Preview & Published Version does not equal the 'Slideshow' or 'Sync Animation' previews

Mar 10, 2015

I am trying to get an animation to look right, however, no matter how well it looks in the slideshow presentation OR the sync animation review panel ... when it is previewed or published animations are not aligned right, fade away strangely and the sound doesn't link up. 

Any suggestions?

It is the recent update. I think it is just this file, haven't had any issues in the past.

When I go into 'Sync Animations' and hit 'play' it works perfectly. I save it, close.

After, both the previewed and published versions do not work right. Even without audio, the powerpoint presentation viewer does the graphics correctly. Not sure where the issue is.

Hi Steven!

You may be able to resolve PowerPoint file corruption in this manner:

  1. Open a new, blank presentation in PowerPoint.
  2. Go to the Home tab, click the drop-down arrow beside New Slide, and choose Reuse Slides.
  3. In the Reuse Slides panel, click the Browse button and choose Browse File.
  4. Browse to your original PowerPoint file and click Open.
  5. At the bottom of the Reuse Slides panel, mark the box to Keep source formatting.
  6. Right-click the first slide in the Reuse Slides panel and select Insert All Slides.
  7. Save the new presentation and republish.

Note: Articulate resources, such as audio and video, will need to be inserted again into the new presentation. You may need to export the narration from your original presentation, then import it into the new presentation.
