Generating Alternative Files

Not all browsers will playback all media files. Therefore, we've added a file converter to the sounds and videos modes.

Set up

First, install FFmpeg, which is a free and open source tool we use to convert audio and video files.

1. Install FFmpeg.

2. Add FFmpeg to your applications folder or home directory.

3. In Pano2VR, Go to the FFmpeg tab in Settings/Preferences. Click, Choose to locate the FFmpeg executable.

Now you’re ready to generate alternative files:

• Generate an Alternative Video File

• Generate an Alternative Sound File
