    Do you have another object on the slide, such as a button, click box, or smart shape turned into a button?

    I suspect you have a button on that slide, which is set to pause at 1.5 seconds by default. Anything that is on your timeline after that point will not appear when previewing or publishing, because the project will pause at 1.5 seconds.

    Welcome to the forum,

    It helps if you mention the exact version, smart shapes are available in 6.0.0.199, 6.0.1.240, 6.1.319 and 7.

    Try to post a screenshot of the timeline of the slide, using the small still camera icon available in the editor (browser version of the forums). With Elakat I suspect that you have a pausing point, caused by an interactive object, at 1.5sec.
