I have several large pano's (1Gb+) that I would like to create a flash/video/whatever that allows me to create a "Guided Tour", i.e. Start out zoomed to here, then pan out to here, then pan right to here, then zoom in to here.... the key here is I want a "Guided" tour, in which I can identify frames to show, and then transition between those frames by pan/zoom automatically, at the end of the "Guided" part, dropping into the interactive mode is nice, but my main desire is the "Guided" part... I've watched the on-line video's, but how to create this "Guided" or "Automatic" pan/zoom seems to be eluding me, like I said, I'm new to the tools.

Rather than a straight pan across the image from a specific starting point I would like to pan and zoom from a starting point to a series of specific "frames" (zoom/position coordinates), with an optional pause at each one. At the end of the stack of frames, the tour should proceed to the next panorama as Auto Tour does now. The "Guided Tour" should respect the Auto Tour play/pause actions and default controls. I do a lot of Giga-Pixel work and want to have the tour highlight specific "frames" of the image. I'm also interested in using the Tweener transitions between "frames". I was hoping to create a code framework that would allow me to use the AutoPano editor to find the "frames" and then just enter those along with optional parameters (speed, transition, pause) into a simple file (csv, xml...) that will drive the tour. My code would need to intercept or override some of the auto tour methods, and would require a "frame stack" file for each pano. If the UI were to be enhanced to support this it would be by providing an editor for that "Stack" file that allowed me to pan/zoom to a location in the preview and add to the stack and then edit the additional parameters for each frame. Those are my current design goals, and I'm hoping to start coding this weekend.
