I have the Samsung Gear 360 (2016 version) and the video it produces is fairly good when set to the 4K mode (actually just tandem 2K, but still good).

Using Samsung Gear 360 ActionDirector (by Cyberlink) for stitching, works ok though I wish it used the CPU to its fullest.

My problem is that when I load the output file sinto PowerDirector 16 to edit the video, the stabilization for 360 video that PD16 offers seems to be completely nonfunctional. When I enable it, I see no noticeable difference compared to unstabilized video.

What am I missing?

Thanks

You missed nothing. It should work. For me it does.

But the stabilizer jumps, when there is a huge contrast change in the clip. In 360, there are many huge contrast changes in the clip, when there is sunshine.

Each clip is treated separately. So the last frame of a clip is stabilized different from the first clip of the next clip. So there is always a jump between clips.

Did you choose the right "360°" format of the timeline?
My clips are saved in about 2GB slices. Each one about 11 minutes long. Is it different from yours?
Did you try to switch off hardware acceleration in PD16?
