Is there a program that I can use that's easy to cut up the 360 video and delete bits I don't want?
m in need of such a program myself. Everything I use messes up the video when I upload to youtube.
Hi, you need to use a tool that maintains all the backend stuff that lets YouTube know it's 360 video. This basically means you need to spend *some* money on a decent video editing package. Freeware type stuff is likely not to work (as well as open up your editing computer to malware). Lots of people use Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro (essentially industry standard software for video editing) which are expensive to buy - but there are trials you can use to check 'em out. Cheaper options from companies like Magix are available - their MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 2016 Plus product allows for 360 editing and costs £70 (again there is a trial you can use).
Probably be helpful to hear what camera you're using, what you've used to edit and how it didn't work?
If it's any help, I'm just about to dip my toes into 360 video editing at work and I'm planning on using Adobe Premiere Pro for the main editing.
I don't have my cam yet but watched this video explaining how to do it. Installed one of the apps and seems simple enough to use going by what the video says.

Welp finally got my cam and done some playing. I need to figure out how to pull clips from videos. I tried putting videos on keyboard and it messes them up.
You can post videos to YouTube directly from phone.
What's really dum is toy have to keep the phone screen on when transferring from cam to phone.... complete fail

I have to mute an audio portion of my video due to an copyrighted song. I have have yet to find a program that will let me edit the video without the uploaded video being no-360 and distorted.

Probably be helpful to list the software that hasn't worked...
As I said above, to edit 360 video you need to use a package that keeps all the additional data (that flags it as 360 content) intact. Most freeware software will not do it properly (or at all) which is why it's distorted or not rendering as 360 video when you upload it. This means spending some cash, or using trial software or *cough* your preferred method of circumnavigating such restrictions. :angel:
Hey guys, I've been using Premiere to edit my 360 videos so I dont know about any free software that would allow you to edit your videos. What I do know is that any other program you use to edit will remove the metadata needed for Youtube or Facebook to know its a 360 video. There is a small piece of software, which is free, that you'll have to use to "inject" the metadata necessary to make it a 360 video again. Its super fast and easy to use. If you do a quick search in google for "360 metadata injector" you should be able to find a ton of results on where to download it and how to use it. Hope this helps.

Yes of course! Since this is an LG thread I assume we're talking about the LG 360 Cam and not the Ricoh Theta. The Ricoh Theta has PC software which the LG Cam doesn't. The LG 360 Cam is designed to work with a phone, this means that to get videos that you can later edit you'll need to download them through the phone app and then move them to your computer. In the process of downloading to the device, the app will also stitch your 360 video, this might be the reason why it takes so long for the video to download.
Once you have downloaded all the videos you want, move them to your computer. Use your favorite video editing software. Make sure that the aspect ratio does not change or gets cropped. The video resolution size should be 2560x1280. When you're happy with your editing, export/render your video. Now look for and download the software called "Spatial Media Metadata Injector" its free. This will allow you to re-add the metadata info that lets YouTube, Facebook or any other site that this is a 360 video. This info is lost when the video was edited. Open the program and choose the video you edited and select the "Spherical" check box. Now use the "Save As" and save the new "injected" video. That will be the video you'll want to post anywhere and it will be recognized as a 360 video.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Happy 360 shooting!

I have used Power Director 12 and Nero to attempt to edit them. I "inject" the metadata after editing them and it seems to be a normal 360 video prior to uploading them. Once uploaded they become distorted.

So, they're obviously mangling it in some other way (welcome to the world of video editing - the amount of times a codec behaving badly has made me want to cry...).
What format is the unedited footage saved as and what format have you outputted edited footage as prior to injecting the metadata?
---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------
Give Adobe Premiere a go editing to see if it maintains the 360 gubbins when you upload the edited footage, follow what @asainz320 said on the previous page for exporting.
That way you'll know it *will* work. Then it's a case of finding software that will edit within your price bracket.
Premiere Trial - https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/premiere
Adobe ain't gonna maintain it since it's already not there. When you copy a video over to a computer its already 2 fish eyes.
I found some app for the computer from another 360 cams website that you can watch them on computer but the stitching isnt great.

