1. In Final Cut Pro, create a 360° project.
2. In the Video inspector, scroll down to the Orientation section, then click the Mapping
pop-up menu and choose Tiny Planet.
3. To modify the tiny planet effect, do one of the following:
• Adjust the parameter controls in the Orientation section of the Video inspector.
• Click the Orientation button in the Orientation section of the inspector, then drag
in the viewer to adjust the Orientation parameters. See Change the 360° orientation
using the onscreen control.
To constrain the movement to one axis, hold down the Shift key as you drag.
The following parameters are particularly useful for tiny planets:
• Field of View: Zoom in or out on the tiny planet.
• Pan (Y): Rotate the planet.
• Tilt (X): Create an inverted tiny planet.
Tip: During production, have some fun and take a stroll around your tiny planet: Position
your 360° camera, start recording, take two or three large steps away from the camera,
then walk, ride, or skate in a concentric circle around the camera.
Share 360° clips and projects in Final Cut Pro
When you’ve finished editing, you can export your 360° projects and clips as files or share
them on a variety of video-sharing and social media websites. See Share on the web with
Final Cut Pro. Final Cut Pro includes metadata in the output media file to identify it as a
particular type of 360° video.
You can also export a final file, or export XML files of events, projects, or libraries that
include 360° clips and projects.
In addition to Final Cut Pro, you can use Safari on macOS High Sierra 10.13 or later,
Chrome, and Firefox to play back 360° video on a Mac. You can also use many of the apps
included with 360° cameras.
