Hi. I'm hoping that an Articulate developer who is monitoring this forum might be able to help me. I need to know which of the currently unsupported Powerpoint transitions will be supported in the 2013 version:
I'm building a course with the goal of publishing in the 2013 version. I don't want to design around limitations that will not exist in that version. Is support for additional animations "in plan" for 2013? If so, which animations will be supported? I'm not asking for a firm commitment, just a general sense of what you are planning.
This is not something we have announced or can comment on. You can check out what we have announced regarding the next version of Studio here. Your safest bet would be to work within what is currently supported.
I've been using '10 with Studio '09 for that past couple years, and have learned the limitations, but found ways to work around.
I never use the Synch tool. I always use the PPT animation frame for my animations. This means I also have to have my current audio up in another tool (Goldwave or Audacity are good freeware/shareware audio tools). But doing this means I can pinpoint my animations exactly. And if I need to edit, i don't have to re-synch the whole screen.
But that's how I learned PPT before these tools came about, which makes me old-school I guess

Hi DeDe.

I just tried editing a course built with PowerPoint 2010 and Presenter '09. I'd say this is not truly supported yet.
Tried to Sync Audio & PowerPoint crashed. Also, some of the animation did not show up correctly.
I'd say to stay away from 2013 until Articulate states it is fully supported.
Here's the list of currently support animations for '09:
