Reducing field of view down angle in 360 video

Hi,

I have a question about editing 360 video in Adobe Premiere Pro.

When exporting a spherical 360 video, is there a way to set a limit on the field of vision when looking down? I want to do this so that the person holding the camera in the video cannot be seen by someone viewing the video.

Since a 360 video has a 180 degree vertical field of view, viewing directly down shows a viewing angle of -90.0 degrees. Can this be changed on the down angle to, for example, -45.0 degrees so the viewer has a restricted field of view?

Thanks

    The only thing you could do for that (if exporting a full 360 video) is to build a custom player that is configurable, but I've never seen something like that so far. The first viable option I think would be to just black or white it out with a gradient perhaps to hide. If it's a locked off shot then you can get a clean plate and mask out the person with the background too. I tried that here: (TEST) 360 Video Manipulation Test - This Is Best For A Virtual Reality Headset - YouTube
