360° videos

360° videos are videos, in which video is recorded in all directions simultaneously.
Special cameras are used for this, consisting of several normal cameras that record in
different directions. In the simplest case, they're two cameras with super wide angle
lenses that record in two directions; better models use six or more cameras.

The result is that the viewer can view "around" him or herself by determining the view
direction. To do so, drag the mouse during playback on PC. On mobile devices, the
built-in orientation sensor can be used: The view direction follows the device's
rotation. In combination with VR glasses or a smartphone attachment such as
Samsung Gear VR or Google Cardboard, it is possible to be completely submerged in
a virtual environment with a 360° video.

360° videos are supported by the most important video platforms like YouTube and
Vimeo.

Technically, 360° videos are regular, two-dimensional videos. The images of the
sphere surface around the camera are displayed distorted, similarly to how the Earth's
surface is projected onto flat maps of the world. This results is relatively large videos
in order to provide enough resolution along the strongly distorted edges after
rectification.

Note: This function is available only in the Plus/Premium version.

There are two ways to work with 360° in MAGIX Movie Edit Pro:
1. Creating a 360° video from your 360° output material and adding content
(videos, images and titles) and effects to it, or
2. adding your 360° content to a normal video and specifying the display section
and direction of view.
