PowerPoint SmartArt importing
Jan 21, 2021
This is more of a feature request. If I import a PowerPoint slide that has a SmartArt Desgin element in it, that whole bit just gets imported as one image, and is un-editable. It would be great to have it import as separate elements.
For example, you can use SmartArt to make a grid of 6 photos with captions lined up in 2 rows of 3. Imported into Storyline, though, it's one big image. If I want to change anything in any way (say, the size of the font), I have to either 1) change it in the original PowerPoint, or 2) copy and paste each element separately, or 3) build it from scratch. It would be nice to be able to edit it in Storyline.
