Fusion Experience HTML 5 & RTV News

January 24, 2018

Great news Real Tour Vision fans; the all new HTML 5 Fusion Experience virtual tour player is here. Say hello to this responsive, fast loading, incredibly attractive, versatile tour player launched by Real Tour Vision virtual tour software company at the end of last year. We are still programming in the finishing touches, but if you have not taken the new Fusion Experience player for a ‘spin’ you should give it a try. Those of you looking for a game changer this year, here it is! Jim Blue and I soft launched this here in Traverse City, MI via phones, tablets and desktop computers and the consensus is that our new Fusion Experience player is the nicest interface they had ever seen and used. Your customers are in for a techy treat!

The team worked very hard last year to take both of our Flash-based interactive virtual tour players and convert them to HTML 5. We have done that and added several improvements along the way. As of right now you can deliver your virtual tour URL’s in HTML 5 to your customers right from your RTV Tour Manager. Watch this video message from Jason LaVanture, RTV’s Co-Founder and VP – https://youtu.be/dadYhjLaxpQ

Take a look at some of these virtual tour productions on display in Fusion Experience –

We are very excited for you to make use of the advanced features that Fusion Experience brings to the table such as custom themes and loader screens without enduring the slower load times that are associated with the Flash version. When it comes to HTML 5 virtual tour players, we are ahead of the curve and leading the way!

RTV Launches New & Improved RockPointe Marketing

December 20, 2017

If you have ever attended one of RTV’s live webinars, you know how much these shows can help you grow your business. You may also be aware, that those who subscribe to RockPointe Marketing have access to hundreds of past shows as well as a great selection of customizable marketing pieces that can be used to help promote their virtual tour business. While RockPointe Marketing was great, we wanted to make it even better!

The all-new www.Rockpointemarketing.com is now live with a fresh new look and best of all, members now have the option to purchase individual shows and marketing pieces. If you would prefer to access ALL that RockPointe Marketing has to offer for one low cost, you can still subscribe for $400 per year.

Did we mention the generous offering of free webinars? That’s right, free webinars to help you get the most out of Fusion (our powerful virtual tour software), maximize your profits and get the competitive edge in your business. If you have heard about our new 3D VR Headset tours but didn’t catch the webinar,  you can watch it along with many other shows by registering for a free membership and visiting the complimentary webinar category.

Our paid webinars cover topics from traditional as well as internet marketing methods, photography techniques, post processing tips, and tricks, to gadget reviews and much more. There is a wealth of knowledge from Jason LaVanture, Jason Stringham, Ben Knorr, and many other industry experts that will help your photography, virtual tour and aerial drone business achieve the competitive advantage you need. We will be adding new webinars and marketing pieces as they become available, so be sure to check back often for the latest tips and tricks to help your business stand out from the crowd.

Those who had a paid subscription on the old RockPointe Marketing have already been transferred over and can continue to access all of the premium content. Monthly and quarterly subscriptions will no longer be available for purchase, but those currently using these plans will have access full access until their current subscription expires. These folks will be able to continue on as a pay per piece customer or can opt to purchase the yearly subscription and access all the webinars and marketing pieces they would like.

Those that had a complimentary membership on the old site or RTV photographers who would like a complimentary membership will need to visit RockpointeMarketing.com and register for an account on the new platform. These free memberships will give full access to our entire library of complimentary webinars, and allow the user to purchase individual pay per piece items. Each membership request will be sent for approval by an RTV staff member to ensure that only approved RTV photographers have access.

If you haven’t watched the excellent 3 part video series in which Darryl Stringer shares some of what he has learned during his 30 years in the real estate photography industry, Beth Nixon’s hand blending exposures webinar that will take your image quality to the next level, or if you haven’t updated your marketing materials in a while, visit www.Rockpointemarketing.com today and take advantage of great prices on individual shows and pieces.

RTV Launches New Video Ripper – Drone Pilots and Video Guys Sure to Like

December 1, 2017

Virtual Tour Video

RTV proudly offers the most virtual tour features in the industry. We understand that in order to stay a leader we have to innovate on a regular basis!

As we head into our final month of 2017, we have some exciting news for you on the development front. The guys have completed some fantastic new updates to the RTV Video Ripper. Watch the full release video here – https://youtu.be/o3-4Fx_1mDo 

Those of you might have noticed that the videos created by the OLD video ripper had basic looking text on them and moved from scene to scene using a variety of random animated transitions. The output files were also only 720p. We are proud to say that the newly improved video ripper has quite a few improvements over the previous ripper.

Here is our short list:

• Now in 1080 HD – That’s right team! Our new video ripper pulls the images from your original HD uploaded images and uses your original files to create a high definition production.

• Includes Uploaded Videos – Are you an Aerial Drone Operator? Do you do video walk-throughs or AstroZooms in your RTV productions? If you use ANY video at all in your Real Tour Vision productions you will love the fact that our new video ripper also pulls your full motion video clips from your interactive virtual tour and adds them into your video rip. You can find the rip to video toggle now enabled on your video clips in the scene manager. By default, all videos within your virtual tour production will be included in your video output.

• Ken Burns Replicator – The new video ripper examines EACH of your carefully defined Ken Burns transitions from your interactive virtual tour and replicates that into the video rip. Say goodbye to random transitions. The new video ripper will do EXACTLY what you tell it to, right down to how long each slide is shown in the video.

• Spherical Optical Correction Added – The old video ripper would not optically correct spherical panoramas so they looked absolutely horrid when ripped into a video production. The new video ripper carefully optically corrects the viewing of a spherical panorama so the viewer can look at your spherical panoramas now without any distortion. With 3D spherical tours on the rise this was a MUST for us to include in our latest version!

• Enhanced Output Control – We have added several new buttons and toggles in the video promotion section of your tour manager to allow for finer control over video creation.

• Full Audio Support – The new video ripper now supports ALL audio formats including AudioPal narrations, custom tour narration, RTV Radio and custom uploaded .mp3 music tracks.
Here are a few videos that were just ripped:

Palaestrum – AudioPal, Drone Footage, Still Photos, Cylindrical Panoramas 

San Remo – AudioPal, Agent Video Introduction, Still Photos, Cylindrical Panoramas 

Bridge Street – Still Photos, Optically Corrected Spherical Panoramas 

Enjoy the new virtual tour software technology team and keep your eyes and ears peeled for the release of our all new HTML 5 Fusion Experience player that we will be showing you in the coming days! Thanks for your support.
