narration gone when importing Power point

Hi, Tiffany, and welcome to the community!

In addition, please note that if reply via email and attempt to attach your file, it will not appear here in the threads for us to review. Thanks! 

Christie,

My issue is not with Articulate Studio but Articulate Storyline. Does Storyline allow importing power point narration and videos or can we only do narration and videos in Storyline? Will the narration and videos in a power point presentation import into Storyline without extra work?

Please advise.

Tiffany,

I happened upon something the other day when I was researching another issue - and I made a mental note of what I found since I create my audio files in Audacity or Audition, and then import them into my project.

This is from E-Learning Uncovered: Storyline 2.

"If you import a PowerPoint slide with audio recorded in PowerPoint or Articulate Presenter, the audio is imported and works like any other audio. If the audio was attached as a file in PowerPoint, it will not be imported." (p. 89)

I hope that helps.

Hi, Tiffany - Chuck is correct.  It should come through, as audio, if it was inserted slide by slide. If you used it as a playlist, it is not supported. Please see the following for further details:

Playlists Aren't Supported in Articulate Storyline

Hope that helps clarify things! :)

And Tiffany: I also wanted to note that when you reply via email, your signature will be displayed publicly here in the thread, so you are welcome to edit to remove that information if you wish. 

Thanks Christie and Chuck. What about videos? If I place a video in power point and then import this file into Storyline, will the video come through? I haven't had any luck with the video being recognized as a video.

Thanks.

Hi, Tiffany -- According to this article, Tips for Importing Microsoft PowerPoint and Articulate Presenter Content, "Presenter panel videos aren't supported in Storyline and won't be imported."
