Samsung Gear 360 Video Import

I recently bought a Samsung Gear 360 camera to play around with and shot some footage at a bowling birthday party with the camera perched on the ball return to see how it did.

All in all not bad but I do see that there is a slight shift where the stitching happens indicating that I might be able to rotate the two sphere halves on the screen to correct it and matching things up a lot better.

But on importing the raw, unstiched video, I do not have access to the VR menus to let me look at things in VR Mode. I've tried a stitched version as well and the menu stays greyed out.

Anyone had any experience with Gear 360 video in this app?

Hi kylebellamy,

I've seen people using Samsung Gear 360 footage in Premiere Pro without issues.

Note that Premiere Pro only accepts stitched VR footage.

You might want to re-stitch your footage in the Samsung app that comes with the camera for stitching.

Additionally, try CCnLA's suggestion and let us know if that works.

Best,

Rameez

Hi RameezKhan, does the Gear360 now come with a native stitching app for free? Have you used it? Any additional hardware or software I need to go from shoot to final output? I have access to Adobe CC.

Hi mahtabhdr,

Sorry for my delayed response! I was on vacation.

I don't own it but a colleague of mine does. I haven't used it myself. I'll check with him and let you know.

Thanks,

Rameez

There's a video on the Mettle site showing how to use Adobe After Affects (with a Mettle plugin) to adjust the seams in 360 video shot with cameras like the Gear 360.
