## Purpose

As of January 2024, Apple's MV-HEVC format for stereoscopic video is very new and barely supported by anything. However, there are millions of iPhones (iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max) that can capture spatial video already. There was no available FOSS tool capable of splitting the stereo pair, especially not in formats suited for post-production.

However, there are millions of iPhones (iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max) that can capture spatial video already. There was no available FOSS tool capable of splitting the stereo pair, especially not in formats suited for post-production.

## Features

1. `Split` takes an MV-HEVC file and outputs the left and right eyes as separate files in the current directory. The output format is ProRes 422 HQ, video only. The user is expected to be familiar with tools such as ffmpeg for all other needs, including remuxing the audio back in.
2. `Merge` takes two video files (left and right) and re-encodes them into a MV-HEVC file. The output is video-only. The user is expected to be familiar with tools such as ffmpeg for all other needs, including remuxing the audio back in.

Compared to similar tools:, `SpatialMediaKit` has the following advantages:
