Captivate 7: PowerPoint animations not working when previewed in HTML 5

I have imported my PowerPoint presentation (pptx) into captivate 7. On two slides, I have an image set to fade 1s after the page opens. (The slide duration is 3s). If I scrub the playhead over the timeline, the image fades as expected, and if I select the 'preview in web browser' option, it works as well. It is only when I select 'preview HTML 5 output in web browser' that the image doesn't fade as expected.

I have 2 other click boxes on the slide. One is to exit and the other is to download a file. Both are on the timeline for the full 3s. There is nothing else on the slide - what am I doing wrong?

Was this ever resolved as I am having very similar issue? My animations with fading from PPT work when I preview in web browser, and when I play the slide, but do not work when I preview with HTML5 in web browser.

Hi mary_td,

HTML5 output will work for PPTX files with High Fidelity checked in PowerPoint Import dialog while importing on Windows.

It will not work for PPT file as mentioned in your post. You can save your PPT as PPTX if that is the case.

If you still see the issue. Please mail me the pptx file.

Hi,

Have you selected the checkbox "High Fidelity" while importing the ppt file.

Thanks for answering. Yes, I did check "High Fidelity" when I imported the PowerPoint. Does HTML 5 definitely support image fades?
