Gear 360 software wont stitch trimmed video

[gecko]

Hi,

I'm using Gear 360 camera to film 360 videos.

Unfortunately, the built-in camera /phone processors are too slow to stitch the 360 videos. Instead, I copy the video (unstitched) to computer, to be processed by Action Director Software (Samsung OEM).

Any unmodified video from the camera, copied onto pc, can be processed and stitched by Action Director. However, if videos are trimmed, using ffmpeg, the software will not stitch the videos.

Is a metadata tag preventing stitching?


ffmpeg command:
ffmpeg -i 360_0001.mp4 -vcodec copy -ss 00:00:02 -to 00:00:03 outcut.mp4

Videos:

2- Trimmed - outcut.mp4: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cQP8cv7y8o3mSQiHiUa4kMBa_JWKU0c6/view?usp=sharing

Sorry for the delay in responding.

I really can't say for sure what Action Director requires to be able to stitch the video (maybe you should ask them).  But I think your guess is correct that may be related to some metadata.
