BEST 3D Spatial Audio Workflow for Meta Quest & YouTube VR | FB360 Encoder NO FFmpeg Error
Рет қаралды 19,111
Күн бұрынMETA stop support for Facebook 360 Spatial Workstation - one of the best FREE tools for 3D Spatial Audio post-production. But don't worry! I saved the latest version for you here to download for free!
⤵️Old Facebook Audio360 Suite download link: bit.ly/3Qme1G5 (the Spatial Workstation, Rendering SDK, and a fully working compiled FB360 Encoder version for both Windows 10/11 and MacOS - without any FFMpeg error!!)
Now, why not take this opportunity to learn the NEW 2024 workflow? It is a lot easier and will give you professional sounding 360° spatial audio for Meta Quest, DeoVR, and KZfaq VR releases. This workflow works perfectly for the Canon EOS R5C / R5 with Canon dual fisheye lens and the Insta360 camera like the One RS 1" 360 or Insta360 Titan.

I am used to having a auto file that come sin 4 tracks for the entire environment (Ambisonic A or B First Order) I guess this was created just using two stereo microphones for each instrument rather than a single microphone that records ambisonic for the entire environment? So we are manually creating the spacial audio with the plugins. If you already have first order ambisonic from a Zoom H3N or something, how much can this process be simplified?

There are not many ambisonic concert examples except the official Oculus production. I hope after this tutorial, the more spatial audio VR experience is popping up. Audio help further remove motion sickness and provide real immersion. Well worth the trouble to do it right!

@@benleete1595 Final Cut does handle things such as 3D titles in 360 really well. I've been trying this in Resolve, and while I love the software's incredible power the workflow for doing titles in 360 in Resolve is insane. Stuff I can do quickly and easily and render out fast in FCP takes a *huge* amount more effort to set up and many hours to render in Resolve, and much of the time the render fails. Sure, "get a more powerful computer," I get it. But doing literally the same task in FCP with the same clips is totally fine.

This video works 100% on Meta Quest and even on Pico system now like Neo 4. But the problem is NOT the workflow - it is DeoVR. Last time I check, they don't follow Meta standard - I also don't think Meta suggest content release on DeoVR or any other third party players - as they do not utilize 100% hardware level acceleration playback. I forgot the technical term, but Meta said in their docs only official Meta Quest TV utilize their hardware correctly - including their patented TBE ambisonic format. The only way is to down your channels from 10 TBE to KZfaq 1st order ambisonic 4 channels. I believe DeoVR support KZfaq ambisonic format at least. I think it is a running problem tho Deo having audio issue. I don't use DeoVR at this moment so I don't really know the technical format for them. I will suggest posting your content on official Meta Quest TV which is a correct way to be viewed on Meta Quest headset. Third party players are always a wildcard as it sit on top of Meta API

[ UPDATED in 7-1-2023 - 100% working ] For anyone having a tough time installing the FB360 Encoder - FFMpeg error or can't render correctly - please try these fixes: 1. Use this link to download the whole install package (NEW 2023 solution - work for both Win 10 / 11 and MacOS 😍): bit.ly/3CUcrGn 2. FFmpeg has to be version 3.2 not higher or lower. 3. GPAC version has to be 0.08.1 4. Python version has to be 2.7.x not 3.x.x Hopefully, all these tips help anyone having trouble. Mac, it is easier than PC as well. So if it is still not working, borrow an old Mac from your friends :) [ UPDATE in 12-1-2023 - 100% working V2] Here is a link for another dist from my personal G-drive: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gWWvKAsQt7DGb1Em0WQTFnnNrSAPAfuW 1. Just install and no need to worry about FFMPEG, it will install for you. It will just work. 2. GPAC 0.8.1 : drive.google.com/file/d/16QYbAeg_HkwMmhYhfE26E_0hT8yPYNHi/ 3. Python this version work for me: www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/ 4. Install all three components, go to FB360 Encoder - Options - Preferences - point your python path and GPAC path to your installation folder paths and you are good to go. Comment here if you still having problem.

Hello Hou, I absolutely love your videos. I want to shoot the most realistic 360 videos with a lot of the shots focusing on items or people within 5-8 feet of the camera. On a budget of 6,000 dollars (could do 6,500, prefer 6,000), what camera should I buy? I am looking for the best quality for playing via virtual home theater on the Meta Quest 2 (which will hopefully soon become a Meta Quest Pro).

Sounds like 3D-180 video would deliver the best impact. See if you can get a Canon R5 (or R5C?) plus the Canon RF 5.2mm f2.8 dual fisheye lens for your budget; it should be just about do-able. The content I've seen in headset that was shot with this camera and lens is stunning, and that is definitely in part because this is a great hardware solution.

Hi Hugh, first of all many many thanks for all your support. you converted me from an simple x3/phone editor to a Insta360 pro II/premiere editor. However all seems to end with the FB360 Encoder that I can not get to work. I copied the files you provided in the directory as you indicated, tried to install FFmpeg separately, installed previous versions of FB360 encoder and have done this on two different computers, but the FFmpeg error keeps appearing. I don't think we will solve this easily but is there another tool where I can combine the audio and video track?

Saying that, you can reassign your 16chan master mix to 4chan et then use Premiere pro to add the 4chan mix to your video by using the correct configuration and export with VR ambisonic presets, it will inject the correct metadata. Premiere support 1st order only for now. I havent been able to find an alternative to FB360 to encode video with 2nd or 3rd order audio and correct metadata. In the Quest2, oculus file viewer play 1st order correctly but must of the VR viewer app require 2nd or 3rd order mix.
