At its REFRAME event, Vimeo announced support for new 3D video formats on Apple Vision Pro. With this, the company further expands its platform for immersive video and positions itself as one of the first third-party platforms to support multiple Apple-specific 3D formats.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the launch of the Vimeo app for Apple Vision Pro in October of last year, the range of spatial video content has evolved significantly. The app previously supported Apple's Spatial Video format, which already provided realistic depth effects. Now, Vimeo is expanding<\/a> its range of features to include three additional formats: VR180, Apple Immersive Video, and the new Apple Projected Media Profile. The company also announced several new AI-based tools and video management features designed to make working with content more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VR180: Established 3D standard with a wide field of view<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The VR180 format is one of the most popular 3D video formats. It offers a 180-degree field of view and is typically recorded stereoscopically. Compared to 360-degree videos, VR180 is easier to produce because only the front half of the field of view is captured. Vimeo's new support should therefore lead to an increase in 3D content optimized for Apple Vision Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple Immersive Video: High-quality 3D experiences<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Apple Immersive Video is Apple's preferred format for spatial content on Apple Vision Pro. It combines stereoscopic 8K video with spatial audio and uses a special projection algorithm that reduces distortion. This algorithm takes the camera used into account, providing a more natural rendering than the standard VR180 algorithm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple uses this format for its own original productions, such as the Wild Life episode about orangutans. Until now, Apple Immersive Video was available exclusively through the Apple TV app outside of mainland China, as well as through Migu Video and Tencent Video in China. The integration with Vimeo marks the first third-party platform supporting this format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple Projected Media Profile: New format for flexible playback<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Apple Projected Media Profile (APMP) was introduced at WWDC25. It's a new media profile that supports 180, 360, and wide FOV videos. APMP allows 3D cameras to embed projection data and camera information directly into the file, making it easier and more accurate to display videos on Apple Vision Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The integration of APMP with Vimeo creates a seamless workflow. Videos can be shot with Blackmagic cameras, edited in Final Cut Pro, and then published directly to Vimeo. This creates a seamless production chain for professional creators from capture to immersive playback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further innovations at the Vimeo REFRAME event<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the new 3D formats, Vimeo has announced several additional features powered by artificial intelligence and efficient workflow management. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
