(5)Stitching Process

  1. notes:
  2. 1、To enhance the quality of video stitching, create a folder named "background" in the source video path, and place a set of background images (jpg) in it. Rename these images sequentially as 1-8.jpg.
  3. 2、Background images must be static scene images captured by Obsidian Pro. In the same scene, you can use a set of jpg images as background before shooting videos. Alternatively, you can select one frame (without obstruction) from your previously shot 8 fisheye source videos as a background image.

Stitching Settings Area: 

(1) Calibration 

Kandao Studio reads the lens calibration parameters by default during import. This function allows recalibration of parameters for selected materials. Lens Calibration: Kandao Studio's automatic calibration corrects the frames of 8 lenses, optimizing for errors caused by lens parameters. Calibration generally improves issues like black spots, ghosting, and misalignment in the frame. When calibrating, avoid selecting frames where the lens is significantly obstructed. Special scenes can be corrected through repeated calibration, and adjustments to stitching parameters won't affect the calibration results after completing the calibration of the source materials.

(2) Mode 

Supports single-head mode (2D) and top-bottom mode (3D).

(3) Chromatic Aberration Calculation Frequency 

Obsidian Pro has 8 lenses, and exposures and colors may differ. Chromatic aberration needs to be eliminated in areas where colors are discordant. Normal: 30 frames per second, suitable for stable scenes with no drastic lighting changes. Fast: 10 frames per second, suitable for scenes with slight lighting changes. Frame by Frame: 1 frame per second, suitable for scenes with drastic lighting changes or camera motion.

(4) Processing 

Image Flip: Flips the image 180 degrees.

(5) Basic Color Adjustment and LUT 

Supports basic color adjustment for videos and images and allows for stylized editing using custom LUTs.

(6) Select Exported Video Interval 

By selecting the start and end points on the timeline, set the duration interval for exporting videos. The minimum export duration is 1 second.

(7) Render Export 

Add selected materials to the rendering queue, choose the export format, and complete stitching and exporting.
