Autospinning QTVR using Adobe Premier HELP!

[arvind]

Hi guys,

 

I just finished a couple of panos in max for

a client. The output I have given is a QTVR.

now he wants to know how to autpspin it

using premier. Im completely clueless on this.

Can anyone suggest how to do this?

 

thanks in advance.

i'm a little confused by the question so could be way of the mark with my suggestion!!

 

first of all i've always known premiere as a means for compiling and editing video rarther than for implementing interactive solutions such as panos. Secondly i can't see the benefit of producing a pano that auto spins? it seems to defeat the object of letting you have control over which direction your looking in.

 

so, and i may be wrong, maybe what your client is asking for is you to render out an animation where the camera flys around the building, this could then be compiled in premiere into a movie that "auto spins" around the building.

hi James,

 

I agree , the whole purpose of the vr is defeated, by autospinning.

But as far as I know it is going into a presentation made

in premier, so the vr will probably stuck in for a few seconds

like a part of the video.

 

Actually i found a piece of software qvtr2mov which extracts

the qtvr into jpeg frames along a path that i specify. then I took

the frames into Adobe Imageready, which is the only software

that i have that can convert it back to mov format. Using

that I compiled the frames into a mov file which now is a video

of the VR.

 

worked quite well, but the qtvr was lost completely.

 

thanks,

arvind.

how long did the process take to extrat the jpegs from the vr? could be quite a handy method of creating simple and quick ani's!!

 

do the jpegs still have the distrotion that occurs when viewing in vr?

Hi James,

 

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes the software allows you to open

the qtvr, set the fov, start point and

end point, and spins it and screen

captures the resulting images into

individual jpegs.

 

if u have a mac it can store the sqeuence

directly into a mov directly from the software

itself . but im unlucky as i dont have one
