This program runs a new MV-HEVC spatial video encoding session. To pick a file, click on the "Select Movie" button or drag a video file directly into the window. Then click the "Encode Video" button.
The Spatial Metadata GUI downloads are provided using the GitHub releases mechanism. To download the program you simply have to click on the "Releases" sidebar link to access the 10MB zip archive.
When you expand the zip file you will have access to the following toolset:
Learn how to encode next-gen MV-HEVC spatial video for playback on Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest HMDs. This video covers the Spatial Metadata GUI as a standalone tool, and as a media command/trigger script that works inside of BMD Resolve (Free)/Resolve Studio: YouTube | No Code! Free Spatial Video Metadata Injector for Apple Vision Pro | Standalone & DaVinci Resolve
The Spatial Metadata GUI is compatible with macOS systems that run macOS 14+ (Sonoma).
It relies on the Spatial CLI program that can be installed using the macOS based Homebrew package manager.
# Install Homebrew using the macOS terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
# Install the Spatial CLI app using the brew program in the macOS terminal:
brew install spatial
# The Spatial CLI app now lives on your hard disk at:
/opt/homebrew/bin/spatial
# If you want to uninstall the Spatial CLI app using brew in the macOS terminal:
brew uninstall spatial
This same metadata embedding toolset is also available for use inside of BMD's DaVinci Resolve Studio video editing software via the "KartaLink | Spatial Metadata" scripts that can be installed using the Reactor Package Manager.
The DaVinci Resolve version of the Spatial Metadata toolset allows you to work with immersive footage using Resolve Media Pool "bins". The Kartaverse Media Command launched "Spatial Metadata.lua" script is used to batch processes 180VR, 360VR, fisheye, or flat image projection videos into MV-HEVC encoded content in only a few clicks. This multi-view encoded stereoscopic 3D material is ready for playback on devices like Apple Vision Pro HMDs and Meta Quest HMDs.
The GUI wrapper source code is open-source licensed. It is available using the LGPL/GPL v3 license terms.
The "Spatial Metadata GUI.app" wrapper program was compiled using the Xojo rapid application development tools on macOS. Xojo is a really quick and efficient toolset to use for creating wrapper GUIs for command line tools, or for building GUI based desktop utilities.
