Draw a QuickTime VR object on the page as described in Adding Object to a Page. Make sure you draw a large enough window to view the contents of the original document. The object’s Properties dialog box will open showing the QuickTime VR tab.
Click on the Browse button to open the Windows Open File dialog box, which allows you to locate the movie you want to view.
In the Display Options panel of the tab, select how you want to display the video in relation to the bounding box on the page containing it.
Click on the Fixed option if you want the QuickTime VR movie to start at the top left corner of the object’s bounding box. The image will be the same size as it was originally created.
Note:
You may need to resize the bounding box to show all of the video.
Click on the Centred option if you want to centre the video in the bounding box.
Click on the Scale to Fit option if you want to stretch the QuickTime VR movie to fit the bounding box you have drawn. This will activate the Keep Aspect option (see next point).
Note:
If you change the size of the bounding box, the video will continually stretch to fit the new size of the box.
Click on the Keep Aspect option if you want a video that has been set to Size to Fit to retain its shape and be un-stretched.
Note:
This option will keep a video in proportion (aspect ratio) and prevents the video looking stretched or out of shape.
