Speed and selecting objects

Sep 30, 2018

I'm spending lots of hours on Storyline and I'm starting to get frustrated by the speed to selecting objects. Currently when I select an object its taking about 2.5 seconds before the object displays its placeholders. I then get the same delay when I try to move it. I've looked at my computer and its running at about 20% CPU & 55% RAM. I've restarted my computer & tested again. Now I've just tried a simple slide with only a few objects and no objects overlapping, and the delay is less than 500ms. That kind of a delay is practical. 

My slow slide has 6 layers. The base layer that I'm working with now has 16 objects. Nothing particularly complex.

What can I do to get over the delay?

Thank you.

Still trying to solve this. 

I've created a new slide with new objects in it. Normal speed selection. Then I copy any object over (a character) from my slow project and this new single slide slows up for selecting items. Check it out. First see a 1 sec. delay to select objects. Then delete the female character and see the selection speed up dramatically. 

I have this happening on several slides with longer delays and when it comes to moving objects there is no on screen feedback that matches my movement. So its a very pain-staking process of over-correcting & then correcting again.

Is there anything I can look for?

Thanks

Hey Paul and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing in your project file.

I see that you've reached out to our support team as well and Vevette is helping you out.

I did want to share that if you feel a particular course is corrupt or not behaving as expected, importing the slides into a new file is a good solution.
