Important

The section template you are using will influence the image size at which you choose to record. If you use one of the large video section templates (Large Video on Right or Large Video on Left), you should record your video at 320x240. However, if you use any of the other section templates, you should record your video at 160x120. This will ensure that the colors of your video display properly.

When setting the video image size and color depth, remember that the larger your image size, the more disk space recording video will consume. Therefore, we recommend that you record video that is not larger than 320x240. The default size for Alive e-Show video is 160x120.
