Hi,

There seems to be a number of changes to the TOC in cp6 32 bit. Can anyone confirm whether they are having the same issues ?

a/ The video space size is now 4 pixels narrower. It was 196 by 144

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/830658

and it now appears to be 192 * 144 according to the help. .  We want to know whether this is right as it means we have re-encode videos. 

b/ images now have a border when placed in the TOC. We have a logo with a white background on a white stage so it stand out. There doesn't seem to be an option to turn borders off

Hi Paul,

In Cp6, There are no changes in the TOC Video size. It is (192 X 144) similar to Cp5.5.  As you pointed out it is wrongly documented in ‘Help’ as (196 X 144). Thanks for pointing out the issue. We will update the documentation with the correct values.

Thanks,

Nimmy Sukumaran.

Hi,

The video space size and the border has definitely in 5.5 was also 196.

Can you confirm the height as well

Could you advise the border on the images in TOC information as this makes adobae captivate causes look poor as Borderless images are the norm in graphic design.

1. video size

The published size is 192 in 5.5 and 6

It used to squash it in 5.5, but it now gives an error message and then squashes it

In 5.5 in section non interactive objects and media - > using slide video -> best practices to use slide video effectively it is listed as

"Video dimensions:

  • Ensure that the video object dimension is the same as that of the original video for optimal quality.
  • Do not change the aspect ratio of the video even if you cannot maintain equal dimensions for the video object and original video. Otherwise, the video loses quality.
  • Keep the dimensions of a video that you want to include in the TOC as: Height 144 and Width 196."

In 6 you get an error message saying it should be  192 * 144

This blog also gives the same number

These forum answers also give the same answer

This adobe seminar by Dr Singh also gave the same answer according to my notes ( but its been deleted)

order when placed in the TOC. We have a logo with a white background on a white stage so it stand out. There doesn't seem to be an option to turn borders off

2. border around image in the TOC

We have tried in the old version. None of them had a border around the image in the TOC in 5.5

Hi,

Should I raise these 2 issues as bugs with Adobe or is it working for everyone else ?

Hi Paul

Personally, I'd say that anything you find that doesn't work as you would expect it to should be reported to Adobe as a bug.

Cheers... Rick
