Embarking on a 360º / VR Video Project?
We are here to assist you with our audio-post production services.
Below are some technical tips and information for your reference:
-
Do provide us with information regarding which platform(s) you are releasing your project on (i.e. Youtube, Oculus, Facebook etc..).
-
If you have any delivery/publishing specifications for the platform(s) you are targeting, please provide them to us before we begin work on the project.
-
We strictly work on finalised visual edit / edit-locked / pic-locked version only.
Recommended Video Format:
- Resolution: 4k (3840 x 1920 mono or 3840 x 3840 stereo)
- Video Container: MP4
- Video Codec: H.264 Progressive Scan
- Bitrate: 20 Megabits per second
- Please include burn-in timecode (BITC) overlay/counter in the visual.
Audio Guidelines:
- Please provide us with an embedded AAF or OMF containing any audio synced with the visuals.
- Preferably, include 8seconds or 200 frames of handles for the audio files when exporting.
- Sample rate and bit depth will vary with different platforms. If unsure, please provide us with 24bit, 48kHz audio.
- If your project’s audio includes any recorded spatial audio, do inform us of what format it is in (i.e. Quad, B-format FuMa or ambiX). If available, please provide us with a log of any rotation to the visuals made during the edit.
