![]() Aboutthis info is useful for any 360 user regardless of device as the host site is free and free app (all host sites related topics)
adding animation (motion sticker) to an image when loaded to FREE host site Theta
how to
simply include a designated Hashtag
If you get benefit from this my page:
U OWE ME:-> give feedback; faults, improvements or pass it on to help another
I dn't focus on spelling mistakes (I welcome voice conversation not text), feedback welcome (a complaint is a gift)
DisplayFacebook
when u share the link from Theta site the fetch is only a screen shot !! DOES NOT do justice to the display so I do not recommend you load to facebook this way, see tricks down the page this was the 1st image loaded by Ty from my suggestion to try the site, he did not know it was avail as he does not have a Theta device..
I then made the page to explain options for Ty and all who now read Embedthis is what the image looks like with animation "Butterflies"
Permission from TY - invited him to view content and confirm
Controls
no VR mode, powerful zoom in / out with pinch finger control and tools bottom right to mod view little planet and more
Other embed optionsI usually show them in webpage as thumbnails
with the following template HashtagsI dnt list them here as there are updated without notice so i embed their page
Theta site page on Hashtags
Non Theta usersyou do not need a Theta Camera, the app is free to download
in app, click option top left for album to find non Theta images to upload
Theta have several apps for camera and images
download link in my main Theta page - see at top of this page
No 360 CameraIf you dnt have a 360 spherical camera .. No problem
in this page 360 Device - No camera you can see which smartphone apps will manually build a Sphere using only the camera on the smartphone
obviously it takes a little time to take multiple photos but the app will auto stitch
then use any of the free host sites
Best share methoda direct share DOES NOT do justice to your creation
Example
the fetched image is a snap shot does not show the animation
Tricks:
1. show a brief video snippet
make a quick 5 to 10 sec video using smartphone to show the animation including using mod tools (bottom right)
example of the mod tools are in my main Theta page (unless a sub page is created)
This example is much longer becoz I wanted to include credit to the owner of the image ext link
I made this vid quickly without a coffee 1st thing in the morning .. lol
the difference is obvious the viewer is teased with the animation and informed of tools most people dnt know about the mod tools
2. or loan the 360 as normal + include link to Theta
Here is Ty's post directly to 360 group (link)
you can not share or embed
see tips below on best way to share to get max benefit for you and readers
fbk share tipOptions
facebook
if showing the 360 directly ..
1st load in your PAGE OR A FAN PAGE - NOT GROUPS
Groups do not allow share or embed
1st load to your page it better create a fan page (my fan page Round to it in 360 Spherical -
Fan page it is expected to be more public so more share tools are included
then include a link in the post comments to the Theta site (then you have a record of the url for you and viewers)
example
pls also see the image in Theta (with animation) ta link: also note bottom right corner controls to mod view
Screen Shotshey don't forget, once you have the image in Theta (high res display) you can morph the image in full screen and download the images or take screen shots
example: using the link to Ty's awesome 360 Florist shop
images below are either
1. screen capture (using free app (lightshot) see main Theta page link top of page
2. in Theta site right click save or copy
you can do the same directly within the free Theta app, selecting the mirror view, resize and rotate
and note there is a BIG difference holding the phone in Portrait V's Landscape re image size and the option to save to camera roll is very good giving you resolution sizes
so .. why bother with a normal camera .. use 360 and then output the angle you want
also did you know
in Theta app Video you can do the incredible .. multiple video angles
use mirror, re size to be a standard fisheye and output, then go back and change the angle and save again
you now have the exact same audio but with 2 diff video angles as if you had 2 video's recording
now put those 2 videos side by side and .. wow
Other sampleswelcome to look at my profiles on Theta
I mainly use hashtags Butterfly and FireFly
Theta
you can have 2 log ins based on channel fbk and twitter so i used both for 2 locations
my feed on other host sites are listed in the page host sites

I recorded lots of stuff in page 360 apps under (link below)
1. Photo images
2. Video
I will soon make a lab test page on topic Animations (when I have time - it's already taxed with making this stuff to share - > collaborators welcome
in the meantime lots of stuff on apps and tricks for animation in page 360 apps ..
it's all recorded on the fly so it may not be plain English .. and anyone is welcome to re write it.. it works for me
Dnt have a camera - no problem - see comments under section No 360 Camera
try a perfect 360 Pano video from spherical photo
when you see the result you will do more
when you load a 360 into their app from camera roll .. ie ., nothing to do with uploading to their host cloud - this is local process in app
select output as video, this will product a faultless 360 video Pan in various res and speeds
I often do this to include with a standard video BECOZ the pano is faultless and do produce such effect would require good equipment
