[@HeySkipper]

thank you for all your help with these cameras.

[@BenClaremont]

+Senko Skipper no problem 👊🏻

[@Auriolitos]

You have saved my life. I personally was with Samsung for more than 30 minutes and they had no idea of what my question was... I believed that this software was not for stitching because it was not named as director bla bla... and then I saw your video and felt so relieved!!! I mean, its not an editor software, but I just needed the stitching for editing on premiere pro. You guys save our lives everyday... thanks for taking the time to do this!

[@PremiereGal]

Omg, thank you so much. I use a MAC And thought I couldn't stitch on my computer. Yessss.

[@BenClaremont]

No problemo!

[@PrimalVideo]

Great video mate! Didn't know they had released Mac software - Thanks for creating this video 😀👍

[@BenClaremont]

Cheers Justin, yeah it’s been out for a little while now.. great little app!

[@edwindorian4715]

sorry to be off topic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any tricks you can give me!

[@greymalachi3049]

@Edwin Dorian Instablaster ;)

[@edwindorian4715]

@Grey Malachi Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@edwindorian4715]

@Grey Malachi It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account :D

[@TheManWithTheHat]

Have ordered your book Ben.

[@Techgiant]

Thank you I couldn't figure how to save it I've seen all your videos on his camera Great videos

[@desolateunknown2894]

i can't believe i got this to finally work thank you so much!

[@BenClaremont]

Awesome!

[@MonkeySeeMonkeyKill]

THIS IS AWESOME! Thank you!

[@AbhiIndrarajan]

This is awesome thanks... i'm getting a white small block on the middle of the screen for the video, do you know what i can do to take it away?

[@DePaseoX]

Thank you so much for this video!! Subscribed to your channel!!

[@BenClaremont]

+DePaseoX all good 👍

[@DePaseoX]

How can I edit the 2017 Gear 360 videos in FCPX?

[@reemrazzaq9799]

Thank u Ben.. I always wait for your new videos.. keep it up 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 .. Reem 😊

[@BenClaremont]

No problem my friend!

[@reemrazzaq9799]

After this video.. I'm thinking of getting the 360-17 camera although I still own my fav theta 😊 I want to try something different.

[@BenClaremont]

+REEM RAZZAQ go for it! 4k Theta coming soon too 😉

[@reemrazzaq9799]

Oh boy! 😱 gotta wait then! 😁

[@vincenteverts]

@ben thanks..clear.. you have a lot of talent explaining. Question: Is it now (jan 2018) possible to get the videos through the usb cable? Taking the the SDcard is cumbersome!... thanks!

[@BenClaremont]

Thanks- I haven’t tested that recently but it may be possible. They haven’t really updated either camera however

[@DKGCustom]

Just got one today...and the answer is NO. You still have to take the card out.

[@glennalternative3691]

hey ben, are you still able to upload 360 video to KZbin using the gear 360 in mac computer? it appear that posting to youtube or in facebook is no longer possible.

[@deepopro3809]

Thanks for the video, very useful. Could you please tell me why the share button its disable? I have my file on the timeline but it does not allow me to anything. Thanks

[@tombuck]

This was an absolute lifesaver, thank you so much!

[@BenClaremont]

Happy to hear it!

[@ryanwalker5825]

Super helpful thank you!!!!!!

[@BenClaremont]

+Ryan Walker no worries!

[@JeongwoonEun]

Life in 360 thanks for the advice

[@BenClaremont]

+Jeongwoon Eun 😎

[@GeoElmoGeocaching]

Thank you, this is a great video. What do you recommend for budget-conscious people for editing the video? I had assumed the Gear 360 Mac software would allow trimming video from beginning, middle, or end, but it seems to just stitch and view the videos you create. Thanks in advance!

