Interactive Presentation Mode's smooth slide transition animations not working


Hello, since yesterday suddenly, in presentation mode, the presentation stopped animating from one frame to another and now displays one frame at a time. Now, anything outside the frame appears black in contrast to the day before when the whiteboard was visible.

There are two settings to ensure they are disabled:

 

And while in presentation mode:

 

With both of those off/disabled, you should be back to the animated-style transition between frames, and no back background.

@Yiorgos Molvalis - This happened to me too. The first thing I checked was to make sure Reduce motion was disabled, which it was. A while later, Interactive Presentation Mode animations were working as expected.

Here is where to find the Reduce motion setting, so you can check if yours is enabled:

For me it still does not animate and I have the reduce motion setting off. What more to try?

@Arian - While in presentation mode, look for this option and disable it:

Is it possible to get the movement/slide animation between frames to happen while in “Present” mode? The only way I seem to get that effect between frames is if I click on the frame names in the left panel, while in edit mode.

This issue might be due to compatibility or settings. Ensure your software is up to date, and check if your device meets the presentation software's requirements. Verify that slide transition settings are set to "smooth" or an appropriate animation option. Additionally, consider your hardware's capabilities and close any background applications that might affect performance. If the problem persists, reach out to the software's support for troubleshooting assistance.


The problem is back again, presentation mode does not animate. 

I have both dark mode and reduced motion disabled. 

Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Arian, have very similar experience. It looks like the motion is there but much faster than before which looks almost like no motion at all. It’s a pitty, the slow motion transition (prezi like) was a very nice, soft presentation way. Please bring it back

BTW, this slow motion transition is there but not in the presentation mode but when you manually select frames in open frames side window. It looks like it is easy to restore this feature
