> After these fails, I decide read the Manual... 

First thing I figure out was that I really do not knew nothing about 360 Videos and if you guys know same as I do, you need learn about st3d, metadata, spherical videos, stereoscopic 3d, etc

The first article that you need to take a look is [Uploading 3D videos to YouTube](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7278886?hl=en)  , it will give a little explanation about formats supported on youtube.

After this little introduction, let's prepare the video to upload.

 - First Record a video, make sure that your equipament do 360 Videos;
 - Copy your video from you SDcard to you computer;
 - You will need a Software to Convert your Original Video to a YouTube compatible aspect ratio, here you will need a software called: *SYMAX360* - [WebSite](http://www.symax360.com/) or Direct Download: [Windows](http://www.symax360.com/SYMAX360%20Player%20Windows.zip) or [MAC](http://www.symax360.com/SYMAX360_Player_mac.zip) install, open it and follow the steps bellow:

## SYMAX360 - Player: ##

## Click in Editor: ##

## Than click in "START" (The video preview will looks wierd but do not worries about it, the final result will be good). ##

## If you have a faster computer it will be fast, if you have a notebook like I have, a video with 7 minutes can take 15minuts to convert, you can follow the process in "Progress" bar. ##

## When the conversion over, a new file will be created with _symax360.mp4 in name. ##

# 2nd Part - *Add Metadata.* # 

To add the Metadata you will need a Python app called **"Spatial Media Metadata Injector"**, you can find in *[GitHub - 360.Video.Metadata.Tool.win.zip](https://github-production-release-asset-2e65be.s3.amazonaws.com/30674951/e5b14be6-3d4d-11e6-9e4a-48bab19b9eae?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIWNJYAX4CSVEH53A%2F20171103%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20171103T192705Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=903da91a9224a26660c96cc15406c4dafaff9f9e6475a2573de0f5dec29c9daf&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_id=0&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%3D360.Video.Metadata.Tool.win.zip&response-content-type=application%2Foctet-stream)*
## Easy to use, just open the file and you will see: ##

## Click in "OPEN", choose you video (remember that the video have " _symax360.mp4" in the name. 
Select the first option "MY VIDEO IS SPHERICAL (360)" and click in "Inject Metadata", It will take a couple seconds and will create a other NEW file with "_injected" in name.  ##

## After all these conversions the video is ready to be uploaded to YouTube (also works for Facebook too) . ##
