1. A method for managing media content generated from spherical video, the method comprising:

  • storing, by a video server, a plurality of spherical videos;

    receiving an edit map specifying for each frame time of an output video, an identifier of a spherical video of the plurality of spherical videos and a spatial location of a sub-frame in the identified spherical video, the sub-frame having a non-spherical field of view;

    generating the output video based on the edit map, the output video including the sub-frame from the identified spherical video specified for each frame time, wherein the spherical video comprises a first hemispherical video and a second hemispherical video captured in synchronization, and wherein generating the output video comprises;

    determining if a given sub-frame has a spatial region crossing a boundary between the first hemispherical video and the second hemispherical video;

    responsive to the given sub-frame having the spatial region crossing the boundary, stitching corresponding portions of the first hemispherical video and the second hemispherical video contained within the given sub-frame to generate a stitched sub-frame; and

    including the stitched sub-frame in the output video; and

    outputting the output video.
