Resize projects

You can resize Adobe Captivate projects, even after you have recorded them. Resizing can save you from having to
rerecord an entire project. For example, suppose you record your project at a width of 640 and height of 480, but then
decided you need a slightly smaller or larger size.
Resizing a project cannot be "undone" with a toolbar button or key combination such as Control+Z.
Resizing a project numerous times can result in quality deterioration. As far as possible, try to resize a project only
once.
Resize a project
1 In an open project, select Modify > Rescale Project.
2 Under Size, enter an exact custom size in pixels in the Width and Height text boxes (minimum size 100 x 100).
Alternatively, enter a percentage for width and height, with the current size being 100%. (For example, to make the
project slightly bigger, enter 110%; to make the project much smaller, enter 50%.) You can also select the Preset Size
option and choose a commonly used size, such as 640 x 480, from the pop-up menu.
If you want, select the Maintain Aspect Ratio option, which maintains the height and width proportions when the
image is resized. This option ensures that the image is displayed accurately and is not distorted.
If you want to choose from a standard set of sizes, select Preset Size, and choose from the options.

project of 90 x 80. You can select any background color and choose a position for the project on the background,
such as center or upper right.
