Hugh, thanks for such an interesting tutorial! Love the results 😃

[drisommer]

You are amazing!!! Thank you for all you do for immersive creators, there's really no one that shares as much valuable information like you :)

[AmbientArchitecture]

Amazing tutorial as per usual, would be totally lost without you Hugh! Thank you!

[EyesOpenMedia]

Hugh keep up the gr8 work! We definitely want the tutorial!!! Let’s go!

[ivanpazur]

Hi Hugh! Hi again... and many thanks again for the videos! Your help was immense... I am wondering if that longer, step by step tutorial explaining everything to a down detail is still an option?

[MikeVR]

Yes please on the hour-long, step-by-step, tutorial on the live streaming r5c color grading. ❤

This video here is awesome. I'm kicking myself for not identifying the Quest 3! Thank you! Again!

[mmdip]

Wow‼️ what great info
Thank you for sharing this information ✨🙏🏻✨👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[calafuria]

Yes Master Hou, please show us how to use OBS for live monitoring VR180 video on Meta Quest, that would be awesome for all the community of immersive filmmakers!

[acena]

Hail master of masters! Which of your videos do you recommend studying Color Grading in Adobe Premiere? I think it's an older video, but it will be perfect! Thank you for existing in our lives!

[kingnt]

Thank you Hugh!! A tutorial on how to setup OBS and connect Canon R5C Dual Fisheye lens for live video feeds in VR 180 would be awesome!!!

[jakemathew]

I would love it if you did a tutorial on how to do vfx/compositing/stabilizing footage and other post-production tasks for VR180. I create graphics/animations (Flat and VR180) and have been trying to find a way to composite these elements into VR180 footage. I've searched everywhere, and the only thing I can find is a tutorial you did in 2018, and it was more geared towards mono-360 footage.

[maxkangas]

Excellent info as usual. If you have time, can you make quick tutorial for VR 180 indoor light set up you use for filming please? Much appreciated all the tips you share.

[pingopallo]

Just found out about this channel, since I might take on some 360 color grading projects it would be great to have more info on how to do that in Davinci Resolve, the more content the better, thanks for this video!

[AeBlues]

please show that OBS preview to see VR from Resolve :) I use an adjustment fusion clip to preview after color page. pretty good vs the NDI stuff which is very cumbersome.

[Immersivedrive]

Thank you so much for your tutorial! Really hope you can show us how to get livefeeds of Canon Dual fisheys lens, thanks!

[marconcinidavide]

Hi man thank you very much to share with us your big study and knoledge. i'm looking to stream from davinci resolve to meta quest 3, i was thinking to go from nobe display to obs and later stream in local network and open in meta quest broswer, but i got stack on how to set up easily a server on my mac m1. do you have any idea about this? how can i stream from obs to meta quest?

[rudyvanos]

Thank you for the great videos. I have the 3D 180 dual fisheye R5. Setup. Footage looks great and I have lots of filming background so that part I’m good.

Have you tried any motion graphics in After Effects? I know you did some in Resolve but I’m much more comfortable making graphic stuff in AE. Doesn’t even need to be have true 3D physical dept I just want to display it without giving people a headache, titles logos, animations etc.
One thing I found was the “stereo 3D toolkit” scripts plugin. Have you tried it? Maybe it’s even something we can figure out together! 👋

[captteemo]

Feedback for the video: Packed with many helpful tips and tricks but sometimes a bit too fast. And it would help if you at least show the way without paid plugins too if there is one (e.g. using KartaVR and Davincis Inbuilt color grading tools). Thanks a lot! :)

I am very excited for the next tutorial about rendering etc. Everything regarding your spatial audio workflow stayed as is?

[captteemo]

Hi Hugh :) Thanks for your quick reply!

1) Can I also do proxy workflow for Davinci? And that will not save many parts, just 1min from the beginning/end max.

2) So you also have much longer stitching and Topaz Upframing times for Prores instead of H265/H264?

What's the best way to upscale 360 degree content from a 5.7K camera like the Insta360 ONE X3? When I upload it to YouTube, it only displays 2160s for viewing, but I'd rather get the improved bitrate of 4320s. I have Resolve Studio, and Topaz Video AI. I'm willing to try other software too as long as its affordable.
