Fullscreen videos?
I was wondering, is it possible to get fullscreenvideos?
I got this engage document which got several videos that is gonna be showing but the size of the window is so small that you cant really read any of the text in the video, I've tried the Media Tour but there i run into another problem, its limited to i think it was 20 videos and require it to show more, so i tried the FAQ, but there the videoes was even smaller. And from all i could see there is no fullscreen mode available? atleast then the videos might be close to the original size and readable |

Hi Anarcon,
There is no inbuilt Full Screen feature with Engage. With the Flash Player 9 upwards, you can play a little and have full screen movies play, ( see Flash 9 and Full Screen in Articulate? ) but it is definitely not supported. At the end of this article, you find the maximum sizes for inserted media files in each of the interactions. This example is from the FAQ interaction. How large in pixels did you want the movies to be? Regards

Re: Fullscreen videos?
the sourcefile is 768x576 and anything much less than this makes it to unclear to read and you only see the mousepointer move from a area to another without knowing what the heck it did there, and since i got so many i want to show in one file the FAQ is the only solution as far as i know, but the imagesize there is jsut too small, i tihnk the actual view size is like 420x320. Any sort of solution would be most appriciated

Re: Fullscreen videos?
One potential downside to large sized videos--the effect on the network if you have users in regions with poor networks, especially if the video is not short (over 30-60 seconds). All inserted videos load realtime and some users may be waiting. In our organization, if we delivered videos that size, we'd get skewered by our IT group. So instead, we'd do something in Camtasia with a smaller region and then have the area travel as we move the mouse. YMMV . . .

Re: Fullscreen videos?
Well the videoes is jsut a summmary for the ones spread throughout the teaching tutorial, so its just for telling where you can find it and what thread it was about.
Ofc the ideal situation would be if i could hotlink directly to the that thread, havent found any great idea how to solve that one yet |

When video is produced, the producers and editors know it's going to be shown. If it's produced, say on DVD for viewing on a TV screen, the composition (including titles) takes that into account. By the same token, if the intended use is to view over the Internet, different production standards come into play to accommodate bandwidth considerations and the size of the viewing area.. In your case, I'd guess that the video was produced for TV rather than online viewing. If the production company still has the source files, you might be able to get them to increase the size of the titles... or eliminate them altogether (which would allow you to do titling on the Presenter page rather than in the video.
