In this easy-to-follow video tutorial, we take a look at how to manually stitch dual-lens 360\u00b0 footage in Adobe After Effects.<\/h2>\n

If you own a consumer-level 360\u00b0 camera (which\u00a0usually have two fish-eye lenses), you may have realized your options for manually stitching the footage are quite\u00a0limited. Most consumer 360\u00b0 cameras include some form of basic stitching software that will automatically stitch your footage.\u00a0However, the results are often less than desirable and almost always have noticeable seamlines. (And in some cases, the\u00a0stand-alone software can actually degrade your\u00a0360\u00b0 footage even more.)<\/p>\n

In this tutorial, we\u2019ll look at how we can manually stitch dual-lens 360\u00b0 footage entirely in Adobe After Effects with the new Immersive Video tools.\u00a0This can benefit people who don’t own an expensive stitching program<\/a> but do have After Effects.\u00a0With this method, users can now stitch their own footage, which often yields much better results than the basic stitching software that comes with consumer-level 360\u00b0 cameras.<\/p>\n
