      360° Scene Filming/Compression:

      Any camera that takes 360-degree photospheres should work well with CenarioVR.

      360 cameras often produce video output that requires bandwidth greater than can be streamed over the internet. It is highly recommended that video compression tools be used before uploading any 360 video to the internet. There are many professional tools available such as Adobe Premiere Pro or Apple Final Cut Pro. For a free option that works well, consider using Handbrake (https://handbrake.fr/)

      When choosing a Codec, H.264 is required.  H.265 is unsupported in general by many devices and browsers
