• Can I add a button in Captivate 5 imported from PowerPoint?

  I imported a PowerPoint in Captivate and add a button.  When the user clicks the button, it is supposed to open a URL.  When I publish the movie, nothing happens when I click on the button.  I tried this on several different computers.  I also tried to insert a blank slide in Captivate and adding the button to this slide and nothing happens.  I checked that I can add a button similar to a Captivate presentation which is not composed of PowerPoint slides.

  I'd be able to do this?

  Thank you.

• When you import Powerpoint to Captivate 5, I have problems with the advancement of the slide.

  I keep running into a problem when I import a powerpoint (mac 2011) slide in Captivate. I always select 'advance slides of mouse click', but for some reason any 1st slide always plays automatically and moves to the 2nd slide without any pause to click. All other slides await clicks before moving forward. I don't know there's a really obvious answer to this problem. Any ideas?

  Captvate only adds a click box to each slide so that clicking anywhere triggers the jump.

  Why not just add your own box of click to the first slide?

• Fuzzy imports of PowerPoint

  When I import PowerPoint 2010 or PowerPoint 2003 slides in Captivate 4, the blades are a bit blurry. I think it's because the PowerPoint presentation is 960 x 720 and I create a 1024 x 768 Captivate demo.

  My screen resolution is 1024 x 768. I optimize my web browser, display the web page that I want to use in Captivate and press < Alt + PRTSCN > send it to the Clipboard. I have then create a new blank slide in PowerPoint and paste. Using this technique I end up with several PowerPoint slides which must become a Captivate demo.

  I then create a Captivate project using the option "of MS PowerPoint'. The dialog box "Convert PowerPoint presentations" shows that the size is 960 x 720. When I click on the button "Preset sizes", it shows that it is the "PowerPoint Original project size." When I change to "1024 x 768 full screen", I get a message saying "the size of the PowerPoint presentation differ from chosen... size of the Captivate project. "When I go, I end up with Captivate slides that are a bit blurry.

  How can I get clear 1024 x 768 screens Captivate imported from PowerPoint?

  As noted the definition of PP size will be a better job: PP 2010 goto to the slide show tab, select the resolution and 1024 * 768.

  As an alternative to keep private data private etc, you can also capture directly into Captivate, then place a text caption above the text to change and finally merge in the background.  The loss of quality of PP is resolved, and you can still achieve the goal of any personal or private etc.  This process is probably more than what you're doing.

  [After a re-reading the original post]

  You mention that it is quicker to do this in PP in Cp, but I suggest the following approach:

  1 make the change to all places, you need to change the slide 1

  2. Select and copy these

  3 select slides a moment that have the same data

  4 paste the slide, all objects are added in the same positions as the source

  5. then 'Merge in the background.

  If you use Cp5, then create an object style that had formatting depending on your text capture screen formats would be an easy way to keep this process through several slides and also projects (by exporting styles)

• Using PowerPoint and Captivate together - what are your best practices?

  HI - here are my two questions...

  (1) it seems that when you insert PowerPoint slides in CP7 and duplicate a slide - slide 2 is not a fresh new creation.  It is always related to the original slide & all changes to one of them in PowerPoint, a direct impact on other related slides.  I realize now that I can go back in PP and duplicate it... But it just seems like extra which steps.  Am I missing something here?

  (2) I would like to hear how others approach developers creating a new project of CP, using PowerPoint as a starting point.  Go you back or do you create new themes based on the drawings of PP and then copy and paste the content?  I guess I'm looking here for best practices.

  I appreciate your help!

  Hello

  If you start from scratch, PowerPoint is a terrible thing to consider. Don't get me wrong it's a great tool for what it does. But the reason we see even any possibility for Captivate shoot in a PowerPoint presentation is because there are still masses of people out there who have hundreds of thousands of PowerPoint presentations they want to reallocate in e-learning. So it is to get this way managed job 'quick and dirty '.

  The process of importing a PowerPoint performs a conversion of the PowerPoint slide in Flash SWF file. Then, the SWF file is configured as the subject of the slide background. That's why when you duplicated the slide, you have seen the behaviour you have done.

  Here is that if you start from scratch, start with a blank Captivate project. Use PPT if you wish, but only as a design tool. Copy the images of PPT, then insert into Captivate.

• CP8: import from powerpoint - keep the individual objects on the slide

  I did an import of PowerPoint and chose the high fidelity, but it is always also bring the slide as a single object, so I can't manipulate objects on the screen. I thought that each form would incorporate as a smart form that I could handle individually. Is there a way to get there?

  Indeed, nothing has changed on the import, you are not individual objects. High-fidelity means that animations etc will play with more precision. Captivate is not a PPT-plug-in as many users seem to think so. Ago real autour plugins if you think that a TPP can make a good e-Learning course (you think that I am not convinced that a presentation tool is a tool of e-Learning, sorry for that).

• Background image import not PowerPoint correctly CP6

  I imported a PowerPoint presentation in Captivate 6. All the images have been imported successfully... except for a background image. The blue background appears as white in both the preview and in Captivate.  It is a jpg - like all the others. It's the same thing when I saved this specific background image as a bitmap of the original psd Photoshop file - white in the preview and the Captivate slide.

  Then I tried to save it as a png file. This time, he appeared in the preview in blue, but always present as a white in the Captivate slide. I can do to make it work? Thank you!

