[[VideoStitch]] is a project focused on bringing the highest quality Post-production and Live [[360 Video|360° video]] content creation software to content producers and creatives all over the world. Its origins date back to 2010 and the company creators were faced with a difficult task of how to manually stitch footage for their [[360 Video|360-degree videos]]. This problem gave birth to the VideoStitch software and other related tools. The company has managed to raise $2.75m and its headquarters are located in Paris.
==Software Products==
[[VideoStitch Studio]] is a flagship product of VideoStitch, and it greatly simplifies the otherwise demanding task of stitching individual video files into a single seamless 360 video suitable for [[virtual reality]] use. The software automates the whole video stitching process and includes many sophisticated features such as real-time preview, automatic calibration, PTGui or Hugin editing, video stabilization, intuitive orientation controls, automatic exposure compensation, exposure and color correction, frame-accurate synchronization, multi-GPU support, and extensive compatibility with many established [[VR HMD|VR headsets ]] and players.
Finished videos can be played using [[Vahana VR]], which is another software solution developed by VideoStitch. It is said to be the world’s first live VR video software, and it enables real-time playback of 360 videos in resolutions up to 8k or more. The software is compatible with all current platforms and ready for professional broadcasting application.
==Hardware Products==
The company manufactures several different hardware solutions built specifically for 360-degree video capture. Amateurs and professionals who do not plan on broadcasting their footage live using Vahana VR can choose from a selection of ready to use [[GoPro|GoPro rigs]]. These rigs support from 6 to 10 GoPro cameras, and their use ranges anywhere from general purpose videography to Ultra HD video production with the full spherical [[field of view]]. An alternative to the GoPro system is the [[ELMO Panoramic ]] system, which contains 4 QBiC wide angle cameras.
However, these systems are not designed for live 360-degree video broadcasting due to their insufficient cable management. [[The Freedom 360 Broadcaster ]] rig solves this issue, leaving only 40° blind spot where cables and power supply come out.
==360 Video Stitching==
First, the individual footage is captured using a setup of the camera with overlapping fields of view, which together produce a 360-degree field of view. These footages are automatically stitched together to produce a single panoramic video in a “world map” style of geometric projection. It is up to the video player to decide which parts of the video to show to the user.
