Center
edges of the video preview device.

bands on the left and right sides of the image. This option is available only if you chose Widescreen (16:9) for the

distortion by cropping the left and right edges of the frame that fall outside the display edges of the video preview
device. This option is available only if you chose Standard (4:3) for the device aspect ratio.
Scales a 16:9 image to fit on a 4:3 display. Gray bands appear on the top and bottom of the image due the
Letterbox
difference in aspect ratio between the 16:9 image and the 4:3 display. This maintains the display aspect ratio without
cropping or distorting the image. This option is available only if you chose Standard (4:3) for the device aspect ratio.

Crop To 14:9/Letterbox
top and bottom of the image (when viewed on a 4:3 display) or on the left and right sides (when viewed on a 16:9
display). This maintains the display aspect ratio without distorting the image.

5
display:

With this option, a 16:9 image appears on a 4:3 display as letterbox, and a 4:3 image appears on a 16:9 display as
pillarbox.
Select the Apply Pixel Aspect Ratio To Preview check box to display the image using the document's (nonsquare)
6
pixel aspect ratio. Deselect this option to display the image as it appears on your computer (square pixel) monitor.
By default, the Apply Pixel Aspect Ratio To Preview check box is selected to maintain the image's pixel aspect ratio.
In general, you would deselect this option if the document's pixel aspect ratio is assumed to be square and you want
to view the image as it would appear on a computer (square pixel) monitor.
Click OK to export the document to the device display.

Save and export video and animations

Video and animation export formats
You can save animations as GIFs for viewing on the web.
In Photoshop Extended, videos and animations can be saved as QuickTime movies or PSD files. If you're not
rendering your work to video, then saving the file as PSD is best because it preserves the edits and saves the file in a
format that's supported by Adobe digital video applications and many motion picture editing applications.
For a video on working with Image Sequences, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0026.
Increases or decreases the image height and width proportionally to fit in the video frame.
