I assume you mean the Photo to Movie from LG Graphics.

The first thing you have to know is that the current versions does not support QTVR. Only the old Mac versions does, No windows versions have support.

I just done some very extensive tests on it and I recommend you to download the oldest version 3.3.2

The next version 4.0 has a bug which generate very bright videos from QTVR.

And the last version that supports QTVR is 4.2.7.

It works fine but the rendering takes more than double as long as with 3.3.2 using exactly same project files.

Here is a large HD 1920x1080 video 24 FPS I just made. It is 3.31 minutes and it took 33 min to render with 3.3.2. 4.2.7 used 77 min and I can not see any difference in quality.

Use the fullscreen option to see it best.

I want to make a tutorial about it but it will not be until next week .

Well you are far away. Maybe your connection is very slow.

It has fast start and should start automatically after about 30% is loaded.
As the movie is 137 mb that may some time if you have a slow connection.

I assume you are on Mac and have Quicktime.

I just checked and even on my 20 megabit connection the automatic start takes 60 sec before it starts. That was around 40% of the movie.

Remember that this is HD 1920x1080 movie, The original 50% JPG compressed movie was 1.25 GB

I also made a 50FPS movie. That one is 3.3 gb as 50% JPG and 193 mb as H264 40% compression. But it is also very smooth.

I would have liked to see this file of yours Hans, but with max 2.7 mbps connection, and only getting 760kbps connection to your server, it would take forever to have have it downloaded.

Just for you and Ramiro.
Here is a reduced size version.
50mb and this one is Hinted Streaming what ever that means. It starts at once on my connection.

1280x720 pixels 25fps.

Hans -

We are more lurkers here that keep our fingers crossed for a *HN* tutorial :- ()

Regarding your Hires movie ( first link ) - it took me 12 sec to run it ( Ok I'm on 100 MBit fibre ) Looks nice - but just a dash jerky .
About your 3,3 GB version - can you run it easily on an Imac ?

Yes runs fine in fullscreen on my iMac 27". But I am not sure that Youtube supports 50 FPS.
BTW I just tried the 2 versions above on my iPad. The small one runs fine but I got a stop sign for the large one. My guess I may have used a non supported audio file format. They are both H264 for the video but I am not sure what I used for the audio on the first one.

Here is the tutorial I promised.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1qRsySlIg4


Doing this within the YouTube 15 min restriction took a couple of trials.
Also I have to say I am disappointed by the quality of YouTube movies.
I uploaded it as a 1920x1080 HD but the quality is so bad that I recommend you to choose the 720 size instead. The 1080 simply stall all the time also even on my 20megabit connection.
I am not going to upload the actual fullsize HD movie to Youtube. At least not yet. Quality is just to bad on YouTube. I will try a smaller version and see if that is better
You can see it from the links I already posted above.
