Hi!

I have a question or request for guidelines how to approach my task to create an interactive pan inside a video play.

I have one video file.  
It is a 4 x 4K video - meaning a video file in resolution size of (4x3840) × 2160 ( 4 4K videos stitched together horizontally side by side)

The idea is to play it with some software player, having either a mouse / touchpad / keyboard entry to pan left and right.

( VLC player has a similar option with its zoom function, but not exactly what I wanted - because the navigation icons and navigation view stay overimposed.)

The idea is to have the vertical dimension locked - and allow only panning left and right while the video would play / loop.

Do You have any idea how to approach and programm something like that?

Regards A.
