New Presenter '12

I'm also wondering about the differences and would love to see a side by side comparison.

This isn't as comprehensive as what you're probably looking for... But it does provide some highlight comparison.

Thanks Steve, but having participated in the beta testing of Storyline was interesting to see what differences there were with the new Studio '12 compared to Storyline.

+1 for me

Hmmm, interesting stuff there...

As Carlo said, would like a Storyline to Studio '12  comparison. Soon?

Send an email to beta@articulate.com if you'd like to be considered for the beta of Studio'12.

Is it known if interactions/quizzes created in '09 will be able to be opened and edited in '12 and vice-versa? With the new Studio and Storyline, my company is trying to figure out budgets, and this will definitely factor into that!

Thanks

We too are working on budgets and are wondering if we should budget for the upgrade or change to Storyline...hmmm; seeing a total side-by-side would really be helpful.

Hi: I’m also looking for more info on Presenter ’12.  I’ve looked at the Studio ’12 Preview (New Feature Highlights) and the comparison between Presenter ’09 and Storyline.  As a long-time user of Presenter (and Captivate), here are a couple of things I’m looking for that don’t seem to be addressed: Will Presenter ’12 now recognize Action Script 3?  That will open many doors since we would be able to more easily integrate Flash and Captivate.  Also, will Presenter '12 have features similar to what Storyline has (and Captivate has some of), such as Variables, Interactive Objects (e.g., mouse-overs, buttons, etc.), or even some scripting (imagine the possibilities if Presenter recognized PPT VBA)?  Thanks for your help and patience with we anxious users out here!

The Articulate crew will be able to provide better answers. Here is my understanding:

• Yep - Presenter '12 will support AS3! I believe it will also have HTML5 and iOS outputs similar to Storyline.
• I don't think Variables and Interactive Objects will appear in Presenter '12 (partly due to the target of each tool and partly because of the challenges of implementation in Powerpoint)

Ditto the side-by-side comparison of Studio '12 and Storyline.

Would also like to know more specifically what the differences are in Storyline and the new Presenter '12. We're doing a lot of guessing and would like to make decisions whether to upgrade or switch to Storyline. I presently do a lot of animation/design on my powerpoint slides and would probably not like to lose that capability. Cost is also an issue, of course.

Will Presenter '12 provide same Section 508 support as Storyline?  See Storyline and Section 508 and Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT).

Will QM '12 export to Excel? The new highlights page says that Quizmaker will import from Excel. This is a huge improvement over QM '09, but will it also export to Excel? Being able to do both will make a positive impact on our translation process.

Hi Tom,

I am just wondering when would the beta testing starts for Presenter'12.

Thanks,
