Importing PowerPoint - only old versions importing, not those that were changed

Mar 02, 2018

Hi there!

I am trying to import PowerPoint screencasts - that have been edited using PowerPoint.  I have saved my revisions in PowerPoint, however each time I try to import into Storyline 3, it imports the "old" unedited version.  I'm extremely puzzled...is there a cache or recycle bin I need to empty for this to stop?  I need the newest versions in my Storyline.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Hi Stacey,

Where are you saving the Powerpoints and importing them into Storyline? You'll want to make sure you're working with local project files as working from a network/shared drive could be a part of the issue. 

Also, what types of edits are you doing in Powerpoint? You'll want to take a look at the supported powerpoint elements in Storyline here.

Hi Ashley - unfortunately I tried to save on my c and re-import..however unsuccessful once they were in Storyline.  I am puzzled, as the version of the saved PowerPoint is not the version importing.

The edits were merely time edits (editing my entrance & exits in the PowerPoint deck videos).

I will try again this evening, thanks so much for your help!
