    Firstly, great mod.
    Secondly, new to 360/vr in general, but a seasoned video editor by profession.

    I'm planning a big project, and I've seen some of my buddies use this for YouTube's 360, and it looks amazing. But I'm having a bit of a technical problem.
    I export from ReplayMod as an Equirectangle. I've done both to .mp4 and to .png sequence (my preferred method) with the same result.
    The video "forward" and "backward" looking is fine. But when you look to the left or right in the video it's skewed. It's tilted. It's angled.

    I use Premiere to edit. I had the issue in CC 2016, so I updated to 2017 (more VR support) and found no difference. I'm unable to tell if it's Premiere that's skewing it, or if it's baked in the render from ReplayMod. I've searched around and couldn't find any discussion on this issue.

    Here is a test upload I did to Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU_te56r55c
    Don't mind the quality. It was just a test upload. But as you can see, when you look to the side, it's skewed. It looks the same in Premiere's VR preview window. I also tested using a camera rotating around instead of from a player's perspective and had the same result.

    Any help, guidance or nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks :)

    The "tilt" you're encountering on the sides are caused by the camera not being fully horizontal, i.e. it looks slightly up or down during the camera path. Therefore, in 360, the sides are tilted when looking to the right or left.

    To disable any camera pitch, you can check the "Pitch" checkbox in the "Stabilize Camera" section of the Render Settings (scroll down to find it in the beta release, go to "Advanced Settings" in the main release). It also makes sense to disable roll, if you use that in your path.

    Let me know if that helped!

    I knew it had to be simple! That was it.

    Your mod has me very excited to try a project that I've never seen done before in Minecraft. It's been a while that I've been this excited. I hope it will pan out and I get to show you some awesome results :)

    Thanks so much CrushedPixel!
