I'm just wondering if there are any known issues with Storyline running ridiculously slow? I was just typing into a text field, and it was producing my text at the rate of one letter per second. When I went into my task manager, Storyline was using 49% of my CPU.
I don't have a slow computer, and I have over 2gig of ram. There is nothing else running on my computer other than a notepad file and Outlook.
I've just tried cutting the text and pasting it into a new text box, and this appears to have sped it up a bit. I think it may be something to do with the fact that the content was imported from PowerPoint.
Hi Chris, I have seen this when using lots of high quality images, sometimes closing and reopening helps. Sometimes it doesnt. I worked on a slide yesterday that was a nightmare and the only reason I can think was that it had lots of pngs on the slide
I had the same issue. I resized my all my images which significantly improved the speed. Also, running multiple programs (video/audio editing software) also reduces performance.
Ok, so I know this is an old thread and there seems to be consensus on image file size as the culprit. I just wanted to also chime in. I just had the same problem on a project. Everything, including selecting images/text was sluggish. I do have a lot of images so I went back and resized them all and it's working like a charm.
