The techniques described herein relate to methods, apparatus, and computer readable media configured to encode and/or decode video data. Immersive media data is accessed that comprises a hierarchical track structure comprising at least (a) a first track at a first level of the hierarchical track structure comprising first immersive media elementary data, wherein the first track is a parameter track, and the first immersive media elementary data comprises timed metadata, and (b) a second track at a second level in the hierarchical track structure that is different than the first level of the first track, the second track comprising metadata specifying an immersive media track derivation operation. The immersive media track derivation operation is performed on at least the first immersive media elementary data to generate composite immersive media data for the second track.
