I’m trying to follow this official tutorial to export a 360 video: [https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/ca...nreal-engine-4](https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/ca...nreal-engine-4)

The plugin is enabled. Unreal is restarted. Project is rebuild. In the console I entered:  
SP.OutputDir D:/tmp/stereo  
SP.PanoramicScreenshot

In Windows Taskmanager I see used memory is increased by 3Gb, a short hickup in the editor but no images are saved. Using 4.13.0 preview 1. I tried it before in 4.12 (I think) and it worked back then.

Posted on the forum and got a reply by Unreal Engine Developer Sam Dieter to “not change the output directory because by default the images that are output should be placed in your Saved folder under a folder called StereoPanorama”.  
Restarted Unreal Engine and tried that but still the same result: no images are saved.

Am I doing something wrong or can anyone confirm it’s broken?

Edit: just figured it out: it’s not broken - you must invoke the console **while in play mode** (shift F1 to regain mouse mode after moving to a position).
