<p>Yes, I believe the latest versions of Premiere CC can do this natively.  It's a little bit tricky since the video needs to be unwrapped, but it is a fixed distortion to be applied depending on the size of the sphere map.  360 videos are actually rectangular videos that are texture mapped on to a sphere.</p>

<p>is there any method to cut part of 360 video and convert it to plain video? I want to take half, or less of 360 footage and then edit/view as plain one.</p>
