Hi,

I have noticed a few second delay when calling up scenes with photos sometimes. Is there any way to prevent this? are there any preferred photo file type and or size?

Hi Don,

Are the photos being populated using datalinq? also what size are the images? Extremely high resolution images can have an impact on recall times since we have to cache these in memory before play out. File type shouldn't matter unless you are using really large PSDs, but TGA, PNG, JPEG, TIFF should all be no problem.

Thanks for the speedy response. No, the files are being populated locally from the hard drive. The photos are at different resolutions, but they are usually large full screen .jpg photos with a frame around them. Is there a preferred photo resolution?

Don, there isn't a specific "preferred" resolution but for full screen images there is generally no need to go beyond 1920x1080 however you should be able to go comfortably beyond that. If the images are lets say, 4K resolution I would think that's a bit much and could cause some issues.

ok, yeah they are never larger than 1920x1080, usually smaller. Some photos just load slower than others, seems to be at random. Maybe this is just normal operation?

Don, it should be pretty quick any fluctuation in load time shouldn't even be noticeable. Are these images on local drives or on a network share somewhere?

I've tried calling up photos both locally and from a network drive. Some thing. Its not a very long delay, maybe a 2-3 seconds at the most. But some have practically no delay. I didn't know if it was user error or just a system delay.

is there any way to increase the cache size in expression?
