I'm creating a slideshow using FCPX. Some of the Panorama pictures are imported as 360° format. I tried to find the option to import them as image but couldn't find one. Also, my project is not a 360° project. Does anyone know how to deal with that?
Right. Thanks very much. You just have to uncheck Orientation in the Video inspector and scale it down to size depending on your project properties.
Hi Luis, thanks for looking into this. Attached is the link to one of the affected pictures. Meanwhile I think I have found a workaround. When I remove all Metadata the import works correct.
Thanks,
Michael
More information, please.
What are the characteristics of these pictures? What is the file format, dimensions, ...
Can you open one in Preview, press command-I and take screenshots?
Better yet, could you post one example of original file that shows the problem, somewhere so we can test?
You could send it to yourself using wetransfer, then post the link here.
...just in case the link doesn't work here is another one.
There are no links in the messages. Did you use WeTransfer?
Sorry about that. I used the "Link Insertion" but that doesn't seem o work.
Thanks. Orientation doesn't have a checkbox. It only says 'Landscape' and I can't change that to anything else. Also image size is not editable. Nothing seems to be.
Put the image in your project, and you’ll find it in the Video inspector. It’s the Orientation controls for a 360 Image.
Got it. Thanks.
The image you uploaded doesn't seem to have any 360 metadata, but I don't think it's the original file. It doesn't have the original iPhone name. That said, because of the size and shape of the image I think, if you right-click on it and select New Project, it does automatically make a 360 project.
That is correct. The image is a stitched panorama taken with a Sony a6000. The project I'm working on is not a 360 project. I never said that. The image becomes a 360 image when importing it. One doesn't even have to import it. Just selecting the image in the import dialog window classifies it as a 360 image. See the thumbnail image in below screenshot.
