1. System Monitoring
- Monitor CPU and GPU utilization during video playback and export using Windows Task Manager.
- High-resolution editing (5.7K / 8K) requires a powerful GPU; ensure hardware acceleration is enabled for optimal performance.
Disk Usage
- 360° video files can be very large; ensure sufficient free space on high-speed storage devices.
- Monitor the cache folder size and clear it periodically through application settings if required.
2. Application Monitoring
- Review application logs if crashes, using Windows Event Viewer.
- Track export successes and failures to identify potential codec or GPU-related issues.
- Monitor playback behavior (lag or stuttering) and adjust preview resolution to improve performance.
3. User Activity Monitoring
- Track project edits and exports to maintain a clear workflow history.
- Monitor rendering and export durations to evaluate overall system performance.
- Maintain a record of export formats used to ensure consistency across projects.
4. Best Practices
- Clear cache files regularly to avoid performance degradation.
- Use a dedicated drive for raw footage and project files.
- Document recurring issues and their resolutions for internal reference.
- Periodically test export formats (MP4, ProRes, and others) to confirm compatibility and output quality.
