I need help replacing event video and maintaining dimensions of the video being replaced. Even with dimensions locked the video that replaces it get's placed on the stage at 100% of it's size (at least it's in the correct position.) Any solutions are greatly appreciated.

cheers,

Brian

You could do this from the Library. Find the video file in your library and double click on the file. This will open the properties for the video. You can import a replacement and it will update the video in all locations in your project. It should maintain the size.

Thank you Paul! This worked if the size and position was locked. I appreciate the help.

Resize the video before insertion? You can use the Adobe Media Encoder which is packaged with Captivate.

That would diminish the video quality for full screen viewing so not an option. This works for images so there has to be a way for video too, right?

When you add a video object, regardless of whether you are using Slide Video or Event Video, you can use the selection handles on your video to resize the initial appearance. Hold down your shift key while resizing so as to maintain the aspect ratio.