  Thank you. I didn't do that, and I'll certainly keep it in mind.

  However, I suspect now that the problem could have file size. I never looked at the size of the image in Photoshop until it happened and found that those who created it has 31 inches wide and about 20 inches in height. It was huge. So I reduced the size and images that had not worked earlier done suddenly. Thank you!

• Import of .pptx to Captivate

  Because I can not import .pptx (PowerPoint 2007) in Captivate 3.0, I have to save as an extension .ppt (1997-2003 version).

  However, this causes the image become a little "fuzzy" If nothing else.

  Are my only options to upgrade to Captivate 4.0 or am I missing something?  Thank you!

  Chuck

  Hi Chuck

  Even if you were to upgrade to Captivate 4 your import would still probably blurry. It's because you take PowerPoint, which is designed to be presented with the full computer screen, and it requires a specific dimension.

  If you want a clear record, configure your PowerPoint to play in a window, and then save this window using Captivate, while he plays.

• Re: Satellite L550 - imported into PowerPoint Photos are too dark

  Having problems inserting JPG photos of 'Photos' Power point - they become much too dark after the transfer. Gamma-ing the JPG or upping lightness does not work. I imported the same impages using other PC and there is no problem with images in PowerPoint. The photos are A1 and taken on SLR cameras the top of the page.

  Someone had similar probs? I am using Windows 7 on my Satellite L550

  Hello

  Sometimes I have the PowerPoint user, but I've never had such a problem that pictures will get more dark after import in PowerPoint.

  In your case, I recommend you to install the latest ServicePack for your Office suite. You can get it on the Microsoft Web site. Moreover, download also all patches for the version of PowerPoint you have.

  If it doesn t work I would try reinstalling PowerPoint.

  Finally and most importantly, I think you should ask Microsoft directly on this issue. I think that it s not Toshiba associated

• Copy of PowerPoint to Captivate objects

  I need to convert a PowerPoint to Captivate, but not in the usual way. PowerPoint objects must be Captivate objects so that they must be round trip and PP whenever a change needs to be done. When I copy and paste objects from PowerPoint in Captivate, they become raster. Now that Captivate 9 supports the SVG, anyone has a suggestion how to get vector objects of PowerPoint in Captivate as SVG vector objects?

  There is no way to convert PowerPoint objects in Captivate objects.

  It's probably NOT what you want to hear but...

  If you want to change these objects in Captivate, create them early as objects of Captivate and forget using PowerPoint.

• import psd files in captivate 8

  Hello

  I'm having a problem importing psd files in captivate 8.

• Import of issues w / Captivate 4

  Hello

  I'm starting to have problems with importation of slides in Captivate 4
  projects.  The project that I am importing appears "clean".  The
  slides in the destination project fail when I import one or more in a white
  project.  This leads me to think that the source file is damaged, (even
  Although I work with an unedited master project) or my system (Win
  XP) is unstable.  I downloaded all updates of Captivate and even
  has run another installation.

  If you could tell me a solution for this, I would be grateful.

  Thank you

  Hello

  No, should be sufficient, have used CP4 intensively with 2 GB of RAM. Of course this also depends on the size of the files.

  Only other possibility is something corrupt: could be a slide or object. Only way to find the culprit is to create a new empty file and copy/paste slide by slide.

• Captivate 5 - text of the legend on top of slide video

  Hello - I hope someone may be able to help.

  I created a video showing a person who speaks. I wish to place text captions (not closed captioning) on top of the video the person pays important points.

  Unfortunately, the text of the legend is being hidden by the video.

  If I move the text caption to make it half on top of the video and half not on top of the video, I see half of the text caption appear at the right time (half that isn't on the top of the video).

  Is it possible to have the text caption appear on top of the video?

  Kind regards

  Sara

  Hello

  You can do with the Slide video to be the order lowest in the slide and text captions to be first-rate.

  Take a look at the snapshot and try this order. Let us know if it works the way you wanted it to work.

• How to import sounds in Powerpoint to Captivate?

  When I import Powerpoint slides in my living room of Captivate, do not play the animation views, but the sound effects in the Ppt in Captivate slide.  The sound file is from the media library is a .wav file and open with Windows Media Player.

  I really need to finish this show, could someone please help?  Much appreciated!

  Hello

  If the file is in WAV format, try this. Click on Start > run, typing sndrec32 in Run dialog box and then press enter. This should open the Windows Sound Recorder application. In the Interior of the tape recorder, click on file > open and navigate to the WAV file. Click on file > save as and click the Change... button at the bottom of the dialog box. Make no changes, and click on OK. (this action must convert the PCM encoding format)

  Now that you have modified the file try to import into Captivate again and see if it works.

• Overview and distort the imported publication Powerpoint

  Hello

  I work with CP6.0.1.240, and I'm trying to import a pptx 2007 high fidelity.  The blades of great import in 1024 x 768 and everything looks great in the film and in the field of vision.  However, when I saw or that you post, I'm a slight distortion with the text (see image below for an example).  As you can see the 'a' was moved to the next line.  This does not seem like a huge problem, but it is undoubtedly affecting the layout of certain content.

  One thing to note, that html5 does not have the same distortion affects. However, the publication in this way is not currently an option for me.

  

  I've upgraded to PowerPoint 2010 and it's helped a lot with this problem.  Do not know what has changed exactly on the side of PowerPoint, but it is much better.
