You can also add metrics, such as heart rate and cadence, from compatible devices by connecting to your VIRB via ANT+™ wireless technology. If you collect GPS data with VIRB Elite or a compatible Garmin device, VIRB Edit can use that data to create an overlay that indicates speed and elevation in sync with your video. Your footage will be organized into small, easy-to-manage clips and displayed in the order they were shot, making it simple to see them at a glance and select them for editing.Īdd GPS and Performance Data to Your Video Garmin Virb 360 is $799, and is available from Amazon or B&H Photo.View Your Footage With VIRB Edit, importing your footage from VIRB or VIRB Elite is as easy as connecting your device to your computer. Mistika VR is available as an annual or monthly payment. (To see some advanced functions, check out Hugh Hou’s demo of Mistika with the Insta360 Pro, which has six lenses.) It has many more functions, which I’ll demonstrate next time. In fact, this video demonstration barely scratches the surface of what Mistika can do.

If you need a preset that they don’t have, you can send send the unstitched files to SGO, and they will create a preset for you.

I used the Samsung Gear 360 preset, which I modified by adjusting the focal length to 10.4. Here is a sample using the Xiaomi Mijia Mi Sphere 360 camera (you don’t even need to split the files): Xiaomi Mijia Mi Sphere with Mistika There are presets for popular 360 cameras such as the 2017 Samsung Gear 360 (using Mistika, you can avoid the warping that occurs using Gear 360’s own stitcher). Mistika can apply optical flow stitching not just for the Virb but for almost any 360 camera or rig. Īs you can see from the video demo, Mistika’s optical flow makes the stitching on the Virb 360 seamless at all distances. Select “Current Shot.” Specify the format, bitrate, filename and destination. Select the audio track that will be used for the video by clicking on the sound icon beside the video for which you want to use the audio.ħ. When you’re ready to render the video, define the range that you want to render by using the marker below the video along with the Edit In brackets.Ħ. If there are stitching errors, pause (or stop) the video in the scene that needs to be fixed and click on position then “improve alignment.”ĥ.

For the Virb 360, the Kodak SP360 preset works.Ĥ. Right click on the main panel and select ‘Load preset.’ Try one of the presets and see how well it works for your video. When the videos are loaded, you can get a jumpstart by using a preset. If necessary, drag the files to place them in the right order.ģ. In the file selection dialogue box, you can drag the files into the main panel. On the main panel, right click to add the videos that will be stitched (“add cameras”). To recap, here are the steps for a basic stitch:Ģ. The unstitched video must be stitched using third party software, such as Mistika VR, a powerful stitching program that uses optical flow stitching. The Virb 360 has another video mode that enables it to shoot unstitched 360 video at 5.7K resolution (as two separate circular fisheye videos at 2880 x 2880 resolution, according to the specifications). Any object that crosses the stitch line farther or closer than that specific distance will have parallax stitching errors. However, in-camera stitching is almost always limited to template-based stitching, which means that the stitching will be performed for a specific distance. The videos are stitched in-camera at 4K, which is convenient. Garmin Virb 360 is a 360 camera with the most detailed 360 video among consumer 360 cameras as of August 2017.

SGO’s Mistika VR is a powerful stitching software that can use optical flow stitching for almost any 360 camera or rig. To get 5.7K 360 video from the Garmin Virb 360, you need to use a 3rd party stitching software.
