Animation glitches when published?

Jul 27, 2011

Hi. I'm fairly new to Articulate. Is it normal to notice some differences between animations when viewed in Powerpoint and when published through Articulate? I have one slide in which some boxes with text are supposed to animate to a point on a road, stop, then fly off screen. The text isn't separate from the box, meaning I just added text to the center of the box rather than adding a text field. During the Fly Out animation, the text and the box seem to animate at different speeds in the published Articulate course, but don't behave this way in Powerpoint.

Hi Arend & welcome to Heroes,

Yes, it is normal to see some differences in the output. If you are experiencing issues with your animations a good place to start would be to refer to this blog entry here:

While Presenter supports the vast majority of PowerPoint animations, it does not support them all. For a list of supported animations, please see:
