PowerPoint page transitions not working?

Feb 01, 2011

Is it just me or are the PPT page transitions not working when I publish with Articulate? If I could use them it could really add some value to the look and feel of my course.

Hi Jeffrey! Presenter doesn't support slide transitions, so this is why you're not seeing them in your published output. Here's a list of supported effects: http://www.articulate.com/support/presenter09/?p=400

One thing I've done in the past when I want to simulate a transition is to apply an exit animation in PowerPoint (fade works well) to all objects on a slide, and then sync that animation to occur at the end of the slide. 

I hope that helps!

I did. What I am trying to do is replicate specific transitions because Articulate does not support transitions. I have a slide that has a graphic on it, and it is followed onto the next slide. If I use the "Wipe" transition, it looks like the graphic is a continuous line. I added an exit animation to all of the elements on the first slide to "fly out" and set to "On Click", but when I preview it in Presenter, the elements animate when the player switches from pause to play, rather than when the user clicks to go to the next slide. Any ideas?
