Question

When I upload to Vimeo or YouTube it detects 360 and then I have an unwatchable 360 video

I did not shoot in 360 - we used the RED Scarlett.

I edited on a 4k timeline in Premiere Pro. I set my Sequence for the RED 2:1.

I exported matching sequence.

I used encoder to transcode into H.264 matching the high bitrate.

I uploaded to Vimeo and it detected 360 footage and promptly treated it as such.

On export I did not check the VR box.

I've re -exported from Premiere using ProRes 422 HQ again did not check the VR box under Video tab. Transcoded in Media Encoder to H.264 again matching bitrate.

I uploaded to Vimeo and again it's a 360 video.

I re- exported matching bitrate, transcoded through HandBrake to H.264. Uploaded to Vimeo - still 360 video.

Is the 360 backed into my media? Is there some setting on the RED that would indicate this is 360 footage?

Help. Please Help.

    Was having this same issue. 

     

    Had to re-export video, scroll to bottom of export settings and uncheck "for VR" 

     

    Hope this helps!

      How long are you waiting after you upload to YouTube? YouTube tends to process a 360p version first, and then in the background creates subsequently higher resolution tiers of the video (same goes for Vimeo I think). If you upload and instantly check your video when it's "done" you may only see the 360p video for 5-10min, maybe even longer depending on how long the video is. You also may need to manually select a higher resolution playback on YouTube

       

      Other than that, if you take your finished H.264 video and bring it back into Premiere, what resolution does Premiere say the file is?

        Thank you for your response. I did resolve this issue. Here is what I learned. Though Vimeo detected a 360 file it was not correct. There was nothing wrong with my export. You can simply override the 360 format by going to the distribution tab - there is a on/off button to change the file. I turned it off and the file returned to normal.
