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.

See you soon... Rick

  • What are the best practices for creating only time data types, and not the Date

    Hi gurus,

    We use 12 c DB and we have a requirement to create the column with datatype of time only, if someone please describe what are the best practices for the creation of this.

    I would strongly appreciate ideas and suggestions.

    Kind regards
    Ranjan

    Hello

    How do you intend to use the time?

    If you are going to combine with DATEs or timestamps from a other source, then an INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND or NUMBER may be better.

    Will you need to perform arithmetic operations on time, for example, increase the time to 20%, or take an average?   If so, the NUMBER would be preferable.

    You are just going to display it?  In this case, DAY INTERVAL in SECONDS, DATE or VARCHAR2 would work.

    As Blushadow said, it depends.

  • What are the best practices framework OA customizations autour?

    Hello

    We make many customizations in our case.

    What are the best practices around customizations.

    How to document?

    What is a good practice to make all the customizations by using functional Adimistrator?

    Kind regards

    Best place for this question would be OA Framework

    What are the best practices around customizations.

    What do you mean by that? There is one way you can do customization. But the functionality can be achieved differently, in this case, it will be very specific in what you want to achieve.

    If you reference how to do customization, such as aid of the functional administrator or go to the page and clicking in the Customize link in the page or by using the xml file and using XMLImporter, it is not really important.

    If ask you questions about the migration of customization, you can either export to leave an instance and import them into another instance using functional administrator or XML importer. Or do it manually again.

    The XML importer is usually easy and need less documentation from the point of view of migration.

    How to document?

    If you migrate manually, could better document the steps with screenshots.

    If not, document changes in the screen as well as the reference to the downloaded file customization.

    What is a good practice to make all the customizations by using functional Adimistrator?

    This is one of the option.   I don't see anything wrong with that.

    By accessing the page could be more easily test the change.

  • What are the best practices for a new employee to learn inside the instance of their business of Eloqua as efficiently as possible?

    We have companies everything changed at some point in our lives. And we all go through the process in the first weeks, where you feel new and are just trying to figure out how not to get lost on your way in the mornings.

    On top of that, trying to familiarize yourself with your new company Eloqua instance can be a daunting task, especially if it's a large organization.

    What are the best practices for new employees to learn as efficiently and effectively as possible?

    I am in this situation right now. Moved to a much larger organization. It is a huge task trying to understand all the ins and outs not only society, but also of the eloqua instance, especially when she is complex with many points of integration. I find that most of the learning happens when I really go do the work. I spent a ton of time going through the programs, documentation, integrations, etc., but after awhile, it's all just words on a page and not absorbed.

    The biggest thing that I recommend is to learn how and why things are made the way they are currently, ask lots of questions, don't assume not that things work the same as they did with your previous employer.

    Download some base in place level benchmarks to demonstrate additional improvement.

    Make a list of tasks in the long term. As a new pair of eyes, make a list of things you'd like to improve.

  • What are the best practices for use of GLOBAL Variables

    Hello

    Please guide how Global Variables can be declared and how they can be initialized.


    Further please guide what are the impacts of the Variables(if any) world on the memory of the CLIENT or the SERVER, if they are not initialized or released after use.


    Thank you.

    Kind regards.

    There are 255 characters (fixed) - or a less than before, don't know if they still are that length.
    My preference is not to use and use the settings or package variables. There is no real control of globals, so you may find yourself with an applications which has a good number of them which is used only once but which persists during the user's session.

  • What are the best practices for using Lightroom in two places

    Here's the problem:

    Photographer working weekends and holidays at another place with a second laptop (no).  Photographer wants to keep two separate but identical to the entire photo library copies and the catalog LR for safety.  At the end of a period of work at location 1, photographer wants to take all the changed files (some new, some just changed) and update the LR and the library catalogue to slot 2.  This could be done via the internet, but it is perhaps more practical transport changes on a disk "intermediary".

    Does anyone have an opinion on the best ways to do this?  Is there a way to just export (as the catalog) files and the changed files and then import it into a different location?  Manually copying files of photos that we think have been modified to run the risk of missing some.  Just copy everything means carrying close to 2 TB and this will also take a long time before each trip.  Not so convenient every weekend.

    Tips and ideas appreciated.

    Create a smart collection - published in X days. Select it and export as catalog, including negatives. Keep to the other computer and import the catalog to enter the catalog of another computer (or just open it directly). Reverse the process to bring things back.

