This is awesome material THANKS! Super helpful I can follow along as your are explaining.
Thank you, I’ll be making an updated version in about three weeks; keep an eye out for that
@@JimMalcolm Hey Jim - did you make an updated version yet? Just received the Vuze+ and am getting into the workflow
Hi Jim, first of all let me say that y'all guys are making a really god job with the vuze camera, so thanks for that. I'm a filmmaking student and I was thinking to buy the camera as I could create content for real 3D VR, not the 2D plain version. My only concern is if I'll be able to edit the footage with other software such as Adobe Premiere or After Effects, as I'm interested in producing heavy VFX VR content. Thanks and keep going with the good work!
Jim, excellent walkthrough video, had a super quick question concerning audio that I'm not seeing others who have started receiving their cameras mentioning so thought I'd ask here. Is it possible to work with the audio track , for example add special effect sounds or in some cases I'll have two different shots of a scene, one form the vuse, one from a Canon with an attached shotgun mic, or even a boom mic which I would want to replace the audio recorded on the Vuze with either a higher quality audio or one that has been edited.. either within the Vuze, or can the rendered video be used in Adobe, or even like Vegas to substitute the audio track and rerender without degrading the video file quality.. Thanks again for your help and great channel so far!
Thanks Jim for these tutorial videos. I to am having trouble getting 3D video to run on TH-cam.
Michael: Make sure you're using the TH-cam app and not only using a browser. The 3D only works in the YT app.
Excellent tutorial. This software seems to be working nice overall so I'm looking forward to new features added. Not sure if this is a problem only on my computer, but the size of the exported files seems to not match the chosen bitrate in the export dialogue box. If I export say a 20 min clip at 100Mbps the resulting file usually ends up around 1.5-2GB. But given the bitrate I have chosen it should be around 15GB according to my calculations. Is someone else experiencing this problem?
Hi Jim, I just started playing with my Vuze camera yesterday - way cool! As an Adobe Premiere user I'm very interested in how you edit Vuze footage in Premiere.
Also.... PLEASE!... talk to someone in the Studio development about putting standard video controls in the interface. At least space bar to start/stop and arrow keys to move frame by frame. I was trying to refine stitching (which works pretty well) but I was having a terrible time stopping on the exact frame I wanted. I never realized how much I relied on those controls until they weren't there!
I'm also interested in more info on how the app works. Does the preview only show a static image? I couldn't seem to get it to update or show a different angle (though I didn't play with it very long).
There is a big outdoor art festival in my town on Memorial Day weekend and I hope to shoot, edit and post a Vuze video of it the first week of June!
Did you ever figure out how to edit Vuze footage in Premiere?
I can't even get into the software. I get stuck on the activation page where it asks for the serial number of the camera but doesn't allow me to input it. I followed the instructions of plugging it in but the camera just goes into live streaming mode and nothing happens on the software.
Jim, in the current video at 5:59 in you mention changing the patch image. Has HumanEyes looked at allowing a video for the top or bottom patch? For example, if this overall video in the Vuze is collected while the person was moving (walking, bicycle, drone, vehicle, helicopter, etc...) and I had a GPS marker of that movement and I later recorded a screen recording of that GPS route on a map like google maps then I would want to apply that map patch video to the bottom of the Patch image location so when the user looks down during playback of the VR video they would see the icon of the GPS marker on the map in relation to where the context of the video was recorded.
Hello John, we have looked at adding video as an option; however, so far we have not added that feature to the software. I can think of a relatively simple way to accomplish this in post, but it would require you to have Adobe Premiere or similar software.
Jim, thank you for the quick response. If you are able to provide details, either in text or a video screen recording of how you would do it in post I would greatly appreciate it.
Hi Jim - do you know the best settings from rendering out of VR Studio to get the video into Premiere Pro (or After Effects) so that titles / graphics can be added to the video? Rather than just rendering out a clip you shot? When you want to do more with it?
Hi Travis: I'm a purist and not so worried about file size so my work flow is as follows. I output 4K UHD files (3840x2160); then under the "advanced" tab I output at 120mbs; which will render the best overall image quality. I'll warn you upfront; these setting make for large file sizes... about 500MB per minute of video.
Once the files are created you can pull them into Premiere and edit away. The latest version of Premiere CC has some great VR features that make adding VR titles or transition to your project with ease.
Welcome the world of VR Video.
hello Jim, i just received my cam.
And when i visualise my video the stitch lines are really obvious even when i use the " add current frame" button.
it's appear more like a square video instead of a spherique video.
what can i do to resolve this problem ?
Thanks, Jim, for all of your info.
