After Effects: Create 360 YouTube Videos & Environments with Mettle SkyBox Studio
VinhSon Nguyen (creativedojo.net) shows how to create a 360 video within After Effects using SkyBox Studio. He does a great job of explaining the workflow from file setup to rendering the video and injecting the youtube metadata. He does not touch on bringing in 360 stitched video, instead focusing on creating content in Ae. He uses a file created with Trapcode Mir, and shows how to make that into a 360 video
“I highly recommend it if you’re in the VR scene. Overall the plugin is very affordable, very robust…very very cool script/plugin, oriented to workflow.” -Vinhson Nguyen
