Maybe one thing – I was already working on improving the krpano GUI editing functionalities for a long time and now without Panotour I will probably accelerate the development in that direction. ![]() The krpano development itself is very good ongoing (although a bit slower than wished) and the next release is not far away and will bring some nice new features. krpano was always fully independent and will be also in future. Thanks to Pepe Vazquez (360 Tips & Tricks) for bringing this to my attention!įor Kolor Panotour users here is a comment and some good news from Klaus the developer of Krpano the core on which Panotour is based:įrom krpano side basically nothing will change or be different now. Hopefully Kolor’s closure leads to a stronger GoPro and to increased business for PTGui and Mistika, and virtual tour software such as Pano2VR. What is surprising to me is why GoPro didn’t sell Kolor’s intellectual property to Adobe or other companies (perhaps it might still happen). Although GoPro’s stock has improved in the last 4 months, and even recently set a new high for 2018, Kolor’s closing appears to be a direct consequence of GoPro’s financial issues. However, GoPro has been under a lot of financial pressure due to declining sales and its stock plummeted in August 2015. Its Autopano stitching software and Panotour virtual tour software have been among the leading products in the 360 and VR industry. Kolor was purchased by GoPro in late April 2015. However, GoPro Fusion Studio and GoPro VR Plugin will continue to be available here. Kolor products will no longer be sold on, nor will the software be updated. We found location scouting with the Theta S was paramount to helping guide us on which locations would work and which ones needed help.Kolor, makers of VR stitching software Autopano Video and Autopano Giga, and virtual tour software Panotour, announced that they are closing their doors effective September 14, 2018. How do you help the viewer navigate? How do you direct the viewer’s attention? The location where you are shooting might look awesome for traditional video storytelling, but looks messy and uninspiring in full 360º. So, some of the challenges of 360º VR is wrapping your head around the full experience, the full frame of view. However, it’s not a FULL 360º experience like VR. ![]() Most recently a 360º 23,000 pixel wide film for the Kentucky Derby Museum. I’ve been editing large immersive films in the museum world for about 10 years. ![]() What were the challenges of this project? They were very interested in the technology and our unique way of storytelling. We knew that 360º VR would be a GREAT tool for them. So, we pitched our client on 360º, sharing some sample scenes that we had put together and hoping to entice them to jump into production. We’ve been so excited about 360º immersive content. Q&A with James Pence, Owner/Editor Videobred Why did your client decide to go with a 360 video? Did they want to do 2D video, or were they already interested in a 360 production?