Yeah - you're right with the LG Cam. I've been messing around with a Theta S at work which produces similar duel fish eye footage. Can confirm that when you stitch that together and edit in Adobe Premiere, then inject the metadata the footage uploads perfectly to YouTube. So you need to find something to stitch the footage.
http://chrissniderdesign.com/blog/2015/11/23/how-to-edit-360-video-in-premiere/ is the workflow I'm using, doubt the free tool would work with LG Cam footage but it's free so worth a crack - if you want to pm me a short bit of footage from the LG Cam I'd be happy to run it through to confirm one way or the other.
I'm also going to try above workflow using the more modestly priced Sony Movie Studio so will confirm whether that works.
Once again. The LG 360 CAM was not meant to be used stand alone. You will need to download the videos to your phone before you can get something you can work with. There is no software yet to convert the raw videos from your LG camera.

So the LG Software on the LG Support Site doesn't allow you to convert footage externally to a camera? Cos this video seems to beg to differ.

- I don't think WP7 supports subtitles yet. Hopefully it's coming.
- HTC's image quality is considered to be one of the worst, and the HD7 shares this problem.
- There is no multitasking yet. The only way to 'close IE completely' is to close all of the open tabs.

ohh the sub thing...
see...my guess is you soft subbed it. You have to hard encode your subs, and they will show up quite nicely. Thing is if you have a subtitle file, you can use any video converter to convert using xbox 360 settings.
However, what I've done with lots of success is
-I have a mkv (like psg episode).
-I convert using anything to psp converter to resize the image and convert it to mp4.
-pull the subtitle track
-hard encode sub

There is a setting in the Sync Settings in Zune that allows you to specify whether you want your pictures to be resized when they are synced to your phone. I believe the default is to resize to fit the phone's screen, but you can override that and ask it to retain the original picture resolution. Although you are probably better off leaving it as reducing the pic size saves a lot of space on your phone.

Im not pretty sure, but i would say u can use mkvtoolnix for everything regarding mkv files.
I really was into x264/mkv-encoding 2-3 years ago, but kinda cant remember everything.
But mkvtoolnix always was best way to go!

Is there something specific to the platform that is preventing enhanced .m4a support on Android? As far as I can see from scouring the internet, it looks like we don't have a single media player that supports the enhanced features of chaptering and embedded images offered by enhanced .m4a files. This is supported in every apple device, if I am not mistaken.
Any ideas?
Found One!
In case anybody is interested, somebody on reddit came through for me:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.akimbo.abp.trial&feature=search_result
Akimbo is an audiobook reader that handles .m4a chaptering and images pretty perfectly. Their library setup is a ****ty mess, but it has otherwise been strong so far.
yes this one works........ nearly.
The enhanced podcasts I use have several differant images per chapter, and the player moves onto the next image only at the next chapter so come the 2nd chapter it is several images behind.
.m4a files play just fine on the stock music player of my LG vortex, and the blur'd music player of the DX2. where are you encountering issues playing .m4a file?
the audio playback is fine on every player its the images encoded into the podcast that dont display properly

Same issue here. I want to access enhanced podcasts from Coffee Break Spanish but I couldn't. Those podcasts also have multiple images per chapter.
I'm very interested in this as well. I've been using Pocket Casts which is a great player but doesn't support the contextual images and links.
My example Specifically is the "Rooster Teeth Podcast".
On my old iPhone the embedded images displayed perfectly in apps like Downcast and the native iTunes Player had functional Live links some of the time.
I'm desperately searching for one, but I've had no luck.
has anyone had any luck yet with this one? I am thinking about using my old hd2 just for m4a playback
I asked the developer of Pocketcasts about this. And it seems they're missing the tools to make this.
" We've been looking into it, but that format is a proprietary Apple standard that no one else has support for. So our iOS app supports it out of the box, because Apple has the developer tools for us to do that. On Android Google don't, and we've yet to find a third-party library we can use that does, which leaves us stuck. So short story: yes we'd love to, but we don't think we can."
Bummer.

The feature is supported by VLC on the desktop (and likely other open source desktop apps). Handbrake also supports it; it can encode the chapter data into m4v files. In reading about it, it seems like the chapter data is simply encoded into the file in plaintext. I don't know how easy or hard it is to read that data on Android, but it definitely seems do-able (seeing as how the above 2 open source apps do it).

