How To Edit 360 Video In Adobe Premiere Pro CC - Knight Lab Studio

What is Equirectangular Projection?

Imagine a map of the earth: It is a flat representation of a spherical globe. Equirectangular projection simply unwraps the sphere, mapping the longitude to the X coordinate, and the latitude to the Y.

Similarly, equirectangular footage is a common format for 360 video that allows it to wrap into an immersive sphere. While flat, it can look like a distorted panorama. Your raw stitched footage will be equirectangular, but you can toggle between the equirectangular or VR views while editing in Premiere.

Monoscopic vs. Stereoscopic Video

A monoscopic 360 video is just a flat equirectangular video displayed on a sphere. These are filmed with cameras such as the Samsung Gear 360 or the GoPro Omni. Regardless of the total number of cameras, each angle is filmed with one camera lens and then stitched together to form the 360 view.

In contrast, a stereoscopic video adds depth between the foreground and background. These are filmed with cameras such as the Humaneyes Vuze. It films each angle with two camera lenses side by side, similar to how each of your two eyes views different vantage points in order to experience depth.

In order to accommodate these two vantage points, stereoscopic footage will contain left and right views. They can be stacked side-by-side or over-and-under each other, with the left view on top.
