With Photoshop, it’s easy to convert the still images from your 360 views into an MP4 file. This is especially helpful if you’re trying to show your 360 views on Amazon, YouTube, or some other gigantic juggernaut website.
Step 1: Open Photoshop & Choose Your ImageMake sure each set of 360 view images gets put into its own folder. This will not work if you have multiple sets of 360 view images in a single folder. Once Photoshop is open, go to File > Open. Next, select the folder that has your 360-degree images and click on the first image (just the first image–do not select them all). Before clicking “Open”, click the checkbox for “Image Sequence”.
Step 2: Open & Choose Your Video SettingsClick Open. A dialog will open. Select “Custom” for the frame rate and enter a frame rate between 3 and 7. Anything outside of that range is usually too slow or too fast. However, feel free to experiment and set it to a speed that lets people see your product at a comfortable rotation speed.
Step 3: Set the Video LengthTo to increase the length of your video, select the layer and click Layer > Duplicate Layer. The more times you duplicate the latter, the longer the video will be. Shoppers are more inclined to click a short video, so try to keep yours in the range of 30 to 60 seconds.
All done!
If you notice that your video has black bars along the top or sides, then don’t worry – these were going to show up no matter what! However, if you go back and re-crop your images to an aspect ratio of 16:9 (or 1920×1080 pixels) then you can say goodbye to those black bars, and your video will have a perfectly white background.