Could you tell me how to play my Vuze 3d 4k video on my Oculus CV1 HMD? Thanks, Louis
Lou: I'm not an expert with Oculus CV1 but I did find some good information at this link. I think this will be a good topic for a future video. Perhaps I can get to that after NAB. In the meantime, follow this link. gear-vr-help.jimdo.com/2016/10/12/play-3d-video-on-oculus-rift-cv1/
Is there a list of all recommended (preferably free) editing software ?
Hello again Jim! was wondering if there is any way of adjusting colour values? I'm finding my videos to come out very contrasted and dark. the shadows and midtones are really crushed... even in neutral lighting
Hello Fraser: First, check your blending levels. The lower the blending level is set, the less density you'll see in your shadows. Second, Play with the color correction, this too can affect your mid tones. And finally, you can aways open up your shadows or brighten mid-tones in third party software. I hear your request for additional control within the Humaneyes VR Studio Software, it's on our list.
Note: I use Adobe Premiere Pro for color correction in post.
I'm so happy you're creating VR Video with the Vuze VR Camera...
excellent. ill give that a try. thanks again for all the help, looking forward to your next video!
Hey Jim, I like your videos and appreciate you making them. I just picked up a vuze myself and am kind of struggling to see my first rendered video in VR. I've uploaded it to youtube with the 3D setting, yet when it was done it came out as a typical 2d image with no options. Is there something im missing here? Thanks again! look forward to your next video.
Hi Fraser: are you using your regular web browser to view the video or the TH-cam app? You'll need to download the TH-cam app and view the video in that which should give you the 3-D options. Give that a try and let me know what happens.
Im using the youtube VR app within daydream. Im not even seeing 360 let alone stereoscopic. I read the 360 video upload that the video requires some metadata? Im at a loss and just seeing the views stacked horizontally. Brings me to another question, shouldnt it be left/right rather than up down? or does youtube etc know how to put the correct image in each eye automatically?
going to try that. thanks roger.
Unfortunately that didnt fix the issue. Really stumped.
hah no worries. i appreciate the help. I have it working now. I think there is a delay from when the video is processed and when the 360/3D options are available. Although I fear "Awkward Coffee Table: A VR Experience" may not be my ticket to fame. Thanks!
Hi Jim, just a question, is there a user manual to download for the software? I could not find one online, my interest is in white balance or color correction as my plan is to use the camera underwater after a housing is available
Hi Reto, there is not an online guide/manual for the Humaneyes VR Studio Software, it's built into the application itself. As for color balance, contrast and stitching control, all will be addressed when we release our underwater housing. As you can imagine there is more to shooting underwater than just color balance.
Hi Jim, thanks thats good news, I know about the issues in UW Photo and Video, I was a photo/Videographer for PADI Europe for many years, i am looking forward to the UW housing :-) as new step in UW Filming
Jim, I have a humaneyes software with a Vuze camera and I use it to take 60 sec clips of the interior of our city's shops and restaurants (I work in economic development). I now have a restaurant that is divided into two rooms so I needed to film two 30 second clips in the hopes that I could "stitch" the two videos together to make one 60 second video. I can not find any tutorials for this and have been unable to figure it out on my own. Can you help, please?
Any help would be appreciated...
Great, so I've learned how to render. At the end you say you're going to go ahead an post the video. How is that done? Post to where?
I post to TH-cam and Facebook
Hello Jim, I was able to render the files but want to know how to view them on a computer so I can scroll and look around.
Is that understandable?
It does make sense. You might want to try the GoPro VR Player... Here is a link: www.kolor.com/gopro-vr-player/download/
I have managed to make 1 actual 3D VR video, for some reason now it will only render one eye in 360 which looks horrible and makes everyone giant - I still have the 3D 360 VR option checked, and just can't figure out why this is happening
Which camera are you using?
Jim, I cannot import into the VR Studio after I copied them from a card to a local folder manually. I cannot get VR Studio to detect any 360 files from my local drives. Do I always have to import using the software?
Hello David: The short answer is yes, you do need to use the Vuze VR Studio software to import your files. If you transfer your data manually, you're likely to "break" the file structure.
Here's is how you can fix and import.
1. On a memory card create a folder titled "DCIM"
2. Inside the DCIM folder copy the HET folders you want to import. (hopefully, you have the HET folders intact)
3. Add a folder to the DCIM folder and name it "MISC"
4. Place the .yml file into the MISC folder. (Note; you can find the yml file on my microSD card, in the MISC folder.
5. Once complete you should be able to import from this card into the Vuze VR Studio software.
Bottom line, the Vuze VR Studio software is looking for all the project files (HET) and the ylm (calibration) file during import.
