The correction is automatic, so all we need to do is click “Compute D.WARP.” This process may take a bit of time depending on your clip and computer speed.įinally, we can move to rendering out our 360° video by selecting the Render tab. The one we want to use is Prioritize Space, which will try to correct as many parallax artifacts as possible.
D.WARP offers three settings options: Prioritize Space, Prioritize Time, and Still.
The D.WARP tab uses unique parallax compensation technology, which helps correct seamlines even more - particularly on shots that involve action close to the camera. D.WARPĭ.WARP is one of the newest settings integrated into AutoPano Video Pro. This setting can make a seamline more apparent, but it can also be cleaner when you use it with the next setting: D.WARP. I personally prefer sharp blending, which acts more like a hard edge between clips.
If you’re pressed for time, smooth blending may be your best option. The clips overlay each other at the edges however, this can often lead to ghosting on shots where the camera is moving (or if there is too much movement around the camera). Smooth blending acts more like an opacity fade from one clip to the other. There are two main types: smooth and sharp. This determines the type of blend between our stitched video clips. The next settings tab we are going to look at is the Blend tab. (In my example, the camera facing directly into the sun looks a bit washed out.) We can fix this under the Color tab, where you will see a variety of correction types. This can lead to some areas of the video looking out of place. Quite often, the white balance and exposure will differ on the various cameras for 360 footage.

Full Stabilization will try to get rid of all unwanted movement and keep the horizon level and static. Settings like Fast Motions Only will stabilize the 360° video while also allowing for some natural rotation and movement. Under the stabilization tab, settings include stabilization amount, which ranges from Fast Motions Only to Full Stabilization. Now we can move on to stabilization by clicking the Stab tab on the top menu. After the stitch is complete, you will see a real-time preview of the stitched 360° video, and you can level out the horizon line just by clicking and dragging on the image.

From there just click stitch, and AutoPano Video Pro will automatically stitch the clips. From there, you can select various camera options and if you would prefer the stitch analysis to take place at one position in time or analyze multiple positions (which is ideal for moving 360 shots). The next step is the stitching, which you can select with the Stitch tab at the top. In my case, since I was using the GoPro Omni, all of the cameras synced by default. (This will examine all of your clips and align them based on your preference.) I typically prefer audio synchronization, but if you didn’t record any audio, you can synchronize using motion. You will then get the option to synchronize your clips using audio or motion. If you are using a DIY camera rig, or a rig that doesn’t start all of the cameras at the same time, then just click the Synchro button at the top. The first step is synchronizing your shot together. So they act as an easy-to-follow guide for the stitching process. One great aspect of AutoPano Video Pro is that it has all of the adjustment settings right at the top - in the order we will need to use them. Once the program launches, all we need to do is drag and drop our clips to get started.
AutoPano Video Pro is the industry standard for stitching 360° footage and is popular among many VR filmmakers. In this tutorial, I am going to be use AutoPano Video Pro 3.0 to stitch my 360° video. In my case today, I am stitching footage from six GoPros. Once you stitch them, no matter how many cameras you used, the footage will be in the same equirectangular format. Other setups may include three, four, or really any number of cameras. It could be anywhere from just one dual lens camera (like a Samsung Gear 360 or Ricoh Theta S) to multiple-camera system setups like the GoPro Omni that consists of six cameras. The number of cameras it takes to create a 360° equirectangular image can differ. (It is the same format as a world map, which is a sphere made to look flat.) You can see distortion at the top and bottom of the image, which would be the pole areas on a sphere. Once 360° is stitched, it is usually going to be in a format called equirectangular.
