How to use 360 Video for Virtual Production in Live FX!

How to use 360 Video for Virtual Production in Live FX!

In prepping for my all day class on Live FX tomorrow, I decided to create a tutorial on "How to use 360 Video for Virtual Production in Live FX", and thought I'd share the video and the basic steps here on for my LinkedIn friends.

Here is the video:

In the video I use footage from Sim-Plates and PlatePros to demonstrate, but you can use any 360 or cylindrical media in the same way.

It's quite easy to use 360 Video in Live FX and the basic steps are very easy. As in, takes you less than 30 seconds to set it up to projection map, with camera tracking and everything!

Like many things in production, there are advanced workflows and things to keep in mind, so I attempt to show many different workflows and gotchas.


The basic steps

  1. Click on Projection Setup, brows to your clip, make sure that the Media Type is set to Equirectangular 360, the Projection Type is set to Spherical. Select your trackers (if using camera tracking) and press Create.

2. Oh....wait that's all you have to do!
