Virtual Reality (VR) is the next big thing across industries and Google has built special tools to help the technology excel in the field of gaming or entertainment.
Google has designed its new VR180 Creator tool for Mac and Linux which makes it easy to edit footage from cameras using the immersive format, Engadget reported. The tool is designed to work with footage from cameras that use Google's VR180 format.
The tool essentially converts VR photos and videos into normal perspective in 2D. VR180 Creator currently offers two features for VR videos. “Convert for Publishing” takes raw fisheye footage from VR180 cameras like the Lenovo Mirage Camera and converts it into a standardized equirect projection. It turns the footage into a standard format to be edited in software such as Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro and share it after adding VR180 metadata.
The VR180 Creator tool can be downloaded directly from Google and supports macOS 10.9+ and 64-bit Linux.