Has your phone battery ever died during video recording and you ended up with the unplayable file?
If so, Video Repair is for your!
Video Repair allows easy recovery of corrupted MP4 files recorded with Android devices. At the moment it supports H264, AAC and MPEG4-SP (the last one is rather slow). If other codecs turn out to be popular I’ll implement it as well. If your recording got interrupted and you’re getting "Can't play this video." error message when trying to open the video Video Repair should be able to fix it. All you need is another working video file recorded using the same camera settings which can be used as reference. Video Repair will attempt to automatically pick the reference file.
Video Repair doesn’t support fixing or transoding of videos downloaded from the internet or recorded with other devices.
This app is a work-in-progress.
The UI isn’t polished yet but the main functionality is stable.
I successfully recovered couple video files recorded on different devices (luckily all my devices used H264/AAC codecs). I wanted to release it asap so that I can get your feedback and judge what are the common problems with broken files.
Video Repair is available on Google Play and you can watch the repaired video for free. Sharing or saving requires a small in-app purchase.
Please post your feedback below.
If your video can't be recovered by current version of Video Repair and you're OK with sharing it please email me a broken video and another short video recorded with the same device to [email protected] . I'll do my best to allow fixing of your file in future versions of Video Repair.

I've a Galaxy S3 and it normally generates mp4 files but left me with a temp_video file. I "fixed" it with your app and on the phone the audio is "OK" I think but the video is maybe 1/2 time? If I play it on my PC with vlc media player, both audio and video are choppy and if I play it with the windows media player it's the same as on my phone - audio is the right speed but the video is maybe 1/2 time or so. Should my phone be supported? I'd send you the file but it's 1.2G or so... I could put it up on an ftp server if you like? PM me?

Yes, Galaxy S3 is supported.
I added some fixes in the latest update (version 0.2.4) which should make a playback consistent on VLC and Android video player.
Unfortunately in the file you sent me the camera crashed in the middle of the recording so there is video only for the first half of the file, the rest is audio only. There is no way to recover more video since is not there Optimistically, the glass is half full tho (half of the file is playable)!

Phone died at the end of recording video and left temp file. I couldn't get your app to recognize it until I renamed it temp_file.mp4. Ran it and it worked on the first minute and a half. The video is 22 minutes long. Any advice?
BTW this is the furthest I have gotten with the video out of almost 10 programs- keep up the good work!
I have 3 .tmp files and I'm using one .mp4 file as a reference. Worked like a charm. If anyone has problems importing the files, make sure they're in .tmp extension. :good: Good project. Keep up the development. You are saving a lot of people's data. Cheers.

The file was not playable when you recorded it and after processing by MP4 Video Repair it's playable but there is a sync issue right?
Is the difference constant through the video or is sync better at the beginning and then getting worse over time?
If the difference is constant the only way to sync it is to use some external (PC) app and synchronize it manually.
Otherwise, if the difference is increasing over time, you may try running the broken file through the latest version of MP4 Video Repair or trying to select different reference file.

Have a look at http://mctvconverter.vivolum.net/ - found in less than 30 seconds with Google
Oh, and this really should be in the "Q & A" forum as it is a question :silly:
Yes, it is a question, but hoping for feedback from those who have used software to allow viewing...
Also, concerned about downloading any software from the web without verification from at least a couple of users who have had good experiences with it.
Thanks for your input.
I can suggest this beautiful open source software project, licensed under the GNU General Public License v2:
MCEBuddy.
IMHO, one of the best WTV converters for Windows systems.
The latest two versions require a small donation, but previous versions are free of charge.
I have been looking at MCEBuddy. It seems as though older versions are free, and the "new and faster" version requires a minimum $25 "donation."
I don't mind paying, after I have had a trial, but don't see that option.
Which version are you using, fastleo?
I'm using the free 2.3.13 version.
Thanks, I am trying the MC-TV Converter as I type this. It looks like about 15 - 20 minutes to convert a file of about 1 GB.
Will try the same file with MCE Buddy, which I expect will be faster, (which will also mean, better.)
OK, showing my lack of expertise here. I converted file to .mpg4 file type, and dropped it in the camera folder of my OnePlus phone.
It will not play, although a preview thumbnail showed up with an image...
Should I be using a different file type for Android to play the video, or drop the video into a different folder, or both?

