360 captures in Unity with Depthkit

So you’ve set up your Unity scene with the environment and Depthkit clips and now you’re ready to capture some 360 equirectangular video of the scene. When capturing with Depthkit clips in the scene, you may run across a timing issue where the capture plugin and the Depthkit clips are running at different speeds. Don’t worry, we have a solution!

The Solve:

In short, you need to apply a script to each Depthkit clip that syncs the clip video with the capture of the 360 plugin.

Where do I get such a script?

If using VR Panorama as your capture tool, the latest version includes such a script. Make sure you are working with the latest plugin update and find the script under Assets/VRPanorama/Tools/VideoSync.cs.

VideoSyncAsset

Now you just need to apply this script to each Depthkit clip.

AddVideoSync

To Note:

  • Make sure that your VR capture framerate has the same fps as your Depthkit video.
  • This script only works for the Unity video player. To use this method with AVPro, repeat the same steps with the script edited for AVPro.
