Compression Settings

These settings define the type of compression to use when creating the QTVR movie.
Codec: Choose the type of compression you want to use. Photo-JPEG is the most
suitable for panoramas. It should be installed by default with QuickTime.
Options: Depending on the type of compression you choose, set additional options,
such as streaming optimization.
Quality: Choose the level of compression by adjusting the slide bar.

Rendering Quality

These settings define the quality of the displayed movie in static and motion mode.
Motion: When you navigate in QuickTime
Static: When you do not navigate in QuickTime

Tiling (for Cubic QTVR only)

These settings define the tiling method that is used to show the QTVR movie in stages
as it streams into the plug-in. This is what your users see as they wait for the movie to
load completely. Each cube face is split into tiles that appear one at a time onscreen.
NOTE The more tiles you specify, the less efficient compression is. Tiles will load as they
download, so they are very good for large images.
Tile Size: Select the number of square tiles you want, columns in the first field, rows
in the second.
Auto-tiling: Check the autotiling box, then set the number of pixels you want each
tile to be. Stitcher calculates the number of tiles based on this number and the size of
each cube face.

Preview

These settings let you preview the movie and define whether or not the preview is
generated directly from your panorama (and how it appears) or from another image
you specify. You can also set the compression settings.
