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.
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.

Lucid Publisher

Drop the final render in and it becomes the live show. Builds the whole ladder — 16k / 8k / 4k / 2k — checks every rung, then replaces what is published in the Google Drive folder the exhibition reads. ffmpeg is bundled: no HandBrake, no Python, no Google sign-in.

Windows installer · per-user, no admin · ffmpeg bundled · ~99 MB · publisher v1.0.0Install Lucid Publisher (Windows)
Use: drag the render onto the window (or click to browse) → pick Wall or Centrepiece → Publish. The Drive folder is found automatically while Google Drive for Desktop is running.
It will not leave a half-published show: every rung must build, match the master’s duration and be faststart before the Drive folder is touched at all — so a failure leaves the live folder exactly as it was.
Nothing is deleted: the files it replaces move to a dated _superseded folder beside the watched one.

DaVinci Resolve plugin

GPU-native Fuse + DCTLs. New in v0.1.362: iziko-wall.fuse — the full cylindrical wall unwrap as a Fusion node (Resolve 20+ · Free + Studio · Metal on Mac, OpenCL on Win). All aim/zoom/warp/keystone/bow controls + alignment overlays (grid, safe-frames, horizon). Colour-page DCTLs still ship for grade + look.
