I am also experiencing a problem with QT 7.5.5 Pro.
I am no longer able to add a simple control sprite (from:
http://homepage.mac.com/qt4web/sprites/items.html) to auto-rotate
cylindrical QTVR panoramas created with Panavue ImageAssembler 3.5.0.
This used to work perfectly before QT 7.5.5.; now the QT PRO interface
has changed and perhaps this is part of the problem.
Auto-rotating movies done previously with QT 6.5.2 PRO (not sure about
QT 7.0) play OK in web pages or in the QT stand-alone player. However,
when I open a QTVR movie sometimes I have to "wake-up" the player by
clicking one of the zoom buttons (or pressing the Shift or CTRL keys)
in order for the pan function to work interactively with the mouse.
Something is not working correctly here! I did not have this problem
before.
My system: Dell Inspiron 6000, 1.6 GHz Centrino, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP
Home, QuickTime 7.5.5 Pro, Panavue ImageAssembler 3.5.0.
Anyone else having this problem? Solutions anyone (other than going
back to QT 7 or 6.5.2?