[@BenClaremont]

Thanks- there are free editors for both Mac and PC.. iMovie is good for Mac, check out 360 Rumors’ channel for a good PC editor 👍

[@GeoElmoGeocaching]

Thank you for your reply. Let me make sure I understand and that I'm being clear. I have a Mac, a2017 Gear 360, and the Mac Gear 360 software. What I'd like to do is take several videos with the Gear 360 and turn them into a KZbin video. I'd like to be able to trim the individual videos, and merge several of those into one video for this channel. So, are you saying I can: 1) record video with the Gear 360; 2) stitch each video with the Mac Gear 360 software; and 3) edit stitched videos (trim, merge, etc.) using iMovie? If so, that's great. Follow up: how do you recommend I upload that to KZbin? Can I just upload it as I do my other videos? Thanks in advance!

[@redbeast13]

This is perfect. I'm curious, once stitched is is possible to bring that and edit within Adobe and work with the 360 footage?

[@BenClaremont]

+Redbeast13 thanks- yes it is 👍

[@ChurumelloCircus]

hey Ben, if the stitching line is too visible for 2016 users like me, i think its better install bootcamp or other way to have windows in a partition of the mac and install the 2016 software for windows.. =/

[@bildmuseet4422]

Thanks for this! Is it possible to make small edits in the Gear 360 software for osx, like simple cuts for example? If not, what mac software do you use for that? iMovie?

[@BenClaremont]

+Bildmuseet hey, no worries.. I use adobe Premiere 👍

[@romeotheater]

Here's a post I wrote about how to bring in this footage and edit with it in Adobe Premiere: samsunggear360mac.weebly.com

[@masterb.1854]

I just went from liking you to loving you. This video and links R super helpful. I tried calling Samsung and Goggle to get hep with the camera and they were useless. YOU are the man.

[@BenClaremont]

+Scott Gardner haha glad to hear it 👊🏻

[@ThePeacemaker123]

Hi there. thanks a lot for your videos, I am watching all of them :-) I have a question: I just bought a Gear 360 and I would like to do all of the work including stitching on my PC. What is the best way to do stitching on PC (Photo AND video)? Thanks a lot!

[@BenClaremont]

Hey- yes there’s free software called Gear 360 Action Director 😎👍

[@nunesgil-3668]

Ben, I download the official version of the action director app but isnt working on my monterey. Could you help us?

[@t4tornado]

Any apps on the market right now to stitch the 360 pics from Samsung gear 360(2016)? Seems like samsung already removed it from app store and the old .apk files doesn't support on new andriod devices.

[@ArchDaily]

Install "android file transfer" and you can connect the camera through the USB cable.

[@LprofeCocina]

i dont find the link to the software, pls can you help me, tnks

[@xx328xxable]

very very good

[@kidsmartcolombia]

Hello Ben, here Felipe from Colombia! I bought a gear 360 (2016) a couple of months ago and I was very frustrated because I´m a Mac user, so, until now all my beginner material had a terrible aspect, due to the resolution of the videos... I was waiting for this announcement and as I´m a big fan of your page I want to thank you so much for keeping us up to date in this amazing world. I hope one day I can do the things you do! Keep on Inspiring us brother! thank you

[@BenClaremont]

Thankyou my friend! Glad my videos have been helpful.. just doing what i can. You might want to consider upgrading to a more Mac friendly 360 camera later in the year, since there are lots of options now :)

[@kidsmartcolombia]

WELL, I¨LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR RECOMENDATIONS THEN! THANK´S BEN

[@emul8us]

how do you share it onto your mac?

[@Deeft]

Can you help me? can you tell me if this camera works on xiaomi devices?

[@mattoliver3502]

Heya! Nice1. Just wondering how come the end quality would be lower when stitched via say a Samsung S8 rather than this software? Cheers!

[@BenClaremont]

Thanks- mobile phones sometimes reduce the quality because they don't always have as much computing power as well.. a computer. The newer the phone, the better the footage will look :)

[@MrLecvip]

+LIFE in 360 Cool! Thanks for the video! In this new stitch software - is it possible to turn off the intelligent stitching and choose static stitching instead to avoid that wobbling thing you can see in the seams when things move around the cam?

[@BenClaremont]

+Ulf Brusquini no problem! Unfortunately not yet.. I really hope they solve this problem asap..

