Object VR and Quicktime

tackletour · Fri Nov 28, 2008 5:13 am

I notice when I embed my object VRs, the background of my .mov file isn't white.
It's gray.

Here's an example: http://www.tackletour.com/800x536.html

Any ideas?
Thanks

Is your colour space set to sRGB? Can you upload a single frame (image) to compare against the QT movie?

I've added an attachment. Can you check it to see if it meets the specs you mentioned?
In photoshop I used both Northern America 2 and Web/Internet color profiles. The white background looks the same in both.

Thanks

You will see my example shows correct colouring. Your background colour is #FFFFFF and this shows in my test.
It has to be your colour profile.

I have mine set as North America General Purpose 2
and then under RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in the Working Spaces setting from the drop down list.

I have the same thing: North America General Purpose 2, RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in the Working Spaces of my Photoshop.

You see my background as #FFFFFF, that's in the link I provided above or in the single image I attached?

If it's my color profile, I wonder where it's adding in this color setting...
I use Quicktime output in Object2VR, then under the HTML tab, I check Enable HTML
I use the standard template provided.
Under Template Parameters I see Text Color, Background Color <--- could this be where it's adding in the #FFFFFF?

Thanks

#FFFFFF is the colour in your image background (pure white). You colour is being changed when you publish it would seem because the photo image colour is correct.

I didn't try with the HTML, so maybe something is going on there?
Will look at it some more a bit later today.

Thanks, I appreciate the help.

I just tried something.

1) QTVR output, default settings, then viewed the .mov in IE.
Result - white background as in your example with the single image.

2) QTVR output, this time Enable Zoom maximum to 2, then viewed the .mov in IE.
Result - white backgorund UNTIL you zoom in and out, then the gray background is visible.

3) QTVR output, with zoom and HTML, this is just like my first link, gray background.

I would like to have the Zoom in and out feature, and Thomas said only way is to Enable HTML.

Thanks
