Immersive
This page is dedicated to stuff that Chris Hocking finds interesting about Immersive workflows related to Final Cut Pro workflows.
This is very much an evolving space - so if you find something interesting online, please share!
This is NOT an area I'm an expert in, so please reach out if there's any mistakes!
#
BRAW Toolbox
As of today, BRAW Toolbox v1.5.0 (79) has the following Immersive exclusive feature:
We've added a "Video Track" parameter in the "Quality" section for Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive clips - so you can pick between the left or right lens. You can then put two of the same Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive clip next to each other in a Final Cut Pro timeline, to do side-by-side immersive editing. Thanks for suggesting Iain Anderson!
Using this method you can kinda of "hack together" a workflow where you do the offline edit in Final Cut Pro, then send a FCPXML to DaVinci Resolve to "fix up" and deliver to Apple Compressor.
I am currently working on adding more Immersive functionality to BRAW Toolbox, so that you can edit and DELIVER directly from Final Cut Pro, with no DaVinci Resolve needed.
This page is essentially documenting my explorations as I go down this path (as I currently don't own or have easy access to an Apple Vision Pro or Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera.
You can learn more about BRAW Toolbox on the BRAW Toolbox website.

Terminology
Here's some of the terms that might pop up whilst you're researching Apple Immersive Videos:
AIV (Apple Immersive Video) A premium immersive-video format from Apple for Apple Vision Pro playback. In Apple’s own wording, it’s "the highest quality immersive experience for video playback" with immersive audio. 
Viewer-facing shorthand: Apple Support also describes Apple Immersive Video titles as "180-degree 8K recordings, captured with Spatial Audio". 
AIME (Apple Immersive Media Embedded)
The static metadata that enables correct playback—especially camera/lens calibration and other "presentation metadata". Depending on the workflow, you’ll encounter AIME either as a separate metadata file (i.e. from set) or embedded as a metadata track.
You can create an AIME file using the VenueDescriptor API.
AIVU (Apple Immersive Video Universal)
A packaged container used for review/testing and delivery workflows. Apple Immersive Video Utility can package a folder of components into a single AIVU — typically including high-bit-rate MV-HEVC video, AIME metadata, audio, and an optional presentation track.
The only thing you need to make a AIVU is:
- Apple Immersive Video
MV-HEVCvideo file without any necessary metadata. - An
AIME file with the correct camera calibrations OR anUSDZ file to use for camera calibration (instead of an AIME) file AND a dynamic maskJSONdata file to use for camera calibration.
This file is a binary file (so can't be opened in a text editor, etc).
Apple Immersive Video Utility (often shortened to "AIVU Utility" or "AIVU app")
A Mac + Vision Pro companion toolset for importing, organizing, packaging (AIVU), and reviewing Apple Immersive Video—Mac provides a 2D management UI, while Vision Pro is used for immersive review. 
MV-HEVC (Multi-View HEVC)
The video coding format commonly referenced in Apple’s AIVU packaging flow — for example, when you import a folder of "high-bit-rate MV-HEVC video files" to package as AIVU. 
HLS (.m3u8) — HTTP Live Streaming
The streaming delivery mechanism used in these workflows. Apple Immersive Video Utility can ingest an HTTPS HLS .m3u8 playlist that points at an AIVU with complete video/audio/metadata. 
APMP (Apple Projected Media Profile) A projected-media profile that supports immersive formats like 180, 360, and Wide-FOV video. It differentiates formats via "projection kind" (rectilinear vs half-equirectangular vs equirectangular vs parametric). 
Parametric projection / ProjectionKind
A projection mode associated with Apple Immersive Video that relies on lens calibration metadata (part of what AIME provides) to map pixels correctly at playback time. 
Presentation track
An optional track/file included in an AIVU package (alongside MV-HEVC, AIME, and audio) to carry additional presentation data. 
ASAF (Apple Spatial Audio Format) Apple’s production format for immersive audio in these workflows. 
APAC (Apple Positional Audio Codec) The codec Apple calls out for encoding positional/immersive audio for delivery. 
ILPD + motion comfort data (AIV-specific metadata)
Examples of AIV-specific metadata Apple highlights for creating/playing back compelling AIV experiences. 
Static foveation An Apple Immersive Video feature discussed as part of the format/tooling story—described as a unique capability for final encodes in Apple’s immersive media sessions. 
Edge blend curve Per-shot metadata that can feather/transition edges at playback time (described as dynamic rather than a baked mask).

