Pano2QTVR is a panorama software to convert panoramic images into the Quicktime VR (QTVR) of Macromedia Flash (swf) format.

The converter is available as a limited free version (for non-commercial use) and a Pro version with enhanced features.

Pano2QTVR allows you to create cylindrical and cubic panoramas with hotspots, autorotation and background sound. The additional FlashPack exports those panoramas also to Macromedia Flash 8.

The input can be a single equirectangular image
or six separate cube faces.
It is also possible to convert between these two formats for retouching the cube faces.

Object Movies
With Pano2QTVR Pro you can also create single and multi row object movies with unlimited view states and embedded animation. The input could be a single strip
or individual images which can be arrange on a virtual light table

Thumbnails
With Pano2QTVR Pro you can also create various types of thumbnails like
* Equirectangular
* Little Planet
* Tunnel
* Mirrorball
* Sphere
* Default View

Other Features
The Pro version allows you to add automatic rotation, image/Flash overlays and background sound or all at once. You are able to import up to 10 additional sprite tracks.
The software also includes HTML templates for Quicktime, PTViewer, DevalVR and SPi-V. You can add templates for other viewers or modify them to fit your needs.
For easier batch processing you can pack all these features into a Droplet on your desktop to create multiple panoramas with HTML-Files and Thumbnails with just one click.
