[Xerte] Re: wink swf file resizing

[Julian Tenney]

What are you trying to show with that: the quality isn't very good, and when you resize it to something Xerte can display it's going to look awful I think: even at a big resolution on my monitor it looks bad. Is this a wink issue?

The problem in Xerte is because the wink movie loads up and changes the xerte screen resolution: it assumes it will be running on its own, rather than loaded into something else (like Xerte). Not sure I can do much about that I'm afraid. Has anyone else tried and got wink to work?

Hi,

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?

Many thanks for your help,
