Let’s guide you through the process of uploading to the DeoVR platform. If you prefer to use a video guide, you can watch the entire process on our VR Tutorials channel. 

Tutorial: Uploading Your VR Video Content to DeoVR

Uploading your VR videos to DeoVR is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through each step to ensure your content reaches the VR community effectively.

Accessing Your Channel Page

1. Navigate to the Creator Page: Click on Manage Your Channel from the top-right menu or go directly to Upload Video.

Uploading Your Video

Select 'Upload Video': Choose the video file you wish to share.

• Upload videos at their original resolution and FPS frame rate. Upscaling does not enhance quality.
• All 30fps videos are interpolated to 60fps (and 25fps > 50fps) for smoother playback.
  • Never double your FPS framerate without using interpolation techniques
  • Read our article about interpolation at DeoVR for more details
• Important: ProRes transcoding is currently not supported on DeoVR. 

MV-HEVC Uploads Now Supported on DeoVR

You can now upload Blackmagic 16K and iPhone immersive videos in MV-HEVC format directly to DeoVR.

• Automatic conversion: MV-HEVC files are converted into SBS AV1 and HEVC for smooth playback on both Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest headsets.
• Export settings: From DaVinci Resolve, use variable bitrate (50 Mbps cap) with the Slow encoding preset, then contact creator@DeoVR.com so we can enable native streaming.
• Future support: Original MV-HEVC files are stored. Once FFMPEG supports encoding, we’ll re-encode and stream them natively on Apple Vision Pro.
• Testing: Demo footage from our Blackmagic 16K camera is being uploaded. Please report any issues so we can keep improving the feature.

Providing Video Information

1. Fill in Basic Details: Enter the title and a brief description of your video.

2. Content Warnings: Tag your video appropriately, especially if it contains flashing lights or potentially distressing content. This ensures users receive a warning before viewing.

3. Categorization: Optionally, select the category that best fits your content (e.g., travel, music) and specify the VR camera used. This helps the community understand more about your work.

Specifying Technical Details

1. Video Format: Indicate the format, such as VR180 side-by-side or 360.

2. Thumbnail and Subtitles: Upload a thumbnail image and subtitles file if available. If not, you can select a frame from your video later.

Setting Visibility and Publishing

1. Choose Visibility:

   • Private: Only you can view the video.

   • Unlisted: Shareable via link but hidden from DeoVR's feed and search results.

   • Public: Accessible to all users.

2. Schedule Publication: Decide whether to publish immediately after processing and moderation or set a specific release time.

Adjusting Video Orientation

Proper video orientation is crucial for an immersive VR experience.

• Post-Production Orientation: Set the camera orientation during the editing phase to align with your artistic vision. This ensures the intended perspective is preserved.

• In-App Adjustments: While major orientation settings should be finalized during editing, minor tweaks can be made within the DeoVR app. If necessary, you can adjust the yaw by ±180 degrees to correct the camera's direction. However, relying on in-app adjustments is not recommended for significant changes, as it may not reflect the creator's original intent.

By following these steps, you can effectively upload and present your VR content on DeoVR, providing viewers with a high-quality, immersive experience.

Now share your video and promote it to the VR world!
