Edit & Grade VR180 + 360 in DaVinci Resolve 20 – NDI Preview Tutorial for Meta Quest & Vision Pro

In this hands-on tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to set up and grade VR180 and 360 video using DaVinci Resolve 20, send a live NDI preview directly to Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro, and enhance your edits with 3D logo animation, AI-assisted grading, and stylized VFX graphics—using the Edit page and the Fusion page (with free tools).

As a bonus, I’m also providing a FREE Unity-based NDI Player for Meta Quest 3, so you can view your immersive content live in the headset with near-zero latency—no expensive player required.
