I am in a situation where I was handed a Captivate 9 file and asked to see if I could re-create it in Storyline. Is there a way to import any of the slides. I have not been successful in importing the SWF file. It a very long course and will take me many hours to re-create it. If there is some advice from some experts on some shortcuts etc. I would REALLY appreciate it.
Hopefully, some other folks who've tackled this kind of work will chime in with any other tips or tricks they have for making this process a bit easier.
Here's a post I did a while back on how to take old content from Flash and bring it into your course. The ideas would work with Captivate content as well, for the most part.
Thanks for the PPT tip - I haven't tried it. I can't even open the native captivate file so I've started to rebuild the course - but there are parts that are missing so the PPT might work to find the information I need. Thanks again for taking the time to answer my question.

Hi Nancy. There is not a way to import Captivate files into Storyline, although it looks like some folks have embedded a published Captivate project using the web object in Storyline 360. My Captivate knowledge is pretty rusty, but I've been told that newer versions of Captivate have an export to PPT function. Since you can import PPT into Storyline, that option might save you some time.
