I have recently purchased a Samsung Gear 360 camera which came with the software for Action Director.

Initial thoughts re this product is it seems to be a rather slimmed down verison of Project Director which I also use.

I have taken a number of clips using the new camera and loaded them to Action Director. I have then selected a text template called Movie Opening 2 which I have inserted on the timeline before the actual 360 degree clips. I have similarly inserted a text template at the end of the video displaying my name and contact details as I am a real estate agent.

I have then produced the video from within the software and fired it straight to Youtube.

This all works fine yet once it displays on Youtube the text templates are also converted into 360 degree clips which makes it very hard to see the details my clip is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfIWbdbEz38

I wondered if I am doing something basically wrong or if anyone else is experiencing these sorts of issus.

I also wonder if Action Director has been released to coincide with the release of the Samsung Gear 360 camera and really has not been developed to the extent it should be.

Other things I notice as there seems to be only one track in the timeline whereas Project Director has many. Any thoughts anyone?

Any suggestions from people using this relatively new product would be most welcome.



As for the camera it takes brilliant footage and the stitching in Action Director isn't bad. A bug bear on the Samsung side is the beggers have only made the app available on the S7 S7 Edge and the Note 5.

Kinda sucks one into a new phone and their whole vertical integral of products.



Cheers
