Tips and Troubleshooting
This chapter describes solutions to problems you may encounter when creating
QTVR media.
General problems
These problems may appear in panoramas or object movies.
When I zoom in on an image, it looks blurred.
Cause 1: The images are not of a high enough resolution.
Solution 1a: If you took your images from a PhotoCD, check to see if you have higher-
resolution images. If so, remake your panorama or object with the higher-resolution images.
Solution 1b: Reshoot the source material at a higher resolution. It’s usually a good idea to
capture or photograph the source material at the highest resolution possible, and then use
an image-processing tool such as Adobe Photoshop
™ to make copies that are lower in
resolution. You can always go back to the higher-resolution originals if you find the resolution
you selected is too low.
Solution 1c: Limit how much the user can zoom in by adjusting the playback settings for the
panorama or object.
Cause 2: You used a compression method or compression quality settings that introduced
too much distortion in the image.
Solution 2: Open the QuickTime VR Authoring Studio document and select a different
compression method, or use the same compression method at a higher quality setting.
