Rescale project to add a background

I'm creating a demo of a web tool that needs several versions of the same tool with different branding. The branding runs down the left side and across the top. I created an image of the brands, and made the inside part (for the web tool) transparent.
I then created a demo in Captivate 7, and rescaled the project, placing the objects on the bottom right. Next, I imported the first branding image in and did Arrange>Send to Back. It looks pretty good, but I'd like to merge the branding with the background. However, when I do this, the image moves to align with the original captures-to the bottom right.
Any ideas why this happens? Any way to work around it, besides leaving the image as an image?
Thanks!

Project background doesn't align with stage after rescaling project

Hello,
I think I discovered a bug that may or may not have been resolved in later versions of Captivate. I'm using Captivate 5 (5.0.3.631) and as much as I'd like to have a newer version, my employer only has this version purchased right now. I'm posting this here because I realize this may not be a bug and there may be a workaround, in which case maybe I can learn something!
The issue appeared when I recently had to rescale my project to make room for a closed captions popup area at the bottom of the stage. (I don't want it to overlap previously positioned content.) Do do this, I rescaled my project to be 25 pixels taller than it was previously, and I selected the resize option to keep the already placed project contents aligned at the top left of the project rather than to scale everything to fit. Just as I hoped, this extended the stage out from the bottom by 25 pixels, much like resizing a canvas property in photoshop.
I then edited my project background images to match the new project stage dimensions in order to cover up the now visible 25-pixel-tall strip of uncovered stage. I imported the new background image onto my master slide in the same way I placed the original one, and this is where the problem appears. The taller image, configured as a "project background", will not align with the stage anymore. Instead, it's hanging off the top of the stage by 13 pixels and not reaching the bottom of the stage by 12 pixels (adding up to the 25 pixels I increased the project height). I purposefully placed the image as a project background rather than just dragging it on the stage of the master slide. My reasons for doing so are somewhat complicated, but mainly are because I need the master slide background to not interfere with the Z-order of items on the regular slides. Apparently a master slide image on the stage of a master slide will cover up items set to display for the rest of the project. Perhaps this is a bug, too?
Anyway, back to the problem at hand... I had everything working fine before I rescaled my project, but now the imported background image won't align with the stage. Because it's set as a project background, there is no way to reposition it on the stage... it just kind of lands where it lands. It appears that when I rescaled the project, Captivate remembered where the center of the "old" sized project was and didn't recalculate the center of the "new" rescaled project. So, when I place a larger image in the master slide (as a project background), it is centering it where the old, smaller project used to be... thus resulting in the larger image to not be centered on the stage.
I figured out a workaround in the mean time by placing the background image on the stage of the master slide (not as aproject background), and by moving more things to the master slide that I don't want to be covered up. This actually seems to be a more elegant solution that what I had previously, but I'd still like to know if what I'm experiencing is a bug or not.

Ok just found a workaround/solution.
(always happens right after I ask, for some reason).
Rescaled my project but kept the size and positions the "same and centered".
Then I replaced all my background images with bigger versions (previously I had cropped them at the right and bottom).
Now my backgrounds were all great, but all my objects were too low.
All I had to do was ctrl+A to select everything on a slide, and then change the Y value for the whole bunch to zero.
This magically placed all objects in their correct respective spots.
Hope that helps someone out!

How do I add multiple background music clips to iMovie

Trying to add multiple background music to iPhoto clips to make a vacation iMovie but when I add a music clip, it shoots right to beginning rather than stopping at the end of last clip added. I've pinned my background music to the first clips but want to add more background music but can't make it stop at the right photo clip. How do I place new background music at the right clip?

I don't use iPhoto (but read your post since it mentioned iMovie which I do use) - anyway, you're not talking about the application iMovie - you're talking about a movie.
So I am guessing, but it may work the same as it would with iMovie:
Can you select the audo clip and simply drag it to the spot you want it to start? Or, mocw the playhead to the spot where you want it to start then import it?
FYI, it would be helpful to indicate which Mac OS version you are running - it is not iOS 6 which is for iDevices.

How do I automatically add a background/watermark to a PDF?

Hi!
My name is mike and I am working on an invoice draft. The invoice is created within Microsoft Access and will be printed out on the Adobe PDF printer.
I'd like to automatically add a background with some graphical details (which is not possible with Access in my case) to the PDF when printed out to the specific PDF printer.
Now I have a background preset and I do have to select it every time and save the changes, which is quite time consuming when there are many invoices.
I appreciate your help and thank you in advance!
mike

Hi Srv-02,
You can create a custom action to add Watermark for all the generated pdfs.
You can also accomplish this via Javascript: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/watermarking-a-pdf-with-javascript

How to add a background music pause during video

If I have my video imported, and have added a song for the background music, how do I add a pause to the audio but keep the movie going. There is two pieces of audio, the song and the video audio. I want to pause the background music so that the video audio plays (someone is talking) and then the music comes back in after the talking is done.
Thanks a ton!

Have you looked at Document -> Add watermarks & background... ?
If you want to do it automatically, it's possible to set this up using the batch processing command, same thing, the command is "Add watermarks & background".
It's probably possible using JavaScript as well, but, there's really no need if the "add watermarks and background" works for you.

How do I add mpg background video behind a psd menu in Encore?

How do I add mpg background video behind a psd menu in Encore? The psd file is transparent and it still comes out as pitch black behind the menu. I'm inexperienced with these products so any help is greatly appreciated.

If you have done what Russ describes and it does not work...
Encore replaces the background layer with your motion video. So make sure you have a) a layer at the bottom (in Photoshop layer order) that is named "background," and b) no other full layer above that (for example, an image in another layer you've used instead of the original background layer).
Also keep in mind that setting transparency in Photoshop is overridden by various Encore processes.

How can I add new background on iweb?

Dear all,
somebody knows how can I add new backgroungs on iweb? and also how can I add my own themes?

You can add new backgrounds in the "page"..."layout" section of the "inspector"...no limit to what you can add. Remember to use low resolution pics (72 dpi vs 300 dpi) and think of the size necessary for a "wallpaper" on your desktop. ex. http://www.desertmoon.net/Coryhamilton/Home.html done with a Jumsoft theme (baseball dark) as a core.
The file used as a background on that site is located at http://www.desertmoon.net/Coryhamilton/Home_files/grunge.jpg
It's dimensions are 1200px by 797px and 284k in file size. I guess there might be a reason to have the width set for 1200px even though file sizes could benefit from a smaller dimension repeating graphic, but running the file through Photoshop or even Elements would let the owner "Save For Web" as a .jpg - medium quality and get the file size down to about 108k so that the page would load quite a bit faster.

i.e. so whilst your project is exporting in the background, you could start up on another project for example

thanks Tom - what do you think re whether it's worth getting Compressor just for the benefit of contining working on editing the next project? (i.e. noting you mentioned some performance issues)
Still might be worth it for me being able to some some level of editing in the next project even if the responsiveness is a bit slower?

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Can I add a background color for Fill & Sign?

Is there a way to add a background color to a fill and sign element?

Not at this time - you would like to have a text element that you add in Fill & Sign have a colored background behind the text the size of the blue border you see when you add it?
