In our original testing using Wink we had the size problems
mentioned by Johnathan below which was probably due to using the the
preloader. As a result we ditched the preloader but also the Wink
native controller and imported using Xerte SWF with the Xerte swf
controller. It seems to work fine and preserves the xerte look and
feel.<br>
If you want audio with the screen capture I suggest you look at
microsoft expression encoder ( 10 minute limit in free version)
output to WMV then convert in format factory to FLV (Wink is very
time consuming as you must add audio a frame at a time). The FLV is
similar in size to the wink SWF and should give you as good a
quality as the original screen particularly if you capture only a
portion of the screen equal in size to what Xerte will display.
Screen shot attached with full screen capture shrunk to fit in Xerte

<div>The page in the PageTemplates project wide template that
displays swf files should display wink files as does the Text
Flash SWF Page Wizard</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are a number of factors that you need to keep in mind
when you create your wink video file, the following is from the
Page Wizard documentation</div>
<div><br>
For Wink files use the following settings<br>
Wink: framerate 24; Output to SWF; Preloader = No; Add Control
Bar = Yes; max project dimensions 740 x 460.<br>
Xerte: Add movie size parameter e.g.<br>
“740,460”<br>
Add Interactivity parameter = Native SWF<br>
Note: including a pre-loader in the wink render settings will
cause size problems, with its display in Xerte.<br>

<div>Hopefully this will resolve your wink problems.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 108pt;">Hi, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 108pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 108pt;">I’m
trying to add a screen capture video to my learning
object but don’t currently have a copy of captivate.
I can’t use jing either because I need to be able to
edit the video. I’ve found a free tool, wink, that I
can use, but when I try to add a captivate movie
made using wink in XOT (or in the standalone version
of xerte), it seems to resize the video and zooms in
on a small part of the screen. The resolution of the
video is 685x514. I’ve tried to render the video in
lots of different sizes but this doesn’t seem to
make a difference. When I open it as a page wizard
in xerte, there doesn’t seem to be any code to
resize the video that I can fiddle with. Am I best
off just getting a copy of captivate?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 108pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 108pt;">Many
thanks for your help,</p>
