Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 77860
Text animations in Impress run terrible
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:55:54 UTC
I have text set to magnify in and when I run the slideshow, the text freezes and runs really slow. I cant use the program because no matter what animation I put in, it freezes and runs slow. It's not my computer cause I'm running a Dual Core 2.8 Gz with a gig of ram. Everything else on it runs fast. PowerPoint, with everthing set up the same, does not have this problem.
@benp1990: Could you please attach a sample documnt? Which graphical card do you use? Is it an ATI card? @thb: It looks like it is the ATI issue.
The card is an "Intel 82945G Express". Upon further testing it seems to be working now, however still a little unsmooth. I also tried it on an "ATI RAGE Mobility-P" (with WinXP). It runs pretty choppy on that. I also tried it on a Linux PC with an "S3 Savage" video card. The animations ran OK but I had some problems with the text color.

Strange... it runs perfectly in my machine (Win XP, OO 2.2, Intel Mobile 945GM Chipset Express graphics).
well, stock OOo renders almost everything in software. so, having larger amounts of shapes to transform tends to be slow. we plan to opensource a DirectX-based implementation for the slideshow in one of the next versions.
Set to new and change the target
Rendering with the directX canvas works much better but in my mind also not good enough. If possible we should increase the rendering speed. Please have a look.
