MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / May 2008Which 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... > Are there certain animations that use more CPU?

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. > Alanna, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> would be appreciated.

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  SignatureLucy Thomson PowerPoint MVP MOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au > 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!

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. > Hi Alanna > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >>>> would be appreciated.

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.

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? > Alanna, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > TAJ 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.
