No 360 Video 5.7k Template in Vegas 17 Build 452

GeoHiker wrote on 5/31/2020, 11:00 AM

I was hoping the latest Vegas update would improve the workflow for 360 video editing and rendering. I have a Yi VR 5.7k 360 degree camera. Vegas has a template for Yi 360 4k and Samsung Gear 4096 x 2048 but nothing for 5.7k (5760 x 2880). All I want to do is edit in 5.7k and render out in 5.7k. I was able to customize the Samsung template to 5760 x 2880 but when it's time to render, Vegas doesn't give me an 360 rendering template. I thought Vegas 17 is supposed to be able to edit and render out 360 videos in 5.7k?

As it stands now I can render the 360 video footage as a regular, non-360 video and inject the 360 metadata afterwards to get it up on YouTube. And I know from other posts people were suggesting to use the Happy Otter scripts and Voukoder but I should be able to do it all within Vegas, as it's one of the listed features. (Incidently, Voukoder appears as a rendering option with a regular video but not with a 360 degree video.)

Am I missing something? Is there a properties or render dialogue box I have to select?

Thanks in advance.

How do you get to the 5K template? I don't see it in the render options shown above. Do I need to load/update something? Do I need to modify an existing template?

How do you get to the 5K template?

By using a 5K project that you can also make yourself.

That 5k output then will be broken (black frames only) if used for 360°.

After this comment of you I looked at the made file and see indeed only Black frames.
Because I have no real 360 files I only looked at the MediaInfo of the rendered file where I still see this

After rendering with this template

that has ended normal with this picture

OK...then how do I create a 5K project? I don't see a "5K" template in the new project menu.

If there is a new 5K template available, why is it so hard for someone to explain how to find it? I have no problem creating new templates for my own use, if that's what is needed. But if this is a new "feature" it ought to be documented somewhere, eh?

Such a projectformat you have to make yourself. Look

I created a 5.7k 360 degree video project template by customizing the existing 360 degree Samsung template (4096 x 2304), changing the dimensions to 5760 x 2880. When I customized I also checked off "360 Output" but Vegas doesn't save this setting for some reason. So when I start a project, I drag the stitched 360 degree video into the timeline, go to properties, select my customized 5.7k 360 templete, check the "360 Output" box, and now it appears as a 360 video in the timeline that I can edit. Unfortunately, as mentioned above, there's no 360 degree 5.7k rendering template.
