Severe lag when image is on the slide
Nov 20, 2014
I will try to explain what is happening to the best of my abilities.
first of all it happens in all our machines. we have windows 7 Professional and articulate storyline 1.
ok.
when an imported image is placed or being edited(crop, resize, move, arrange)
articulate "hangs"- mouse movements becoming very slow and delayed.
when on a slide there is a text box and an imported photo( 4 pegapixels for example) the delay will happen in editing the text box and the image...once the image(any we tried to reduce image size, compress it ect) is removed the lag, delays are gone.
also, it happens in all our machines, all have different terryte HDDs, different manufacturers, same OS same version(updated) of articulate - as ssoon we move to edit a slide with an imported image - the HDD starts "roaring" like it is a car trying to move extra heavy load uphill.
this tremendously delays our development times. can these be corrected-- we also have the very first version of the articulate storyline that we got initially - the delay has been happening ever since.
we simultaneously opened the task manager to see the impact on the memory - it was awfulas soon as we move to the slide with image the CPU processes increase by 35-55%. thank you

Hello Mehdi!
Please confirm that you are working locally as described here. You may also want to follow the steps described in this article.
Yes, I confirm working locally, my file names are one word, no special characters.
there is no problem with files being corrupted or unale to publish, only the problems as I described above.
further to this, I have just now, for the sake of experiment followed the repair techniques, and ALSO moved my files to the ROOT C; drive (form another local terrabyte drive)
same issue persists.
hope it helped.
Hello Mehdi!
You may want to look at the article here about maximum image size in Storyline as well.
You could also try importing the file into a new Storyline file and see if this helps.
