Importing vector graphics

Holy cow (er ... camel)! Why do your conversions work and mine don't? Are you using Illustrator?

continuation from above:

Did you follow the steps I described several posts ago?

Does anybody have any idea why when Kevin converts an eps to a wmf it works and when I do the same it doesn't work,

I opened an eps vector graphic in Adobe Illustrator CS5, exported it as a wmf, and inserted it as a Picture in Storyline. Shouldn't that work?

I am having the same trouble. When I save a vector from Illustrator out in WMF format, the image is rasterized when importing into Storyline.

prob a little late to be any use now but for whats its worth...  'export' the vector image from illustrator as a wmf it imports into storyline just fine for me without rasterising

I've always used Adobe Fireworks for image editing, it has great shadow and bevelling tools plus it plays well with both vector and bitmap images - its ideal for screen based graphics editing. The native PNG output imports properly into storyline and you get transparency and access to shadow, glow and mirror effects, or just copy and paste from Fireworks to Storyline

export' the vector image from illustrator as a wmf it imports into storyline just fine for me without rasterising

you ensure image are export in vector formate

I am stumped on this as well...

Any updates?

Hey Steve,

If you have Adobe Illustrator, follow these steps: 

1. Open, Import, or Create your vector graphic
2. Choose File > Export...
3. Format: Windows Metafile (WMF) - or- Enhanced Metafile (EMF)
4. Save to a location you can have access from Storyline
5. In Storyline: Insert > Picture > [select your new WMF or EMF file]

You can import the same file into PPT, too. While you can't edit the vector file in Storyline, you can edit it in PPT. Once in PPT:

1. Select the image
2. Ungroup > Say Yes > Ungroup again
3. All of the individual shapes are not editable to change colors, size, or delete.

Hope that helps.

Have you guys tried previewing the slide, in the slide view the wmf looks pixeled, but as soon as you render the preview it works.
