Using Adobe Presenter to record a Powerpoint presentation LIVE

Hi,
I am struggling with Adobe Presenter (8).
Basically, I would like to record a Powerpoint presentation LIVE but I could not work out how to do it.
It seems to me that the Adobe Presenter tab which appears in Powerpoint is there if you want to record your presentation offline but not in front of an audience.
I would like to deliver my presentation to an audience and record it at the same time
I could use Adobe Presenter Video Creator but that won't create a table of contents with my slides titles.
Any solutions?
Denis

Presenter has never been desiged to record a live presentation. However, you could use any audio recording software (Audacity is free) to record yourself lecturing through the slides, and then import the audio from your lection into Presenter and distribute it appropriately across the slides and sync it with the animtaions.
Otherwise I would use something like a Connect Meeting or Camtasia to record the live lecture with the presentation.

Presenter video recording from PowerPoint has stopped working

My Adobe Presenter 9.02 Build 173 has suddenly developed a problem where recording video from within PowerPoint has stopped working. I have Office 2013 32-bit and Windows 8.1 64 bit. I believe that Presenter installed itself automatically in the installation process as a 64-bit application.
When I press the 'record now' icon on the Presenter toolbar, PowerPoint opens the current displayed in Slide Show view and I get the following error message:-
"Adobe presenter has encountered unexpected problem while working with this presentation......" etc.
This video recording feature from within PowerPoint has worked just fine on my system with the identical setup as mentioned in my opening paragraph but it's suddenly stopped working for some reason? I checked and do have the latest graphics driver.
The stand - alone video creator tool records video outside of PowerPoint just fine but as stated, I can’t execute recording from the ‘record’ icon on the Presenter menu in PowerPoint.
I tried the following without success:-
I created a new PowerPoint file and tried to repeat the recording process
I ran PowerPoint as Administrator and ran the file ‘Adobe-Pr-VC.exe’ (in C:\Program Files\Adobe) as Administrator
I uninstalled and re-installed Presenter
I turned off my AV software and firewall
I created a new Windows Administrator account and tried video recording within PowerPoint
Anyone have any ideas on what else I could try?
Peter

Solved! In the end, the solution was simple!
I went to the PowerPoint 2013 ribbon and clicked on 'Slide Show' and unchecked 'Use Presenter View' and video recording from within PowerPoint immediately started working fine. Previously, the 'Use Presenter View' box had a check mark in it. When you click on the record video button in Presenter, PowerPoint goes into slide show view and clearly Presenter doesn't like PowerPoint opening the Slide Show view in Presenter view.
I picked up on this from another PC I have with PowerPoint 2013 and Adobe Presenter 9. The video recording feature worked every time on that PC and I noticed that the only difference was that the newer PC had a check mark next to 'Use Presenter View' where as the older PC setup didn't.
So everything is working well now!

Can I use the ipad 2 to run Powerpoint presentations?

I am in need of a device besides the traditional laptop to run Powerpoint presentations from. Can I link this with a projector with the VGA adapter? And will the ipad 2 run Powerpoint presentations?

You will have different settings for each device, even with the same account.
Don't worry about setting it up - just connect them to iTunes, which will detect them as seperate devices, with distinct names, and for each you can choose which things you want to sync over.

I'm a new mac user and have to do a powerpoint presentation, how?

I a new mac used and have to do a powerpoint presentation, how? Is there a compatable program ? I have the pages app but don't see a powerpoint type program. Is there powerpoint app?

Do you need to do a presentation, or do you need to do a PowerPoint presentation?
PowerPoint is presentation software by Microsoft, part of Microsoft Office. If you want to use it, you need to buy it from Microsoft.
Apple has its own presentation software, called Keynote, and it's quite well regarded. However, it is not bundled with Mac OS X, and you have to buy it from Apple, either by itself, or as part of a suite called iWork, which is a sort of counterpart to Microsoft Office.
If you need compatibility with PowerPoint, but can't afford to buy it, you can try OpenOffice or LibreOffice. Both are free; they are based on the same software and they are designed for a high degree of compatibility with MS Office. There is also NeoOffice, based on the same software as the other two; it is supposed to be more Mac-like than the others, but, although theoretically free, it requires a (relatively) small fee to download, which means it's not really free. None of the three is as well polished or well supported as MS Office or iWork, but they do work quite well.

Can I upload PowerPoint directly into Connect without using Adobe Presenter?

