CaptureGem VR Recordings: Playback Setup (HereSphere baseline)

CaptureGem can record VR and non‑VR streams and saves them as .mp4.

If your VR playback looks wrong (warped, wrong depth, uncomfortable FOV), start with a known-good baseline and adjust from there.

A solid starting point that CaptureGem itself recommends:

  • Viewer: HereSphere (Steam)
  • Projection: Fisheye
  • Stereo mode: SBS
  • FOV: 120

That’s not “the only correct” setup — it’s a good baseline that usually gets you 80% there.

Quick troubleshooting

  • Looks flat / no depth: stereo mode wrong (try SBS variants)
  • Too zoomed / too wide: adjust FOV
  • Warped edges: projection mismatch (fisheye vs other)

Make it repeatable

Once you find a good profile for your preferred VR source, save it as a preset in your player so every new recording opens correctly.
