Video landing KROC in 360

Post by mdieter »

I'm playing with video from a 360 degree camera mounted under the plane. The camera is a 360Fly (not the 4K version) I shot this 2 min video landing at KROC. The quality gets pretty bad when I upload to Youtube. Any suggestions on how to get better quality is appreciated. Anyhow I'm having fun with it.

I have the Samsung 4k 360 and uploaded a similar video: https://youtu.be/_0ucWd35vws. The quality is fine when you set the playback to 1080p (HD), though it isn't at 4k.

What's the system you're using for transcoding and uploading?

One question: it seems like yours only has the front-facing part. Is it set to 360°?

I'm just using the vendor supplied 360Fly Director for editing and uploading. I've tried some other workflows, but they loose the 360 metadata that is required for youtube to make it a 360 video. The quality out of Director looks fine, but the process to put it on youtube seems to ruin the resolution.

I see all angles when watching my youtube on Safari and Firefox.
