custom animation 2004

[TROY ALLEN]

I am using a G4 Macintosh with OSX Panther 10.3.8. with a 1.2 ghz processor.
Am using custom animation extensively. Specifically slow dissolves (up to
7 seconds) and long fades. Several images will be on one slide and enter at
different times. What I am noticing is that it is a bit bumpy. As if my
processor can't keep up with my request. It shouldn/t be so. I'm beginnig
to think that some of these animation options are not quite up to speed yet.
Is there anything I can do? Optimizing by use of certain files etc...? The
picture files are JPEG and are anywhere between 2 and 10 mb. I have
photoshop if changes in formatiing seem like a good idea. I AM USING
POWERPOINT FOR MACINTOSH 11.0
THANKS TROY ALLEN

I am not a Mac person but I can tell you a 10 Meg image is going to choke
PPT regardless of what it is running on. Reduce the resolution before
inserting the images into PPT.

Try changing the format to TIFF. I had a big improvement on the MAC when I
changed from jpg to tiff.
