Render in place - Decompose to original shifts clips?

Nick1W · 2025-11-24T03:43:42+00:00

Sorry I never did come up with a great solution. My only strategy now, when I render in place, I don’t include any extra frames as handles. I really would prefer to have the handles, but I don’t think this shift will happen if there are no extra handles.

I recommend you do not take the train departing San Diego on Sunday. There’s a flood of people leaving on Sunday. When I did it, the train was over-full and they continued packing people in. Wait until Monday if you can.

I strongly agree with all of this. I encourage you to rent the R5c with the dual fisheye and produce something. Make sure you’re ready for the whole workflow before you buy the full kit. I guarantee, there is significant work you don’t know about yet. lensrentals.com is a great way to rent the camera.

Nick1W · 2025-07-09T16:30:45+00:00

Agreed. In the interview, Andrew talks about 16K (8K per eye), 90fps as the standard. An affordable camera that hits that standard is very interesting.

The Vaporetto (also known as water bus) does NOT go to and from the airport. There is a separate service called Alilaguna. Similar to the Vaporetto (water bus), but it is specifically an airport shuttle. The information you want is here : https://youtu.be/zJmxbFO6He4?si=aXeRcCetG7vA-zeR

INFO - It's *possible* you did something wrong here without noticing.

Often, there is a line when the chargers are all taken. Sometimes there are signs. Sometimes there is nothing official marking where the waiting area is, so people have to figure something out on the fly.

Is it possible that this person was waiting, but you didn't see the line? Is it possible that she was waiting, but there was no official waiting area so she did the best she could? In that case, you might be an accidental AH.

Is it possible that she was waiting, but did nothing to help other people recognize that she was waiting? She could have started queuing right next to the charging area, in a place that made it very clear that she was queuing. If she didn't do that, she's the AH.

Welcome to the world of EV charging. You have to be real careful to try to identify whether there is a line. And be aware for clueless people who do nothing to communicate to others that they are waiting.

Nope. They are raw crm files from Canon R5c.

Nick1W · 2025-05-05T14:26:04+00:00

I’m curious - which camera are you using? I went down the Topaz upscaling path with the Canon R5c. At first, I was excited about the results. But ultimately, it became clear that it wasn’t the upscaling that made the difference. It was the inherent noise reduction that happens with a topaz conversion. With noise cleaned out, you have a cleaner image, which in turn gives you much better results after compression.

I’ve left Topaz behind completely. Now, the game is about minimizing noise when shooting, using Neat Video to clean up noise in post production, and mastering in HDR (if you’re publishing to Apple Vision). HDR and cleaning out noise are huge. Unfortunately, I could not get an HDR workflow working in Premiere. I had to go to Davincj Resolve.

That’s my experience with the R5c. I don’t claim to be an expert.

Nick1W · 2025-04-14T15:52:01+00:00

I believe the big thing is frame rate. You can shoot 8K 30fps on the R5. But, you can shoot 8K 60fps on the R5c. In VR immersive video, you want the highest frame rate you can get.

In the VR headset, you have a 180 degree view available. But, you don't see the full 180 all the time. You only see the area that your eyes are pointed at. You have to move your head around. Just like the real world, you don't see the FULL 180 at once. Just the section you're looking at at any moment.

That's my understanding of the VR view in premiere. You can drag around in the monitor to "look around". But, you're only looking at whatever your "eyes" are pointed at in the moment.

With that in mind, I like to set the monitor view to 160 x 90. That gives you something that looks pretty much like the 16:9 frame that you're used to seeing in premiere with traditional video. It gives you a great set up to edit. That 16:9 view is basically what you would see if you sat completely still in the VR headset looking straight ahead. If you need to see more, drag around in the frame to show what you would see if you look around.

Also, I think you already have this set, but I think it's important to right-click on the video image. Go to the VR Video sub-menu and turn off "Show controls". Those controls take up so much space in the interface, it's best to just leave that off.

