What it is
VideoStitch Studio is free, MIT-licensed desktop software for stitching video files into standard 360-degree video for immersive VR post-production. It synchronizes footage automatically through audio, motion, or flash cues, and manual synchronization is available. Automatic calibration is supported, with template imports from PTGui or Hugin. Color correction addresses vignetting, camera response curves, exposure, and white balance. Stabilization and orientation controls use automatically created keyframes. Its timeline previews source and stitched footage, selects frames, and defines a working area. A batch stitcher can render multiple projects, and the software supports multiple output formats, 360 editing, VR preview, stabilization, and 360 camera import. Windows, macOS, and Linux are build platforms, although feature availability differs. The 2.4.1 release is macOS-only with OpenCL; release notes direct Windows users to 2.4.0. Third-party components carry their own licenses.
