"animation" with auto zoom inside a gigapixel flat panorama of a painting

Dear Klaus, dear KR Pano community,

I made last week a 35 gigapixel panorama of a famous painting using an automated XYZ stage and our Hirox digital microscope.

I am not allowed to show it yet but I will be able to share the results in a few days!

For the opening of the exhibition, I need to make movies that will be displayed on a screen.

The idea is to start with the full painting and very slowly move to a position, then pause, then zoom out to another position, zoom again and so on. The total video will be about 3 min.

Once I have the "path", I will make a screen recording with an external recording system. And obviously, this is very urgent (as always)...

I am a bit struggling with the code, I looked at various posts here but I'm not sure which function is the best, is it tween?

It should be very minimalist, no click, no visible hotspot, no menu, just zoom in, pause, zoom out at a different position, pause and so on.

Many thanks in advance for guiding me to the right direction!

All the best,
Emilien / Hirox

thank you Jerome and a big thanks to Tuur for his toolbox!

I ended up with the following:

- I used edge with Tuur's toolbox to see the position h and v and fov
- I rewrote it in krpano's action using lookto + tween or smooth
- I wrote for each spot (I had about 50 different spots) the correct code, how long is the best time from a to b, what acceleration / deceleration
- then inside chrome, I executed the actions one after the other using the developers tools
- finale I used OBS to record in live the various movement I was executing manually

It was a long process but at the end, I had my path and it worked out very well.

I hope I will be able to share with you the resulting video soon!
I will also try to make an easier workflow for the v2 of the video, because I'm sure there is a better way!

All the best,
Emilien
