Description BDF 2022-07-19 07:11:49 UTC
Description:
When a video is imported into a slide via drag & drop the video is always way too big and needs to be re-scaled every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag & Drop a file onto a slide (slide layout is empty)

Actual Results:
The video is too big (see attached image)

Expected Results:
The video should have the max. dimensions of the slide


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I use a 16:10 slide for a 16:10 beamer. I created the videos I want to show in the beamer's resolution of 1920x1200. Everytime when I drag a video into the slide I have to resize and center it.

I don't say that you shouldn't be able to enlarge a video if you want, but having a video that is too large for the slide should not be the default in my opinion.

video in Impress slide

The image shows the imported video.
The max slide width seems to be 28cm. The imported video size is 50.80 cm.

I agree, but added UX-team for discussion
Comment 3 Heiko Tietze 2023-03-14 12:52:25 UTC
Sure, let's scale down to 80 or 90% of the slide dimension if larger than 100%. If too small I'd keep it small.