Immersive Video Workflow Presentations
In October 2025 Apple hosted a two day workshop on Immersive video.
Iain Anderson wrote a summary on ProVideo Coalition.

DaVinci Resolve Quick Start
This is just some notes to quickly get up and running in DaVinci Resolve.
For a much more detailed tutorial watch the Beginner’s Guide video below.
In Preferences, in the Video and Audio I/O panel make sure you tick Enable Ambisonics and Enable Apple Spatial Audio Format.
In Project Settings in the Master Settings, tick Enable Apple Immersive workflow and change the Timeline resolution to 8160x7200 Immersive.
In the Color Management panel set to:
- Color science: DaVinci YRGB
- Use seperate color space and gamma: Ticked
- Timeline color space: DaVinci WG / DaVinci Intermediate
- Output color space: P3-D65 / Rec.2100 ST2084
If you're working with Blackmagic RAW, you can reduce the BRAW decode quality if needed for performance for editing (then put back to full resolution for export).
Import some Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive clips into your timeline.
In the viewer dropdown, you can select Immersive.
Once you've done that you can change the view:
In Viewport mode, you can drag around the viewer to "look around".
When editing, only use the Cross Dissolve and Dip to Color Dissolve (setting it to black) transitions to avoid making your viewer vomit. Click the Render Bypass checkbox, so that the transition isn't "baked in" when exporting - and will be included as metadata instead.
When exporting, at the end of the export presets is the Vision Pro options.
Vision Pro Review is useful for quick exports for testing.
Vision Pro Bundle exports a ProRes master.
In Advanced Settings there's an option for visionOS Bypass. Set it to Always will make it always use the metadata (as opposed to "baking in" transitions and effects).
When you export, DaVinci Resolve gives you:
- An
AIMEfile. - A
FCPXMLfile with special metadata inside.
#
Example FCPXML Metadata
When you export an Immersive file from DaVinci Resolve, it gives you a FCPXML. This FCPXML has some special/unique metadata that you wouldn't see coming out of Final Cut Pro.
For example, I have a simple timeline with three clips and some transitions between them:

WWDC 2025
There's a great video from WWDC 2025 called Explore video experiences for visionOS.
The description is:
Learn about the different ways you can create and present immersive video experiences within your app. We'll explore the diverse media types available in visionOS 26, including profiles for 180°, 360°, and wide FOV video; options for creating and playing Apple Immersive Video; and expanded capabilities for 2D, 3D, and spatial video. Discover which profiles are best for your app and its content.
You can watch it on the Apple Developer website.
There's another one called Learn about Apple Immersive Video technologies.
The description is:
Explore the capabilities of Apple Immersive Video and Apple Spatial Audio Format technologies to create truly immersive experiences. Meet the new ImmersiveMediaSupport framework, which offers functionality to read and write the necessary metadata for enabling Apple Immersive Video. Learn guidelines for encoding and publishing Apple Immersive Video content in standalone files for playback or streaming via HLS.
To get the most out of this session, we recommend first watching “Explore video experiences for visionOS.”
You can watch it on the Apple Developer website.

Immersive Media Support
Apple has a Developer Framework called Immersive Media Support, which enables you to create custom workflows for processing Apple Immersive Video (AIV).
You can use it to read and write AIV-specific metadata and enable previewing content in editorial workflows.
You can find more information on the Apple Developer Site.
There's also a sample Xcode project for Authoring Apple Immersive Video.

Apple Immersive Video Utility
Apple Immersive Video Utility on macOS lets you import, organize, package, and review Apple Immersive Video media through a 2D interface. And when you combine it with Apple Immersive Video Utility on visionOS, you can review your immersive video on Apple Vision Pro.
You can find more information in the User Guide.
You can download it for free on the Mac App Store.
