360° video settings in Final Cut Pro
You can assign 360°-related metadata tags to your 360° clips, which is useful for organizing your media and creating 360° projects. Some of these metadata tags are required for your 360° media to play back properly in the viewer and the 360° viewer.
Tagging 360° clips with the correct metadata is a fundamental part of the importing process. See Import 360° video into Final Cut Pro.
360° Mode settings
The 360° Mode setting indicates the type of projection used to display the clip in the Final Cut Pro viewer and 360° viewer.
None: A standard clip (no 360° characteristics).
Equirectangular: A 360° clip with equirectangular projection—similar to a world map that depicts the globe as a two-dimensional (2D) rectangle.
Fisheye: A clip shot with a 180° fisheye lens.
Back-to-Back Fisheye: A 360° video clip shot with two 180° fisheye lenses facing in opposite directions.
Cubic: A 360° projection in which the spherical view is unfolded like a cube, with six faces surrounding the viewer. Each face is flattened as a rectilinear projection with 90 x 90 degrees of view. Cube maps are stored as six separate square textures or as a single texture with all faces unfolded.
Note: You can tag Fisheye, Back-to-Back Fisheye, and Cubic clips to organize them, but before you can edit them in Final Cut Pro you need to convert those clips to equirectangular clips using stitching software from the camera manufacturer.
Stereoscopic Mode settings
The Stereoscopic Mode setting in Final Cut Pro indicates the type of stereoscopic configuration.
Monoscopic: A monoscopic 360° clip (no stereoscopic characteristics).
Side by Side: The images for the left and right eyes are side by side in the video frame.
Over/Under: The images for the left and right eyes are stacked vertically in the video frame.