I have a PowerPoint file (.ppt as well as .pptx) and the slides are fairly simple - mostly bullet point lists in Arial or Calibri font (nothing wild and crazy). When I upload the content directly into the Connect envrionment, the formatting of the slides (in the share pod) is all wacky. Instead of it sizing the slides to fit the share pod, the bullet points go down past the bottom of the pod and cannot be read.
I was told that the only solution to this is to purchase Adobe Presenter and publish my PowerPoint files (using Presenter) into Adobe Connect. That is not an option for me at my company. It seems like uploading a simple PowerPoint should be a basic feature of Connect without having to download/purchase Presenter licenses. Maybe I'm wrong. Below are a few images in case this is not making sense. If anyone has advice, PLEASE let me know. I cannot possibly using connect for virutal training if slides look the way they do below. Thanks!
The first image is the PowerPoint slide
Here is what it looks like in the Share Pod:

Thanks Robert,
I tried to ask Adobe for a short list of supported / unsupported fonts but the tech kept telling me he could not give me that information. I thought I tried Arial to no avail but I can do so again. Just reformatted everything in Garamond and it worked fine.
Thank you again.

Using Adobe Presenter or Captivate for video narration

Case # 181254378
Customer said "
Using the latest version of either Adobe Presenter or Captivate on a Windows system with a web cam (or similar video capture device)
, we’d like to add a video narration to a PowerPoint presentation that is synchronized to animation contained within the slides. Cur
rently PowerPoint allows the addition audio narration in sync with slide animation. Adobe presenter allows for the addition of video
narration to a static slide (in edit view). This makes it difficult or impossible to easily time video narration to match a slides
animation. Ideally we want to record video narration with active slide animation similar to the way audio narration can be added wit
h animation playing. This removes a lot of guesswork and complication from the production process."
Please advice about the same wether this would do for a feature request or,
How can we go ahead and perform this?

I figured it out.
If you select H.264 as the format you can then select YouTube Widescreen HD for the preset.
This will set everything up to convert your MTS file to 720p and reduce the file size by around 30% with little quality degradation in my experience so far.
The only problem I encountered was the video was kind of choppy when the camera panned but that was remedied by upping the frame rate from 24 to 29.97.
Hope this helps someone and if anyone has any suggestions to improve efficiency or reduce file size post it in here.

How can make the latest Adobe Presenter trial stop causing Powerpoint crash?

I have downloaded the latest trial of Adobe Presenter, in the "About Presenter" feature it shows it to be Version 7.0.7
I am using Powerpoint 2007 on a Windows XP laptop.
The trial downloaded well, it records voice well, it syncs well with animation, and it appears ok on the PowerPoint Add in bar. I managed to create some 2-3 test recordings on a PowerPoint presentation I already have, that needs turning into a Presentation. That was all. Since then Powerpoint hasn't stopped crashing. Getting back to it functions well, the problem appears whenever I finish recording. Regardless of whether I press the stop or pause button. Earlier on it happened when then pressing ok, and only after "stop" button. Now it does it every single time, and of course, it's crashing before it can save any audio files.(I haven't even tried publishing, simply because I have nothing to publish because of these crashes!)
I have browsed solutions online but they all seemed dated: like I said this is the latest version (what it seems 7.0.7) and even if I tried to download patches it doesn't accept them. Looking for updates from the add-in bar from Powerpoint only results in "no updates available for this version".
Please help! This seems to be exactly what I was looking for but obviously not if it doesn't work!
Thanks,
Gabriel

Hi Shubhi,
I'm sorry I can't do that. I don't have 7.0.7 anymore, it would be stupid to keep a piece of software that it's not working. I can't have both versions at the same time and I need to do my work, so working fine with 7.0.6.
Besides, I have already provided all the steps I followed, and the problem was indeed the same for new or old presentations, working from a Windows XP laptop and PowerPoint 2007 (with presentations saved in either 2003 or 2007 powerpoint versions).
I hope I could help in any way, but I can't spend more of my work/own time in uninstalling/installing versions, or for free!
Regards,
Gabriel

Adobe Presenter 8 keeps crashing Powerpoint

Hello,
I've been using Adobe presenter 8 for over a year on my computer with Windows 7 and Office 2010. My powerpoint instantly crashes any time i click on any of the buttons on adobe presenter (audio edit, manage quiz, publish, slide manager, etc...). I've tried several fixes mentioned earlier (removing temporary files). Also, when I start a new powerpoint it keeps asking me to disable adobe presenter add-in.
Any solutions besides re-installing adobe presenter 8?
Thanks,

I experienced the same problem starting on May 12, 2014 just like you. I spent the day uninstalling and reinstalling but the problem never went away, anytime I try any of the Presenter add-in features it would crash. At he end of the day, I tried it on another computer that has the add-in and the same thing happened. So I do not think it is just my computer. I wonder if there was a windows update that is causing the conflict. I am unable to restore my computer to a previous date to see if that helps or not, but if it is a Window issue, we surely are not the only ones having this problem.
I am running Office 2007 on Windows 2007 Professional and have Presenter 8.1 installed.
ADOBE PLEASE HELP!