[@MrLecvip]

+Life in 360 OK! Thanks!

[@RADIMIDIALuizLau]

Hi! I thought only the Gear 360 ActionDirector was sewing. And as there is no Action Director for Mac, I thought there was no sewing on the Mac. But according to you Gear360 does this job of sewing the images. There was a doubt in the workflow. If connecting the camera through the USB cable is it possible to transfer the bi-circular images and after sewing in the Gear 360? Thank you!

[@BenClaremont]

+RADIMIDIA LIVE you need to back up the unstitched footage via card reader first 👍

[@msahau]

thanks for the video. I have a question about other software. I tried to run NR software on 360 pics, unfortunately after that, Gear 360 Mac software refuse to recognize the picture anymore..... any clue on how to run standard photo enhancement software and retain the 360 properties ?

[@BenClaremont]

+Samuel Hau my guess is you've lost the metadata. I made a tutorial on that- look through my channel for 'Facebook won't recognize my 360 photos' 👍

[@rjaramilloc]

Hello, what alternative for mac m1 processor?

[@xx328xxable]

thanks you

[@BenClaremont]

+ken chan 👍🏻👌🏻🤜🏻

[@Gotsta]

any advice on how to do it nowadays with the fact the app is not working anymore >?

[@orcinoman]

Hi Ben! What program would you recommend for recording tiny planet videos or exporting hi-res tiny planet photos on a Mac (using stitched footage from a Gear 360 2016)

[@BenClaremont]

+orcinoman hey- check out my Insta360 Studio tutorial, as well as my many tiny planet tutorials on my channel 👍👍👍

[@AmandaCavaleri]

Hi Ben is there a way to delete videos from the Gear 360 App for Mac? I'd love to clean up / organize, but can't find a way to delete old videos. Thanks for your help!

[@BenClaremont]

+Amanda Cavaleri no worries- you should be able to right click and delete

[@Supramonk]

is there anything relevant that I can use now a days with my 360 gear 2017

[@Summboddi]

I love you for this Subscribed

[@BenClaremont]

🤙🏻

[@Summboddi]

Hey, I have a question, what 360 video editor do you use that's free? I remember you saying it in one of your videos and I forget which video and what the program is called, please tell me.

[@BenClaremont]

Veer

[@nic_yt]

Thanks for the video! If i use the software to upload straight to youtube, will the video be 360 on youtube or is it flat? :) Thanks!

[@BenClaremont]

+Nicholas N no worries- and yeah, it should inject the 360 metadata 👌🏻

[@inzsights]

B! so basically Samsung left us, the ones who believed in the 360gear 2016? I mean, as iOS user there's only Google Street right? And then, for Mac, this software that is not meant for the 2016? Do we have any other option? Dyou know?

[@marcusluise6660]

Has the software for the gear 360 2016 editing on mac improved at all? I see there was an update to it on may 18th 2018 about a year after this video.

[@BenClaremont]

To be honest I haven’t tested it- what was the update?

[@karanchauhan7316]

Hey Ben, Any idea on if we can take out single lens video from the 360 video once the video has been taken ? Any software or a workaround for it ?

[@BenClaremont]

Well yeah you can just reframe it as you would any 360 photo or video

[@huntcompanies9979]

I do not see the link to the software. Has it become unavailable? Thank you.

[@tizianopilustri8157]

Hi. thanks for the video! I have a question... I shot a 9 minutes long video (on the 2017 camera), the issue I'm having is that my Mac takes ages (2 hours more or less) to stitch it with that software and the fans start spinning straight away.. is that normal?

[@BenClaremont]

+Tiziano Pilustri yes it is unfortunately.. especially if you have a small amount of Ram/graphics card

[@roly43poly81]

hey got a idea for you. i am doing the gear 360 2017 using a gyro for horizontal, and on a long pole.angled so its angled more above then down, (important for gyro to work with pc stiching) if gear goes below horizon angle the angle agresifly shifts. having huge options with for example little planet. you wnat to try it out? basiclay gear on long pole , sorta monopod, and hold it at the end high but not vertical

[@BenClaremont]

+Roly43 Poly sounds interesting!

