Hi there.

Is it possible to add opacity to pinned videos and pinned images.
Bascially I'd like to add opacity to the item to blend them in a little to a wall
so not so pinned looking.

Thanks

Hi Greg,

I messed around with it for about an hour and couldn't figure out a solution. I can see that pinned videos and images are found in the XML file after it is exported, but nothing I tried worked. I am not an expert at computer science so there may be a way, it's just beyond my understanding right now. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

For pinned images you can use PNG with transparency, with a gradient for the edges to make it blend in nicely.
For pinned videos you can use an image mask, as described here: https://ggnome.com/doc/pano2vr/pinned-m ... bed-video/

That is such a good idea using a PNG with transparency. Didn't even cross my mind.

Hi,
For pinned videos we have a mask you can apply in the pinned video properties panel.
