The final version for Autopano Video 3.0 is now available! Autopano Video 3.0 is packed with new features that makes VR creators workflow easier and faster.

Autopano Video 3.0 is also much faster than the previous versions: NVIDIA users can get up to 5 times better previewing performances and up to 3 times better rendering performances thanks to the implementation of CUDA technology.

Autopano Video Pro licenses purchased on or after May 17, 2017 are eligible for a FREE upgrade.

Change Log:

D.WARP

D.WARP technology offers a new way to stitch footage from the GoPro Omni rig and dramatically reduces the need for post-processing. Just click on the D.WARP button and many stitching errors due to parallax will be removed. It works for both static and moving shots! We have 3 presets to cover most of the situations:

Prioritize space: “Try to correct as much parallax artifact as possible: correction can be very different from one frame to another.” You should use it when everything is moving in your scene, and when you have fast space or subject changes.
Prioritize time: “Try to correct parallax artifact with greater respect to temporal coherency: moving objects can be less corrected but your background won’t be moving.” You should use it for a static camera scene.Warning: computation can be long using this mode.
Still mode: a medium D.WARP will be computed for your entire sequence and won’t be changing over time. Use for static camera and when the content is changing/moving extremely slowly or not changing at all.

This feature can be used with 3 or more cameras, both partial and full-spherical rigs are supported.

GPU – CUDA accelerations

The preview in Autopano Video 3, using CUDA accelerations, can be up to 5 times faster than before. And the rendering time can be divided by a factor 3. The software capabilities will highly depend on your NVidia card and driver versions. We recommend using at least a GTX 760. For now 4K UHD inputs are not supported. Make sure to take a look at the “known issues” section at the end of the change log to see what is supported in CUDA workflow. Note that this feature is only avalaible on Windows and Linux.

Individual camera export for post processing

From the new batch renderer you are now able to export individually each camera warped on the sphere. You will have an alpha layer if you are using CineForm ‘high’ 4444 or ProRes 4444 XQ. This allow you to work on your stitching / cutting / masking in a post processing software. To use this feature you just need to check the box ‘export individual video’ in the render window.

Improved batch renderer

We worked a lot on the new batch renderer. You are now able to change the settings of a project directly into the batch render list without opening it, you can open the directory or the file rendered with a right-click and and you are also able to reorganize your rendering list.

Display frontiers in the preview

Autopano Video 3.0 allows you to display the frontiers between your cameras directly into the preview. We added a small icon for that under the preview.

Timecode support

This new version supports timecode that allows videos from any genlocked rig to be directly imported in Autopano Video Pro without the need to synchronize the videos again. On the export side of things, you can either choose your start time in the render box or pass-through the source timecodes. The burn-in function will also help you working with proxy files in post-processing. This feature works with solutions offered by 3d-party companies like Timecode Systems, and results to a faster and more precise workflow. Have a look at this quick tip video to learn more about timecode support.

GoPro VR live preview

This new feature gives you the ability to preview the 360 video you’re working on in GoPro VR player, our free MacOS / Windows VR player. GoPro VR player is compatible with the Oculus and HTC Vive which will allow you to preview your footage in a VR headset without exporting your video or leaving Autopano Video Pro! To use this feature you will need GoPro VR Player 3.0.x. Make sure not to rename the version during the installation.

Frictionless Nuke / Autopano Video Pro workflow

Whenever a user imports an Autopano Video Pro project into Nuke, their nodes will be created automatically, providing a seamless workflow they can immediately apply to Cara VR. With a robust bridge between the two apps, Foundry and GoPro customers can access the right tool for the job, at every stage of their workflow.

New Name / New Logo

Autopano Video Pro and Autopano Video are now only one software: Autopano Video. Autopano Video 3 also come with a brand new icon. Please visit our FAQ for more informations.
