New to exif tool and working with 360 vid. I am trying to insert the correct metatags so the mp4 is recognized as a 360 Vid on Facebook. This is what I tried, but it seems to corrupt the file:
exiftool -ProjectionType="equirectangular" /home/path/to/file.mp4
Any advice would be great! Thanks.
I don't think that ExifTool will be able to do what you want. It has only very limited write abilities for MP4 videos -- it can only change some existing date/time tags and write XMP.

There would be no way for me to inject:
<?xml version="1.0"?><rdf:SphericalVideo
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:GSpherical="http://ns.google.com/videos/1.0/spherical/"><GSpherical:Spherical>true</GSpherical:Spherical><GSpherical:Stitched>true</GSpherical:Stitched><GSpherical:ProjectionType>equirectangular</GSpherical:ProjectionType><GSpherical:StitchingSoftware>Gear 360 Manager 1.0.4</GSpherical:StitchingSoftware></rdf:SphericalVideo>
into an MP4?
I don't know where you want to write this. ExifTool can only do it if it is in XMP. And you would have to create user-defined tags for your GSpherical namespace.

ExifTool 11.54 or later has the ability to write this as GSphericalXML in the video track. Also, more recent versions have much more ability to write tags in MOV/MP4 videos.
