on the Calendar; Yes be patient.
    3. With a contact highlighted, hit CTRL+A, which is the command to select all the items that populate that list. Alternatively, you could hit HOME then SHIFT + END to select the entire list as well. Whatever.
    4. Right click any one of the contacts that are all highlighted, and select "Open Items"
    NOTE: Outlook will warn you that opening alot of items may take a long time and doesn't recommend it. I opened 280 contacts almost instantly, no lock up or slowing, on a craptop, so don't fret and just agree to it.
    5. With all those windows open (stop crying, I know its alot), get your fingers ready. No we're not going to have to click around everywhere and take a million years. Just some fast finger work is all.
    6. Push ALT + U, ALT + Y, ENTER, ALT + S
    NOTE: What you're doing here is manually selecting the recurrence button, then selecting yearly for the recurrence, then closing that window, then saving and closing that contact. You can click all that with your mouse, but getting into a rhythm on your keyboard makes it so you don't have to look at the screen and can go as fast as you can type perfectly.
    7. Once you get the rotation down, it will start to be like this, ALTS,+U,Y, ENTER, ALTS,+U,Y, ENTER, etc etc etc.
    Before you go on a diatribe saying how ghetto this is, realize you can do each contact in about a second and a half, so anyone should be done in about 5 minutes if you keep your pace up.
    The reason I did it this way is that there's no way to mass-change all of your contacts' settings for the recurrence of the birthdays built into Outlook. None. There ARE third party programs you can use, but every single one I found cost money ($30 for some stupid keystrokes? no thanks.) This is a ghetto, jury-rigged solution that isn't pretty, but you cant complain about it taking a long time. Sack up and just do it, its a one-time fix, so get over it.
    Cheers,
    Chris

  • How to put edited AE clips back into PPro? (CS5.5)

    Okay, so, here it goes.
    I edit my main footage in Premiere Pro. I recently purchased a denoising software that only is compatible with After Effects, so I have been using the denoiser plugin in After Effects. After I edit my basic video cut in Premiere, I select all of the clips (including audio) in the timeline, and open it in a new AE comp. After it has been opened, I do all of my major video touch ups in AE (such as denoising). Now, when I try to export the project as a Premiere Pro (PP) project and open it in Premiere, it doesn't load the project. It's just an empty sequence. That is not a big deal though, because I tried something else. I tried linking the AE composition from AE to PP which works, but it is very slow and precomposes all of the individual clips into one video clip.
    So, just to go over it again, this is what I did: Cut clips in PP > Selected all clips in the timeline of PP and opened them in a new AE comp > Edited the individual clips inside the AE comp w/ effects that are not supported by PP (only AE supports the denoiser effect) > opened the edited AE comp in PP > then the comp came up as a precomposed video clip instead of individual clips.
    So, my question is, how do I get the comp from AE to stay as individual clips when I open it in PP in case I need to adjust something? Is there a way to do this? Or should I just do the denoise effect very last?
    Two other things:
    (1) I noticed that it is extremely slow in PP to render parts of an AE comp... is it just because of the added effects?
    (2) I transcode my video footage to ProRes 422 before I bring them into PP. Once I bring the clips into AE and then back into PP (if I figure out how to), will the clips still be the same ProRes codec? I need them to be the same codec due to color grading and effects later on in post.
    Thank you SO MUCH if you can answer this! ANY help is appreciated! I explained this pretty much as good as I can, so if you don't understand my question, just ask, and I'll try to give you more info. Thanks!!

    I select all of the clips (including audio) in the timeline, and open it in a new AE comp.
    That's where you messed up.  Instead, right click on each clip you want to fix, and choose Replace with After Effects Composition.  Then redo your effects.

  • PROBLEM SOLVED "export clips from Color back into FCP & add transition"

    If I have two clips that you cannot place a transition in between here is the only thing that worked for me.
    I discovered this problem after I exported my movie clips from FCP 6 to Color and imported the color corrected files from Color back into FCP 6. I could no longer add transitions to any of my clips unless I made the following changes.
    1. 1st check to see if the video clip has an audio track underneath it. If they are not linked Select the audio and the video track to be linked, hit Command "L" and you will see an underline under the audio and video name to show that they are now linked. Do the same for the adjoining video and audio track.
    2. Next select all of the clips after the video clip you just selected by typing "tttt" this changes to the "Select All Tracks Forward Tool". Click on the track after the video track you just linked and it will select all of the tracks thereafter. Hit the "A" button to change back to the selection tool and move all of the selected tracks away from the previous video/audio track.
    3. Next type "RR" this will change to the "Ripple" tool. Now click on end of the video track on the previous video clip and type -15 (for negative 15 frames). Then click on the beginning of other video clip to the right that you linked and type +15 (for plus 15 frames).
    4. Type "tttt" to change back to the "Select All Tracks Forward Tool" the hit the "A" button to change back to the selection tool and drag all tracks back together again.
    5. You may then drag and drop your transition in between both video clips.
    I hope this helps someone...this is the only thing that worked for me!!!

