Hi Ulf57 -

Steve's almost certainly right - it's a limitation of the trial version. See here under Product Information.

The Xiaomi 360 records at 3456 x 1728 @ 30fps (40mbps or 55 mbps), 2304 x 1152 @ 60fps or 2048 x 512 @ 120fps (Bullet time), which puts it in the 2K-4K range.

I couldn't find an original sample clip to test, but I'd be confident it'd be compatible with the full version of PDR16.

Cheers - Tony

In trail version, you get the limited option. To use the advanced version you need to buy it.

websiteee! Yes, thanks I will do that! Managed to import .mov and normal.mp4 and test the stabilization and it looks promising. I can't find a way to level the horisont, though - just rotating.

Hi again!
I bought the software suit ($79) and it works real good.
It imports all videoformat I've tried.
So far so good...
I have a question that maby one of you that's been using it for a while can answer:
It recognizes 3D Top/bottom videos (Vuze), I can import them and even see the video as a TB video in the window.
It also say's that PowerDirector can output/render 3D videos (after fixing this and that) and that I somwhere can choose between 3D and 2D...but I can't find that choise.
So when I render the video, it comes out as a 2D (left window) video???
Anyone knows how to render out TB videos from PowerDirector?

I have never used that feature dure to lack of 3D footage...
But in the Produce section there are four tabs:

Standard 2D
3D
Device
Online

Choose 3D?

Hello Hatti!
Thanks!!
Yes, for normal videos this function works and we can output SBS or anaglyph 3D video.
But I don't find the same thing for 360 video...
Maby they add the function soon

There is no need of such a function. Import your 360° footage. If you add those footage to the timeline, PD will ask you, what kind of project you will make: 360° or 2D.
If you choose 360°, you can edit your video and PD will produce a 360° video. That is 2:1 aspect ratio with a special marker, that it is 360°. I did this many times and after uploading it to Youtube it was shown as 360°.
If you choose 2D, you can use the view designer, where you can select the part of 360° where you want to look at. And PD will produce a normal video in 16:9 aspect ratio.