[@pl8329]

Thank you so much! How would you saved the stiched file so that you can edit it together with other clips? I only have the options to share to FB or KZbin =(

[@BenClaremont]

+Philip lemoine it saves automatically to your computer- just look for it :)

[@WagnerRosaStudio]

So are the auto-stitched videos in 4K? Or just preview quality (like premier working files).

[@tjm52071]

where do you find the Gear 360 app ? I can find it on my iPhone, but not on my mac.

[@BenClaremont]

Follow the link in the description on your mac

[@bobbymounts]

I can download the videos onto my phone but cannot stitch them? States there is not enough space to stitch? I even deleted everything except a 3 second video and have 30 gigs of free space? Is there some work around?

[@mahmoodeslami3283]

thank you

[@BenClaremont]

+mahmood eslami ✌🏻

[@SteveNilsen]

Thanks for a good and informative video. I have some questions, If I want to edit a video on the MAC, to cut the start/end a bit, how do I do that and also keeping the metadata correct, so it will display properly on facebook/youtube. Anty tips?

[@BenClaremont]

Hey Steve, I'm actually in the process of putting together a big, long 360 video course that teaches the full workflow, so stay tuned for that. There's lots of steps and not that easy to explain in a message lol

[@erinkirby3]

Totally understand that there are lots of steps to editing this footage on premiere, Is this workflow video still happenin?

[@romeotheater]

I wrote a post outlining I think what you are looking for. Hope it helps! samsunggear360mac.weebly.com

[@benjaminkhoo2772]

Why i use Gear 360 ActionDirector can no converter to MP4 to asc file. Become MP4 file,

[@MarcosDantasFotografo]

hi there Ben! how about Muvee 360 video Stitcher?? Have you heard of it?? I found it, while I was desperatelly searching for an alternative for the "Expensive K" solution for 360 video stitching... since I could not get any satisfying results from the samsung software.

[@BenClaremont]

+Marcos Dantas I’ve heard of it but never used it.. I’m sure it’s decent 👍

[@jackhanoka7749]

Could you help me find the latest version of the Gear Director for Windows? Thanks Jack

[@BenClaremont]

+Jack Hanoka there should be a link on my 'Gear 360 2017' review 👍

[@gomac5]

Super! Is there also a stitching program for PC? (Windows 7)

[@BenClaremont]

Yeah, Gear 360 Action Director is the PC software :)

[@jesswen7485]

This was such a useful video, thank you! How do you recommend creating 360 videos with multiple shots? Can you do that in the free software?

[@BenClaremont]

+Daring To Jess no problemo 😎 you'll need to edit in a program like Adobe Premiere.. if you want a free editor, you'll have to use iMovie or whatever else you can find. To my knowledge though the free editors aren't as 360 friendly, so prepare for headaches. Otherwise if you're on Android, use the Collect app, as I mentioned in my longer review 👍

[@jesswen7485]

Great, I'll give it a go! Thanks for your help :)

[@tiagocp2]

if you have an android you can also use the V360 for simple multiple footage 360.. !

[@jesswen7485]

That's great! Problem is that I have a Samsung Gear 360 but not a compatible Samsung phone so I have to work with a computer workflow...

[@ricdaguiar]

Hey Ben, great videos, thanks a million man. I wonder if you had any trouble with the gear 360 desktop app on your macs. I cannot get it to work. Bugs and bugs, tried 2 different machines, system requirements match wht samsung describes as minimum... I install the software alright, but when I import videos, even short ones, the app runs and when it's done, the video is all glithes and weird colors - audio is good though (weird). Anything you would recommend? (re-install, tried, no good).

[@BenClaremont]

I haven’t heard of this unfortunately.. try asking in the Gear 360 Facebook group 👍

[@ricdaguiar]

thanks!

[@Englishwithbeatrice]

Just one question... What size do you record in when it is on video? 2880 x 1440 (30fps)? For example. By the way... thank you for this tutorial... I was going to take my Gear 360 back because I didnt know how to use it... Thank you.. from Spain.

