Rescaling a project

This chapter opened with a discussion on choosing the right size for the project. This discussion led to four possible approaches to manage the size difference between the application to capture and the movie to produce.

The first approach was to shoot big and then downsize. The first step of this approach was done when you used a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels to shoot your very first movie. You will now take care of the second step: resizing the movie to 800 x 600 pixels.

Note

Remember that resizing a project is a one-way operation that always results in data and quality loss. If another solution that does not require resizing the project is available, go for it! If a resize operation cannot be avoided, always keep a backup copy of your project at its original size.

  1. In Captivate, open the chapter02/encoderDemo_1024.cptx file.

    Note

    If you did not successfully save this file earlier in this chapter, you can use the one saved in the chapter02/final folder.

    If you have a problem while doing this exercise, refer to the Chapter02/final/encoderDemo_800.cptx file of your exercises folder.

  2. Navigate to the File | Save As menu item to save the file as Chapter02/encoderDemo_800.cptx.
  3. When the project is saved, navigate to the Modify | Rescale Project menu item.

    The Rescale Project window opens. This window is divided into three parts. The top part allows you to define the new size of the project. It is the only part available at the moment:

  4. Make sure the Maintain Aspect Ration box is selected.
  5. Reduce the Width value of the project from 1024 to 800 pixels. The new Height value of 600 pixels should be calculated automatically.

    As the new size is smaller than the original size, the lower right-hand part of the box becomes available. It is titled: If new size is smaller. The lower left-hand part of the box is still inactive. It would activate if the new size of the project were larger than the original size:

  6. Take some time to review the available options, but leave the default unchanged. When ready, click on Finish.
  7. A dialog box informs you that resizing a project cannot be undone. Click on OK to confirm you want to resize the project anyway.
  8. Captivate resizes each slide, one by one.
  9. Save the file when the resize process is complete.

Although Captivate does a great job resizing all the objects on the slides, I still recommend going though each slide to ensure the size conversion was successful for every object on every slide.
