Playing a video in a tour - how?

I was shown on Photokina an example that I can insert a video. for example in a living room there is a TV and there is running a tv-show.

As I can remember, I have to add a polygon around the TV screen and insert an objekt. But how can I do it that the TV is already on and showing a movie or tv show? I only found a possibility that I have to click on the TV and then the Movie is popping up.

I hope that you understand what I mean...

thank you and best regards

Draw a rectangular hotspot on the TV where you wisht to display the video.

Then select the video you wish to display in Hotspor Properties/Display/Object.

That´s great - but did you try it? The video is completely distorted - it fits into a polygon without proportional scaling . . and is turned 90°.
I didn´t find how to correct it.

Editing a rectangular or a polygon doesn´t let me delete it - usually i hit "ctrl" on a Mac and i can delete a hotspot.

best, Klaus

To delete hotspots - on Windows anyway:

1. In the project panel right-click on the hotspot and choose 'delete hotspot(s)' - see screenshot 1.

2. In the Hotspot Editor click on the 'Select' icon (leftmost) then right-click on the hotspot and choose 'delete hotspot(s)' - see screenshot 2.

Hi Andrew!

Do you define a polygon or a rectangle?

A rectangular hotspot.

You cannot specify a Display/Object file for a polygon hotspot.

You can specify a Link/Object but not a Display/Object for polygon hotspots. The latter option doesn't exist for polygon hotspots, at least not in my Windows 32-bit APT V1.1 b11 nor PTP V1.5 b1 versions.

Hi Andrew!

Surprisingly i worked in a polygon indeed. But was completely distorted. On my MacBook Pro it didn´t work in a rectangular shape - i´m just going to try it on my stationary MacPro. Will report my success (i hope) here.

best, Klaus

P.S.: works great! cool Thanks again!

Re: Playing a video in a tour - how?

Thank you. I understood it. But you have to draw the rectangular shape clockwise, starting on the top left !!!

@Klaus: Wenn Du das Rechteck aufziehst, dann achte streng darauf, dass Du OBEN links anfängst, dann nach rechts oben, dann rechts unten, dann nach links. Dann schließen! Sonst wird es verkehrt gezeigt!

OHA!! Guter Hinweis!! cool
Auf DIE Idee, daß das orientierungsmäßig für das Movie zusammenhängt bin ich noch nicht gekommen - ich mach das meist so, wie´s kommt.
Danke Dir!
