I notice a reduction of quality in screen shots when the presentation converts to flash. Is this something others experience, and if so, has anyone determined a solution?

Hi Steve-

There’s also been some discussion about quality loss on the forums. You can find one such thread here:

Images quality is dropped

Note that this is typically related either to the way Flash compresses images, or to the way you’re playing back the content (i.e., larger than the original image size).

Great work from BigInnovations! Never seen such a professional presentation done with articulate. Congratulation and thank you for showing this good example.

Does anyone have any experience with using Presenter 5 on an Apple (new Intel chip model)computer that is running Windows ‘bootcamp’? thanks

Any recommendations on a text-to-speech software?

Hi Jim-

We don’t have any specific text-to-speech recommendations, but I’m sure that our fine members at the Articulate Community Forums will have some ideas for you.

When will you support the Apple Mac-Intel User Community, which offers more multimedia functionality than with Apple QuickTime 7.1.2 than Windows Media Technologies.

By the way, I already have Presenter Studio 5, but had a couple of crashes with my PC, which made me switch over to a MAC.

Needless to say, I am not going back to a PC anytime soon.

I’m also interested in info re Articulate’s support for it’s products running on MacIntel machines. This software is the only reason I would ever need a Windows PC, and I’ve not wanted to buy and support a PC just to run Articulate apps. Now that I can run WinXP on a Mac, I just need to know that the apps will run w/o any issues before diving in. Thanks!

Once a power point presentation is made into Articulate can that new program be copied onto a DVD?

If not, how can I use Atriculate in my home studies continuing education seminars?

Thank you

Mac OS X support, for goodness’ sake! Flash+Quicktime+a stable, friendly OS make for a superior experience–not to mention that I’ve got all my real media tools (Final Cut Pro, etc.) running on my Mac, not a Windows box.

Any response? I’d buy a Mac version right now if it was available.

Just wondering if there was any way to synch video with the slide changes. I know you can do this audio files, but can you do this with video files? If so, how?

Hi Emily-

Here’s a work-around for how to synch video across slides, which is what I assume you’re referring to?

Can anyone help me…how can i insert a .swf in PPT.
I do know there is an option to insert a Flash movie. iam not able to get the same dimensions in the console after publishing.
as well as the Slider is not working:(*

Hi Sunil-

You’ll want to set the dimensions of your Flash movie in the application you used to create the .SWF. If you’re still running into any issues, please feel free to submit a case and we can help you out.

I really enjoyed the biginnovations presentation. One thing I noticed when clicking on one of the choices was how the presentation continued for several minutes with one piece of fluid narration. Is this one slide or was the narration turned into a playlist that played over several slides. It syncronized so well. I find that it seems obvious in my narration when I go from slide to slide and I liked the way this presentation did not have that effect. I know this is an older presentation but I’m hoping someone can comment on this or give me any tips.

Thanks,

Alanna

These do not work in Flash 10

Thanks, Amy. Yeah, unfortunately, most of these are on other servers, so we don’t have control over them. The one on our server does work, though.

The issue is related to the Flash Player 10 incompatibility with Presenter 5, so if you viewed these via Flash Player 9, they should work fine.

I have the same question as Steve. Can Articulate output be used on a DVD?

Thank you,

Glenda

Hi Glenda- you can certainly copy the published output to a data DVD for playback on a computer’s DVD drive, but if you’re referring to video playback via a DVD player on a TV, Articulate Presenter does not support that, so you’d need to find a tool that does convert to that format.

You can find more on the topic in our forums.
