Import PowerPoint, PDF, SVG, and Lottie files as scenes.

They come in as objects where you drop them, and they all stay selected. An image copied from another app goes in the center of the view when you paste it with ⌘V. For details, see Images, video, and audio.

.woff2, .woff, .ttf, and .otf files become project fonts, and the Fonts window opens with them in the Project section. If text is selected when you drop the file, that text switches to the new font right away. For how font names are set, see Fonts and text effects.

Dropping a .sshow file opens it rather than importing it. Dropped on a project opened from Studio, the file is uploaded as a new project in the same space, and if you dropped a single file, that project opens. The current project doesn’t change. Dropped on a local document in the desktop app, the file opens in a new window, and the current document stays as it is. In the trial editor, the file opens in place of the current document. If you’ve made changes, the “Replace this document?” window opens first. For a Figma design, make a .sshow file with the Figma plugin, then open it this way.

Each slide becomes one scene (“Slide 1”…). Shapes, text, pictures, tables, and groups come in with their fills, strokes, rotation, and flips, and the backgrounds and decorations from masters and layouts sit behind each slide. Object names you gave in PowerPoint stay the same.

• Changed shapesShapes such as arrows and stars become rectangles in the same place, and connectors become straight lines. Only rectangles, rounded rectangles, ellipses, lines, and freeforms keep their shape.
• Changed textTitles and body text that inherit size, color, or font from the master come in at 24px, black, in the default font. Character styles within one text are merged into the first one, and automatic bullets and numbering are dropped.
• Changed video and audioThey don’t play. Only the picture shown on the slide comes in, as an image, and it isn’t counted as skipped in the summary.
• Left outCharts · SmartArt · speaker notes · slide transitions · animations

Each page becomes one scene (“Page 1”…). Text is rebuilt as one text object per line, lines and filled areas as paths, and pictures as images. At the very bottom, “Original (PDF)”, a snapshot of the original page, sits hidden and locked.

• Changed textBold and italic don’t carry over, and paragraphs are split line by line. Text may appear in a different font.

Each file becomes one scene (“Imported”). Rectangles, circles, and ellipses come in as shapes, and lines, polygons, and paths as paths. Text, images, solid colors, and gradients come along too.

• What changesGroups are flattened onto one level. Rotated or skewed shapes become paths, and some gradients turn into their first color.
• Left outThe effects of style sheets, clips, masks, and filters, and graphics reused through symbols

Each file becomes one scene, named after the composition. Layers and shapes become objects, and motion, easing included, becomes keyframes on the scene’s Timeline. Masks, alpha mattes, blurs, drop shadows, trim paths, and gradients come in too, and the scene clock’s length becomes the file’s length.
