GoPro is also working with Adobe to give pro users precision editing via Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC, which can natively handle 360-degree video at 8K, GoPro says.

Kolor Autopano Video is used for “fine-tuning,” and the final product is proofed via the GoPro VR player and published on the GoPro VR website or free mobile app. Here’s a typical Omni workflow: After a video is shot (or videos, rather), the content is sent to a computer via the Omni Importer, which lets the user preview, manage, and render the footage. To handle the stitching, GoPro includes Kolor Software, a VR startup it acquired last year. Because each Hero4 Black can shoot up to 4K, the final product is a video with resolutions at up to 8K you can view the high-resolution video through a headset, or downscale it for desktop viewing on YouTube. The Omni has an availability date of August 17.įirst teased during last year’s Re/code’s Code conference and announced last week, the Omni is a rig outfitted with six GoPro Hero4 Black action cameras - all synced to capture what becomes a 360-degree video. Designed to capture 360-degree videos that can be used for virtual reality experiences, the spherical array, called the Omni, is now available for pre-order at $5,000 for a complete package. GoPro’s six-camera rig has made its official debut at the 2016 NAB conference.
