====Compression====
360 Video cannot typically be edited or compressed using any video software as it contains metadata to inform players about the specifics of the 360 degree sphere format. When using an unsupported editor, they can strip out this metadata and flatten the video.

  * Use the following {{ :digital_literacy:technology_resources:unity:preset_handbrake.zip |HandBrake 360 Camera Compression Presets}} to keep 360 metadata
=====Tips=====
===Samsung Gear 360===
This is an inexpensive 360 camera, however is no longer recommended by State Library as support for the product by Samsung is almost non-existent. The software for the camera has not been updated and users have reported issues with the latest versions of Android, iOS and Windows.

You can find the Windows and Mac software on [[https://www.samsung.com/au/support/model/SM-R210NZWAXSA/|Samsungs support site]]
