Extremely sorry to be a free-loader; I am just starting out with this new “career” and I promise to contribute once I have gotten over my AE learning curve. Again, many many thanks.

[...] 我用AeScripts.com网站的全景脚本把一些照片制作成全景照片。AeScripts.com 是一个After Effects脚本的网上商店，或许你可以在上面找到你需要的脚本。 [...]

The scale of the panorama layer is set very high (20000%) to simulate an environment that is far away, such as a sky/horizon. If you reduce the scale (select the pt_Panorama layer and press S to reveal the Scale property) it will react to camera position changes more.

To get an idea of the diameter of the cylinder, switch the comp to Top view and the line showing the panorama layer represents the diameter of the cylinder.

Is it normal that the camera does not react to changes of the position, only rotation?

this might be what I was looking to create a set of 3d scenes – hopefully this could be a time saver

Hi Pierre, sorry I missed your post. I couldn’t really say if there is an optimal height/width ratio, but I guess there must be a certain height limit due to the limitations of cylindrical projection. What are your own observations?

Hi Paul,
What is the optimal height x width ratio of the jpeg for minimal distortion?

Autopano Pro (http://www.autopano.net) and PTGui (http://www.ptgui.com) are the most used stitchers nowadays. Hugin (http://hugin.sourceforge.net/download/) is a good open source alternative.

As a panoramic photographer, I’m just starting to learn After Effects and pt_Panorama saves me a lot of time because it makes creating movies from circular panoramas so easy. I’ve tried feeding it an equirectangular panorama as well, but that probably will only work in the next version making Trapcode Horizon superfluous.

Well, the script sets the scale of the precomp layer very high (20000%) to ensure you can move the camera around without getting close to the edges of the panorama, as this is typically what you want for a panoramic background. You could set that scale value much smaller so the camera can get close to the edges of the panorama.

Hey Paul,
Thanks for the script! Working great so far. Quick question, is the zoom option on the camera the only way (on the camera) to get the image larger? I’d prefer to actually push the camera forward in space to increase the size (instead of changing the lens size) but that doesn’t seem to be working for me. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Cheers,
John
