The Alignment panel (bitmap and video)



The Alignment panel is displayed only when you emulate an image or video file in Adobe Device Central. Alignment sets the position of an image or video file when it appears on a mobile device. Alignment can be important for an image or video file that does not fill the addressable screen size.

Change image or video alignment

  1. Open the Emulator tab by doing one of the following:

    • From 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 list, check Open in Device Central, and click OK.

  2. On the Device Central Emulator tab, expand the Alignment panel.

  3. Click a horizontal and a vertical alignment button.

    Note: Scaling and alignment changes are saved until a device is reloaded. Whenever you reload a device (by double-clicking it), the device returns to the default alignment and scaling settings defined in the profile.
