Hello all. I had this same problem and I almost have it solved.
To import the slider data into the Revolution slider, you need to first “create” a new slider with Revolution. To do this you only need to enter a slider Title and Alias which can both be the same if you wish. In the case of the demo slide, I used homesliderthin for both. When you do the create, you will find at the bottom of the create screen an import/export button which works as normal. It is undocumented by the Revolution Slider folks and by Swiftpsd and it doesn’t appear until AFTER you have created a Slider name in your screen, so it’s tough to guess it’s there – but it is. Then just import the file homesliderthin.txt from the demo content.
I still cannot get the text on the complicated slider to be in the right font, color, size, etc. but it does show so I’m pretty close.
Note that this only creates one of about six or seven sliders. There is no help for the others, so we are left on our own there.
Good luck.
George
