I find it that almost every video requires some setting tweaks to look perfect, and it is not obvious what needs to be tweaked as there are too many settings that have non-obvious side effects. One way to help solve it would be having some sort of interactive diagnostic wizard that helps you tweak the right settings for each video. For example when you launch it it could show this kind of menu titled "Choose what you want to fix":
- Scaling issue (everything is too big or too small)
- Double vision
- Out of focus
- Perspective issues (side walls are concave or convex)
- FPS issue
- Color balance
Choosing one would show you a few related settings with a quick way to adjust and test them to see if it makes it better or worse. For example if you chose scaling issues the submenu could look like:
- Adjust left camera alignment (next to an interactive progress bar you can toggle, and reset to default)
- Adjust FOV (same bar)
- Adjust zoom
This should be a transparent overlay menu above playing video so you can quickly choose and toggle settings while viewing the effect in real time. Ideally there should be button shortcuts for coarse tuning and fine tuning (like moving joystick up/down would select the setting, moving left right would tune the setting. moving left right while holding a grip or a trigger would make larger/smaller adjustments).
This would be easy and convenient way to tweak the important params on the fly in some sort of a sandbox environment. Currently the param adjustments are done on non-transparent menu so its not easy to see what visual change your adjustments make on your video, and even though there is a way to adjust them with a joystick or gyroscope the adjustment speed is not always optimal (it adjusts in 0.01 increments when I want to adjust in 0.1, or vise versa). If you know exactly what you need to change then it's not a problem, but when your video doesn't look right and you are not sure what to toggle it is not very convenient currently to find the right setting. Plus there are some complex camera settings that possibly require multiple adjustments at once that this wizard can automate.
It could be also done in a "does this look better or worse" form, where it adjusts one setting for you and you tell it is it on the right track or not.
I realize this is a very complex addition so don't have any expectations, but just some food for thought for future releases.
Thanks.
