Hi All!

Is it possible to upload stitched Panoramas from PTGUI to Youtube? My desired product is an interactive 360 "click and drag" youtube movie that is able to be shared and displayed on mobile devices.

I also have Pano2VR for what it's worth, not sure which program is the one to use to get this result. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi

I don't think this is possible. It will work with 360 degree viewer software but I don't think that YouTube can handle this kind of imagery, in an interactive way. You could think above creating a movie file from a sweeped view across the pano as an alternative? That could be uploaded to YouTube.

A couple of years ago I made a movie consisting of panos and stills

I have successfully used Adobe Premier Pro to produce videos from static 360 panoramas then use the YouTube Metadata app to inject the video file with the info the viewers need to identify it as 360 video - it works on Facebook 360 video too...

Ah, very interesting. Can you give a description in a bit more detail how you prepare a panorama for Facebook/YT use?

Or maybe point towards a tutorial somewhere? 

Thanks.

You cannot upload a panorama in interactive mode to youtube.
However, when you have the new pano2vr you can create a video from the panorama  which you can show in youtube

There is a ‘Facebook embed tutorial’ in the document section of the 'Panoramic Photographers on Facebook' group

Why are people wanting to do this ? It’s like taking panoramic imagery back to the 90s. Youtube is NOT the platform for static panoramas. If you want a mobile solution almost every other option is a better one.

I would only be interested in using it on Facebook.

Currently you have to post a link to an external website, and especially on mobile, the experience is much better from within the Facebook app, and more people will actually view it.

And in the near future Facebook video support for devices like the Gear VR and Oculus Rift will also maybe make this an interesting way to distribute your content.

YouTube has a help document at:


I use Adobe Premier Pro to take the static equirectangular jpg file and size it then output it as a video file
