of a folder into CyberLink ColorDirector.

Videos: AVI, FLV (H.264), M2TS (H.264 AVC, H.265 HEVC), MKV (H.264 AVC, H.265
HEVC), MOD, MOV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 (H.264 AVC, H.265 HEVC), TOD, VOB,
VRO, WEBM (VP9 and Opus audio), WMV, XAVC S.
CyberLink ColorDirector also supports Canon & Nikon DSLR video files.
Importing 360° Video Files
You can import and edit video files that were recorded with a 360 camera. Before
importing, make sure your project aspect ratio is set to 360º. See Setting Project
Aspect Ratio for more information.
Note: the 360° video must be stitched before it can be used in a 360° video project in
CyberLink ColorDirector. See the documentation for your 360 camera manufacturer for
information on stitching the files for viewing and editing.
Once you are done color correcting your 360° video file, you can produce the video
and it will be outputted as a 360 video file. See Producing 360° Video for more
information.
Setting 360° Projection Format
If CyberLink ColorDirector did not detect your 360° video file and you are sure it has
been produced for playback and editing, you can manually set the 360° projection

360° video file.
To set the 360° projection format, do this:
