what other stabilizing software do you use?

There is stabilization in Cuberlink PowerDirector 16.0.2816.0
I saw her in the program but haven’t used it yet, because I try to shoot without shaking. And to shoot without shaking at all, you need to use Electronic Steadicam like this:

Help please. I wanted to buy a Ricoh Theta SC. But a friend is now convincing me to buy a camera from another company. It is called Wunder C1. According to those characteristics, in principle he does not lose the Ricoh Theta, the only thing is that the battery is weak. And it costs much less ($ 160). If anyone used Wunder, please tell me if it is good. Which one to choose from? Thank.

For shooting in camping conditions - I use a selfie stick with a flat base.
And for stationary - a rack for light.
Type such.

Theta V. Tell me please, how and where can I increase the recording time of one video file to 25 minutes? And then he writes 5 minutes. and cut down.
And yet, what program is better to process (convert) the video, and the photo, for minimal loss of source quality?

Theta V. Please tell me how and where you can increase the recording time of one video file to 25 m
In the application and the shooting screen “gear” - settings, recording time 5 minutes / 25 minutes. This is in the latest firmware, in the earlier I do not remember, it could have been otherwise.

what program is better to process (convert) video, and photos, for minimal loss of source quality?

By and large, for simple tasks, you can use almost anything that you like for ordinary photos and videos. But there are nuances. Perhaps some programs (in my practice, they did not come across) knock down metadata, and the image after processing is not recognized as spherical. Absolutely, programs that do not specifically support spherical panoramas do not allow you to draw something on the image so that it looks correct. Here's what I had to use:
I tried to edit the photo is not the most recent Photoshop, observed that after treatment with either fly off the data from the camera gyro sensors, or some regular error is added - the exact cause is not understood, but is tilted horizon line. In the end, I use free program FastStone (very comfortable smotrelka for photos), there may be curves and tweak, and color, and noise away, is enough functional - there is not to print the same image is being prepared, most importantly, stocks when working with spherical images in this prog is not noticed.
Video (processed in FullHD resolution, for spherical 4K playback normally just not on anything, my computer does not pull) I have again not very fresh SonyVegas. Treatment is similar to treatment of conventional video, even the effects of transitions are superimposed, can not only use tools that change the scale (for example, program the stabilizer). But do taymlaps using separate pictures with Theta using of this program did not work - sewn from a video gallery is not recognized as spherical as you add metadata in a video to make it again, spherical, not found.
Full support for spherical video and photos has appeared in Adobe’s products, if I’m not mistaken, since the end of 2017, but they have never been used. There you can definitely glue the time lapse of the photos, fully retouch, overlay inscriptions.
Something like this.

You can also work withMovavi 360 Video Editor 1.0.1
On the Internet there is a broken version 1.0 on terents. By the way, a good video editor, but an entry-level 360 degree panoramic video.

In fact, the problem arose just with the update 3.8.0 (dated December 18) for Windows - it does not convert or play video. The manufacturer has been hiding for now, although complaints from around the world are wallowing :(. I found a randomly preserved version 3.2.2 (from December 17), in the application, until it is fixed, you can use it, it definitely works with the video.

It is not clear which converter we are talking about, after what actions an error occurs and on which operating system. If this is about the basic application for Windows and video conversion, then with the latest update the problems are fixedhttps://support.theta360.com/en/download/
