Storyline 2 performance

Hi Ant,

I'm sure you've already checked the system requirements here and you may want to check into any other programs or applications that are open or running in the background and pulling from the available memory for Storyline. 

Did you notice an increase in the slow down after installing the fonts?

Yes, it does seem to be a bit slower since I've installed around 12 new fonts

Thanks

Hi Ant, 

Are they all fonts that are accessible within Storyline? I can't imagine that 12 font files would cause such a performance degradation. Have you tried to repair Storyline since noticing the change? 

Yes they are all accessible. I will try a repair and see how that goes

Too many fonts can slow down your system not sure 12 more is enough but may be a tipping point. May be a corrupted font

Using high quality PNGs can slow down storyline

Hi Phil - what photo file format does Articulate recommend?  And - I'm curious if say,  a jpeg and png are the same file size, does the png slow Articulate more than the jpeg?

(My current project has one slide with 11 layers, probably about 70 photos altogether, and it's taking almost 5 seconds just to select a picture.  Most of them are jpegs actually, but there are some pngs in the bunch.)

Thanks for any guidance you can provide -

Anne

I generally use pngs but find on layers that high quality pngs can slow things down

Hi Anne,

You can also see here the different options we support in terms of adding images.
