Re: Illustrator and Whiteboard
Takes a lot of reading your questions does! Sounds like your not using the correct size of art board. This is where it gets hard for me cos I think you are using an animation programme that come with the whiteboard? I don't know it. The software that the white board uses for its animation must be a specific size so therefore you artboard in Illustrator must be the same. Also because we are using mixed software here when you export a raster image in any Adobe product that image will exported at 72 ppi but when you bring it into a windows programme that programme will bring it in at 96 ppi and a really think that this is your main problem. Since your using Illy CS6 why not use the multi-artboard facilities that started in CS5 so that you're not saving SVG 1 then bringing it back in to illy to do the next one just Ctrl+C, then Alt+Shift+CTRL+V to paste it in all artboards then draw your strokes. Just check all that all the raster images that you use have the same ppi values on the top line when you bring them in to Illy
Best solution the I found when using whiteboard graphics was either to use Flash (,swf) or Gif's - Flash for vector objects and PhotoShop for raster, doesn't need to be PS could be a few raster editors. Up until very recently I worked for a large health board in the UK and had to produce presentations for many projects and a lot were done on whiteboards. We used 2 programmes for this and both were based on a video type file which ran in the browser on the w/board one was PowToon can't remember the other as in the office we didn't have After Effects which is just about the best thing that you can use. AfterEffects because it is adobe's it can take all adobe generated graphic programmes file formats.
