Sorry, Steve -- I was not clear: The example URL that I offered is to a file
that *does* work. It is below the arctic threshold. It works on every system
I have been able to test it on. But if you were to zoom way out on the
slide, and size the photo up in just-a-smidge increments, you'll surely go
arctic before long.
Blueblind in this case rather than snowblind, but yeah, now we're cookin'.
It's as though the image were clipped to some sort of viewport before being
animated so once the "visible, unclipped" portion moves past, we're staring at
the b/g.
And given the filesize of that PPT (and some other things I tried) I'm pretty
sure we can rule out the amount of image data (ie, number of pixels) as a
factor.
You're right, of course, about the advice to go with just 768 on E/W pans.
Trouble is, I never know how I'm going to pan the thing until I have it on
screen. So I start as big as I can during the creative process...
And given the above, machts nichts anyhow.
