Animations and Slide Transitions in OOo Impress

[eeejokesno]

Hey all,
I'm running OpenOffice.org 2.4 in Ubuntu 8.04, and when I make a presentation in Impress, any animation or slide transition I use is rendered choppy in my presentation.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks

Don't use animations or transitions, or stick to the very simplest ones. Seriously; that's about the only solution. Impress simply has terrible graphics performance, especially on Linux, and especially on Linux that's running non-accelerated graphics (which is most of the freely-distributed graphics drivers).

You can try running a proprietary driver if there's one available for your graphics card--that should help, but how much, I don't know.

Find out which graphics card you have. There's a good chance it's either ATI or NVidia. Then use a guide such as this to install the driver.

I have the binary driver for my Nvidia card installed. All other accelerated graphis work great. Just Impress is choppy

Are one of these your problem?
