This means you can’t get 1080p crops out of the 4K file, so the final result is rather low resolution. I say ‘in theory’ because even 4K is limited resolution to work with when you’re selecting what is a relatively small crop from the 360-degree image. In this way, you could, in theory, shoot with a single camera and then choose your angles afterwards: front-facing, rear-facing, straight down and so on. Chop up your 360-degree footage into sections, choose a different angle for each, and you have an extremely convincing simulation of footage shot with a whole array of cameras.Īs I mentioned on my camera review, there is one big problem with doing this with today’s consumer 360-degree cameras: That ability was added in version 10.4.īut there’s one other trick you can perform with 360-degree video: simulating multi-camera footage.įCP X lets you choose a viewpoint from spherical footage, and then work with that as a flat, wide-angle clip. You can check out my review of the camera here.Įditing actual 360-degree footage is no different to editing any other footage, other than the fact that you have to get used to looking at the weird flattened view of spherical footage.
Stick it on a selfie-stick, hold it up high and all is good. Shooting footage is not even point-and-click: since it offers complete 360-degree coverage, and uses a 6-axis gyro to know how it is aligned, the ‘pointing’ bit doesn’t matter. In just three days, we got to visit a geyser, do some horse-riding and – most fun of all – go snowmobiling on a glacier. I’d been looking for an excuse to play with 360-degree video, and a short trip to Iceland provided the perfect opportunity. That is set to change: I’m working on a small personal project that I’ll talk a little about below, but my most recent use has been editing footage from a 360-degree video camera to produce pseudo multi-camera footage … Despite my best intentions, I haven’t done that much video work of late. It’s been quite some time since my last Final Cut Pro Diary entry, and that’s not by chance.