I'm hoping this moves you in the right direction, let me know if you're still having trouble.
Awesome this fixed it. We had shipped our camera out to a shoot and I was worried I was going to have to wait until they returned to edit some videos we had filmed. Thanks!
Dear Jim, I already transfered the CSV files into the computer before installing Humaneyes VR Studio.
Now I choose the option to open them and the software does not recognize the files in the folder.
Is there a way to solve this problem? Many thanks in advance.
Thank you for the answer Jim, can you please send me a tip on how too reconstruct the file from the memory card; including all the folder? Many thanks!
My question is for images, I have taken some photos with VUZE and rendering is giving me an image with a top and bottom part i.e. (right/left eye data). I tried uploading to Facebook and nothing good, not sure how to share such images or even watch them.
Please advise.
PiFi Zone Facebook does not yet support 360 3D still images. I'm hopeful they'll add that soon. In the mention try outputting a 360 2D and see if that works... let me know what you learn
Already tried with 360 2D and they came up as panoramic shots (not even panoramic but closer to it). Is there any way I can watch them in 3D without using Facebook? Is there any viewer available for windows/mac? Android/iOS?
Is there any other way to improve the stitching than the "add frame" option?
Yes... coming soon. (Sept. 1st to be exact). We have added a tool that will give you control over the stitch lines based on distance. After you add a stitch point you can "fine tune" by either dragging a slider until the stitch is correct or enter a distance, say 6.3 feet, that you want to system to stitch for. Please watch for the official announcement and other new news around IFA, which starts Sept. 1st. in Berlin.
Jim Malcolm thanks boo
I am not getting any support for VUZE 3D VR Camera initial wifi setup from VUZE CAMERA support team. Worst Experience...
Is there any way to preview the 360 without rendering?
There is not. However, some people do render a low-resolution version before creating a full 4K VR Video. This helps save time and storage while developing their narrative. Hope that helps.
Dear Dr. Malcolm, I rendered a video with the defalt setting three times, but the final product is still in a stereo mode (divided up and down). I wonder how shall I just render a normal 3D video, no layers? Thanks Dr. Malcolm
At the top of the Render Menu select "2D", which will create a 360 degree, 2D file; this will remove the 3D top/bottom format you're seeing now. Also, if you open the "advanced" options tab you'll find that you can select either the right or left eye to render. Let me know if this works for you.
Thanks Dr. Malcolm! I am gonna try it now and give you feedback after the rendering process, which takes a day on my mac. : )
Yikes... Mac is a challenge. we're working with them to overcome some of their challenges but no immediate solutions, even in their most recent computer options. I'm a die hard Mac
Oh... one last recommendation. You might want to render just 5 seconds of video to make sure it looks the way you want it before you render the full video.
hi , can you place link to the rendered video?
I can't render anything with this software! Please help. I went and bought a state of the art $1000 gaming laptop that blows the recommended specs away, but it only renders 33 minutes and 18 seconds, (almost every time) then fails. Sometimes it just fails without saving the render. If I adjust any settings, fails. I'm tech savvy and am at a loss as to what to do next. I've contacted the company too, no reply yet. Please help me! I love the Vuze camera.
Hello ZanFitness: How long is the video you're trying to render? I'll do my best to help, do you have time for a call?
Jim Malcolm Thank you for the reply. The video is 1hr 55 minutes. Yes I have time for a call. Is there a number I should dial or a safe place to send my number?
Connect with me on LinkedIn; we'll use that to share contact information.
Jim Malcolm Will do. I've just created one and sent a request. Thank you again very much for your time and effort. Update, we've now re-created the issue on a second machine.
is it possible to do ai resolution enhancing for vuze photos or even videos? I tested this one letsenhance.io/login on one original photo from a single camera. the result is actually not bad.
hello Jim, i just received my cam.
And when i visualise my video the stitch lines are really obvious even when i use the " add current frame" button.
it's appear more like a square video instead of a spherique video.
what can i do to resolve this problem ?
Have you posted any videos? I'd like to see what you're referring to. There are 4 "risky" areas during stitch, each 90 degrees from each other. You'll want to keep you subject about two meters away on those corners. Nonetheless, please send me a link to some of your videos.
think it's for that reason. because i do myvideo less than 1m.
but how can i make a video holding my cam at less of that distance
I hand-hold my camera on a short selfie stick about 30 inches from my face. Just make sure your subject (face) is on camera axis and not on a corner. I'm working on a video that I shot while riding a longboard with no major stitching errors. I'll post that over the weekend.
