EOS VR Utility How to stitch footage for editing

thompsonannie55 — Fri, 29 May 2026 17:43:30 GMT

I shot some 180VR footage on the EOS R5 C with the Dual Fisheye lens. I cannot find anyway to properly stitch the footage for editing. The EOS VR Utility does not work and it will not even recognize my footage to import. The EOS VR Premiere Pro Plug In does not work either, it doesn't even show up. I have tried both many times. I am assuming that no canon software works with any .MXF files. I converted the files to .mp4, and still nothing works or will recognize the files. I have even tried Insta360 studio and Mistika Boutique. I tried putting it in premiere pro and exporting and it only shows the left eye in VR View, although I have all my settings to stereoscopic side by side.

Does anyone have any suggestions of anything else I could try? Is there any possible way to stitch .MXF 180VR footage? Any advice on how to move forward would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings,

Have you reviewed the user guide and do you have a subscription?

Clips have to be saved your computer before they can be imported.

I do understand the documentation is not very complete.

Hello,

Yes I have read the user guide and yes I do have a subscription. The clips are saved to my computer. It still says 'there are no clips' when I try to import the folder my clips are in.

Thank you

Greetings,

How are you copying clips to your computer? It's not just drag and drop. You need to include the .XML sidecar files. Without this metadata, the VR utility will not recognize the clips.
