Why does my project hesitate for a second before moving on to the next slide?

[ryan schar]

Hello,

I have a problem on the first slide on my project.  When I press a button to move to the next slide, the audio for the second slide comes immediately as it should, but the project hesitates for about a full second before it advances on to the second slide.  This happens only with my first slide...

Any ideas?

Sounds like there might be something heavy on that second slide that needs to load.  Any graphics or widgets or interactions there?  Have you checked the weight?

Hi Rod,

I think that was it. I deleted my largest image, and I don't have the

problem anymore.

Perhaps you didn't add the image at only 100% of it's intended display size.  You can drag a 4000 x 2000 pixel image into an 800 x 600 Captivate project and it will be displayed at only the smaller size even though in the background it's costing you several megabytes for no added benefit.  Always resize your images in Photoshop or some other graphics editor BEFORE you insert them.

Good tip! Yea the photo was taken with my Nexus 5 and was huge - probably

5x bigger than my slide. I shrunk it within Captivate. Whoops. Thanks

again. : )
