Are you struggling to edit spatial videos recorded on the iPhone 15 Pro without losing their 3D effect? If you're aiming to create content for Apple's Vision Pro, standard editing tools just won't cut it—literally. SpatialCut, the new tool designed specifically for editing spatial media while preserving 3D effects. Here's everything you need to know about editing and exporting your spatial content using this tool.

The Challenge of Editing Spatial Videos

As technology advances, so does the way we capture and experience media. Spatial videos have emerged as a groundbreaking format, offering immersive 3D experiences that go beyond traditional 2D footage. However, with this new technology comes new challenges, particularly in the realm of video editing.

Currently, popular video editing platforms like Final Cut Pro and iMovie fall short when it comes to handling spatial videos. Content creators face a significant problem: they can't stitch or edit spatial videos captured on devices like the iPhone 15 Pro without losing the immersive 3D effect. This limitation is especially crucial when creating content for devices like the Apple Vision Pro.

So, how can content creators effectively edit spatial videos without compromising on the 3D effects?


What Are Spatial Videos?

Spatial videos are a revolutionary form of media that capture stereoscopic (3D) footage along with spatial audio. This combination creates a truly immersive experience, particularly when viewed on AR/VR devices like the Vision Pro. The importance of spatial media in creating engaging experiences for these platforms cannot be overstated.

The iPhone 15 Pro has brought this technology to the masses, allowing users to record spatial videos easily. However, the native editing capabilities are limited to basic trimming, leaving content creators wanting more.

Current Limitations in Editing Spatial Videos

Editors face several challenges when working with spatial videos:

  1. Using traditional video editors like Final Cut Pro often results in a loss of 3D effects.

  2. There's a lack of software capable of properly stitching or merging spatial video clips.

  3. Exporting for Vision Pro or other XR (extended reality) devices is difficult and often results in compromised quality.

These limitations highlight a significant gap in the market for proper spatial video editing tools.

The Solution for Spatial Video Editing

To address these challenges, we're excited to introduce SpatialCut, an upcoming tool specifically designed for spatial media editing. SpatialCut aims to revolutionize the way content creators work with spatial videos.

Key Features of SpatialCut:

  1. Stereoscopic 3D Editing: Edit your spatial media without losing depth or effects, preserving the immersive experience.

  2. Spatial Audio Support: Maintain and edit the immersive sound experience that accompanies spatial videos.

  3. Clip Merging: Seamlessly combine multiple spatial clips into a cohesive video, perfect for platforms like Vision Pro and Quest devices.


One of SpatialCut's standout features is its ability to edit and export spatial content directly to Vision Pro. This ensures that your media maintains its immersive qualities when viewed on this cutting-edge device.

With SpatialCut, content creators will finally have the tools they need to fully unleash their creativity in the spatial video realm, opening up new possibilities for immersive storytelling and experiences.
