Playing with 360 video

[michael63]

Have my 360 video file (seems rather large 1.14Gb for 1m.21s) have the FFmeg link and working.
Output a file everything work.
What would be the best skin to use to work with the 360 video.
Using Pano2vr7

Hey Michael,

Unfortunately there is not a one size fits all answer for something like this. For me it's really dependent on the style of the website as well as what is being shown in the video to determine the skin's style. Styles change from project to project but I tend to keep the same functionality across the board having buttons that zoom in, zoom out, hide the interface, enter fullscreen, and start auto rotation. Buttons get added or are taken away based on what the project needs for the best user experience. I hope this helps with your selection.

Hello Spencer, thank you for a reply, for me 360 video would be standalone, the question about the skin was more functionality, the last webinar to covered this was (New in Pano 2VR 5.1) if they is an updated version of this I haven’t found it.

My least favourite part of Pano2vr is the skin editor if I have no choice I will create something but I soon get some pre done components from the tool components box “not lazy, I don’t enjoy”

Hence the question about what skin would be more suited for 360 video.

Features would be seek bar, Stop button, VR mode, all these can be built, I was hoping it was already to go as I module.
I’m also aware most 360 video can be a bit boring, probably most of them are created as, I have a 360 video now what, which is fine.

The 360 video I ended up with was, I couldn’t gauge the 360 pictures I need to take, so it was easier to record 360 video and take the still from the video (it worked very well)

The subject, one steam train, 360 camera in the cab, by time I finish editing it, the end result will be good, it VR mode I suspect it will be impressive.
It is far better than I expected.

Hi Michael,
I guess you can use any skin but what you may want to do is add a seek bar element and assign it to the video panorama.
This way you can then scrub the video etc.
Please find a component that adds the seek bar and play and pause buttons. Add the component to your skin and then make sure the targets for all the actions is for the video panorama.
