Product Introduction
- The Spatial Video Editor for Vision Pro is an on-device editing tool within the Spatial Media Toolkit that enables users to create and refine spatial videos or photo slideshows with background music, leveraging native integration with Apple Vision Pro.
- Its core value lies in democratizing spatial storytelling by combining intuitive editing workflows with advanced 2D-to-3D conversion technology, ensuring privacy through fully local processing without cloud dependency.
Main Features
- Users can import spatial photos/videos from their library, trim clips, rearrange sequences, and add custom music tracks while previewing results in real-time through fully rendered stereo spatial playback.
- Direct integration with the app's AI-powered 2D-to-3D converter allows batch processing of legacy 2D media into spatial formats, which can be instantly added to editing timelines through a single-tap workflow.
- All processing occurs on-device using Apple Vision Pro's neural engine, enabling near real-time rendering of spatial effects while maintaining end-to-end data privacy for sensitive media.
Problems Solved
- Addresses the complexity of creating immersive spatial content by eliminating specialized software requirements and streamlining conversion/editing into a single platform.
- Targets casual creators and professionals seeking to repurpose existing 2D media libraries into spatial formats for VR/AR platforms without compromising personal data security.
- Enables practical scenarios like converting vacation footage into spatial travelogues, transforming wedding photos into 3D slideshows with music, or modernizing archival videos for VR headset viewing.
Unique Advantages
- Unlike cloud-dependent alternatives, this editor guarantees complete data privacy through on-device AI processing that leverages Vision Pro's hardware acceleration for spatial computations.
- Features patented real-time 3D conversion algorithms that preserve depth accuracy during 2D-to-spatial transformations, coupled with cross-platform compatibility for exporting to both Apple Spatial and legacy VR formats like side-by-side stereo.
- Combines three market-leading capabilities: batch conversion of entire media libraries, frame-accurate spatial video editing, and direct sharing to mixed-reality ecosystems (Quest, iOS, macOS) through optimized format translation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Can I edit spatial videos captured from non-Apple devices? Yes, the editor supports industry-standard spatial formats including side-by-side 3D and equirectangular videos, which are automatically converted to Apple Spatial format during import while preserving depth metadata.
- How does on-device processing affect performance? Leveraging Vision Pro's neural engine and GPU acceleration, the app achieves near real-time previews for 4K spatial videos (under 500ms latency) and processes 2D-to-3D conversions at 30fps for 1080p source material.
- What audio formats are supported for background music? The editor accepts AAC, MP3, and spatial audio formats (Ambisonics B-format), with automatic audio spatialization that matches the 3D video scene's depth profile for immersive playback.
- Is there a limit to project duration? Projects can contain up to 2 hours of spatial video (4K resolution) or 500 spatial photos, with export options for H.265/HEVC spatial video at 60Mbps bitrate or ProRes 4444 for professional workflows.
- Can I share edited videos to non-Apple VR headsets? Exported files automatically include both Apple Spatial Metadata and embedded side-by-side 3D streams, ensuring compatibility with Meta Quest, SteamVR, and other major platforms through a single export operation.