[@BenClaremont]

No problem! I shoot at 4k with both cameras 👍

[@avia4281]

Hello, do you know how to make an hdri map for 3d modeling in keyshot with gear 360 2017?

[@BenClaremont]

No idea sorry

[@ScottHibberson]

Thanks for the vid Ben - works a treat. Quick question - I'm using a Mac and want to upload a normal video to KZbin with a small part of it opening up as a 360 video on KZbin. Is this possible? I've edited the video using iMovie and uploaded to KZbin but the 360 section just appears as a flat image. If I focus solely on the 360 video it works fine in KZbin, just not when mixed with a normal video. Any advice appreciated.

[@BenClaremont]

Hi Scott, unfortunately you can’t yet mix 360 and non 360 video

[@ScottHibberson]

Thanks Ben, I thought this was probably the case. Good to have it confirmed though.

[@ssuscategui]

Hi Ben, thanks for the video! I am editing some footage but the final video comes with two nadirs. One appears on the top side of the Video and the other is opposite where the tripod is. How can I get rid of them? Thank you!

[@BenClaremont]

+galactic star no worries! This tells me that your timeline is at the wrong resolution.. make sure it's the same dimensions as your footage 👍

[@elearningunit3371]

Fantastic, thanks a lot!!!!

[@ivancastillo7]

I have problems editing on premiere cc 2018 on MAC. What requirements does my MAC need to edit 360 videos? I have the samsung gear 360 / 2017 camera. Thank you and great video!

[@BenClaremont]

+Edgar Iván Castillo Gómez I’d suggest a minimum of 16GB Ram- I have a video coming soon that will show a way to speed up the workflow significantly 👍

[@ivancastillo7]

Thank you!!!!!! (y)

[@shawngordon9830]

after photos are stitched automatically using the Gear360 app, can i save them into my iphoto album and see it in 360?

[@BenClaremont]

+Shawn gordon you'll need a 360 viewer aka the program you stitch it in 👍

[@alabrrmrbmmr]

Thanks again for all the work you do, I'm learning a lot. Subscribed! I just downloaded the link you have for the gear360 Mac and it installs Gear360 and mm gear360 mtp but they don't open properly. Have you had any problems like this before? I can't find any solutions and spent 2 hours on the phone with Samsung yesterday. They couldn't help!

[@BenClaremont]

+James Hart no problem! Nah I haven't experienced that unfortunately.. are you sure your computer has enough RAM and a fast enough graphics card?

[@thenameismaxful]

hey did you ever figure this out? I am having the same issue...

[@livelovelivelovelive]

Hello! I'm having the same issue as well. Can you tell me/us where to find the RAM/graphics specs to see if the computer has the capability to run the app? Thanks!

[@alabrrmrbmmr]

No, unfortunately not. I'm using a workaround. I'm transferring all files wirelessly to my phone and then loading them onto my mac, finally I import them into fcpx to edit them using VR toolkit plugin. It works but it takes many steps and much patience. I hope that helps.

[@livelovelivelovelive]

Thank you for your reply, James. Are you using an Android or an iphone? Which program are you using? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to exhaust all options before having to return the camera. Thanks.

[@rafacho16]

Hello, I've tried to install the software on my mac mini and says that no have compatible VGA to install this application, I have connected my mac via HDMI. Should it be for that?

[@BenClaremont]

This means your graphics card is too old/slow for 4K footage

[@C82929]

I have been struggling to edit 360 for past few weeks as I bought Adobe Premiere Pro CC... I just downloaded the software but it keeps crashing on my Mac osx.

