💾  Supported formats

For 360˚ videos:

We support MP4 containers with H.264 or H.265 encoded video. For monoscopic video the aspect ratio should be 2:1 equirectangular. For stereoscopic we expect a top-bottom orientation (1:1 aspect ratio). The size limit per video file is 5GB. More information about transcoding can be found here.

For flat videos:

We support any file with an MP4 container. Advised aspect ratio is 16:9.

For flat images:

We support both JPG and PNG images.

💿 Uploading

You can use different types of media to create engaging VR scenarios in Warp Studio, such as:

• 360˚ and 180˚ videos
• 360˚ and 180˚ images
• Flat (2D) videos and images, as part of the media panel and elements with tooltips

Open a scenario and navigate to the Media page. Either drag and drop the media or click on the red Upload media button located in the top right. Click the type of media you would like to upload and select the files from your device.

After uploading, if it's a video file, it will take a few minutes to transcode the video into different formats. When the transcoding process is done, video thumbnails are shown.

❗️Important information:

• For 180˚ media, if your interactive elements are placed of the viewable 180˚ area, a warning message will be shown.

• An auto-transition element doesn't work with an image file.
• For images, all interactive elements appear directly at the start of the scene. There is no slider to control when elements will appear, as it is for video files.

🔗 Link videos to scenes

Once your videos have been uploaded to the Media page, there are two ways to link them to scenes:

• From the flow editor
• From the media page

When linking videos from the flow editor, select the scene you wish to link a video to. Next, either click the three dots for the scene dropdown menu and select Link media file, or just click the Media tab in the sidebar directly and then click Link media file.

If you link from the Media page, click on a video and select Add a scene. This will show a dropdown of all the scenes from the scenario flow.

🪄 Video editor

The video editor is the place to position all elements in the video and edit several other settings. It consists of the following sections:

• Video area
• Sidebar
• Controls

Please visit the video editor article to learn more about each of these sections and their functionalities.
