Change or scale image or video file
The Emulator tab either scales or crops the content to fit on the device, according to the information in the device profile.
- Open the Emulator tab by doing one of the following:
-
From Adobe Device Central, select File > Open, navigate to an image file, and double-click the file.
-
In Photoshop or Illustrator, open a file. Select Save For Web And Devices and click Device Central.
-
In Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects, open a file. Select File > Export > Adobe Media Encoder. Select H.264 from the Format drop-down menu, check Open in Device Central, and click OK.
-
- On the Adobe Device Central Emulator tab, expand the Scaling panel.
- To test different scaling behaviors, change the following options as necessary:
- Use Original Size
- Emulates the image in original size.
- Stretch to Screen
- Resizes the content unproportionally to fit the addressable screen size.
- Fit Proportionally
- Resizes the content proportionally to fit the addressable screen. Select one of the buttons: Fit Width And Height, Fit Width, or Fit Height.
- Scale To
- Move the Scale To slider bar to the left (to scale down) or to the right (to scale up).
- Fullscreen Mode
-
(For video
content only) Emulates switching the device to Fullscreen mode.
For video playback, many mobile devices offer a full-screen setting
to enable devices with portrait orientation to better display video
files with a landscape orientation. Selecting the Fullscreen Mode
option rotates the video 90 degrees in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise
direction. (Direction information comes from the device profile
and might differ between devices.) To rotate the device, click the
Rotate buttons at the bottom of the Emulator tab.
Note: In Adobe Device Central, the Fullscreen option is only available for devices that support full-screen mode.