    I am working with mostly DVCPro ftg, with a few clips in MiniDV.  I did have roughly 10 clips with speed changes, but they exported fine two weeks ago, when I did this the first time.  (Actually, it didn't keep the speed changes, but it did export with media to FCP). 
    The clips do have reel numbers and seem to be of the right length per clip but there's just no picture and no assoicated media with which to relink the clip.
    I'm on Color 1.5.3
    Any possible ideas?  Thank you for your help...

  • Easiest way to edit PPT slide titles

    Clients give me PPTs shortly before webinars. When recordings are viewed, slide titles are "Slide 1" "Slide 2" etc. instead of the meaningful titles in the slides. I notice that if I enter text into the default PPT slide layout, the text from the top-most box appears as the recording slide title. If there some PowerPoint 2007 technique I can use to make user created text boxes appear as slide titles in Connect recordings? My workaround is to add transparent outline text for each slide and paste in the text from the user's text box.  Any better technique?

  • PPT slides pdf created on Mac messed up when opened on PC

    Hello folks! I have been saving my PPT handouts as PDFs (using Print->PDF->Save as PDF) and e-mailing to our secretary for printing. However, when she opens them on her PC, the color schemes of the slides and formatting of some background shapes (e.g., boxes) is messed up. For instance, a blue background appears as white and a gray rectangle I have as background for the shape appears smaller than it should be. When she opens pdfs created by other Windows users, there are no such problems. Just mine and another colleague's, both being Mac users. Btw, our slides appear fine on some other PCs.
    I thought pdf files were platform-independent. Doesn't seem to be the case here. I have been creating the slides using Office of Mac 2011 and my OS is 10.6.8. Not sure which version of Adobe Reader our secretary has, but she tells me it's the latest version. Is her computer missing something that hampers the display of the slides? Any ideas on what may be going on?
    Thanks in advance.

    This is not a mac/pc issue. It's a page code issue combined
    with browser
    rendering. And as long as you build your pages without a
    valid and complete
    doctype on them, you will continue to have these problems.
    > I'm not good with code
    DW will be a frustrating experience for you in this state.
    The real culprit here is revealed in this line of code -
    <!-- ImageReady Slices (sep_services.psd
    Layout problems with pages built using graphics applications
    to write your
    HTML probably account for 50% of the posts to this forum,
    unfortunately.
    All of these issues are caused by the fact that the graphics
    apps write the
    HTML to EXACTLY match the image, but in doing so, that HTML
    will break when
    you replace the image with real-world content that has a
    slightly (even VERY
    slightly) different shape.
    But try this - in code view, find and replace all instances
    of this -
    border="0"></a> </td>
    with this -
    border="0"></a></td>
    (note that all I did there was to remove a trailing space

    does that help?

  • How do I get back into my Mac Pro?

    My passwords to my Mac appear to have been changed and I can't log into it. Here's my suspicion: last week, I lost my iTouch, and -- if it's possible -- the finder has gotten into my Mac through my firewall; the person left a Master password hint "EX found this," which I don't recognize, and also seems a hint. I've tried lots of combinations of Apple, itouch, ipod, etc.,without luck.
    Can this be done? And what do I do now?

    Unless you had your Mac passwords stored in clear text on your iPod touch and also had one of the VNC applications so that someone could have taken control of your Mac, it's highly unlikely someone could have used your iPod to hack into your system. But I'll never say anything is impossible.
    Anyway, boot your Mac from the Mac OS X installer disk and from the Utilities menu choose "Reset Password" and follow the instructions.
    Once you can get into your Mac, I would strongly suggest you immediately back up all of your documents, music, etc., then erase the hard drive and reinstall Mac OS X, your application and data. If someone has managed to hack into your Mac, there's no way of telling what sort of keylogger or other exploit they might have installed that might be able to capture other passwords and such and send them to the hacker.

  • Can't reconnect edited TIFF files back into library

    There's a big problem I'm having.
    After a vault restore, Aperture won't let me reconnect my edited tiff files. I open the "manage referenced files" dialogue and I navigate to the image, but I can't reconnect them. The "reconnect" buttons are greyed out. Here's a couple of pix of what's happening:
    http://amrosario.com/Aperture001.jpg
    http://amrosario.com/Aperture002.jpg
    Not to mention that with some images, Aperture is recorded the wrong file size (as seen in my second screenshot).
    I need help desperately!
    Antonio

