Character state change flashes
Several time line cue points trigger character state change, i.e. point up, down, etc. Looks good in preview but when published there is a momentary white, empty flash between states. Same thing wh...
I have created a slide for use as a lightbox. (Originally I put this as a layer, but the when I encountered this character rendering problem, I rebuilt as a stand alone slide). It is a conversation between to characters and there are 4 states for each character triggered state changes by cure points. 2 issues:
1.) When previewing the silde with the play button in the timeline, one charater does not show up at all , and the other does not change states.
2.) when preview in SL360, or published and viewed on Articuylate online, or Tempshare, the clide locks with the spinning loading icon and you connot get farther.
FYI as a slide layer I had the same problems, in addition the layer timeline would start by itself, I had to hit the play button in the preview player.
What is going on? This is my first project in 360 (been using SL1 and SL2 for many many years.) I have a deqadline to meet for my customer and this is there request for the audio.
Hi Mark. These clues are telling me that there is some corruption on the light box slide. I had the same experience, with "Margie" not showing up with the playback button, and endless loading when previewing the slide. When I cut that character from the slide and attempted to preview, the slide loaded and began playing the conversation. I saw Mike change states, although his second part of conversation looked like it didn't sync up with his state change.
It's nearly impossible to figure out the source of corruption, but we have some tips that help protect your files from the risk. Saving to your local C: drive and closing Storyline daily are two of the easiest ways to protect your files.
Try cutting out the Margie character and re-inserting her. Rebuild her triggers from scratch as well. Let me know if that works for you!