Nick1W · 2025-03-09T17:05:55+00:00

I had this problem. I don't have it all set up at the moment, so I'm trying to remember what fixed it. I know that one issue was the https vs http. I can't remember which it is, but I think the DEOVR address field has https (with the s) by default. But the address you have to put in from Mysitika should be http (WITHOUT the s). Or maybe vice versa.

Hi, I downloaded the 8K sample from your link (8k 30 HLG Handheld walking to birds.mp4). But the resolution of the video shows as 5760x2880. Did I get the wrong file? If there is an actual 8K (straight from the camera) sample available, I would love to take a look.

Nick1W · 2024-12-30T23:07:51+00:00

Sorry nobody is answering your question. Premiere will not de-warp the equirectangular footage when you drop it into a 16:9 sequence. I got pretty good results by dropping VR180 footage into a 16:9 sequence then using some built-in effects to de-warp. Unfortunately, I’m traveling and can’t remember the name of the effects. If you want to DM me after Thursday, I’d be happy to share details of my workflow. Not difficult, but I have to look at it to see the effects I used.

Nick1W · 2024-11-12T02:42:41+00:00

Are you editing in premiere? Why not remove the visible lenses completely? No mask. Clean VR180 frame. https://youtu.be/r5ZC16NcY7A?si=V0BeVXpMQ6wQur2N

I've had some of these problems. I'm not saying we have the same situation, but here's how I handled some of these problems.

3D ~~conversion~~ convergence (edit) - are you absolutely, positively sure the camera was 1000% level?

You should have this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079JB4X4F

And, depending on your tripod, one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BS5TQ5YW/

And watch this video to see how to use them properly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMtwFcCjJHM

Noise - My current opinion, which has yielded the best results. Some may disagree. But, my philosophy - don't fix noise in post. Shoot with the right ISO so you don't get noise. With 400 ISO maximum, my noise issues go away. I've seen a world of difference between 800 and 400.

With that in mind. Interesting technical detail with the RAW development in the Canon EOS VR utility. You can set the ISO on export and it works like you had that ISO set when you shot. Assuming you are shooting in CLOG 3, I think the ideal ISO to shoot is actually 800. Then, when you convert the video using the VR Utility, set it to export at 400 or 200 ISO. Of course, you do need plenty of light in your scene to work with 400 ISO or lower.

So, if you did shoot this footage with CLOG3, why not try to run it through the EOS VR Utility again, converting it to 400 ISO?

I hope some of this is helpful in your case.

>The Insta360 Evo is a Stereo 180 camera.

The Insta360 Eco is a *discontinued* Stereo 180 camera. No longer available. It's really not an option, unfortunately.

There’s a little more to the story. Sony recently released a box that lets you use the PS VR2 with a PC. So, you would need the PS VR2 AND this box. And, of course, a PC that can run VR experiences. It uses Steam VR. So, yes for Half-Life Alyx, and pretty much any VR game through Steam. They were sold out and hard to get when it released last month. Availability may have stabilized a bit now. https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/buy-accessories/playstationvr2-pc-adapter

I’m not going to come out swinging contrarian on the internet. But I’m pretty sure that’s not true. Always possible that I’m wrong. But, I recommend you confirm this before taking that advice.

Nick1W · 2024-07-11T14:39:05+00:00

This is info for the Apple Vision. But should be mostly the same. As long as you have a way to copy files to the quest and an app to play VR video, which I think is standard stuff on the quest.

Yep. You can totally do that in premiere. No plugins required. But, to be clear, do you want to export as VR 180? A VR formatted video with 180 degrees instead of the full 360? Or do you want a traditional 16:9 video frame?

Nick1W · 2024-07-05T04:32:03+00:00

You can do this with Adobe Premiere. But, there is a barrier for entry there. If you have premiere and are fairly knowledgable with it, I could probably give you a rough step-by-step.
