MP4 Video inserted as Flash Movie is cropping video a bit
Feb 10, 2014
Good afternoon,
I am using Presenter 09. I have recorded webinars (audio and visual) in WebEx. WebEx produces the recordings as an ARF file. I have converted the ARF file into an MP4 format. Upon viewing the MP4, all looks good. When I import it using the Flash Movie feature and both preview and publish it, the initially it looks good but when the we transition from the powerpoint slide into and a system demonstration - the left and right is cropped about a half inch. I've tried messing with the presentation template options but haven't been able to find a setting that fixes this. My thinking is that maybe the entire video is cropped but we can't initially tell because of the expanse of border on the powerpoint and when we move to the system demonstration and the furthest left tab is cropped it is much more obvious. Any ideas?

Hi Christina and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!
Can you explain where you are uploading the presentation? You mentioned that you 'transition from the powerpoint slide into and a system demonstration', but I'm not quite sure what that means.
Be sure that you are publishing and sharing according to this document
My apologies. The Articulate file is being loaded into our LMS (Cornerstone). The actual video recording being imported is of a webinar where a powerpoint is used to kick it off and then the facilitator begins demonstrating step by step actions in a technical system. When the video gets to the technical system demonstration it is noticeable that there is a half inch of so missing on the left and right borders within the viewing pane.
Hi Christina! Thank you for the additional details. Do you see this same behavior when you upload and test your content in SCORM Cloud? I'm curious if the issue is limited to your LMS.
Following this same discussion.... we are inserting a Camtasia MP4 into our module but when we publish their is no sound with the video. Is it a setting issue?
Hi Doug!
I'm not personally familiar with this process, but I can point you to a couple of threads that may help you drill down to what may be happening. Check out the threads here and here to see if they may assist.
