Equirectangular 360 VR ready footage in Blender Cycles for Youtube

Support Compositing and Post Processing

I’ve been wanting to figure out how to do 360 equirectangular footage for a while now. I know how to select the camera and go to panoramic and select equirectangular but I don’t know how to stitch it together so that it will work in Youtube. I also don’t know if you need to do anything more then that if you want to make it VR capable as well. Can anyone help me with this?

Equirectangular footage is what you need to upload… you need to make it into a MP4 then load it in with metadata using their app – https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6178631?hl=en

i normally use “HandBreak” to convert my uncompressed OGV video files to mp4 or MKV
and upload the mkv or mp4 video to YouTube or vimo

You can just export mp4 from blender
