Changing focal point of 360 video

[daveosaurus]

I've exported a 360 VR video from Google Earth Studio to use as an intro for a tour.

When looking at it in Premiere Pro, it's nicely centred on the point of interest.

However, when I use the video file for a node (Panorama Properties > Input Video > Select the video file, format: Equirectangular) and run the tour on localhost to test, the focal point is way off.

As it's playing in the browser, I can click and drag to change the focal point, but I wondered how to set/change whatever Pano2VR *thinks* is the focal point, so it will always load and be focused on the correct point in the first place?

I can't see any controls/options for changing the focal point, and Pano2VR is not using the "default" which would be correct.

Thanks for any help!

Hi,
Use the Viewing parameters and set the default view.

I've just been doing some more experimenting, and I see now that the 360 video's focal point depends on where I enter the video from (in virtual space).

So if I enter from a node that's north of the video's node, it plays differently than if I enter from a node that's west of the video's node.

This old help video shows the animation feature being used on a video that's been added to a node (timestamped link: https://youtu.be/uZ8HQU22rFM?t=273) but it took a bit of playing around in the different UI of the version I'm using (7.0.9) to add a clip which then picks the video and doesn't just add the still.

I looked at your link @Hopki but the issue here is I can't see the video in the viewer when setting the default view. I only see the 360 photo. And I want the photo's heading to be different from the video's. If that makes sense?

But, now I'm in the animation editor, I can add keyframes and reset the pan and tilt for the video to 0, which will hopefully work