[@BenClaremont]

+Cristina I my guess is you have a computer with not enough RAM, graphic card etc. 4k video takes a long time to process even on the faster machines, so if you have less than 32GB ram and a 4GB graphics card, life is going to be difficult unfortunately

[@zwiftfpv6304]

@@BenClaremont thank you so much for posting this reply. now i have just upgraded my ram

[@jerrydeanswanson79]

Thanks for your videos. I have learned much. I bought my Gear 360 for $49.00 in Samsung's offer with the purchase of my Galaxy S8+. Am having a blast experimenting with it.I just shot some 360 views inside the USS Cobia Sub at the Manitowoc, WI Maritime Museum. Nice. Working on the editing as we speak. What great fun the camera is.So...my brother is a Phantom Drone semi-expert user and we would like to attach my 360 to his drone. He now uses his GoPro for imaging and would like to try the Gear 360. The camera attaches upside-down below the drone. How would we flip the video when editing?

[@Ali-94]

hi I use Insta360 One I have a problem I can not merge video lenses Because the picture goes out every shot of a lens alone Please answer please

[@BenClaremont]

I don’t understand.. have you downloaded the footage to the app?

[@GeloOfficialPR]

Life In 360 I got a question! Is it possible to record in 360 and then use only 180 degrees of the video. Let me explain. I prefer to record in 360 instead of 180 ,just to get everything in the scene, BUT if i only want 180 degree i need to put the gear 360 in 180 mode . If so far i have made any sense with this . In the end i want to extract one of the camera 180 from the 360 footage and get the same result as the 180 mode. Please if this is possible do a video about it.

[@BenClaremont]

Yes you can, and i already made a video. Look for 'Insta360 Studio - FULL Tutorial' in my videos :)

Hello, is it possible to stitch two separate pictures from a single fish eye lens into a 360 pic? something like one pic in daytime at the same spot and other at night time and to combine them into a 360 to make a half day half night sorta picture? :)

[@BenClaremont]

+questpk the best way to do that is take two separate pictures, stitch them, then combine them later 👍

hmm i tried some stitching s/w and it overlaps the two pictures. would be great if you can make short tutorial on this. Thanks for the reply.

Hello a tutorial very interesting, my problem is how to convert and export the file for use in FCPX. Knowing that I have a Mac and that the Software Samsung do not suggest that. A few days that I am looking for the solution on google is my friend apparently the only alternative is to install Windows on a Mac to use the software? Thank you

[@BenClaremont]

+Dreams world Tour this method allows you to use the footage in FCPX 🙂

[@dreamsworldtour7090]

Thank you, I found the answer to my problem in made the soft 360° gear automatically generates the converted file when it is important to the file indicated in the preferences. I mastered more the side photography and not too the video and not too tutorials in French to understand the technical side and having started the video in discovering the software voila that now I added the 360° video and there is a lack of the bases I think. Sincerely Sébastien

Where is the link to the software?

[@fakeshocker]

Is stitching produces better quality video if made in AutoPano or somewhere else instead of Action Director, or does it not matter?

[@BenClaremont]

+Edgar Kazak Channel doesn't matter so much since it's doing the same thing 👍

[@iamnotapoet]

Thanks for the great 360 videos. I am trying to find download link for the Mac software for the 2017 Gear 360 and can't find it on Samsung's site and don't see a link in the notes for this video? At 1:05 in your video you say there is a download link in the notes, but i can't see it. Can you reply with a download link? Thanks much. -- Eric ZORK Alan [ Professional Poet & Bed Vlogger]

[@BenClaremont]

+iamnotapoet no problem! Yes I have a download link in the description.. where all my social media handles are etc. if you're viewing on mobile you'll need to 'expand' the description to see it 👍

[@iamnotapoet]

Thanks... I'm an idiot... I saw the links to cameras and should have read more slowly and carefully. Do you have thoughts on if the different in resolution for the Gear 360 [2017] is substantially better than the Insta360 Nano for video? That is the one i use now? And have you been able to find out from Yi if their $399 360 Camera will come with stitching software. I know 4 is in camera, but they are being very unclear on how 5.7k video will be stitched and if they will be providing the Mac software with the $399 camera. What are your words of wisdom on Insta360 vs Gear360 video and if Yi 360 will be switchable on Mac [for free ] in 5.7k? Thanks for all the videos. -- Eric ZORK Alan [ Professional Poet & Bed Vlogger]

[@60sec_ital_les]

Nice video, thanks. I just got a (2nd hand) Gear 360 2017: it works alright but the serial number is NOT recognized :( So I cannot us the program on my Mac. Is there a way to make it work? (I know support has been discontinued after just 3 years... scandalous!) If there's no solution I'll return it to the seller...

