Versions after Final Cut Pro 10.4 have started optimizing support for VR clips and adding some panoramic attributes, while the current version only supports 4K panoramic and 4K3D panoramic clips.
Open FCPX to create a new repository, or create an event in an existing repository, and you can directly select 360 video format, and there are two options for resolution, including 3840 * 1920 and 4096 * 2048.
The projection type has two options, including 360° Monoscopic and 360° Stereoscopic. If you choose to establish 3D panorama, namely 360 stereoscopic, you have two options for resolution, including 3840 * 3840 and 4096 * 4096.
After creating a 3840 * 1920 event, select Import Resource File.
In the FCPX section, three panoramic videos are imported, with panoramic attribute icons in the upper left corner of the video. The upper-right item property shows that this is a 360-degree video project.
Add video clips to the timeline for editing, and you can see some of the FCPX built-in 360 attributes in the attributes bar on the right.
The use of attribute 360 patching allows for a simple patching, which is a very practical attribute.
