In this video I am gonna be showing you how to inject 360 degree metadata using Google's spatial media metadata injection tool into an equirectangular video like this to make a video like this. You may want to do this so you can have videos so that your video players automatically play in 360 view mode or if you want to upload to YouTube with 360 video you need to do this as the tool in YouTube video manager said the video is 360 degrees has been deprecated and it now relies completely on the video metadata itself so let's jump straight into the video.
Okay, so to get the program you need to go to GitHub, and look up spatial media metadata injector that is what it's called and it should just bring up this hub page. If it doesn't scroll down within the first couple links you should have a GitHub link which is here it should look straight to the releases but if it doesn't and takes you to here you have to click on the right hand side and click on releases, and it takes you to here and you just need to download either the windows version or mac version depending on what operating system you're on.
So inject the metadata, you just need to to double click on the program, and click 'Open' to select the video that you want to inject the metadata into. The just simply click 'Inject Metadata', and choose where you want to save the file to. After a few seconds, a file should appear wherever you decided to save the file to, and this file now has spatial media. If you open this file in a program that supports 360 degree metadata, or upload it to YouTube it should now play in 360 degree or VR mode. If you are uploading you YouTube, it may take a few minutes to process before the video can be played back in 360 mode.
