Stitching a Panorama
From a Series of Images
This chapter shows you how to create a panorama from multiple images. The source material
for a stitched panorama can be images taken with a film or digital camera, images captured
from a video camera or video media, or 3D rendered graphics. It’s recommended that you
learn the features of the Panorama Stitcher by using the source material provided on the
QuickTime VR Authoring Studio CD. Once you have mastered using the Panorama Stitcher,
see Chapter 8, “Creating Source Material,” for tips on capturing or photographing images
for panoramas.
Using the Panorama Stitcher
To make a panorama from a series of images, follow these steps:
1 Double-click the QuickTime VR Authoring Studio icon.
2 Choose New from the File menu, then select Panorama Stitcher.
A dialog box appears.
3 Type a name for your Panorama Stitcher document.
A Panorama Stitcher document is a record of your Panorama Stitcher session. If you
quit QuickTime VR Authoring Studio before you stitch the panorama, you can open the
document later to continue your work. You can also open the Panorama Stitcher document
to make changes to a panorama you’ve already finished.
