How can I upload a PowerPoint without getting the format all messed up?
Hi usmtu, Can you share a screenshot of your imported PowerPoint or post the pptx file here? The most common reason PowerPoints look wonky in Storyline is when your aspect ratio is different. Best practice is to make sure your PowerPoint ratio (4x3, 16x9) is the same as Storyline. That's the first place to check.
Thanks got it fixed! Another issue though, do you know how I can prevent the slides from changing after a few seconds? Need the slides to be changed manually.
Glad you got it working.
When you import a PowerPoint into Storyline, the slides will auto-advance. That comes from a trigger in PowerPoint, but it’s easy to fix.
- In Story View, select all your slides.
- Then in the Slide Properties panel (bottom right), find the slide advance option.
- Set it to “By user” and that will stop slides from moving forward when the timeline ends.
Hi, this is not working for me. Is there anyway I can do it individually.
Hi usmtu Can you look on each slide to see if there's a trigger that "jumps to next slide" when timeline ends? It's possible the slide property settings aren't removing the trigger. But honestly, I've never seen that happen before.
Do you want to upload your project file so we can take a quick look?
