360 fly video camera

[f440nz]

Hi

Looking at purchasing a 360 fly that you support. I want to record with the camera upside down - so I can record inside the car and get the gear changing and pedals - the 360 fly will only record 240 degrees vertically - recording upside down will just miss the roof. The software supplied with the camera will swap the video around so it show the right way up. Will Race Render swap the video to the correct orientation?

Is the 360 fly the best 360 camera to use for in car video?

Thanks

Yes, RaceRender should automatically handle if the 360fly is pointed upwards or downwards, and you also have the ability to swap this manually if needed (double-click on your video in the "Input Files" list to view these options).

RaceRender can take the raw spherical footage directly from the 360fly cameras and automatically transform it into the necessary 2:1 equirectangular projection, while also using their metadata to account for the camera's orientation.

It can also accept the processed or "stitched" footage from various 360 cameras, when it's in a .mp4 file using the typical 2:1 equirectangular format. This is the defacto-standard format that most 360 video software produces, and is what's often used to upload to YouTube 360 and Facebook 360.

360 video works quite well on Windows 8 and Windows 10. Windows 7 is also possible if you run the 32-bit version and your system has QuickTime for Windows installed, but that isn't always optimal.
