The images are separate. and effects added to the 360 image cannot (or should not) affect the 2d image.

Here is an example...

Place the 360 degree image on the timeline.....It will fill the frame right to left but will be distorted, particularly at the top and bottom..
Set image duration to around 10 seconds
Click the FX box and add the View in 360 effect.....Now only the central part of the image will fill the frame but the distortion will be corrected
You can animate this image using keyframes... e.g. pan in a complete 360 degree circle clockwise around the dolmen.
Move the effect cursor red line to the left side of the graph area (start of the clip)
Move the View in 360 horizontal slider to the left (-180)
Create a keyframe
Slide the cursor line to the right side (end of clip)
Move the View in 360 horizontal slider to the right (180)
The clip will play showing a clockwise pan around the dolmen lasting around 10 seconds.

Text added to this will appear normal
Add the 2D image to the timeline so it follows the 360 degree image. As there will be no effects (unless you add them it will appear and play normally as a 2D image and text will be normal also.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE IN VP AND IT EXPORTS AND PLAYS CORRECTLY ON THE PC...HOWEVER YOUTUBE MAY NOT SEE IT THE SAME WAY

In your video on YouTube the 2D images ARE distorted but I don't think it's a VP error. It may be something that has been introduced by YouTube thinking that the whole videois in 360 even the 2D images. If YT is adding the navigating buttons then they are also adding them to the 2D sections

I think the answer here is not to mix the formats when sending to YT.

I Think the same, but as said version 7.02 can do it, with place 360 and scale 65% which distorts the image a little bit. but otherwise it works.

But thanks for trying to fix the problem.

Confirmed "Place in 360" can't be previewed properly in the sequence - this is a bug.

[Edit]: This bug has been fixed in recent versions.

About the distortion. This is unavoidable. "Place in 360" projects the 2D video on a very small portion of the 360 video - which is a spherical surface. This is a lossy process and a lot of information could loss during the process.