[@Kombo-Chapfika]

I just tried the app linked in the description on my macbook Pro. It intalls a program called SS_Gear360_MTP which doesn't prompt me to activate, or do much of anything really. I got a Samsung Gear 360 2017 this morning. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

[@BenClaremont]

+Kombo Chapfika did you download on desktop? There shouldn’t be any issues

[@Kombo-Chapfika]

The link in the description downloads Gear360Mac_0427_signed.pkg which installs SS_Gear360_MTP app. I found a link, on the Samsung support site I think, for Gear360Mac_0615.pkg which installs the working Gear360 app as in the video.

[@doeordie2000]

Do you know if it works with the Galaxy J series?

[@BenClaremont]

Not sure sorry

[@calfinearts9987]

Where can you get the app again? Apparently that link just leads you to Amazon to buy the latest version of Gear 360.

[@BenClaremont]

The product link does of course.. you need to click the software link

[@DESSIEWISLEY]

when i went to download software it said you do not have compatible VGA to install this application??

[@BenClaremont]

+Dessie Wisley this means your computer is too old and slow to handle 4k footage, and the graphics card isn't fast enough

[@EdwinvantHek]

Hi, what would be the best method if I only want to stitch photos and have individual photos as output. I can import all my photos in actiondirector but the only output is mp4 and I want the images.

[@BenClaremont]

+Edwin van 't Hek sorry but I have no idea about Action Director as I'm on Mac. In this software you can do it, and in the smartphone app you can do it 👍

[@EdwinvantHek]

Yes in the Smartphone app I can do it but I would like to get some software for the PC to do it :-) From the Samsung double spherical images to a normal 360 foto, any suggestions?

[@DKGCustom]

So what stitcher has a more manual approach. You had another video using Premier to stitch, but the plugin is now defunct

[@BenClaremont]

If you want to stitch manually you’ll need to buy third party software like Mistika VR or Kolor. But why go to all that trouble when you can do it for free in a program like this, or the camera’s app?

[@DKGCustom]

As with most things 360, when you move to the next level, the price factor leaps too...exponentially.

[@morpheuz2006]

HELLO NICE WORK... How can i edit the 360 videos in FCPX? any tutorial workflow? my fcpx crash when i import the video.. I get the video in /Users/NAMEOFUSER/Documents/CyberLink/Gear360/1.0

[@BenClaremont]

+Jorge Teixeira sorry but I've never used FCPX! Do you have a lot of RAM and a fast graphics card? Often those things are the solution to crashing while editing 4k footage

[@morpheuz2006]

thanks.. i try others file and now i can edit 360 footage .. :D

[@hugocorona]

Hello Ben. Thanks for this video. I bought the camera last week and just your video helped me a lot to install the program since the PC doesn´t work as well, but I have an issue. Once it stitches the video, it goes all bananas and makes like a glitch video and that´s all I can see. I can see both cameras when I upload the video, but once is rendered, goes glitch. Any idea why?

[@BenClaremont]

+Hugo Corona hey Hugo- I've never used the PC software but my guess is it's to do with your computer's hardware not being fast enough

[@hugocorona]

Also happens on Mac. But yeah, maybe that should be.

[@BenClaremont]

+Hugo Corona what do you mean you can see both cameras? This suggests you haven't stitched the footage.. are you sure you followed the tutorial correctly?

[@hugocorona]

Yes. I followed it and once the stitch is done, always does the glitch. Maybe your theory of the hardware is right. I will try it on a more powerful to see if that´s the problem.

