PowerPoint to Rev stack conversion?

[Thomas McGrath III]

Yes and it is a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are using the Mac go and get keynote and open your powerpoint in 
keynote and then export as an interactive quicktime.
Keynote will make the PPT look better.
Interactive Quicktime will keep all of the transitions and builds.
It will lose any hyperlinks but if you know how to do quicktime 
hotspots you can put them back in. Or you can get the movie time and 
act on mouse ups that way.

If you can not use quicktime then do what I did and export from PPT as 
png slides to the size you need. Then in rev build a folder loading 
scheme into a single image with next prev buttons.

I did over 500 slides this way using 75 different ppt presentations 
with transparent buttons over some of them for navigation etc.

Interesting note:
Keynote saves presentations in XML and you can get the Apple Schema 
online.
That data can be brought into REV raw and use Rev's XML tools with it. 
(That would be a big project)
