It records two fisheye views that are just over 180 degrees, from cameras situated back to back in a 2.5″ sphere. I am using the older 2016 model, which has a higher resolution sensor, but records UHD instead of the slightly larger full 4K video of the newer 2017 Model. There are two totally different models with the same name, usually differentiated by the year of their release. The simplest and cheapest 360 camera option I have found is the Samsung Gear 360. Most of the basic principles of shooting and editing 360 VR are exactly the same for all of those systems, so it makes sense to start experimenting and learning with something that is not as expensive. These currently range in price from $100 to hundreds of thousands. Ricoh Theta V Basic App – a 360-viewer for video and image files.Here is part one of six of the 360 video series I edited using only free software.The first step in creating 360 videos, is recording with a 360 degree camera systems.
Spatial Media Metadata Injector – to add 360 metadata to video files.DaVinci Resolve 14 – to edit and export 360 video files.GIMP – to edit the images used in the intro-outro credits.VLC – a non-360-viewer for video files. My friend Torii Moré is Curator of Digital Humanities at the McLean County Museum of History. Last summer, she recorded an hour-long walking tour in Bloomington, Illinois about how the city’s progressive culture influenced Abraham Lincoln’s political views. She wanted to release the 360 video for Lincoln’s birthday. However, instead of recording one long video file, apparently the Gear 360 automatically starts a new video file after 11 minutes and 27 seconds, so she ended up with six separate video files that needed to be combined into one. She was also hoping to overlay some informative text at certain points during the video.
With these goals in mind, I began some preliminary experimentation.
