You've probably already done this, but make sure you haven't moved the beginning of the motion path that PowerPoint sets up for you. If it's jerky at the very beginning and then smooth, you've moved the point from what PPT has set.
The motion paths when put into Articulate are a bit jerky, but I think that's the nature of the beast, at least for know. --Daniel
I have the same issue - using small png files with motion paths that are sometimes just straight lines other times they are built-in ppt animations that theoretically should work. Have ensured that I did not accidentally move the path beginning - the path is jerky and choppy the entire length. I've tried adjusting the frame rate and the quality both higher and lower as well as optimized for web. All animations except "fade" look terrible. My overall file size is very small and the highest pic resolution is low to medium.
Are you able to send us your files so we can take a closer look? Please create an Articulate Presenter package, then upload the zip file to our server. You can review how to do this here:

Steve, are you running from a CD? If so the first runthrough is normally slow, but the second will be cached and run better.
You may get a better effect if you choose effect option (right click animations) and remove smoth start and smoth finish

Suggestions, anyone? I'd be grateful...
