Please be aware that, because of the audio/video changes related to Windows 7, it is no longer possible to:
- Set the volume of individual sounds/videos
- Fade-in, fade-out and cross-fade music and sound files
- Stretch a video to a size bigger than its original size
- Put an image on top of a looping video
- If you put two images one on top of the other, and you hide the top one, there is a brief flickering when the bottom one appears
- Running ".AM1" files does not work the first time, you must try again in order to make them work
- Looping videos do not currently appear in panoramas (however, standard videos played through the corresponding option under the Plugins tab of the Hotspot Properties do appear)
