Graphic and animation problems

Hey Mauro, welcome to Heroes! 

Glad to have you aboard! For the animation issue, a good place to start is here:

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

You can refer to our online documentation here regarding syncing your animation timings with your audio here:

As for the shifting shapes, have a look here and let us know if that resolves the issue:

Welcome again, and I hope that's helpful!

Dear Peter, thank you for your welcome here!

And for your answer as well!

I read the links you suggested and they helped me to better figure out the situation. In particular, I found useful the list of the animation accepted by Articulate.

Actually, none of them helped me to solve the problem but I've tried some alternatives and I've found the root of some of the problem I pointed out.

1. I created a text box adding a reflection effect below. This feature caused the text not to animate. I solved the problem simply eliminating the effect.

2. I created a sequence of animations, each of them including the "hide after next mouse click" option. It seems not to work with Articulate. I had to re-think the sequence in order not to use that option.

3. Concerning the inexplicable slightly rotated shapes or lines I could find a solution. In PowerPoint they are perfect, once published they sometimes deform, even the template lines...

Are these problems/solutions common?

Thanks again!

Hi Mauro!

The only issue I'm aware of with Reflection effects is pixelated text. And I'd encourage you to check out Dave Moxon's blog for more info about on-click triggers. Also, if you'd like further help with troubleshooting the rotated shapes, please feel free to Create an Articulate Presenter Package and upload the zip file to our support engineers. They'd be happy to take a closer look and help you find a solution. You can do that here:

Please include the url to this thread if you decide to submit your case, along with any other pertinent information. And feel free to leave your case number here so that I can follow it personally. Thanks, Mauro!
