The problem is that the post-processing feature of MegaPov 1.1 (or higher) is
completely different (more powerful, but sadly enough also a lot slower) than it
was in MegaPov 0.4.  Remove the post-process block, and it should work fine.  If
you want the soft-glowing post-processing, you'll need to make it yourself,
because, as far as I know, it's not included with MegaPov 1.1.  It's not that
hard to do, but as I said earlier, it's rather slow.
