Powerpoint integration

Dr. David S. Steele

A few Powerpoint questions:

1. Will you be adding a feature that will allow custom animation?  As it stands, without this feature, I will need to create 80-100 slides for a typical sermon as opposed to about 20 with the animation.

2. Once the PowerPoint as imported into Proclaim, how can I edit these slides? 

 

Many thanks in advance!

Hello David,

1. Will you be adding a feature that will allow custom animation?  As it stands, without this feature, I will need to create 80-100 slides for a typical sermon as opposed to about 20 with the animation.

Our developers are currently looking into solutions for running native PowerPoint Presentations from within Proclaim, so we may have that feature added in the near future. There is not presently any native Proclaim slide animation customization available beyond the ability to choose some transition effects between slides.

2. Once the PowerPoint as imported into Proclaim, how can I edit these slides? 

Our Import PowerPoint presentation feature processes PowerPoint slide decks and generates a collection of static jpeg images that are then placed in the Proclaim service order as a PowerPoint Presentation service item type. That service item type does not presently allow for editing or customization of the individual slides from within Proclaim, though you can remove individual slides or change their order. I know it's sometimes a pain to jump between programs, but for now, you would need to create or edit the slide to the final state that you wanted using PowerPoint prior to importing into Proclaim.

 

Yours,

Mark Flory
