Export to Powerpoint from Storyline

Another reason to export to PPT is for users with java script disabled (for some obscure reason people do this).  As it is, at our institution, we have to be able to offer material to people in an alternate form and PPT would be the logical form. 

Hi Ken,

Thanks for sending along the feature request and welcome to the Heroes community! 

My workflow 2cents for the classroom scenario when I think I do not want them to "ask for a copy of the slides"...i.e. get my best IP for free!

1. Produce the base material in powerpoint.

2. Print the handouts etc. with the blanked-out bits (ie. for trainees to fill-in or make their notes)

3. Import to SL and add the fun bits

Bingo! Materials for handing out that aligns to SL, which I can then navigate them through.  

Thanks for sharing Mike :)

This really needs to be a feature offered. I am in the same boat. I need to export a file to PowerPoint! Is this is the works soon?

Hi Diana,

We don't share a roadmap here in the forums in regards to feature requests or product updates, but you'll also want to share your thoughts on features you'd like to see in the form of a feature request here. 

I would like to have the option to export as a PPT also.

This would be useful when the completed Storyline course will have changed from the original PPT source file.

The graphics are usually replaced and often the text in the notes, used for audio recording will change slightly once the SME hears back the audio.

To send the finished module in Storyline for translation, we then have to copy and paste back all the Notes text, and graphic changes. Often as well a single PPT slide would be split into several slides in Storyline to improve the flow.

It would be nice to be able to export the finished Storyline file to PPT, so that it can be sent for translation quicker.

Hi Darren,

Please submit a feature request as well for exporting to Powerpoint, but in regards to translation - did you look at the translation feature detailed here? 

I still think in PowerPoint, so my Storyline projects are closer to it in construction than those of you who are more skilled in self paced learning.

I often use Storyline for live presentations where I would have used PowerPoint.  I first make a copy of an on-line class so as not to mess up the original. Then, I make alterations so that instead of playing themselves or responding to user clicks on buttons, the slides respond to my clicking an invisible hot spot, usually a title that appears on each layer and reveals the next layer with additional content. Of course I take out the recorded narration and do it live.

I publish the amended story, and then open the folder and pull out the .swf file.  This file is amazing. Unlike other video, it responds to all the cursor clicks just as Storyline would on-line. But it isn't on-line, its right there on your hard drive and plays in your browser, at least it does on Firefox. I just present it as if it was PowerPoint,  Those who are accustomed to seeing a preview of the next slide in PowerPoint will miss that feature, but I never used it anyway.

Nonetheless, full conversion to PowerPoint is needed!

Cool set up Steve and thanks for sharing.
