Direct Upload QooCam Ego Footage to YouTube

There are several ways of uploading a QooCam Ego video to RUclips.
One of them is a direct upload of the Ego video file. But stop! That doesn't work, because the Ego video doesn't have the 3D meta data that is necessary to be recognized as 3D video on RUclips.
One step is necessary here. You need to inject 3D meta data.
One way to do that is to use FFMPEG.
On OSX you can use the Terminal to enter a command line to do that to all your Ego mp4 videos in a folder. FFMPEG then creates a copy with .mkv extension, and that version is easily recognized and processed by RUclips.
I enter the following commands (this will also work on a PC, if FFMPEG is installed):
First to change to the directory with the EGO.mp4 videos
Enter the following (no spaces! rename your folder to something short):
cd /yourdirectoryname/
then press enter on the keyboard
if you enter: ls
then press enter on your keyboard
it will show you all the files in that folder.
now you can enter the command:
for f in *.mp4; do ffmpeg -i "$f" -c copy -metadata:s:v:0 stereo_mode=1 "${f%mp4}mkv";done
then you hit enter on your keyboard, and wait for FFMPEG to finish.
It will be pretty quick, since it just copies the files.
I hope this helps. Watch the video, i show there how i did it.
You can find the video that i uploaded here:

Be patient, try it a couple of times. 3D video is not as easy as regular video.
As a tip for starters. Don't get too close to your object. Move slow. Don't shake. Use a tripod, or a gimbal. Avoid fast camera movements.

Exactly what I was looking for! (I also got a QooCam Ego and started shooting 3D videos.) Thanks so much for sharing!

So Kandao has nothing basically. They are that horrible...

Thanks for the command line. But where is ffmpeg on the Mac? Or do we have to install it? And, if so, where do we get it? The qoocam injector does not work, and gets hung up on the ffmpeg files it has because they are not verified by Apple.

install from ffmpeg dot org. in terminal you can type ffmpeg enter, and it'll tell you if its installed
