QTVR2MOV becomes Pano2Movie - public beta

It's been a long time coming, but a totally revised version of QTVR2MOV is on the way, with advanced controls for QTVR-to-video conversions...

Name Change:
QTVR2MOV is now known as Pano2Movie, which is a bit more pronounceable. ;-)

The Good News (New Features):
- Recordable paths which can be saved and/or applied to other panoramas.
- Keyframe editing of paths in timeline.
- Built-in conversion to any QuickTime codec on both Windows and OS X, with the ability to save presets.
- Off-screen rendering, so that you can carry on using other applications while it renders.
- High quality rendering option for reduced 'jaggies' and shimmer.
- Intermediate files can be saved as JPEGs or as lossless PNGs for higher quality.

The Bad News:
- The price is rising to the heady heights of $49.95, previous users will be able to upgrade for $24.95.
- The Windows beta is running slightly behind the OS X beta (build 42 v. build 46) and is therefore a bit buggier.

Other Notes:
- 30 day fully functional demo, after that all exports are limited to 300 frames.

All beta testing is taking place via a dedicated Google group, please sign up here.

The Google group is now readable by everyone. Oops.

Hopefully the crashing problems with the Windows version are fixed, so here's a version for you to try and break. :-)

As usual, please use for feedback.

P.S. Berkeley attendees will be getting a sneak peek of the bezier-curve paths planned for version 2.1...
