4. If the Video inspector isn’t already shown, do one of the following:
• Choose Window > Show in Workspace > Inspector (or press Command-4).
• Click the Inspector button on the right side of the toolbar.
5. Click the Video button at the top of the inspector.
6. In the Video inspector, scroll down to the Orientation section, then click the Mapping
pop-up menu and choose one of the following:
• Normal: Presents any portion of the 360° video, up to 175° maximum (125° for 16:9
projects), using gnomonic projection, in which straight lines appear straight.
• Tiny Planet: Maps the entire 360° sphere onto a flat plane, creating the effect of a
tiny planet. See
Add the Tiny Planet effect in Final Cut Pro.
7. In the Orientation section, adjust any of the following parameters:
• Tilt (X): Rotate the view left or right (around the x-axis).
• Pan (Y): Rotate the view up or down (around the y-axis).
• Roll (Z): Rotate the view clockwise or counterclockwise (around the z-axis).
• Field of View: Adjust the amount of the 360° scene that is shown. To widen the field
of view, drag the slider to the right. To narrow the field of view, drag the slider to the
left.
You can use one orientation (camera angle) for the entire duration of a 360° clip, or
you can animate changes to the orientation over time to create the effect of cinematic
camera moves. See
Add video effect keyframes in Final Cut Pro.
Important: Changes to the orientation settings affect the orientation of output media
files.
You can edit the 360° clips in a rectilinear project the same way you edit standard clips.
When you finish editing your rectilinear project, you can share the project using any share
method. The output from any 360° clips included in the project is flat (just like any other
standard rectilinear video).
