Video Encoder 09 Publishing

Jun 03, 2011

Hi,

I am having trouble when I publish from Video Encoder '09. I would like to take an .avi I have produced from Camtasia and put it into an engage media player. When I bring the finished product into Video Encoder '09, it plays very clean and solid. However after I publish it, the video comes out blurry and pixilated. I have also tried to work with an .mp4 and I get the same results.

The size I am working with when I bring it in is large - 1280 x 720. I have used this size for other videos and it has worked fine. I pull it into Video Encoder, publish, then put it into the Engage/Media Player and then into my presentation.

For this particular project however, it is not working. When I publish it from Video Encoder, I have tried to use that same large size but it doesn't work because of the blurriness. I have also used 800 x 600 but still have problems. If I go any smaller than that, you can't see the words on the screen because they are much too small.

Can you please let me know what I am doing wrong or if there is a fix to this?

Thanks so much. I appreciate any help you can provide!!

Hi Denise,

I would create your video at no larger than the dimensions noted here:

If the Engage interaction is in an Articulate Presenter presentation, I would suggest locking the player to its optimal size which you can do in Player Templates -> Other here:
