I have been using Articulate Presenter and would love know why the animations you create in PowerPoint, do not work the same when packaged into an Articulate file?
I wanted to have a puzzle I created with shapes in PowerPoint, to be able to have users to click on a shape, that would flip over using Animations in PowerPoint. This does work when using a PowerPoint presentation, but becomes static when packaged as an Articulate.
Could you tell us more about what is not working or what you've got set up? Are you using Presenter 09 or Presenter 13? What version of Powerpoint are you using? Are the animations not working when viewing the preview, the published version, all of the above? You'll first want to confirm that you're working on local project files as described here. Also, can you check that you're viewing the published output within the intended environment as described here?
Okay why don't you just tell people to use the Sync Animations feature in the Articulate tab? This is apparently a new feature for '13 so many of us are not familiar with it.
Have to be honest, I'm a little disppointed since upgrading that I've had to search all over the forums for answers. One of the selling points of Articulate in the past was the ability to get quick resolutions to issues. It's just very frustrating and I don't have the time to do this.
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty you've had in finding ways to do things in Studio 13. You may want to begin by reviewing the tutorials here and the kb articles here where any changes in behavior or known issues we've reported to our QA team have been shared.
I wanted to warn everyone here that if you're creating shapes in power point and then using articulate's sync animation, the preview may not look the same as it does as a published file. Many times, articulate will not publish shapes (especially if you add effects, borders, etc.) you create in the presentation. The way to work around this is to create your shape, then right click it and save it as a picture. Then, delete the shame and insert the picture version.

HI Shae,
Are you using Presenter 09 or 13?
You'll see the supported Presenter 13 animations here. The Presenter 09 list of animations is here.
I am having the same problem using only approved Presenter animations and it's not working. Please help.

Hi Scott,
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty you've had in finding ways to do things in Studio 13. You may want to begin by reviewing the tutorials here and the kb articles here where any changes in behavior or known issues we've reported to our QA team have been shared.
Also, you can always post a new query here in the forums, or reach out to our Support team directly.
I'm also not sure I'm clear on what you mean about the sync animations being new in Studio '13, as here is the information for how that would work in Studio 09.
Please let us know if there is something specific that you're struggling with and we'll be happy to help.

Thanks Julia - and I replied in your other thread too so we'd be happy to take a look at the files.
Great! How should I send them?
Thank you,