  • What are the best practices to install drivers for Windows 7-64 bit?

    I have HP Pavilion dv6-1115e laptop, which Windows Vista was the original OS. Recently I upgraded to Windows 7-64 bit version, but I still use pilots who originallay came for Windows Vista (no problem at all for the moment). Now I have thoughts of installing drivers that are specifically for Windows 7 64 bit to improve performance. So what I need to first uninstall each software driver and then install the new versions OR I can install them without deleting the previous versions? It would lead to a kind of shock?

    Hello:

    Normally you can just update the drivers without uninstalling existing, unless the installation instructions will tell you to do.

    Some driver packages will automatically uninstall the old drivers before installing new.

    More simply install on the current criteria. I rarely uninstall drivers before updating them.

    After you update a driver, you must always check the tab driver in the Device Manager for the device that you updated to ensure that the new driver installed. You can check this tab before update and then after you updated to note the date/version of the pilot before and the driver date and version later.

    If for some reason, there was no change, then I uninstall the current driver and try reinstalling the newest one.

    Others may have different opinions.

  • What are the best practices for editing files .mov (output of a Ninja Blade ProRes recorder) on a PC?

    We recorded using our recorder ProRes Ninja, resulting in files large .mov (as expected). While my Mac laptop is capable of playing Quicktime files, my PC cannot of course. In the meantime, I create compressed copies of the files (such as .mp4s) for sequencing on my PC, because it is a much more powerful machine. However, I don't know how to use these compressed files affect the quality of the final product.

    I have to encode files .mov to a different output for use on my PC, is there a way for my PC read uncompressed files or .mp4 files will be sufficient for the high quality of desired output?

    Thanks for your help!

    For a PC, you have to download the Quicktime Player... Although I found that the best work, go ahead and get the Qt Pro license (bit less $ 30) seem to make the best out of my 1080 p mov files. Many users pc found here as soon as they have downloaded Qt, their mov worked well. So... you should be able to use fine as-is in mov codec after d - l QuickTime or at worst, Qt Pro license number is entered in your Qt player.

  • Big 2 TB + vm - what is the best practice?

    Hello

    Our file server currently uses the measure with a total area of 4 to DS. The virtual machine contains 11 vDisks with sizes ranging from 50 GB to 1.35 to totaling 3.8 TB of data. each vDisk belongs to a division within the company. We are running out of space on the DS, and we need to make changes.

    I did read something positive on the use of measurement other than for a short fix.

    Question: What are the best practices to go forward get rid us of the widespread use, it has been suggested, we look at DFS or perhaps a new virtual machine intended only for the major divisions.

    If we add a new disk and that it points to an another DS on it's own logic unit number, we run into the trouble of storage vMotion, try to group the disc under a store.

    I'm sure that there are large organizations out there running in this situation, any guidance is appreciated!

    See you soon

    If you need a file server, that SFR might be a solution.

    You can use vmdk as well on the same VM, or more file servers.

    For other purposes, you can use the junction to mount a drive in a folder.

  • Using iPhoto and Photos together

    Is - this here anyway to use iPhoto and pictures together until I have get used to the interface of Photos?

    The Photos and both iPhoto 9.6.1 work on El Capitan.  You can have both applications open at the same time.

    Only two applications have a different format for libraries of photos, so each of them uses a separate photo library.  If you edit photos in iPhoto, the changes will not appear in the photo library and vice versa.

    You could use iPhoto and its library as your main library and import new photos in iPhoto, while exploring the Photos.  Once you are confident that the Photos will suffice your needs, open the iPhoto library in Photos and create a new library of pictures of him.  Then start to use the Photos as your main photo application.

  • CS5 for mac is installed on an old mac.  I have a new Mac Pro and iMac, that I want to install.  I can do this, and if not what is my best option.  I mainly use Photoshop later.  Thank you!

    I have a new Mac Pro and iMac, I want to install CS5 on them.  I can do this, and if not what is my best option.  I mainly use Photoshop later.  Thank you!

    Personally, I would install just without turning off. Worst thing that will l be happen you will need to disable a. Does not mean that you must uninstall just disable and when you need it, just disable one of the other and activate the current. But I assume CS5 because he is not yet supported most probably don't even follow the activations. I'm guessing the last part but when trying to install and activate without disabling one will not harm what anyone,.
