One-time setup: install Insta360’s free Insta360 Stitcher (download) — the app uses its ProStitcher engine and can’t bundle it. ffmpeg is built in.

First launch (the app isn’t code-signed yet): Mac — drag it to Applications, then run this once in Terminal and open it:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/360 Cylinder Stitcher.app"
Windows — SmartScreen → More info → Run anyway.

Batch-stitch VID_* captures → equirectangular (ProStitcher; up to true-native on RTX)
Render the flat cylindrical wall feed at the full 15720×2812 (ProRes .mov)
Full-res 360 reframe → MP4 / ProRes · split into 4 edge-blended projector feeds
Everything in the browser apps below, too

Render node on Windows + RTX (sharpest wall): for the no-upscale 15720×2812 wall, run from source on a Windows + NVIDIA RTX box — the CUDA blender lifts the OpenCL 16384-px limit so the equirect can render true-native. Clone github.com/UWC-Innovation-Hub/cylinder-stitcher (private), install Insta360 Stitcher + Node 18+, then double-click tools/run-windows.bat (pulls latest → installs → launches). In Stitching: Blender = cuda (auto on Windows), preset = True-native (RTX). The packaged installer above has the older 8K pipeline.

Browser — no install

Preview the wall in any browser (Add to Home Screen on iPad to run like a native app). Client-side. The full stitch + render pipeline, CNC centerpiece and fabrication tools are in the desktop app above.
