Question

REFRAME FX by GoPro - total messed up video only at export

Please help, I am totally getting crazy.
Short: My export from Adobe Premiere or After Effects (as soon I turn on VR) is totally messed up. It's a 21:9 heavily zoomed in and wrongly stichted video / It's missing some parts of the verticalview (vr in adobe ist set to monoscopic 360 degree x 180) .
Longer: I am professionally working in the indusrty for over 10 years. In general, I know what I am doing but this is the first time using 360 videos and espacially the insta360 one x2.
I installed the Insta Studio including the adobe stuff and I installed GoPro FX Reframe. Inside Adobe everything works perfect (as in every tutorial shown). Even the export preview is absolutely correct. If I export without the VR option, everything is fine, If I export with it I always get this extremely zoomed in 21:9 aspect ration which is not even the project or export settings.
This example is a 360 photo used as a video, but the result is the same if I use the 360 videofiles.
Sorry for the messed up kitchen, but this was a test shot where you can see the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH7NKKYzSiQ
Funfact!!!: The preview picture is correct! No Zoom or wrong stitch there... as soon I start the video... it's messed up.
Thank you for your help!

What happens if you disable the GoPro FX and export with VR enabled?

Do you get the full 360?

Hey Mike,

 

that's funny.... it will recrop the picture as I deactivate GoPro FX as expected.

If I export it, same result: Totally zommed in 21:9, wrongly stitched.
It will stich exactly the left and right ends together as seen in the picture I included.

I can turn around inside the video, but it's missing parts. As soon as I activate GoPro FX I can turn around inside adobe perfectly and wronlgy after export... there are again parts missing.

I have a GoPro Max, I'll give this a try later but I completely stopped using Premiere quite some time ago as it NEVER rendered out a good quality version of the video after version 21 or something. They did something in the back end and no matter what setting you put in, it just would never render out anything useful or viewable in quality. Now I just export from the GoPro app, which is a huge shame. Maybe they've fixed that, I'll have to test.


Thank you 😃

 

As I am stuck with this problem, I used the 360 degree footage es normal 2D Footage and worked with the GoPro Plugin and with keyframes to zoom, pan, tilt... which worked perfectly. Only VR / 360 degree encoding is messing up....

Can you screenshot your sequence settings, export settings and programme monitor?
