VR180 & 360 Video Editing Masterclass: Deflicker, AI Tripod Remove, Color Grade for Meta Quest 3

[@lensflareclips]

there is no better source for professional VR production tutorials like High Hou's channel. We have used small VR cameras like the Insta 360 EVO and Madventure 360 as a "bonus" in addition to our classic music videos and sometimes used them for live shows. We are currently testing the Canon R5C with the VR180 lens to integrate 8k60 VR180 production to our service catalogue. It's a long way to go, until you reach a workflow during the shooting and also in post production. Also the quality isn't 100% there yet, even in 8k60. A lot of optimization is needed to get a sharp image, especially using the Canon R5c/VR180 combination. Nevertheless, any video from this channel is a gift to the VR movie making industry.

[@hughhou]

Thank you! We are getting there. Canon R5C is what we use and the color science is the best so far in VR. All the problem you pointed out is noted. While Canon is actively adjusting this (they are slow) we also have solution slowly roll out next year to make VR creators' life easier.

Your videos are great, a lot of effort. Your channel definitely deserves more subscribers! Greetings from Turkey.

[@hughhou]

Glad you like them! I hope so too!

Great Video again !!! Thx

[@hughhou]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@captteemo9133]

I would love to also get an update on upframing: When in the process you use it, which software and what settings, what to be aware of etc.

[@hughhou]

Upframe you mean 30 to 60fps? I use Twixtor and Resolve also has a great free plugin to do so. For Topaz, it default CHROMA (I might spell it wrong) is pretty good. As long as it don't over do it.

[@captteemo9133]

@@hughhou Thank you :)

[@JustThyce]

Thank you so much for such detailed video! Learning a lot from your content! I've been watching some videos and heavily using Premiere Pro but since I saw your video on DaVinci I've been wondering if it would be better to make a change, you just gave me the final confirmation :) Can't wait to put this knowledge into practice! Thanks bro!!!

[@hughhou]

You're so welcome!

[@sujitchachad]

Awesome tutorial. looking forward for the next part. I have a question which machine do you recommend for this workflow? it seems like you are using apple product. Thank you in advance.

[@hughhou]

I use both but my next color grading tutorial will require a PC or very expensive setup on Mac - coming out Wednesday! I will explain more in great choices

[@the-retro-center-espanol]

thank you very much!!!

[@hughhou]

You're welcome!

[@guillermonippermedia5595]

They removed the 3D!!!!! i can't remove the tripod febrary 2024!!! Were is this Spherical thing with AI?????

[@suannes5031]

I am having this same issue. Would love to know how to re-enable or add it to photoshop. @hughhou please help

[@pedzsan]

I have what might be a slightly unrelated question: I shot video with Canon R5C and Canon’s dual fisheye VR lens. But, I’d like make a video that normal viewers would watch. I call this a monoscopic “flat” normal render. I can’t figure out in Premiere Pro how to do that. Can you tell me how to do that?

[@hughhou]

You want 2D reframe out of VR180? You can first use VR projection to convert it into mono like this tutorial. Render it out and then use GoPro FX Reframe plugin to reframe it in to social media or 16:9 video

[@시아-i5t]

We'll be in touch. I don't speak English very well. I'm using a translator, but if you want to shoot a video like that exactly what camera model and lens do I need to shoot a video like that?

[@SebaBertoni]

🙏

[@YGershteyn]

Very interesting and new. I always try to learn something useful for myself from your lessons. And although I am not a professional and 8K Canon cameras are not available to me, I try to apply your shooting and editing techniques for my simple 360 and 180 VR cameras. I would like to ask if you use Photoshop to extend the tripod when shooting video for daytime 360 frames in full light.

[@hughhou]

Yes I use Photoshop to remove everything I don't want in frame

[@brentmcculloch]

Do you have a video where you talk about doing shake stabilization in VR180 footage?

[@hughhou]

Yes here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYa7on6qp7RqmLMsi=vsJ26AUNMzCYApKZ

[@marcusdamberger]

​@@hughhouWould you do shake stabilization before, first before following your tutorial presented here? Or afterwards? i.e. once everything is edited, color graded etc. I'm just getting into VR180 with my Calf camera; your videos are so helpful and well produced. I love watching them!

