360° to Multi

Features
Read full description

Multi360 turns ONE 360° video into several angles at the same time. Instead of reframing a single view like other 360° apps, Multi360 shows the same moment from up to eight virtual cameras side by side — and exports the whole layout as a single MP4. Recitals, family gatherings, trips, events — capture every angle from just one 360° video. Sharing made simple: “Send to family” exports one view as a regular video within chat-app limits. “YouTube (full 360°)” exports the whole sphere with 360° metadata — upload it unlisted, send the link, done. Everything stays on your device, with no cloud and no subscription. No footage yet? No problem. On first launch, a bundled sample video (a lighthouse and coastline) plays in four views at once, so you can try multi-view, keyframes, little planet and photo extraction right away. ■ Features • Watch multiple angles at once: 1 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 panes • Drag each view to aim it freely, with a direction compass • Auto-framing: detects faces and salient regions and aims the panes for you • Follow people: automatically builds several candidate videos — per person, highlight moment, direction of travel, slow look-around — to compare side by side • Send to family: one view as a regular video within chat-app limits • YouTube (full 360°): 2:1 export with 360° metadata • Horizon levelling from the camera’s sensor data • Composite export: combine your chosen angles into a single MP4 • Choose export quality (Standard / High / Max) • Export as portrait 9:16, square 1:1 or landscape 16:9 • Set an export range (in / out points) • Pinch to zoom each pane (40–100° field of view) • Keyframe camera paths: set direction and zoom over time and every pane glides smoothly in one video • Little-planet view and slow auto-pan, per pane • Save screenshots (with or without a compass) • Loop toggle, scrubbing, audio playback • iPhone, iPad and Mac (Universal Purchase) • Save projects and pick up where you left off (autosave, recent projects) • Cut high-quality photos from 360° video (flat, little planet or 360° photo, with date and location) • Make One for Me: open a video, tap once, and get a 30-second highlight that switches angles • Music: import your own song and angles switch on the beat. Fine-tune on the timeline and export it mixed with the original sound • Text: add titles, captions, date and place to your export • Overlay GPS speed, route and altitude on your export (GoPro, Insta360, GPX) • Export in 4K and HEVC 10-bit (ProRes 422 / HQ on Mac) • Color adjustments and .cube LUT import • Gyro stabilization (Insta360) ■ Supported video • Insta360 .insv / .lrv (dual fisheye) — opens directly, no conversion • GoPro MAX / MAX 2 .360 — opens directly, no conversion • DJI Osmo 360 .OSV — opens directly; lens calibration is read from the file • Ricoh THETA video (.MP4) • Equirectangular 360° video (MP4 / MOV) • Direct links to 360° video (.mp4 / .mov / .m3u8) ■ Pricing Viewing is free. Try one composite export free (first 15 seconds, small logo). Unlock full-length, unlimited exports with a one-time Pro purchase — not a subscription. Features added in future updates are included at no extra cost. Works across iPhone, iPad and Mac. ■ Privacy Everything runs on your device; your videos are never uploaded. No ads. Pro exports carry no watermark or logo. Note: how each angle looks can vary by camera and shooting conditions.

Read full description

Suila VR is a VR / 360° video player for iPhone. You supply the videos: open them from the Files app, AirDrop, Photos, a computer or a NAS. The app has no built-in library, no account, no ads, and collects no data. Playback • Projections: 360°, 180°, fisheye, cubemap, flat. Videos with Apple APMP projection metadata are detected automatically; others are guessed from the file name and aspect ratio, or set by hand. • Stereo: side-by-side (SBS), over-under (OU), MV-HEVC spatial video. • Formats: mp4, mov, m4v, mkv, avi, webm, ts and more; formats the iPhone cannot play natively are handled by the built-in FFmpeg. • Raw Insta360 .insv files play directly (X3, X4, X5, X6, ONE RS 1-inch), with gyro horizon leveling. Viewing • Handheld: turn the phone to look around, drag with a finger, pinch to zoom. • Headset mode: split-screen for both eyes, with lens distortion, chromatic aberration, IPD and field of view set for Cardboard-type headsets. • Game controllers and keyboards are supported. Subtitles External SRT / VTT / ASS / SMI (encoding detected automatically) and embedded tracks; timing offset, font, size and outline are adjustable. Files Play in place from the Files app without copying; link an iCloud or NAS folder and only its location is remembered; in-app files can be organized into folders, moved and renamed, and a folder can play continuously. A sample 360° video, filmed by us, can be downloaded from Settings. Suila VR Pro (one-time purchase, Family Sharing supported) • Direct NAS access: connect to a NAS over SMB; credentials are kept in the device keychain. • Automatic captions and translation: on-device speech recognition and translation; audio does not leave the device (iPhone 12 or later). • Insta360 conversion: raw dual-fisheye files to 360° HEVC video with APMP metadata, up to 5760×2880, in batches. • Spatial video: convert SBS / OU to MV-HEVC. • APMP: add Apple projection metadata to existing 360° videos. This app uses FFmpeg and libsmb2 (LGPL-2.1); licence notices and source links are in Settings → About → Open Source Licences.
