This isnt exactly graphics editing software, but it does relate to graphics.

Does anyone know of any software that will turn a panoramic picture into an interactive quicktime video? The sort that you can use to scroll around a picture.

Call for help on TechTV Canada demonstrated a free program that did this, but at the time I was only partially paying attention and I didnt bother to write down the name of the program, or even the date of the tv show. I searched all over the Canadian and american websites for G4Techtv and I couldnt find it.

I think this program would be rather fun to play with, and possibly even profitable.

Anyone know of any programs *preferably free* that can do this?

    There are probably free ones out there, but do check into PanoramaFactory. Has tools for hotspot inclusion as well. Windows only.

    You found it on thier site? My searching skills must have really gone down hill, hehe.

    This one costs $64 it seems, I remember the one on the show was free, but I could have been mistaken. Problem of watching tv and using the pc at the sam time is I miss half the stuff on the tv.

    Thanks for the link, I appreciate it. :0)

    found another
    Here's a free one. I forgot about Philo's site. He lists one, third from bottom on his links page. PanoCube.

    http://www.philohome.com/panotutorial/tutlinks.htm

    Take a moment to look at Philo's site while you're there. Its a hoot! Lego® Robots that help take panos? Only there, folks, only there. Philosphere's, Lego ® SkyShooter, etc.
