MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2007GIF's won't run in PowerPoint 2007
Gif's that work fine PowerPoint 2003 won't run in 2007. The gif will run until I save the PowerPoint file, then it won't run. It does not matter what file format I save the presentation in (ppt, pps, etc). Any ideas? Seems to work here Kim Maybe its a property in the gif. Send me the pres with a gif if you like .

John, I sent an email with the files attached -if you don't get it, let me know. The email has been kicked back once.

Mine was defaulted to compress on save which seems to be the issue. I am not even sure if PP2003 could be set to compress on save but if so, it was not set that way on mine. I agree with the image size – I did not make the original GIF’s and didn’t realize how big they were. I am going to resize all of them next week and then rebuild this presentation. > Seems to work here Kim > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > until I save the PowerPoint file, then it won't run.

Nope, in 2003 the option to compress or not was in your hands. There's a fix for this "improvement" here: PowerPoint 2007 makes pictures blurry, loses GIF animation http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00862.htm > I agree with the image size â I did not make the original GIFâs and didnât > realize how big they were.

Yes, I have tried pptx; ppt - every file type that I can use, I have tried. The exact same gif's work fine in PP2003 but not when saved in PP2007. Seems that PP2007 is changing the gif somehow during the save. Kim > What if you save it as a PPTX file? > > > Gif's that work fine PowerPoint 2003 won't run in 2007.

I've replied to Kim but for others interested The gif was huge (1Mb) and very high resolution it worked at first but with the default settings 2007 was compressing on save which seems to (whats the tech term?) 'screw it up'. Turning off compress on save works here.

'screw it up'. Turning off compress on save works here. And to back that up, I've repro'd the problem with a very small animated gif by setting the compress options to "Email". Once the image is over the needed number of pixels for the chosen compression setting, compression kicks in and blows away (oooh, more technospeak) the animations. [later] Have sent a report upstream. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
