After taking a look at the Deliver Video Content for Spatial Experiences session, alongside the Destination Video sample code, I'm a bit unclear on how one might go about creating stereoscopic content that can be bundled up as a MV-HEVC file and played on Vision Pro.

I see the ISO Base Media File Format and Apple HEVC Stereo Video format specifications, alongside new mvhevc1440x1440 output presets in AVFoundation, but I'm unclear what sort of camera equipment could be used to create stereoscopic content and how one might be able to create a MV-HEVC using a command-line tool that leverages AVFoundation/VideoToolbox, or something like Final Cut Pro.

Is such guidance available on how to film and create this type of file? Thanks!

You will be able to use the iPhone 15 Pro Max to capture such videos.

To use iPhone 15 Pro Max to create content may be ok for some users but there are plenty of existing devices capable to produce stereoscopic video material. It would be interesting to know what it needs to convert existing videos in the new video format.

Any updates for how to transcode or encode these files? I have stereo frames/video and want to encode to view on apple spatial video players.

You can film regular stereoscopic left/right content and encode it into MV-HEVC using Halocline. I am affiliated with the project, so please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Appreciate the reply but I also would like to understand how to edit content (either filmed form iPhone 15 or other cameras) in Final Cut to produce MV-HEVC that I can add to my Photos App Library.
