Sync Animations - SmartArt & Graphics

Is there any chance saving as image and re-importing would work for you?

I need an easier way. I have 20 PPTs with about 100 SmartArt graphics in each. Any ideas other than telling the instructors to scrap SmartArt?

Hey DougS - I totally understand why saving out as images would be a time tiger.

Did you try Justin and Dave's suggestion for ungrouping? If that didn't work, can you please submit a ticket so they can take a look at your files?

Ungrouping them didn't work at all. That is how I ended up with the double text look in the slide after it is published. I will open a ticket and see what solutions might be available.

Thanks for all the responses!

Doug - I have seen this doubling as well -- I would check to see if there actually are two of the objects there (perhaps one exactly under the other). I am not totally sure what causes this but I have also seen it when ungrouping smart art.

The easiest way to see is to bring up the selection pane -- Home->Editing->Select

I had the same issue of my SmartArt not entering the slide while viewing in Articulate, even though the custom animation was set to do so. In addition, I tried ungrouping and adding the animations individually and I, too, had the text create a double-overlay.

I just wanted to share with those of you who don't have tons of graphics, that the suggestion to save each graphic as a picture is a great workaround.

Thanks for the tip!

I just discovered that SmatArt animations don't work when you use a soft return for your text (Shift + Enter) and instead, will only work if you use a hard return (Enter).

Hope some users might find this tip helpful!

I posted this same message in an older thread and did another search and found a more recent one (this one)

I have developed a pretty extensive presentation using PPT 2010 and have included a fair amount of Smartart images and spent a fair amount of time setting up animations for the smartart.

When I publish the presentation the smartart is not rendered properly and the animations are not working. Additionally I notice much of the 2010 image modification features (like fading an image in the background, or having a simple box appear embossed, etc...) just don't get picked up by articulate when I publish the presentation in to flash.

So has anyone heard back with any updates to this issue?
