HTML Templates

The Web Output exports an HTML file to play back the project in a browser. This is a template that can be edited to your project's needs.

A few templates are built in, and they are found in the HTML Templates folder. The built-in templates are read-only: each time Pano2VR starts, it puts back any of them that are missing, and an update replaces them with their new version. To change one, copy it under a new name, next to it or into your project folder, and edit the copy. A copy made in the Finder or File Explorer stays read-only, so first make it writable: on macOS, set your access to Read & Write in its Get Info window; on Windows, deselect Read-only in its Properties. You can also create your own templates.

★ Tip  Add a custom HTML template to your project folder to use it for this project only. It appears in the menu with the placeholder $d in front of its name.
