Templates for master slides

Hi,
It's the first time I use captivate and I have a question :
I want to have 2 master slide for the begining and the end of each sequence : Show objectives, show steps ...
The problem is that I'm not a designer.
Do you know where I can find some great templates for this ?
Regards.

I started out looking through this website. It is designed around Articulate, but I was able to take some of the ideas and re-create them in powerpoint as images and upload them into Captivate....or just use the already designed PowerPoint templates and bring them into Captivate.
http://community.articulate.com/downloads/
I also adore Tom's Blog (he always has fabulous ideas/templates/freebies) most of which end up in the downloads on the Articulate community:
http://www.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/
there are also some you can purchase here:

Good luck!

  • Using aggregator, project template and master slides

    I have been hired to create an online course on project management using Captivate. The organisation has colour coded 5 areas of the project cycle. I have never used Captivate, but I was wondering if the following is on the right track and if there are any issues I would need to be aware of. I thought I would create a project template; create a separate module for each part of the project cycle (plus the introduction, conclusion and quiz) and use a different master slide for each module to use their colours; then aggregate. It will be published as SCORM to be uploaded into the learning management system in Sharepoint. Thank you in advance for your advice.

    Sounds like a good plan to me.  You might also consider using the diagram (if there is one) of the project process on the title slide of each module to help orient the learner as to which part is now being discussed.
    One point though: If your LMS is using SCORM to track the learner's interaction with the course, don't use Aggregator to bundle the movies.  Use the Multi-SCO SCORM Packager instead.
    Aggregator is fine for bundling courses that are just going to be delivered to end users rather than tracked.

  • Adjusting Image Used for Master Slide Background

    I'd like to use a jpeg of mine as the master slide background in a Keynote doc. But I'd like to be able to adjust that image (e.g., making it brighter or less opaque) so that text is clearly visible on it. I know that in the Inspector there are ample ways to adjust the qualities of an image inserted into a slide, but I have not found any way to do with images that are slide backgrounds (or the slide master).
    Does anyone know a way? Thanks.

  • Themes/templates for photo slide show in iMovie6

    Hi:
    Wondering if anyone know how to use other themes created in the past (iMovie5). I am using iMovie6 and it comes with 5 themes.
    Thanks

    No, you can't use the iDVD templates in iPhoto, but you can make a slideshow with iDVD or iMovie!
    Perhaps that will help?

  • Creating smart builds in master slides

    Hey,
    I am putting together a keynote and I am wanting to make three templates in master slides each with a smart build.
    basically needing three templates that I can drop a bunch of photos in for approx 10 slides per master.
    It does not allow me to drop any images in the slides below apart from the master is there anyway I can do this other then making a smart build on each slide??
    Cheers onrails

    Just took a peek at Smart Builds and now I'm wondering how editable they are (ie are they based on .qtz files). Anyway, you can workaround masking on smart build objects by masking them first, copying, pasting into Pages, copying from there, then pasting back into the Drop Zone (click to highlight it, then paste). It should work directly in Keynote, but, hey, that's why we love Keynote!
    I posted about the problem here.

  • Personalized Template, can't edit added slides, only edit master slide

    Hello Keynote Geeks!
    I am counting on your expertise to help me with this challenge.
    This is what happened:
    1) I had a design company to create a personalized presentation template for my production company.
    2) Whenever I try to use this template Keynote keeps insisting on only allowing me to edit master slides. Even after I added them to the presentation. This creates a dumb workflow in which I have to be duplicating master slides, editing them in the edit master slide menu and then adding them back to my presentation.
    I recorded a 2 minutes screen flow video demonstrating the issue. Please watch it on this Vimeo link:
    https://vimeo.com/124934712
    I will be incredibly thankful to anyone that gives me a smart solution to optimize our presentation edit workflow.
    Cheers from Brazil,
    JP Jacobsen

    A "geek" means a clumsy fool, I would never call anyone this.
    You are not using the correct method to edit items on a slide. Double clicking an object on a slide that is on the slide master allows editing the master object, it does not allow editing the object on the slide.
    The correct procedure is:
    add a new silide based on a slide master of your choise
    to add a photo to the slide;   use a Finder window to drag and drop a file onto the image place holder
    to add new text to a slide; click on the text placeholder once, then type in the new text
    This assumes the master slide was created correctly by using media and text Placeholders.
    To add a text placeholder to a master slide: add a text box to the master then change the font, size and colour   
    select the text box then:     Format > Advanced > Define as text placeholder
    To add a Media Placeholder to a master slide: drag and drop any image file of the correct format (vertical or horizontal) on to the master
    select the photo then:     Format > Advanced > Define as Media placeholder
    close the master slide by clicking the blue Done button bottom right

  • Keynote 6.5 Loses Ability to Keep Master Slide Objects Static for Object Transitions

    A gripe that I'm hoping many of you are as infuriated with as me – and hopefully maybe someone can point out something I am not seeing.
    In past versions of Keynote 6:
    Premise:
    An object is placed on a Master Slide (not a placeholder)
    That master is applied to slides.
    An Object Transition (Cube, Revolve, Pop, Push, Flip, Zoom Perspective) is applied to that slide (which is followed by a slide with the same master)
    Result:
    Only objects not on the master slide would animate during the transition leading to a premium feeling transition.
    Keynote 6.5
    Premise:
    Same as above
    Result:
    All objects animate, including non placeholder Master Slide objects resulting in "too much" happening on screen.
    As a presentation designer who makes a living on Keynote, this is a huge step back. I used to trick Keynote 5.3 into getting the effect that I wanted by taking screenshots of a blank slide and then making that screen shot the background of a slide. It was a time suck, often somewhat pixelated, a huge addition to file size (especially for templating), and cumbersome to make small changes like adjusting position of logos.
    Apple... I hope one of your engineers are reading this and creates a fix for this in the near future.

