While waiting for my HVX 200, 720p/25PN support to FCP, I made some QuickTime VR files, 360°/180°.

Does anyone know is it possilble to use those in FCP. Zoom, pan...

Those are quite big? (from 2 MB to 4 MB). If you like to see, down some links. Needs quickTime plugin what is free at apple.com. Once the QTVR movies have fully loaded, move the trace mouse cursor up-down or left right over the image. Use the shift key to zoom in. Use the control key to zoom out.

Ahh fraid not...

In a word, no. Final Cut Pro sees it as a still image. I don't know of being able to add any kind of VR plug-in to FCP, but maybe one does exist and then you can use it like that. Never created something like that myself so can't even really recommend any other possible solutions to use. What software did you use in the first place to create it?

cheers.
 
Best way to do this is to send the QT files out to a deck and record the movement, then import.

Or do a screen capture with SnapZPro from ambrosiasw.com
 
QuickTime VR files can be controlled and also combined with video in director. We teach kids to do this all the time for doing interactive tours where the panoramic nodes in VR scene files are registered to video.
 
Yes it is.

It is formerly Macromedia, now Adobe, and one of the pricier and difficult to learn apps.

It is not a video app, however.
 
Yes, Director is a standalone application. It started out in 1985 or so by Marc Kantor as VideoWorks under his company called MacroMind. Originally, it only ran on Macintosh computers. The company later grew into Macromedia and is now owned by Adobe. It is a programming application made popular by the early interactive CD-ROM world, game developers and educators.

Any time you have ever gotten an interactive CDROM from a car manufacture, where you could change the color of the car, or take some sort of VR tour, it was most likely created with Director.

Adobe still sells it for $1,200.

Very nice VRs. A bit off topic, but in your first VR http://sammacco.fi/mukkula_laituri_2.5MB.html showing a nice pier/boat dock I couldn't stop but to notice the graffiti painted on all of the interior surfaces and benches.

I thought these might have been taken in America at first, but then I realized, no, there are vandals and idiots the world wide. Sad.

You can keyframe camera moves in Realviz Stitcher and output them as quicktime.
I am not sure Stitcher will import a finished quicktime VR but it creates them so why not? The entry level version is 99.00 euro which is pretty cheap, but you would want to verify the capabilities first.
