With the Sasmung Gear 360 ActionDirector software (free) you can stream from the Gear 360 in 180 or 360 degrees in several resolutions. But the signal will go straight to Facebvook, YouTube, Samsung VR or Custom output via the Samsung software, no native PC drivers.

Here are a few 360 Video Stitching Software for Mac that we found and tried:
VideoStitch Studio This software is created by a French startup which produces software for post production houses focussed on stitching and creating 360 videos from multiple cameras. In short, whilst it will support the Samsung Gear 360 (which essentially shoots with two cameras), its likely an overkill, since the Videostitch Studio application for Mac costs almost as much as your Samsung Camera! (USD$295). That being said, it does include many features like Stabilization and orientation, Real-time preview, Automatic Calibration which supports many different types of cameras, Automatic Exposure Compensation and Color Correction. This last feature is really useful for the Gear 360.
Kolor Autopano Video Kolor is another French startup which focuses on 360 camera rigs and the associated software. They were acquired by GoPro recently, so its unlikely that they will continue to support competitor’s 360 cameras for too long. They currently sell one of the most popular 360 immersion video software available as they were the first company to focus on this emerging format. Their focus is on automatically stitching many points of views into one continguous 360 Virtual Reality “Immersion” video. They also have features to make rabbit hole and tiny planet type videos. The Autopano Video software have been used by professional production houses and enthusiasts and costs upwards of 299Euros for the most basic version, and 599Euros for the Pro version. Amazing great software for professionals, but costing more than your Gear 360!
Using a combination of Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere and ClipChamp.com and AutoPanoVideo (involves uploading massive video to the Cloud)
Okay, this is so complicated even for the video experts at muvee. We really don’t recommend it. But if you are a sucker for pain, knock yourself out!
Running Parallels on your Mac One other way to stitch your 360 videos from the Samsung Gear is to run the PC software given free by Samsung on your Mac through something like Parallels or Bootcamp on Mac OS X. Neither of which is a true Mac solution and not guaranteed to work in some cases due to the need to use on-board GPU of your Mac and other related video-card issues that can sometimes occur.
