In accordance with example embodiments, the method and system for 360-degree video post-production generally makes use of points of view (POVs) to facilitate the 360-degree video post-production process. A POV is a rectilinear subset view of a 360-degree composition based on a particular focal length, angle of view, and orientation for each frame of the 360-degree composition. Video post-production editing can be applied to a POV by the user, using rectilinear video post-production methods or systems. The rectilinear video post-production editing done on the POV is integrated back into the 360-degree environment of the 360-degree composition. In accordance with example embodiments, the method and system for 360-degree video post-production comprises identifying a point of view in a 360-degree composition; applying video post-production editing to the point of view; and aligning a new layer containing the video post-production editing with the point of view in the 360-degree composition.