  • How do I set up a master slide in Keynote that provides placeholders for multiple images?

    I came across an article in Mac|Life (Oct 2012 p90) titled "Create a Stylish Slideshow".  The steps include creating a master slide that allows for you to add multiple photos.  My master slide list for all themes allows for only one photo per slide.  What am I missing and how can I set up a slide to which I can add multiple photos as they do in this article?  Yes, I am using Keynote '09 v5.3.

    Thanks for the info.  Following the instructions which are covered in chap 12 of the User Manual, I found that I cannot use shapes as placeholders.  The only success I experienced was if I used an actual photo image.  With photos I could select  Define as Media Placeholder, with Shapes, the only option was to Define as Text Placeholder.  I will address this with a thorough review of chapter 12.  
    My initial problem was that I assumed that all themes in Keynote possessed the same set of Master slides.  When I found this not to be the case I looked at each theme and identified 12 of the 44 provided different master slide options which provided placeholders for more than 1 photo (a few provided up to 6).  For helpful information for others, here is a listing of those themes that provide master slides for more than 1 photo:  Editorial, Kyoto, Brushed Canvas, Typeset, Craft, Stock Book, Blue Print, Vellum, Modern Portfolio, White Corners, Storyboard, Formal. 
    Thanks again.  Your feedback got me on the right track to resolving my problem.

  • Master Slide templates are not showing correctly once out of film view

    I am having problems with the master view edit within captivate. I have correctly adjusted the slides to fit the design I want, however when I add a new slide with that layout the buttons and boxes are throw all over the place. As well, a lot of the objects I would like to delete in the quiz pages can not be deleted and when trying to change the text for the default correct, must answer questions box..etc I am not able to change this text.

    Hmmm, sorry about your frustration but as a daily user of Lynda.com for all kind of applications I find the Captivate courses much below their usual level. And I have commented that way on their site multiple times. There is no good practice, no explanation of proper workflows now about the logic of Captivate. You are not the first user that I helped out after such a 'bad' introduction. If you look at my answers, you'll see that I'm not that harsh usually. Having taught all kind of software applications since over 20 years, it is to me also very frustrating when I see this happening. And sorry, cannot help you with pointing to other tutorials, I never bought any book (had the same reflections when looking at books), nor trainings. I just learned by exploring and helping other users out.
    Captivate is a very versatile tool, but learning curve is made unnecessary steep by bad approach in many tutorials. You'll learn recipes in them, nothing about the concept nor the logic. And once you want to change the recipe, you are stuck.
    Do you know that in a theme you have theme color palette, object styles (did you ever use the Object Style Manager), master slides and a skin. The playbar is part of the skin. When you go to the skin editor, first tab allowed you to uncheck the playbar, go to the second tab 'Borders', and uncheck also the Borders.
    Even terminology is a problem: what do you mean by a toolbar? There is for the moment in Captivate only a Big Button Bar in editing mode (Slides, Themes, Text, Shapes....). The real toolbar disappeared in CP8, was there in previous versions. There is an Align bar remaining, but it is not visible until you show it with the Window menu.

  • Master slide for MCQ not taking

    I modified the Master Slide for "MCQ, T/F, FIB, Sequence" but when I insert a Multiple Choice question, the slide does not include any of the modifications I made to the Master Slide. Am I missing something or is this a bug? Thanks for any insight into this.

    Hi, thanks for replying so quickly. I only modified positioning, fonts, and colors. Did not delete anything. One strange thing I noticed is that the mobile slide is perfectly fine. The desktop and tablet views are the ones not accepting the changes to the Master. It's making the font and color changes but the positioning is not working correctly.
    Here are screenshots of the Master and Filmstrip of the desktop view. Thanks for any insight.

  • Overiding Mandatory Fields for master Agreement Template

    Hello,
    In the standard creation of the master agreement template the CONTACT field is mandatory. To me, this does not make sense because a template would need to be created for every contact/supplier.  We want to make the CONTACT field optional for master agreement templates.  I am trying to create a page customization with the following properties to accomplish this:
    UI ID:contracts.contract.ui.buyside.default
    Name:Master AgreementParent
    Class: Master Agreement
    Field ID: Contact
    Property: required
    Value: no
    Dimension on parent set
    Dimension Field :  IS_TEMPLATE
    Dimension Field Type: Boolean
    Dimension Value: yes
    I can not seem to make it work.  Any suggestions?  Is this even possible?
    Thanks in advance,
    Kyle

    Thanks for the quick reply.  I was hoping to avoid a dummy vendor.  This is sure a strange piece of software.

  • I need tables for prepare the master data templates for PM

    Dear Experts,
    can we prepare the master data templates by using the tables? if its possible means how we can prepare and what we have to considered ? is it right way or wrong?
    please suggest me to prepare the masterdata templates for ever use. if any small corrections we can correct it at usage time.
    please help me
    thanks a lot in advance

    Dear Jalu,
    Master data Templates have to be prepared based on Client's requirement after understanding their Business.
    For example, in Equipment master there are ~ 60 to 70 feilds, no client requires all of them. Some are inherited.
    After client requirement freezing, record LSMW and based on that prepare the Template.

    If such case that might be wrong for that you need to give all the info
    use PA30 t code go in side check what are the mandatory fields and take them as master data fields and put it in template.
    If your client is able to give other field you can very well add them no harm in it.
    But make sure you filled mandatory fields
