How to get orientation/mapping panel to show in FCPX (360/tiny planet)

I'm trying to make a tiny planet with 360° video clip. I've got the reorient panel, but there is no orientation or mapping panel. In info panel, I have 360 projection mode set as equirectangular, and monoscopic.

I've imported my 360 video from my insta360 camera into the insta360 studio app, I've exported the video from the insta360 studio app in both the "export reframed video" and "export 360 video" options. I've imported it into FCPX in a couple different ways but I still don't get the orientation or mapping panel.

I've been told that in order to make tiny planet with 360° video clip that i need too "Scroll down to the Orientation section, click the Mapping pop-up menu, then choose Tiny Planet."

I see the "reorient" panel but no "orientation" or mapping options.

If you want the Orientation panel (I prefer it too!), you need to make a standard project (not 360). Import your 360 footage and you should have the Orientation panel and Transform *active*.

The Orientation panel has the Field of View and Mapping parameters whereas those two parameters are not available in a 360 project and you just have the Reorient panel with Tilt(X), Pan(Y) and Roll(Z) as the only available parameters..