    Thanks for all the words of help.
    What is strange about this is this:
    I'm working with NEF raw files from a D2X.
    Before my hard drive issue, I did some editing of the raw files in Aperture. Then, I had Aperture send the tweaked file to Photoshop for more editing. Aperture sent over a 16bit tiff file. The file was about 70 megs in size (a 12.4 megapixel file @16 bits). Fine.
    So, I did some editing and resizing in Photoshop and ended up with a layered TIFF file which was about 300 megs in size. Fine.
    I saved it and went back to Aperture. Aperture took a minute or two to update the thumbnail. Fine - it's a big file. So far, everything was working as it should.
    Back in Aperture, the edited TIFF was (automatically) stacked with the raw NEF file. Fine.
    Then... HARD DRIVE ISSUE (actually, a raid failure, but that's another story).
    After many hours or rebuilding and restoring from a saved vault, I get this issue where Aperture cannot find the stacked, edited tiffs. Ok, fine, so....
    I go to the "manage referenced files" command and navigate to the tiff files stored on my hard drive and bingo....
    No go...
    But the strange thing is (and you can see it in my second screenshot above) that aperture is looking for a 70meg image where the edited image is actually much larger. If you look at this screenshot ( http://amrosario.com/Aperture002.jpg ) you can see that Aperture is looking for a 70.1mb file at 2852x4296 pixels. This is what Aperture originally sent over to Photoshop for me to edit. The actual edited file was saved (and cataloged by Aperture before my HARD DRIVE ISSUE) as a 236.8mb file at 3419x5150 pixels (this was the edited version.
    After my hard drive issue and restore from vault, Aperture "forgot" that I had edited the image and enlarged it. It is looking for the 16bit TIFF that it originally sent to Photoshop when I first started to edit the image.
    This is the big problem and, I think, bug in Aperture.
    I have since reimported the TIFF files and will re-stack them with the original NEFs. But this is a lot of work.
    I'm wondering if someone from the Aperture team can help figure this out.
    I hope that I've made the problem clearer. This is hard to do with words.
    Thanks for everyone's input.

  • Saving PSE-edited RAW files directly into my iPhoto library in JPEG format

    I take photos in RAW format and like to save the edited file in iPhoto in JPEG. I'm using a pretty convoluted process--changing the PSD extension to JPG and saving to my desktop. Then dragging the file from desktop to iPhoto in the dock. The file is then in its own event, and I can move it where I want it. Can the file be saved directly to the event in iPhoto from PSE? Thanks.
    John Willetts

    John
    No. What you are doing is the "correct" way to do things.
    The problem arises because when you process the RAW it's saved as a different format, hence a new file and that has to be imported independently.

  • Problems saving photos edited in PSE10 to Windows 8

    I edit a photo using PSE10 and then save it to my picture library in Windows 8.  When I go to the picture library the thumbnail is the new (edited) photo. But when I click on the thumbnail to enlarge it to full screen, the picture is the old (unedited) photo. This was not a problem with Windows 7.  How do I correctly save edited photos?  Help.

    Jodeth,
    That's great. Yup, it's those little things!
    You can always do a "save as" and save to the desktop. This will not change the image within iPhoto which is sometimes a way to go if you don't want the image changed within iPhoto but want to use the edited image for something else.

  • I have a problem saving an edited photo

    After editing a photo it won't save in photoshop but does save it on the hard drive. Anyone know why?

    When I am working in photoshop elements (4), I edit a photo, tell it to save (I check the boxes save in version set and include in the organizer) and when it finishes saving the changes it doesn't show the edited version.  When I pull up the pictures on the hard drive, the changes are there but they aren't showing up in photoshop.  I have done thousands of pictures the same way and they have always come up edited in photoshop and all of a sudden it doesn't work.

  • Problems saving files to network with Adobe CC on Mac OS Yosemite

    Hi there
    I have just made the change up to Adobe CC on my four Mac computers.
    This consists of three Mac Minis (new) running OS X 10.10 Yosemite (as installed by Apple) and an iMac running OS X 10.10 Yosemite (upgraded from 10.6 Snow Leopard).
    The problem we have is on the Mac Mini's, when I am working within InDesign, if I create a new file and then try to save it, it will only save to either the local Mac hard drive or the Creative Cloud. Any attempts to save this file to a local network Mac or Windows server results in an error regards permissions (Error code 1).
    If I save this file to the desktop of the Mac and close the file, I can then drag and drop it into the network location with no problems, thus the permissions are correct on the servers and the issue is coming from InDesign.
    But the iMac which has had it's OS X upgraded, this allows the saving of files to any of the locations with no problems.
    If an InDesign file is stored in any of the locations and I attempt to open the file, any stored on the local network servers will error on the Mac Mini's, but will open on the iMac.
    Has anyone seen this sort of behaviour at all and have a possible way to resolve this?
    At current all work is stored locally and moved into position, or copied off of the server, worked on and then moved back. This is not an acceptable way to work permanently.
    Thanks,
    Rabidengineer.

    Having same issue. Using Indesign CC 2014.2 update, OS X 10.10.3 and any server using a smb, afp, or cifs connection.
