Export to Powerpoint from Storyline
Hi guys,
I have a Storyline project that I would like to be able to edit in Powerpoint - is there a way that is possible? I know going Powerpoint to Storyline is fine, but what about the other way?
I have tried copying and pasting slides, tried copying all elements on a slide and pasting... but no luck!
Really need help PLEASE!

Hey Jake - did you look at publishing to Word? That would create the images of each slide for you (and their layers). Just keep in mind that if you're adding multiple items to appear throughout the timeline you'll see them all at once in the image as a part of the publish to Word.

I did. Images sizes are quite small. When you export to jpg from ppt the canvas size stays the same.
Thanks for letting us know that you did explore that option Jake.

I just take screenshots and cut and paste them into Powerpoint. I know this does not allow editing, but for the project I'm working on, this simple transition suffices for displaying the content to a group (if they ask for edits, then I'll edit in SL2 and create a new screenshot to put into Powerpoint).

At least it's a good workaround! Thanks for sharing.

Another option for accessing some of the files is to make a backup of your .story file first (as this is not a supported feature), then on your backup copy change the .story file name to .zip and then extract the zip file. Inside the "story" folder you will find the "media" folder that has small .jpg images of your slides, along with other assets such as video and audio files. The jpgs are small, but better than nothing. :) Some further discussion can be found out this link: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/export-a-list-of-assets-used-within-the-storyline-file. I think I read Tom Kuhlmann talk about this years ago in one of his blog posts but I can't find it.

I can see why the training team would want this in PowerPoint, but it seems the best way in the future is to create the storyboards in PowerPoint, have the content approved and then move it over. This was mentioned earlier, and I agree it's the only thing you can do. I have used SL for classroom training too and that isn't a problem. The problem starts when many people in the organization want to take the content and use it with what they are used to.

when you publish your storyline project to web, look in the output file, story_contect file. you have all the pictures there, in JPEG format. you can use those in your ppt project.
Hello Mayanna! Thanks for popping in to share your experience and advice. That could certainly assist others that run across this thread in the future.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes by the way :)

Have there been any solutions or ways found to get from Storyline back to PowerPoint? We need the slides for translations. Thanks.
Hi Laura,
Importing Storyline into Powerpoint is not something that there is a solution for, but translations I could perhaps help you with.
We have a feature to assist in translating your content and allows you to export the content. Check out the article here.

Good evening,
I just finished a Storyline, and need to convert it into Power Point. I just went through the entire thread of e-mails, and it looks like many answers were given and requests posted on the support site.
Was there an actual solution for us to be able to do it?
