I am unable to play the swf files created by Autopano Tour. I can play swf files created in Pano2VR OK. I have a KRpano license.

When I open the swf files created by Autopano Tour I do see the navigation menu buttons but the screen is black.

I have the Global Security options set correctly in the Adobe Flash Player.

Any idease why this doesn't work?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Are you sure you have the security setting setup correctly?

What OS and browser are you using?

Is this a 360x180 pano or a partial pano?

Are you using multi-res tiling?

Thanks for the reply,

I have the security settings correct, as I have previously been using Autopano Pro 1.4 and Pano2VR 2.2.3 to make my Virtual Tours. I play them in Adobe Flash player 10.

I have recently upgraded to Autopano Giga & Autipano Tour, and have purchased the KRPano license.

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit and Internet Explorer 8.

I am making 360 x 180 panos. I do not use partial panos at all.
I do not use multi res tiling but would like to be able to do this in the future.

Have you registered your krpano license in APT?

What cube face size are you using?

I have now gotten this to work by downsizing my panos from 300 dpi to 72 dpi. The typical file dimensions I use are about 17600 x 3600 x 300dpi. The virtual tours I make, need to be able to produce a high res full screen virtual tour.

17600x3600 is not a 360x180, a 360x180 equirectangular input image will always have a 2:1 aspect ratio.

Forget DPI it has nothing to do with anything in this context.

I need to understand the size limitations of Autopano Tour. The documentation states that I should be able to use panos up to 200 000 000. The quality of the downsized files leaves a lot to be desired.

For a 360x180 to display as a fullscreen Flash VR you should not need more than 8000x4000 pixel input image.

When APG creates a rendered pano it add a custom EXIF tag that includes data on the pano FOV.

APT will read this to set the pano FOV within APT.

But.... if you post-process the rendered pano before inputting it to APT it is most likely that your image processing software will strip out the custom EXIF tag - in which case APT assumes a default pano FOV of 360x180.

You could read the custom EXIF with an EXIF reader before post-processing and note the pano FOV values and latter enter them in APT. Or open the renederd pano in APT before post-processing to see what the pano FOV values are and use them later after post-processing you pano.
