Muvee just launched a 360 video stitcher for the Mac, which can stitch Samsung Gear 360 videos and trim videos losslessly, and will add video editing features in the future.
The Samsung Gear 360 is currently the most affordable 4k 360 camera (until the TwoEyes VR camera is released). However, its photos and videos must be stitched on a compatible phone (Samsung S6 series, S7 series, or Note 5) or on a PC with the included software. Now, Muvee has made a stitching software for Mac users. The software is available for a free 15-day demo (with watermark). If you like it, you can buy the software for $49.95.
Users will get a free update that will add video editing features such as
– adjusting the exposure of either lens (I hope they include color adjustment),
– a storyboard to put multiple 360 photos together into a slideshow
– adding music.
Gear 360 ActionDirector is top of the line 360° video editing software designed specifically for and included with your Samsung Gear 360 camera. Gear 360 ActionDirector assists Gear 360 users by importing and automatically stitching videos and photos shot from your Gear 360, and provides several essential editing functions such as trimming, adding titles and creating transitions in your. The cameras supporting creating 360-degree videos include GoPro's Omni, Vuze Camera, Kandao Obsidian, Samsung Gear 360, etc. Users can play 360 degree videos with 360º video player, they can have a control of viewing direction by dragging the video around. It's a form of virtual reality. Aug 04, 2016 It appears you CAN stitch Samsung Gear 360 images on a Mac without 3rd party software after all. The Samsung Gear 360 (reviewed here) remains the most affordable 4k 360 video camera on the market at the moment. However, it is compatible only with the latest flagship Samsung smartphones (S6 and above). Workarounds have been.
I don't know yet the software can stitch Gear 360 photos and whether it will be able to put multiple 360 videos together.
The software is available here. Thank you very much to Richard Wildman for bringing this to my attention!
Get ready because the Samsung Gear 360 is seriously going to change the game.
To activate Action Director, you can either connect the Gear 360 to the PC or enter the serial number located on the Gear 360. Select the desired method, and then select Next. When the activation is complete, select OK. Gear 360 ActionDirector is top of the line 360° video editing software designed specifically for and included with your Samsung Gear 360 camera.

We've been closely following the release of the Samsung Gear 360 ever since it was announced earlier this year. Considering the amount of emails we get from you guys asking about the Gear 360 camera as well, we know you're as excited as we are to check out this little 360 wonder.
So as soon as we got our hands on a camera, of course we had to unbox it and film it. Be sure to watch the unboxing video above.
I am sure you want to know how it performs and compares to others, even though this is technically not yet available in the U.S.
This is hands down the best consumer 360° camera available on the market today.
After unboxing and syncing my S6 phone to the Gear 360, I tested capturing some footage around the beaches of Venice.
Shooting 3840×1920 @ 30fps with stereo sound and capturing video on a removable microSD card, the Gear 360 manager app on my S6 synced with little problems. I was able to shoot continuously for almost three hours before the battery in the camera died. The Gear 360 does have a removable battery, but I have no idea where to buy an extra one at this time.
You can view initial test footage below. Keep in mind, it was a very bright sunny day, so the direct sunlight did cause some lens flare and create variations in exposure between the two lenses, making the stitch line more obvious in some shots over others. When compared to footage from the Ricoh Theta S though, the Gear 360 blows it away with more clarity and resolution.
Be sure to subscribe on YouTube for future videos where I will test indoor and low-light footage next.
So why is the Gear 360 a game changer? Well for starters, all the necessary stitching is performed by the phone with the Gear 360 Manager app or Samsung's Gear 360 Action Director software for PC that is included with the camera. Real-time preview of stitched footage on your phone makes composing your shot and watching your stitch line a breeze. A rumored price-point comparable to competitors with half the resolution is fantastic. After shooting and previewing footage on your phone, you're a couple clicks away from sharing straight to YouTube 360 or Facebook 360, just like other popular photo/video editing apps we've grown used to.
Get rid of hours of stitching, make shooting/reviewing on-the-go simple, give us close to 4k footage, and let anyone share straight to their social profiles – you have a consumer 360° camera for everyone – game changer!
Aside from strangers constantly staring at the camera in curiosity, the only other problem I came across in my short time testing was the S6 overheating from continual shooting and previewing of footage on the phone. Being in direct sunlight didn't help, but at one point the phone got so hot I could barely hold it in my bare hand.
We want to hear from you, will you get a Gear 360 when it goes on sale? Also let us know what you want us to shoot next.
How much does the Gear 360 cost?Samsung 360 Camera Software
As of writing, Samsung has yet to release more information about the price of their Gear 360 camera. What we do know is that on April 29th, Samsung began selling limited quantities of the Gear 360 in-store in Korea and Singapore only. The price came out to around $350.00.
I have also seen hints of the Gear 360 price pop up in the UK and on retailer sites for $400. So we can hopefully assume that it will sell in the range of $350 – $400. Keep in mind you will need a current Samsung phone like the Note 5, S6, or S7 to take advantage of the Gear 360 manager app, but if you already own one, this is a great price point.
When will the Gear 360 be released?Considering the Gear 360 is already available in limited quantities in Korea and Singapore, we can't be that far off. Some retailers like Adorama in the US have commented on a delivery date of 'second week of June,' and since Samsung has already announced Q2 2016 availability, that fits in line with the story.
