Timeline preview is SLOW and jumpy

Has anyone experienced the slow timeline preview when using the play button in the timeline pane (bottom left)?  I have like 4 objects in my slide and it takes 5 seconds for the preview to play.

Hi All,

 

if I get it right, your main complaint is that previewing in SL2 awfully slow is. I agree, I have the same experience.

 

Let me point out another thing though about SL2 that drives me crazy as well: realtime preview does not work! If I place the playhead at e.g.15 s on the timeline, why do I still see objects which should only appear between 5-10s? With this it is almost impossible to edit precisely. I always need to preview the slide a thousand times, come back and adjust and preview again.

 

With Camtasia Studio, my other main tool, I edit the same amount of objects in 10% of the time I need with SL2, there the preview only shows that is present on the screen in the moment where the playhead is.

 

Honestly, my team is considering to move to another tool... It makes me sad that in Articulate 360 this issue remained.
