Captivate 2019 entrance effect jump/stutter

I'm using Captivate 2019 and stock entrance effects. I've got a several default fly ins and a several custom motion paths. In both cases, they will randomly not work smoothly. When they don't work, what it seems to do is flash the object in its destination location for a fraction of a second as the animation effect starts to play. It does not ever happen reliably on the same object/effect.

    Were you going for VH1 Pop-Up Video style? Because I had an idea to do something like that, and what you're describing sounds similar. I didn't go with that for the project since I ran out of time. But I'm retaining that idea for the future.

    There were a few different things I was doing. But you could say that part of it did look sort of like that. There was another part where I was making some papers fly out of a folder (zoom and custom path) that really looked bad with this flicker problem. The shared action discussed above did fix it though. Just REALLY a pain.

    Use a Fade in transition in combination with the Effect to avoid the flickering.

    Ooh! That's a good idea! Not really a fix, but sounds like a decent work around!

    I'll give that a try and let you know how that works out.
