There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to what would display and what wouldn’t. One image (photo) would show up fine, then the next four or so, or even more – saved in exactly the same 800-pixel-wide JPEG format as all the rest - would not.
In my frustration I didn’t think to actually read the notice. Not white, as I read from other commenters, but black, with a tiny two- or three-line notice in the center. At least 80% of all images came up blank. Then HORROR – the first slide had the title, but the photo behind was gone.

At the venue, I put the disc in a fairly new PC notebook loaded with PPT, which was hooked up to the projector.

Played the disc on my Mac to double-check that all was well. As usual, no animations or videos.īurned the PPT show to a disc. What was loaded were therefore all simple, common JPEGs – no image was any different “kind” from another. jpg - but each image was methodically reduced in size as mentioned, one at a time, by hand, and resaved as a JPEG before dragging/dropping. As before, I used a variety of images – some. 247 images, carefully crafted title and credits over photographs at the beginning and end. Trusting that everything would sail along smoothly as always, I labored for days on a new show to be presented to a large audience last Saturday. And still the shows are over 400 MB and take a long time to open.Ĭreated on my Mac, burning a CD, they’ve always played fine on a PC laptop. I reduce all pics to 800-1000 pixels wide, the bare minimum, it seems, for any clarity in PPT. I learned long ago to greatly reduce the size of images before dragging and dropping into PowerPoint. The shows can easily be over 400 MB and take a loooong time to open, so I haven’t dared try to add video on top of that. I talk for 90-120 minutes, and often have over 200 images. I have never tried loading video clips or doing any other fancy stuff aside from a simple title at the beginning and credits at the end (just text, no animations of any kind). And I’ve done several others in the past, all of which displayed all images using a PC laptop with no problem. Only last spring (April 2012) I created two very large and long PowerPoint presentations that played fine on a PC at the venue. I know it’s antique, but even though I’ve upgraded my OS several times since then (I’m now on OS 10.6.8), it has copied over into my newer systems and continued to serve me just fine. I have “PowerPoint X for Mac”, the latest copyright given being 2001. I could spend days combing through the hundreds and hundreds of posts and never find my problem addressed, so forgive me - I’m posting a new question. I’ve searched everywhere and cannot find a solution to my particular PowerPoint problem – blank (black) slides appearing when played on a PC notebook. Mac to PC PowerPoint issue - blank/black slides.
