Which powerpoint animations are the most/least CPU intensive?
Are there certain animations that use more CPU? Does it use less CPU if set
on fast vs slow speed? These are being rendered to flash. Any responses or thoughts on this would be appreciated. I can't seem to find any info on this topic anywhere.

Alanna,
I'd guess the 'wipe' animation is probably the least cpu intensive. Anything that is 'by letter' is quite demanding - as are 'fades' and 'dissolves' Cheers TAJ Simmons Microsoft Powerpoint MVP http://www.awesomebackgrounds.com awesome - powerpoint templates, powerpoint backgrounds, free samples, ppt tutorials...

Which powerpoint animations are the most/least CPU intensive?
When go figure that 98% of my animations are fades after taking the advice
of trying to keep the presentation look simple and more professional! I do have some wipes and will try to utilize them more when possible. I've also had to go back and see where I can use appear/disappear without it really affecting the visual quality. Fortunately I have not used any dissolved because Articulate Software that I use does not support it. "TAJ Simmons" wrote in message ...

Hi Alanna
I use (well ok, have used once) ispringpro and it supports fades. Good thing too as it's my animation of choice.... I can't guarantee it will work for you and I've not used anything else so can't compare it to anything but it might be worth a look: http://www.ispringsolutions.com/ Lucy -- Lucy Thomson PowerPoint MVP MOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au "Alanna" wrote in message ...

Alanna,
after taking the advice of trying to keep the presentation look simple and more professional! Fades are simple and professional (to look at) - but I'd imagine they do utilize the CPU more than a simple wipe. TAJ

What a drag!
Would a faster fade use less CPU than a slower fade? "TAJ Simmons" wrote in message ... Alanna, after taking the advice of trying to keep the presentation look simple and more professional!

Lucy - I use Articulate for a conversion program and delivery for my online
training. Articulate supports fades and almost all the animations. The problem is though that the flash player uses alot of CPU to render them and it sometimes paralyzes the user's computer. Unfortunately I only found this out after building comprehesive courses and publishing them. Now I am trying to find ways to cut down my file sizes and use less CPU resources without compromizing quality as much. "Lucy Thomson" wrote in message ...

In that case, you might ask the Articulate folks what *they* recommend, as
it sounds like the CPU resources issue is on the Flash end, not necessarily the PPT end. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx "Alanna" wrote in message ...

Allana, if this is a problem for your end users running flash, its not
really a PPT issue. Talk to articulate and ask what they recommend.

Sorry, mis-understood the question :-)
