Help with 360° Video as Background and Virtual Camera Pan Animation

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on a project in Aximmetry Composer, and I’m trying to achieve the following:

          Display a 360-degree video inside a 3D environment and animate a virtual camera with two slow pans – one to the left and one to the right.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

  • Loaded my video using a Video Player compound (called Green_Nils_Demonstrate)
  • Connected the video to the Skybox_Long-Lat compound
  • Added VirtualCam_3-Cam as my virtual camera

The problem:

I can't connect the Skybox_Long-Lat directly to the virtual camera. It doesn't have a standard image output (like Rendered), and I’m not sure how to "place" the camera inside the skybox or assign it properly as the environment.

What I’m trying to do:

  • Use the 360° video as an immersive background
  • Animate the camera so it pans slowly left, then right

My questions:

  1. How do I assign the Skybox_Long-Lat to be visible through the virtual camera?
  2. Is there a proper way to parent the camera inside the skybox environment?
  3. How can I animate a simple pan (Y-axis rotation) of the virtual camera?
  4. Is there an example project I can look at?

Any help, advice, or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
