Nov 10, 2017  The same photo as above, but stitched properly! We can use this everywhere. If you’ve tried uploading unstitched photos to 360 viewers like Momento360, you’ve probably noticed that things don’t look quite right. When you export photos/videos using the Gear360 smartphone app, it does this step (called stitching) when it saves to your camera roll.

As VR videos are shot by specific cameras, the original material needs to be stitched to be one playable VR video.

Today, we are going to teach you how to stitch videos starting from Samsung Gear 360. Here is an example of what the video looks like in dual-fisheye mode, right after you shot it.

The Dual-fisheye mode

In order to edit it, you will need to download (or use the camera-attached CD) and install the editing software that exclusively designed for Gear 360 – Gear 360 ActionDirector.
