360 Video Metadata
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Use the
Spherical Video
standard for encoding 360 video.
Camera Manufacturer and Model
We strongly recommend that you specify camera manufacturer and model in
user-data atoms in your MP4 360 video. We support
two ways of doing this:
manu: Camera manufacturer (make)modl: Camera model
OR
©mak: Camera manufacturer (make)©mod: Camera model
Camera Firmware Version
We strongly recommend that you specify camera firmware version in
moov/udta/meta/ilst/FIRM as a string in your MP4 360 video.
Verification
You can verify your video with ffprobe command:
$ ffprobe your_video.mp4
...
Metadata:
make : my.camera.make
model : my.camera.model
firmware : v_1234.4321
...
