PowerConverter XP - Usability Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a presentation using PowerConverter XP?
It's very easy to convert your PowerPoint presentations to Flash using PowerConverter XP. Using an industry standard installer program, it seamlessly installs into PowerPoint with just a few simple clicks. And it works right inside of PowerPoint, so you never have to leave PowerPoint to output your presentations to Flash animations.
To convert, open your PowerPoint presentation. Select the PowerConverter XP button which appears below the PowerPoint menu toolbar.
When you click on thePowerCONVERTER button, a dialog box will display.
Step 1 -- Select the 'Convert to Flash' button, and PowerConverter XP will begin converting and compressing the resource files associated with your PowerPoint presentation to Flash. The conversion process may take anywhere from just seconds to a few minutes to complete - but you can be assured that it's taking care of the job accurately and completely.
Step 2 -- After converting the presentation, you can save your flash-based presentation as a Flash Shockwave File ("SWF") file or as a self-running Executable ("EXE") Flash animation. If you plan to upload your Flash presentation to the Web, you probably should choose the 'Save as SWF' button.* If you plan to burn your presentation onto CD-ROM to send to others, you may want to click the 'Save as EXE' button. Just two or three clicks. That's really all it takes!
Note: PowerConverter XP version 4 creates separate .SWF files for any media linked or embedded in your PowerPoint presentation. If you plan to upload your flash-based presentation to the internet (Web or intranet), all of these files will need to be uploaded together into the same folder. An HTML page is created for you. Simply link to the HTML file that is saved with your presentation and the link will open a new browser and automatically start playing your presentation.
For further details on optional settings available in PowerConverter XP, please read the Online Help documentation. You can access the Help documentation by clicking the Help button located in the upper right-hand corner of the PowerConverter XP Main menu screen.
What file formats does PowerConverter XP output?
PowerConverter XP converts your PowerPoint presentations to one of two file formats: SWF and EXE.
The .swf ("Shockwave File") file format is a compiled Macromedia flash format for web publishing.
The .exe ("Executable") file format contains the compressed presentation file with the Flash player built in. It’s ideal for CD-ROM distribution.
Once you convert your presentation to either of these formats, the converted presentation can not be modified / edited. However, you always have your original PowerPoint presentation file (PPT) to make changes within PowerPoint and then use PowerConverter XP to convert and output a new compressed file.

What audio file formats are supported by PowerConverter XP?
PowerConverter XP can support the same audio formats as what PowerPoint allows you to embed in your presentations. For instance, WAV and MP3 audio are industry standard audio file formats supported by PowerConverter XP. And, all versions of the PowerConverter XP support continuous audio. If you want to convert a PowerPoint presentation with continuous sound embedded, be sure to set up your sound file to play through the entire presentation before you convert your presentation to Flash. To do this, go to PowerPoint's Insert menu and select 'Movies and Sounds>Sound from File' and choose the audio you want to play. Set the sound to start automatically and make sure it is the first in line in the animation order (or that it is set to play with previous at 0 seconds). Then select PowerPoint's Custom Animation tool (located in the Slide Show menu) choose the Effect Options for that audio file. Set "Stop Playing" so that it equals the total number of slides in your presentation. The audio will automatically loop if you get to the end of the audio before the end of the presentation.
What video file formats are supported by PowerConverter XP?
PowerConverter XP can convert a wide range of MPEG and AVI video formats. To improve video conversion, make sure that you are using the latest version of Windows Media Player. Also check that the codecs you are using in the video are properly installed on your computer. Finally, check your version of the Macromedia's Flash player. Presentations that have video embedded requires Flash 6 or higher.
What impact, if any, does the video compression format (“codec”) have on PowerConverter XP?
Basically, a video codec is an algorithm used to compress video data to reduce the file size, and also to decompress it for viewing (hence, the term “codec”). Most video files are compressed using video codecs in order to reduce file size. When a video file is compressed using a particular codec, that codec must be installed on the machine that is going to display the video.
PowerConverter XP will integrate the video that has been embedded in your PowerPoint presentation to the converted flash movie format.
What should I do to make sure my converted presentation will play back at full screen display?
When using PowerConverter XP, before you convert your presentation go to the PowerConverter XP Options menu and select the General page. Enable (place a check mark) "Full screen projector" option. Enabling this option will only affect the EXE that is saved. The default size of the movie is still determined by the PowerPoint page size. But when the EXE is launched, the window will automatically start at full screen. To get out of the full screen playback mode, simply press the Escape key ("Esc") on your keyboard.
How do I navigate the presentation after it has been converted?
PowerConverter XP supports user defined hyperlinks and action buttons so you can create your own internal navigation buttons for your audience to use. There are also many choices available in the Options menu for navigating the presentation. There are standard movie controls available so you can set the color of the controls as well as the location to include easy and quick navigation to all of your slides. Also available is transparent navigation that makes the entire slide active. You can set it so that if you click anywhere on the slide, it will advance forward. You can also set previous and next so that if you click on the left side of the slide, it will navigate to the previous slide and the right half of the slide will navigate forwards. PowerConverter XP also features keyboard control. Just use the same keyboard controls that work for your PowerPoint presentation to navigate your converted flash movie. You can advance forward by using the Spacebar, Enter, Right arrow, Down arrow and Page Down. If you want to navigate backwards, use Backspace, Left arrow, Up arrow and Page Up.
How do I send my Flash presentation to someone?
Once you have converted your PowerPoint presentation to Flash, you can distribute your Flash-based presentation in any of the following ways: upload the file(s) to a Web server for others to view the presentation online. You can also attach the Flash animation file and email it to others (Note: there may be file attachment size limitations, so, you may want to check first with your email/presentation file recipient). You can also burn the file onto CD-ROM and send it to others as a presentation that runs from the CD-ROM. When you upload your presentation onto the internet (via Web site intranet), viewers of your presentation need nothing but an active internet connection, a Web browser and Macromedia Flash version 6 or higher to view it. The Flash format is a universal format and is present in 98% of all Web browsers. If, for some reason, the person(s) trying to view your presentation online does not have Flash installed on their computer, the system will automatically download a Flash viewer (the viewer is free) and install it in under one minute on a dial-up connection.
