I just purchased the 2018 Photostory Deluxe, when I try to add effects and transitions the story jumps its not seamless. It looked like if it were lagging. Is this a known problem or?

I am running on a windows 10 platform, there are only images no video. The transitions like a fade with the effect of speed. It’s a preview but in the large preview window.

What is on the timeline - images, video or both? Images only
Which effects and transitions are causing the issue? Creating through the template of Photostory.
. . . . the story jumps its not seamless . . .
Is this when playing back the timeline watching the Preview monitor? Both
A screen shot of the Program Settings, Display tab would also help. I'm sorry could you be more clear on what program setting display tab your looking for?
Hi
We do need your computer specification information or the make/model.
. . . . A screen shot of the Program Settings, Display tab . . . .
Press the Y key and in the Program settings dialog, select the Display tab shown below,and take a screenshot of this.

I'm a recent purchaser of Photostory Deluxe, too. I think I had the same issue in my first attempts at a slideshow. After clicking the playback button and after the transition, a new picture would show and almost immediately jumpstart to whichever movement was established by the template. The effect was as if a small portion of the "movie" was extracted. I've started, deleted and restarted the process through the templates so many times trying to learn how to modify the template produced slideshows, that I don't currently see this effect. I have no idea how I eliminated it, if such really happened.
Michelle:
I received an email that you posted that my description was also your problem. I think I fixed it by going to Storybook mode. Click on a transition. I select "Random transitions", mainly so I don't have to assign one to each transition. That seems to eliminate the skip jump.
Hope that helps for you.
Are we the only two experiencing this? My "fix" was not generally successful. Are the few that answers nice co-users, or does Magix monitor these forums? The user's manual is very limited in usefulness.

Hi
Without further information on your computer specification and the program settings asked for it is difficult to advise what the issue is.
Most 'lag' issues playing back the timeline are a result of the computer specification being below the minimum recommended for the software, or hardware acceleration is not available.

If anyone is still interested in this topic, I have now published two videos on YouTube. One is 5 minutes, the other 1 hour & 13 minutes. It appears to me that whatever we are seeing in the development stage (the short burst as if a short segment of the video is missing) is not a part of the final exported slideshow. I am most pleased with the exported slideshow.
Many thanks for your update to this thread. I'm delighted to read that the final export was successful.
As John EB suggested/hinted in his latest post to this thread, problems experienced when playing the "video" on the timeline often disappear in the exported version.
