I have a problem with the alignment of flash videos in my course. They align with the movie screen look that I'm using in PowerPoint but when I preview or publish, the video is not aligned with the screen. Please see the attached picture. What is causing this to happen?
Thanks for the screenshot. What size is your video? If it complies but still shifts, I'd recommend submitting this to our support staff. They'll be happy to take a closer look and work with you to resolve it. Thanks!
The video size is 640x480 but I had to reduce the viewing size. I can make it work but I have to offset the video in PowerPoint. Not a big deal but I thought maybe I was doing something wrong. I've not had a problem doing this before.
It looks like you sent us just a screenshot. I'm guessing you simply need to recreate the video at the exact size you want to use and then reinsert it and republish. I'm guessing that would solve your issue. If it doesn't, feel free to send us your files and we'd be happy to take a closer look:
Justin, Cleo sent me a response suggesting that I resize the video at conversion and not when it is in the slide. While I understand this, I've seen it done like this in Screenr's and I've done it myself without a problem. However, I used Photoshop this time, and in the past I used Articulate Video Encoder. I think I will produce the video in as AVI or MP4 and import and convert in Video Encoder. I'm not really sure I can size the video at production to accurately fit dimensions of the screen in my slide.

Glad you found a way to make it work, Marty. Still unusual, though...
I did submit the problem to support.
Cool, looks like we got it. Gonna keep a close eye on this one. Thanks!
