If you stitch 16-bit-per-color images and then save as a QTVR (.MOV)
file, some parts of the image may be missing (black) or may be shown with
incorrect colors. To check whether you are using 16-bit-per-color
images , look at the Project properties dialog box (File menu) and
see whether Use 45-bit pixels is selected.
One workaround is to use 8-bit-per-color images.
Open the Project properties dialog box (File menu) and deselect the
Use 45-bit pixels checkbox.
If you need to use 16-bit-per-color images, you may install the
following patch.
