Add native webm / mkv support (individual parsing). about spatial-media HOT 6 CLOSED

I'm running into some major hurdles in trying to get 8k UHD spherical media onto youtube. I've managed to render to the WebM format (plugin), but getting the spherical media tag injected is proving to be very difficult.

MP4's max resolution is 3840 × 2160. I'm not sure if Apple Pro Res 422 HQ can render to 8k. So I'm stuck using WebM since it's the only 8k format Youtube accepts.

I see in other discussions that there are currently some platform issues with supporting WebM. But is there a way to inject the spherical media tag manually?

Hey @nuclearsugar, we don't have support for MKV/WebM currently, but I believe I do have a solution for you!

The metadata injector supports MOV containers, which 8k video is supported in, so you should be able to transcode (e.g., using FFmpeg) to ProRes or H.264 in a MOV container and then use the injector on that. This page has more information on using FFmpeg to encode using ProRes.

Let me know if you still have any issues; I'm happy to help out.

Thank you @dcower! Your technique worked perfectly. I converted the WebM to a MOV (ProRes) in FFmpeg. Cheers.

No problem! Glad I could help. :)

But when you convert your 8K webm to a mov, do you still retain the efficient file size, and quality?

mshp is not supported in ffmpeg
