This Sunday I had the pleasure of talking with @Ddimitra , also know as “360 Mom” during our Meet & Greet Facebook Live session at Local Guides World (LGW), an unofficial Google Local Guides community.
Devi has a great true Local Guides spirit and as you will see from her camera presence, a lovely, bubbly, happy personality. Not only that, she is a talented video producer with her own YouTube channel and recently created her first Google Earth Project under the banner of the #CommunityChallenge.We talk about her experience creating her first #GoogleEarth project featuring her favorite Google Maps Lists and we talk some about her video skills.
Thank you @MAHMOUDALWAN , it was indeed a lot of fun.
Thank you also @AdrianLunsong for your enthusiastic response and support. Great idea! I would love that.
Hi @JeroenM thank you for sharing your conversation with @Ddimitra I learnt something here which I tried doing and was not successful which is combining a 360 video with a normal video. @Ddimitra Can you please share this trick as it is useful and I would like to have it on one of my videos?
Google Earth project is interesting since it has all the resources required to kick start, but a bit hard to do it since it require a good device and good internet connection. Thank you.

The answer to your question is simple. To do so, you need a video-editing application that allows you to edit 360 videos into normal videos. These video editing suites let you mix different kind of media, including 360 video. When you edit your “flat-non-360-video” you get to choose where to focus the frame. Like with a 360 video player, you can move around the camera digitally and capture that frame for the video you are producing.
I hope that makes sense. It becomes more obvious when you play with it inside a video-editing application that allows you to work with 360 videos.
HitFilm Express is one of the best video editors for amateurs on the market. It is free, but for 360 you need a paid add-on, but this is not too expensive. Before you buy it, play with the editing suite first, as it is rather sophisticated and perhaps above your comfort zone. There are other easier editing suites for the consumer market, but they are all paid and of lesser quality. This does not necessarily mean that those do not fit your needs, as Hitfilm express has really cinnamic features in it.
I suggest you also ask Steve Pierre, as he seems to be a pro in video editing
What do you use @Ddimitra for your YouTube videos, like the one in the National Library?
Wow Jeroen you are fast learner too, I just told you about it during live show.
The camera 360 capture video both sides. Then, it is all in post Production, using the editing app provide by the manufacturer.
INSTA STUDIO (free)
It allows you to pick the view, which point You want to show to the audience. After that it will export in normal (flat) video, not 360 video anymore. In this phase You could edit it with any video Editing Software.
