How to edit 360 video from 360 degree cameras

got a cheap LG 360 camera and i’m trying to edit video (i downloaded from the microsd of the camera).

Downloaded the new 22.04.2 standalone (windows) from kdenlive web site, but cannot find the vr360 transform effect they show in this video KDENLIVE Titles VR360 Transfrom Effect - YouTube

is it a 3rd party plug in?

Thanks.

All effects/filters are essentially third party as they are coming from avfilter or frei0r, and are part of the MLT framework. Kdenlive doesn’t have its own effects per se.

The installed version is looking for avfilter and frei0r packages and takes the installed filters; the appimage has them all “on board”. So if you use the latest appimage version 23.04.2 you’ll have the VR360 effects.

ok. found bigshot plugins here:

I extracted all and copied the lib and shotcut folder in the kdenlive-23.04.2_standalone.

restarted kdenlive and now i found the plugins to manage 360 equirectangular.

Thanks.

PS: i suppose the original repository could be this:
https://bitbucket.org/leo_sutic/bigsh0t/downloads/

anyone know how to do the same with a Mac install? I know it would likely involve copying the same bits into the kdenlive “Package Contents” directory, but so far I haven’t had any luck with doing so. it doesn’t appear to exactly map to the unix dir structure. :frowning:

I download Kdenlive 23.08.4 and verified that all the pugins from leo_sutic / bigsh0t / Downloads — Bitbucket
are installed.
The add effect V360 and 3D only shows Stereoscopic 3D.
What can I do to get the menu options to connect to the pugins?

Is this the appimage/standalone or installed version on what OS?

The problem is for both installed and standalone.

Windows 11 OS is the PC.

Did you follow this (see @Federico_Allegretti’s post above):

I extracted all and copied the lib and shotcut folder in the kdenlive-23.04.2_standalone.

restarted kdenlive and now i found the plugins to manage 360 equirectangular.

What I see is only Shortcut folder was missing. The Lib containing Frei0r-1 folder was already installed. After pasting the Shortcut folder into the Standalone Kdenlive, then I opened the application and discovered that the V360 and 3D filters were missing.

Here are the notes at: Bitbucket

Install

There is no installer. Depending on the platform you are on, you’ll have to copy the files into the right folders. When the build process is completed you should have a .zip or .tar.gz in the CMake build directory.

Windows

Assuming Shotcut is installed in C:\Program Files\Shotcut, copy the DLLs into C:\Program Files\Shotcut\lib\frei0r-1 and everything in the shotcut/filters folder into C:\Program Files\Shotcut\share\shotcut\qml\filters.

Download and install the (Visual C++ Redistributables) https*://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads) from Microsoft. Since Bigsh0t is 64 bit, you want the x64 (64 bit)](https*://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe) package.

I see risk and will not follow these instructions.
