VideoStitch Studio
What VideoStitch Studio is
VideoStitch Studio is desktop software for joining video files into standard 360° video for immersive VR post-production. It can synchronize footage automatically using audio, motion, or flashes, and also supports manual synchronization. Calibration can run automatically, and users can import stitching templates from PTGui or Hugin. Color correction covers vignetting, camera response curves, exposure, and white balance. Stabilization and orientation controls use keyframes created automatically. A timeline provides previews of source footage and stitched output, frame selection, and a working-area setting. A batch stitching workflow can render multiple projects, and the software supports multiple output formats. It is free and MIT-licensed, though third-party components have their own licenses. Windows, macOS, and Linux are build platforms, but feature availability varies. The 2.4.1 release is for macOS with OpenCL; Windows users are directed to version 2.4.0.
