Techniques and systems to support immersive media content navigation and editing are described. A two-dimensional equirectangular projection of a spherical video is generated by a computing device and displayed in a navigator portion of a user interface of a content editing application. A visual position indicator, indicative of a position within the spherical video, is displayed over the 2D equirectangular projection of the spherical video. A portion of the spherical video is determined based on the position, and a planar spherical view of the portion of the spherical video is generated by the computing device and displayed in a compositor portion of the user interface. The navigator portion and the compositor portion are linked such that user input to the navigator portion or the compositor portion of the user interface causes corresponding visual changes in both the navigator portion and the compositor portion of the user interface.
