![]() ![]() Give the project any name that you want, such as “Test 1”.Ĭlick the “Video mode” button to create a video mode with the resolution which you will want your output video to be.īe careful to not forget this step, otherwise you might get an output of another resolution or framerate than what you want and potentially lose quality. In the next row, you have “Project name”. ![]() You can choose another folder if you want to. In the “New Project” folder you can select your “Projects” folder, that’s where it stores the *.mlt project files. If you click on the “Get it from Microsoft” button, that might generate extra expenses, just download the installers from FossHub or Github for free, there are hyperlinks on the page. Then download Shotcut from where you can download it for free, it is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. This also allows you to stabilize your footage with the camera’s gyroscope, if it has one. Steps to get startedįirst of all, convert your videos to the standard format with your camera’s included conversion software. There are also “green screen” or “black screen” options by using the “Chroma Key” and “Alpha Channel” filters.Īs it has 2D 360 stabilization already and the source code is available, in the future it could be possible for it to have 3D 360 and 3D VR180 stabilization. It also has the “360: Rectilinear to Equirectangular” and “360: Hemispherical to Equirectangular” filters that are a must for advanced VR video editing.įor 3D VR180 and 3D 360, for example, text, images, videos, animations can be added that appear to be floating in mid air by using a set of editing tools that are called “filters”. In this tutorial we are going to focus on Shotcut, which does have a graphical user interface.įor 2D 360, Shotcut even has advanced functions such as stabilization (360: Stabilize), recentering the view (360: Transform) and masking yourself out so that you’re not visible in the 360 video (360: Equirectangular Mask). On the downside, the learning curve can be a bit steep, as ffmpeg doesn’t use a graphical user interface (GUI), it works in Powershell (a sort of Command Prompt) or the Linux and Mac equivalent, Terminal. For even more advanced users, there is also a command-line free and open-source video editor called “ffmpeg” that is very powerful, very good for workflow efficiency and for automating video editing. However, there are more advanced video editors such as Shotcut which can help you do pretty good editing for free. The easiest free and open source softwares to use for the most basic video editing are Avidemux and Losslesscut, which can trim videos at what’s called keyframes, merge similar videos losslessly by simply dragging and dropping them in the application window, but these software have fewer features and convenience. ![]() That is because there are free and open-source video editors that can do basic editing of 2D 360 in particular but also limited editing of 3D VR180 and 3D 360, which can be enough for many users’ realistic needs. These video editors are not affordable or cost-effective for everybody, particularly when there are free alternatives for many of their features. The options that are promoted online for editing 3D VR180 or 3D 360 video are usually paid software and pretty expensive, into the hundreds of dollars overall, such as Adobe Premiere, Davinci Resolve, Mistika Boutique or Mistika VR.
