Hi guys, I am finding Storyline often slows down to a snails pace when I'm designing certain slides with lots of graphics. I also installed some new fonts recently, is there anyone tecchie who could suggest if it's these fonts that are slowing me down? I bought a really decent spec PC recently so I'm confident its not the computer.
I'm sure you've already checked the system requirements here and you may want to check into any other programs or applications that are open or running in the background and pulling from the available memory for Storyline.
Did you notice an increase in the slow down after installing the fonts?
Are they all fonts that are accessible within Storyline? I can't imagine that 12 font files would cause such a performance degradation. Have you tried to repair Storyline since noticing the change?
Hi Phil - what photo file format does Articulate recommend? And - I'm curious if say, a jpeg and png are the same file size, does the png slow Articulate more than the jpeg?
(My current project has one slide with 11 layers, probably about 70 photos altogether, and it's taking almost 5 seconds just to select a picture. Most of them are jpegs actually, but there are some pngs in the bunch.)

Hi Ant,

Yes, it does seem to be a bit slower since I've installed around 12 new fonts
Thanks

Hi Ant,

Yes they are all accessible. I will try a repair and see how that goes
Too many fonts can slow down your system not sure 12 more is enough but may be a tipping point. May be a corrupted font
Using high quality PNGs can slow down storyline

Thanks for any guidance you can provide -

I generally use pngs but find on layers that high quality pngs can slow things down
Hi Anne,
You can also see here the different options we support in terms of adding images.