[@captteemo9133]

Btw are those highly visible artifacts that separate the video into 3 squares by brighter areas compression artifacts of youtube? Or something else?

[@hughhou]

Sorry what do you mean by that?

[@brianbracherphotography]

Hi Hugh - I need some help re 360 images in VR. I use 3DVista for creating tours and now branching into VR tours. When test ThetaZ1 images with Quest2 the scale seems all wrong, everything seems too big. I am told that’s just the way it is - but is it? Do different cameras have different results? I also use Sony Full Frame with Samyang 12mm. Woukd love your advice and / or video on this. Thanks

[@captteemo9133]

Do you recommend to upframe (30→120fps) 8K3D before Resolve in Topaz or for the final cutted video with Topaz?

[@hughhou]

I never do 120fps unless I can shoot at 120fps - upframe that much will create artifacts

[@swiftdetecting]

Do you have version so can do all this in Divinci only ? including sorting out all the files etc

[@hughhou]

Yes, my older resolve series already cover all of those and more in this topic. The series even it is 3 years old but still pretty much the same as Resolve VR workflow did not change. It might change tho but the update might be in 19 not in 18 so we need to wait.

[@Namik.33-6]

Can i use davinci resolve directly after exporting from EOS VR Utility ? i dont have premiere pro or eos utility for premiere

[@hughhou]

Yes. We have ton of tutorial on this channel about this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKjSm6Kwjtdpbq8

[@EaglEyeFilms]

thanks for the helpful insight :) On your moderation set, what is the difference 360° Camera right next to the Insta OneRS 1 Inch? I've never seen it before. Keep up the great content :)

[@hughhou]

That is a Meta camera - what I used to shoot the Rome At Night series at ISO 6400 60fps mono 360 video. You will learn more in the color series coming next as I will need the dynamic range to demo color grading. lol.

[@sadranyi]

3D was removed from the latest 2024 update what options do we have ?

[@hughhou]

In which software? I did not see it removed.

[@sadranyi]

@@hughhou Adobe Photoshop 2024

[@sadranyi]

@@hughhou the latest Version

[@martinsancri6420]

Same problem here, Photoshop removed it

[@sadranyi]

@@martinsancri6420 yes I had to go back to the previous version to remove my tripod version 24.X

[@Camscaper]

Thank you for this wonderful video!! I've been trying to find a way to insert a 3D rectangular video into a vr180 video. And trying to make a vr180 composition in After Effects for vr180 motion graphics, any suggestions?

[@hughhou]

Fusion is your best tool for old school 3D to VR180 3D - have you check this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKjSm6Kwjtdpbq8

[@captteemo9133]

Hey Hugh :) I tried your ProRes tip with Insta360 Pro 2 but it takes over 5 hours with a RTX4090 (not laptop gpu) to stitch a 14min 8K3D36030fps video and the result takes up over 500gb of space. For MP4 H265 max bitrate I go with far less than an hour and just 15-20gb total... I have set it to slowest/max quality in Stitcher. When I upframe with topaz the result is 10% of the file size even though it's now a higher framerate. What am I doing wrong? Especially the filesize problem bothers me... not being able to use hardware encoding with an 4090 is not cool to but why are the files sooo huge. 535gb for 15min video? And why same thing on topaz just 1/10th of the size? Furthermore it takes also longer in Topaz: 10,6h (h265→av1) instead of 6 hours (prores→prores)...you said it'll be faster?

[@hughhou]

Wait topaz is faster in ProRes to ProRes or HEVC to AV1? Which one is faster? I never test Topaz sweet for file format - I just always work with ProRes or DNxHR and never work with HEVC as editing format. As HEVC is delivery format not editing format

[@123flexxx]

Hey ​@@hughhou I have also a PRO 2. Which program should I use to stitching 8k 60fps (upframe) videos with ProRes Codec for the best result. It's soooo hard 🤯 I have RTX 3090.

[@ASKYOGI]

You are genius...do you recommend realsee of real estate or matterport.. And can realsee content be hosted on private server and be seen using quest 2 or 3?? Please respond

[@hughhou]

I use Realsee but Matterport is great too. I just think they are way too expensive for what it can do. But if you use private server - learn my other approach is better - custom DSLR with fisheye and nodal head
