Question

Breeze to Captivate

Hi,
I have a number of programs that were developed in Macromedia Breeze. I no longer have access to the Breeze software and need to update these programs. Is there some way that the Breeze PPC files can be imported into Captivate? Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!
Gary

    Hi

    Macromedia Breeze is solely a server function, not a development tool, so I fail to understand how your projects could have been developed in Breeze?

    A PPC file is a plug in for Powerpoint which allows them to be converted to run on the Breeze server.

    Here is an explanation of a PPC file:

    When recording audio and slide synchronization, the Macromedia Breeze Plug-in for PowerPoint creates a PPC file. The PPC file contains the audio and syncing information for the presentation. This file is automatically created and managed by the Macromedia Breeze Plug-in for PowerPoint. If the PPC file is deleted, or if the PowerPoint presentation is moved to another machine and the PPC file is not included, the audio and syncing will be lost for the presentation.

    To answer your question, try downloading the whole project from the Breeze server, in there you may hopefully find the original Powerpoint file which is what you need to enable you to edit and re-publish to Breeze server.

    regards

    Thanks for the reply and I am quite aware of what Breeze is having used it for four years. Perhaps I didn't word my question clearly so let me take another shot at this:

    Several years ago I authored a number of courses using the Breeze plug in for PowerPoint. These were published to a server that no longer exists (you were able to publish either to Macromedia's server or your own). I do still have the PowerPoint files and the matching PPC files. My question is; can I do anything with these in Captivate or do I have to re-author these courses from scratch?

    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can be!
