Hi All,
I've put together a little 360 degree panoramic YouTube video featuring some shots from the game. I hadn't seen anywhere that this had been before so I thought i'd give it a go.

Works great using Google Cardboard! Best viewed in 4k mode :)


Featuring shots taken from the game Elite Dangerous, this 360 degree panorama slideshow video was put together using the in-game debug camera, Microsoft ICE and ShotCut. A variety of shots were taken in-game, which were then stitched together using Microsoft ICE and the resulting images were put together using ShotCut.

Many thanks :)
I wasn't sure when I started if this was going to be possible. I had to jump through a few hoops but think the results are OK.

Oh Dear. I've just noticed that I can't even spell YouTube correctly in the title :(

That would be cool :)

I would like to improve the overall quality of the video but ran into some technical limitations at the weekend. With regards to the images used; using a normal debug screen grab I can get the resulting stitched image from ICE to around 7,000 pixels in width, and viewing these as still images in Cardboard looks great. If I captured the images in hi-res mode I could get the resolution up to a HUGE value and then scale it down to any resolution so I could produce 8k images at 8640 x 4320 (2:1 aspect) but the problem comes when editing these together into a movie suitable for YouTube. I was looking round for software that would allow me to do this (ideally for free!) but ran into a brick wall. Shotcut supports up to 4096 pixels wide so the uploaded video was 4000x2000. I would love to upload a video to YouTube at 8k res if I could find the software produce the video.
