Start by clicking the Move Images button in order to move the cameras into a proper looking image. Within Giga, you click the Edit button and it opens up all sorts of options. If your image is still looking rather uneven, you can click the “edit” button under the preview to open Autopano Giga and dig into the more in-depth controls it offers. A quick note: whatever is in the center of your preview will be what is the center of your view when the 360° video starts playing, so may sure to rotate the image around and center up what you want to start on. If you want to do some fast adjustments or only have a minor tweak to do, you can do it right in the preview window by clicking and dragging the mouse to rotate things around. But that’s ok because you can easily adjust the position of the video. You can see a preview of what the video will look like now, which will look quite weird and probably will not have a nice straight horizon line. You pick your camera setup (ours most closely matches the GoPro Hero 3+/4 setting) and click Stitch. Once you have your videos synced, you click the Stitch button. Since the videos need to be synced exactly for this to work well, I have used Adobe Premiere to sync them, trim the ends and export each angle as a new clip. From my testing, this feature seems a bit lacking and I have had inconsistent results from it. I can then click the sync button and have it try to sync via audio or motion. It also doesn’t hurt to have a visual marker as well, such as rotating the stand so the cameras spin for a second. The best thing to do is clap your hands so there is an audio marker that can be used to sync the cameras. I then move the playback indicator down the timeline until I get to a point where I think it should be able to sync the videos.

To start, I launch the Autopano Video Pro software and import the 6 streams of video. Autopano Video Pro will allow you to sync and stitch together the videos, while Giga gives you a ton of control over how the videos assemble and stitch together as well as helping to smooth out color and exposure differences between cameras. The software we use for that is Kolor’s Autopano Video Pro with Autopano Giga.
That means that when everything is done, you end up with 6 streams of video that you need to sync up, edit and stitch together into the final video. We at DVS have been digging to the world of 360° video recently, so I wanted to give you an inside look at the process of working with the footage to make that cool looking 360° video. It adds a new interactive facet to a music video, or a neat way to show off some new cars. 360° videos are becoming more and more popular.
