Is there a way to edit 360 video along with regular videos without losing video resolution?

[agurgranda97]

I am trying to edit footage from my gopro fusion on Final Cut Pro but it appears as though my 360 video clips are losing their resolution in the editing process. Is there a tutorial or some way to edit 360 footage along with regular clips without losing video resolution on the 360 footage?

I use Adobe Premiere Pro and don't have any issues. I use the GoPro vr plugins and a 1080p sequence. How do you control the FOV, YAW, and Rotation in FCP? I assume it has it's own plugins for converting 360 to 2D. You might have better luck on their forums.

If you get some good answers, please be sure to come back and share them as I know there are others using FCP and Fusion.

I tried using premiere pro today but the same issue occured, the video quality come out in lower definition than what my hero 5 can produce. I'm not entirely sure if maybe its just my footage after processing in Fusion Studio or some other cause. For Premiere do you stitch in Cineform? or another setting? Just trying to see where I may be going wrong. 

Also to answer your question yes FCP does have its own plugins to interpret ProRes videos from Fusion Studio with controls to manipulate FOV, roll, yaw, and rotation pretty well but as far as what I've expereinced my 360 videos aren't coming out in their best resolution once I use the VR effect to make it monoscopic.
