Premiere Pro 360 Video Editing/ adjusting Center / Starting Frame / Initial Angle

Hey lovely Team,

I am currently trying to edit a Samsung Gear 360 Video.

I have already stitched the 360 Videos within the gear 360 Action Director and I am ready to edit.

My Problem within editing is the following.

The Image has a center, which is not always the center i want it to be.


For Instance, i have a shot where the camera faces a wall and on the oppsite side  (180°) there is the ocean.

When i put this on the timeline, i can see, that the frame that the viewers are automatically getting is the wall...

I need to adjust that starting frame, Field of View, Center-Point. I would like to have it the ocean in this cut.

Some scenes later, i have that same shot, but i have a skateboarder in front of the wall, so i would like to have that center again at the wall.

So what i need to know is: How can i adjust the center, the field of view, that the final output will get?
I also need to adjust it within 1 file for several times, so i would be able to have 1 shot, several cuts with several centers, that possible?

looking forward to your help guys!

best regards,

Thomas

I have found this guide to be quite useful.  At the bottom is a short video where the user duplicates the source video left and right and offsets all too re-position the centre.

I use the Offset Effect as mentioned. Works great for starting point. Is there any way to stop the viewing angle from changing throughout the video? For instance, I am using a 360 camera in a moving vehicle but it is constantly trailing away from my starting point. I know it's minor and probably redundant but my OCD wants to find a way to lock the viewing angle unless the viewer chooses to change it themselves. Thank you all!

    I am here in 2020 and still looking for this answer....very telling that after 2 years....it still isn't answered.  Why am I paying money for this program again?     Functionality is less than free software from some 360 cameras,  learning/support is non existent for 360 video, etc etc.

      You can try, if you find the discontinued ( which is really a shame):Gopro vr plug in, but I am not sure if it is exactly what you are searching for.

       

      All the best

            Hi!

            Thanks for the tip but shouldn't there be any easy way to do this right on the clip in Premiere?

            Shouldn't there be a feature for choosing the starting angle of each clip in Premiere?
