Syncing is done in post and can be achieved by analysing motion (twisting the camera around for a few seconds), sound (giving it a few claps) or in some cases, by flashing the cameras with a light. The GoPro’s have to be shooting in 4:3 mode as to capture as much of the sensor as possible for stitching.Īs of this moment in time there is no easy way to sync the GoPro’s properly unless you get the Odyssey rig (which costs quite a bit), so the more frames you capture per second, the better you can sync frames. The Freedom360 rig we used held 6 GoPro Hero 4 Black Editions, with each one recording either 1440p50 or 2.7K 4:3 25p depending on the frame rate we wanted and light conditions. To give the best TL DR I can on how it all works, filming 360° content can be done on a variety of rigs and cameras but we chose one using GoPro’s as it was the lightest option with the best quality output.
#USING GOPROS WITH AUTOPANO GIGA SOFTWARE#
I had yet to shoot any 360° content prior to this so I used the time before starting the project to familiarise myself with the workflow and to get as much experience as possible.Īlthough it’s all fairly simple to do thanks to advancements in stitching software such as Kolor AutoPano Video, I thought I’d stress test the 360° rigs to the max to discover as many potential problems as possible… and naturally the first thing that came to mind was strapping a rig up to Ashley Holland and getting him to climb some buildings without any safety equipment. Back in October I was given the opportunity to shot some 360° Performing Arts content for a Google Cultural Institute project.
