What is the best way to use each package with each other? Is it best to import powerpoint into studio 09 for quick assembly then import the course from studio 09 to storyline for more sophisticated interactivity then publish?
If a PowerPoint presentation includes Articulate Presenter resources, the information contained in the player template—such as navigation settings, text labels, and colors—will not be imported into Storyline when you import the presentation. You'll need to configure these settings in the Storyline player.
The two programs were not really created to work together, but there have been some workarounds for sharing content. If you need any specific information, just let us know
It sounds as though we need to import Powerpoint storyboards into Storyline and do all the development in there to get the maximum benefits of Storyline's new features. Would there be any reason to use Studio?
I apologize for the delay, I've been on vacation. Honestly, I think it's a matter of preference. Storyline has some awesome features, but so does Studio. If you'd like to compare the two, you could always take advantage of the free trials for either, or both software packages. If you're more comfortable working in PowerPoint, Studio might be the best choice. But again, it's really a matter of preference.
It sounds like you're already using Storyline, but I'm not entirely sure. If you'd like, you can download the free trial for Storyline here, and the free trial for Studio '09 here. Both come with 30 day free trials. Hopefully, that will give you enough time to compare and see which one you enjoy working with the most.

Hi Terry. Welcome to E-Learning Heroes!
It really depends on the content you're working with. There are some limitations when importing from PowerPoint/Presenter into Storyline.
Here's some additional information you might find helpful:

If a PowerPoint presentation includes Articulate Presenter attachments, the attachments will not be imported into Storyline when you import the presentation. However, you can still add the attachments to your Storyline project. Click here to learn how.