OK, showing my lack of expertise here. I converted file to .mpg4 file type, and dropped it in the camera folder of my OnePlus phone.
It will not play, although a preview thumbnail showed up with an image...
Should I be using a different file type for Android to play the video, or drop the video into a different folder, or both?
Thanks...

Try renaming it to .mp4 or .m4v. Also, which video player are you using?
Convert to MP4 or MKV then play using MX Player, you shouldn't have any problems then.
I downloaded VLC for Android, then put the video in a folder on my OPO I titled Recorded TV (in Movies folder.) VLC plays my video quite nicely.
Next, I will try MCEBuddy to see if it is faster than MC-TV Converter.
Thanks, all, for your patience. This will save me from having to carry my OPO and my tablet. As long as I load the right content, can now keep up with some TV on my phone. Things like sports or epic movies deserve a bigger screen, but there is plenty to watch on my phone now!

MCEBuddy is way faster, esp if you have the hardware encoding encoding enabled it blows the rest away. Even without hardware encoding if you're using the latest builds 2.3.15 or 2.4.1 it's still 30%-40% faster. (a little less than half the time) esp for HD and H264 video.

I have been looking at MCEBuddy. It seems as though older versions are free, and the "new and faster" version requires a minimum $25 "donation."
I don't mind paying, after I have had a trial, but don't see that option.
Which version are you using, fastleo?

They are running a promotion on facebook, check out mcebuddy on facebook (I can't post the link here).
I think it $15 right now.

I don't know how this new offline youtube feature works. But you can always sideload TubeMate.
Actually the download icon lets us to save *allowed* videos for offline viewing from official YouTube app.
Update: This is the path and format of several such chunks of files.

Can anyone create app to convert these files as avi or mp4 please? Or suggest methods.

As for as a source -
"1-- Google is using EXO file format to save videos. This is apparently a file format used for system files and while we managed to copy these EXO files onto a computer, it can be apparently played only through the YouTube Android app.
2-- When you request a download for an offline video in the YouTube app, the video is downloaded in chunks. For example, a 3-minute file we downloaded was saved in five parts. It is possible that only the YouTube app for Android can make sense of these chunks and join them together.
3-- We also feel there is real-time encryption going on here. When the video is downloaded, not only it is broken into parts but is also converted to EXO format, compressed and encrypted in real time. This has several benefits, the one obvious benefit is that people can't copy-paste the video and share it indiscriminately. The compression, meanwhile, saves space on the disk. For example, the 3-minute long video that we downloaded actually consumed around 40MB data. But when stored on the phone, the video took only around 25mb space.
4-- When a user plays the video, it is decrypted in real time. It is possible that only YouTube's app can do this decryption.
5- If you share the offline video using Bluetooth, instead of the actual file, a web link to the video is sent to the recipient."
My idea is not to break head in YouTube encryption and decryption.
Will it be possible to use YouTube app itself to decrypt and write the output stream as mp4/avi video using ffmpeg codec?
We would require to decompile YouTube apk. The reason for this question is, YouTube is default app in almost all Android phones. There is good market out there.

Great news friend. Now it was not mentioned in the app itself. Cheaters google. Should we read terms and conditions for each change log?
I got disappointed after the video disappear.

The YouTube app can play those files. so if you could rebuild the YouTube app itself to play and convert we can do it. Pardon me if I'm being dump.

It's an android only thing it seems, not a YouTube only thing.
There are other android apps (subscription services) that save the files in exo format & they are all real paranoid about piracy, hence the use of encrypted exo.
If many apps use the file format, then someone might be able to come up with a media player capable of playing those.
bro we can create an decrypting app
That World be very great !
Couse i searched much of Tracks in Beatport and Traxsource to pay for them.
But the Most Tracks i only find in YouTube. Couse im doing sometimes Dj Set's for Radio the GEMA and Licens will be payed Form Fm4 so i dont need to pay for the Tracks since i didnt Play them in a Club or something.