[@Dez2891]

Hey Ben, great stuff. Stupid question, my Mac is a mid 2012 macbook. will I have an issue with doing this stuff because the computer is too old? cheers

[@Dez2891]

I guess i just got my own answer, software cannot be install because of unsupported VGA :(

[@BenClaremont]

Yeah you need a fast graphics card to work with 4k of any kind

[@Dez2891]

oh how i love this rabbit hole of technology, time to upgrade this, time to upgrade that

[@lauraborges8510]

How can I connect the Gear 360 2017 to a Mac and Live Stream?

[@BenClaremont]

+Laura Resende Hey- check out my review of that camera.. I tried, although it definitely wasn't easy!

[@jeffcolon4974]

I got the app but when i import my video it doesn't begin to render and work on transforming the clip. So basically the app is just a viewing station. Did I do something wrong?

[@BenClaremont]

+Jeff Colón in order to view previews, it needs to stitch first.. if you look for the save location I bet you'll find the stitched files 👍

[@motojavs]

Great video. when I tried to download and install the software on my MacBook pro, it tells me I don't have VGA compatible to install the application. Do you know what this means?

[@BenClaremont]

+motojavs thanks- yes this means your computer is too old and slow and the graphics card ain't good enough ☹️

[@motojavs]

LIFE in 360 thanks for the reply. time to get a new MacBook. lol

[@BenClaremont]

+motojavs yeah lol

[@Marco_Balbi]

Thank you very much for the tutorial. I have just one problem: I don't know how delete / elimate photos / videos from the app. Can you help me? Thanks.

[@BenClaremont]

+Marco Balbi right click > delete 👍

[@Marco_Balbi]

Thank you. Unfortunately, this seems not to work on my MacBook Air... :-(

[@danielalves1983]

Hi Marco, i had the same problem! What the specs of your macbook?

[@Marco_Balbi]

Hi Daniel. MacBook Air 13 inch, early 2014.

[@danielalves1983]

Hi Marco, i solved my problem just creating new user on may mac.

[@garrettnantz3293]

Hey Ben, have you noticed that the Gear 360 app adds some odd warping and "breathing" to the stitching process? I have several shots on a tripod and the footage actually twists and moves in and out slightly over time. It is especially noticeable by the nadir where the tripod actually looks like it is growing and shrinking over time. All footage is shot on the Samsung Gear 360 2017 edition. AutoPano and Muvee 360 don't have this issue?

[@BenClaremont]

+Garrett Nantz hey Garrett, yes I have! If you watch my review of the camera I noticed this as a major issue.. it's like the stitching adjusts to subtle movement. Big mistake from Samsung. At the moment the only way to fix it is stitching manually as you suggested.

[@garrettnantz3293]

Ben, I must have been so excited when you announced in your video that there was a Mac version for Gear 360 stitching that I missed this issue you raised. Thanks for your response.

[@BenClaremont]

+Garrett Nantz yeah you might want to re-watch it.. I think if you keep your movement on just one side of the camera it will avoid this. But that's a lot to ask, probably too much. Another solution is stitching in Premiere with the dashwood plugin 👍

[@garrettnantz3293]

Ben, thanks for the advice. Based on my frustration with the imperfect Samsung Gear 360 app, I did find out how to make an AutoPano template for the Samsung Gear 360 2017. Be happy to share it if you would like to download and use.

[@XOXOplays]

How to Export 360 after stitching? there is only option to share to facebook youtube and single frame how to export whole stiched 360 video?

[@BenClaremont]

+Kashif Dop please rewatch the video- I explain where the save location is 😉

[@XOXOplays]

yes but i am only able to save the Picture/frame / from video how to render or save video after stitching ? thanks

[@BenClaremont]

+Kashif Dop again, watch it again. The program saves it automatically to a folder on your computer.

[@XOXOplays]

thanks again for replying ....still i am having issue for saving exporting video there is nothng in output folder the only thing i can export is 360 image capture and there is no auto saved stiched videos in output folder ... can you help how i do export the stichted video to save file on my computer

[@BenClaremont]

+Kashif Dop again, you don't need to export, you need to find where it was exported to. Go the the finder, search All my files, and by date to find them.