I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro to a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. When I use a VGA cable, the color of the projected images are not good. When I use a USB cable, the projected image includes the presenter notes on my computer screen?

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

Using Adobe Presenter 7 when published to PDF video files do not play just a blank page, any ideas?

Using Adobe Presenter 7 when published to PDF video files do not just a blank page, any ideas? I am using office 2010 and Adobe Acrobat 9 on my PC any suggestions would be very helpful as the audio and slides work fine though no SWF files work just a blank white screen
Thanks

The problem seems to be with Acrobat 9. Can you share any such pdf generated from presenter at [email protected]
Alternatively, you can try to download Adobe Reader 10 http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=JZEFU and try to view the published output usingthe same.

Can I convert a pdf to use in a powerpoint presentation

can I convert a pdf to use in a powerpoint presentation

..and now I can reply less cryptically:
Export to PowerPoint (PPTX) is available in Acrobat XI Pro.
The all-new Save As > Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation feature will not only convert an existing PDF file into an editable PPTX file, it will (try to) recognize elements and reconstruct Master Slides, re-convert Speaker Notes and convert things like tables into genuine PowerPoint tables. The feature works on both Windows and Mac.

Creating video mpegs for use in a windows based powerpoint presentation

im putting a few short video clips together for a friend to use as part of a powerpoint presentation for work..
i have tried to send him a quicktime movie before and he hasn't been able to play it back at work so im worried about how to encode these clips so they are good quality and he can see them on his pc and use them in the presentation...
im asuming he's not downloaded any extra codec things at all so it'll need to be compatible with whatever windows has as standard...
cany anyone help me figure out the best option?
thanks

Quick Time Pro exports MPEG-4 which will not insert into PowerPoint for Windows. While you will need third-party software or hardware to export to MPEG-1 (I recommend MPEG Encoder Mac 1.5, from mainconcept.com), the whole issue here is the strange world of what PowerPoint will and will not do in Mac and then over again on Windows.... Now the "good news" is that PowerPoint can play back MPEG-1 natively, on both platforms, without any additional codecs installed. While you can use the same MPEG-1 clip, the "bad news" is that different system resources are called upon to play it back. So, if you were to insert an MPEG-1 clip in a Mac PowerPoint file, and re-open it on Windows, you will get a prompt that you need a particular QuickTime component intstalled. If you do the obverse, QuickTime will play back the audio but only display the first frame on Mac. You can still use the same MPEG-1 clip.

Saving A Movie Clip for Later Use in PowerPoint Presentation

Does anyone know how I can save a non-copyright movie clip coming down the line and played on AOL so I can then insert it in a Mac PowerPoint presentation? When I try to download now, save and replay it, I can’t view it unless I go back to AOL, which will no be available at my presentation sight. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like it is either a "reference" movie or RTSP streamed movie. You may be able to access the former by loading the URL directly to the QT Player and saving it if you have QT Pro (or you may not). In either case, a screen capture application like Snapz Pro X could be used to capture anything displayed on your monitor.

Can I create a Flash button and use it to navigate to the next slide of a PowerPoint Presentation?

Hello all,
I've been having a bit of a hard time understanding how to get a button which I have created in Flash to navigate to the next slide of the PowerPoint presentation which it has been added into. I'm fairly new to Flash, so I believe that this is slightly out of my natural skill range, so hopefully someone will be able to help.
I understand that I somehow need to make use of fscommand in ActionScript, but I'm not sure how I can get Flash and PowerPoint to communicate between themselves. If anyone could write a walkthrough on how to do this, I would be bery grateful.
I'm using Flash MX 2004 7.0 and Powerpoint 2003.
Thanks

Hi. Why not to make the whole presentation in FLASH? What you have to do is to import all the slides inside FLASH. Then place one by one in the stills and then create the code to make the stills advance and show the slides by means of the button. The code for the button goes as follows:
on (release) {
nextFrame();
to introduce this code make sure you press the button and no the frame.
Then in order to make the presentation open and cover the screen, no matter how big it is, you need to enter the following code in the first frame:
stop();
fscommand ("showmenu",false);
fscommand ("fullscreen", true);
You will need also a button to quit the aplication. This is the code:
on (release) {
stop();
fscommand ("quit");
Now write all of this in your application and let me know your experience. MamenFLASH$
