LiveStage Pro can definitely be scripted to automatically rotate/pan/tilt
QTVRs either along a series of defined points or random ones, or some
combination. If using defined points, these could be read from an XML file
stored externally. It could also load .mov files randomly or in order,
etc., etc. If you want to build such a tool, LiveStage Pro is a good place
to do it. If you want someone to build it for you, let me know...
