Currently I use version PTE version 7.5 to make up presentations which will be displayed via a Canon Xeed projector. This has a resolution of 1400 x 1050. My presentations are mainly stills where I use Photoshop to re-size/crop images to the projector resolution. Increasingly I also like to include video clips. These are HD i.e. 1920 x 1080 in resolution so there needs to be some work done. At the moment I resize from the Video Converter which takes the resolution down to 1280 x 720. This has the obvious limitation that the video no longer fills the screen. So I have been looking at converting the video to the projector resolution beforehand. There are plenty that offer cropping facilities but few do what I want but I found one that did. Looking at the converted videos, Windows Explorer indicates that they are 1400 x 1050. However when I drop them into a PTE presentation they are no longer 1400 x 1050. They have changed to 1408 x 1056. As a result they do not quite fade smoothly from the still image - they have become slightly smaller on screen. (There's a small black margin on the RHS and below the video). This happens irrespective of whether the videos are optimised by PTE. Has anyone any experience of this problem or can comment? Perhaps I have missed something obvious. Many thanks in anticipation.
