For Resolve 18 - this workflow also works. If you are having a resolution issue (your render is not as sharp as the direct output from Insta360 Studio), here is the potential problem and solution: 1. Make sure you have the Paid Studio Version of the Resolve that allows your input above 4K video. 2. Make sure your input file is the highest quality output from Insta360 Studio - 360 Video / 5760 X 2880 / ProRes 422 MOV file. 3. Set your Project Settings to the same resolution as the input file IMPORTANT! So let's say you are making 9 by 16 IG Reel - use 3240 x 5760 as your project settings / timeline settings (Format and Output Taps). Turn on SuperScale and make sure the sharpen and denoise turn to HIGH. Fusion uses your timeline settings as resolution scaling. In the delivery tap, you can set it back to 1080 x 1920 - you just need to make sure output source from your edit tap is the highest resolution as it can be - 3240 x 5760 for 9 by 16. This will make sure your Resolve output has crazy good quality. Again, this might be overkilled but if you want the best output, do that!
Every time I need a refresher on working with 360 footage, I always have to come back to Hugh. If Hugh ain't at the helm, I don't mess with it.... sorry every other tutorial creator.... this is home ;)
Exceptionally thorough and clear - a rare commodity on TH-cam! Just finishing my first Insta360 edit while watching this over and over, subscribing as I can see you've got a ton of material I can learn from.
Hey man, super tutorial, appreciate it. Finally feel comfortable to stop fiddling with my phone, simply convert the footage and get it into resolve for real reframe editing that can be integrated into the rest of the video workflow. KartaVR is a lifesaver, so clean, no crashing! Thanks again!

Hello Hugh. Can you make a tutorial for editing 360 video on FCPX for us Final Cut Pro users? I'm trying to master 360 editing on FCPX first before testing the water with Resolve and make the switch.
Superb! Clear and easy to follow: was doing the initial edit in 360Studio, then sending the output to Resolve for finishing - this is so much better! Brilliant work, looking forward to learning more with you.
Hi Hugh, thank you for the great work. I only just started 180 degree VR filmmaking. I downloaded Reactor Lua and Resolve 19. However, when I drag the Lua to the Fusion console, a pop-up window says that I need to use the Resolve Studio. I was wondering whether you have encountered this message before? If so, would you be so kind as to let me know how to continue the installation of Reactor, please? Thank you so much!
Hi Hugh I'm new to all of this just got my X3 and now I learned I need to learn DR to be able to make 360 videos but all the video tutorials I see is about reframing I don't want to reframe or maybe just the beginning of the video I want the viewer to be able to swipe the screen and choose what they want to watch. Now if you're not to busy can you make a video regarding that that a complete DR beginner would understand. I mean I just down loaded DR but have some editing experience as I have some videos on my channel. much appreciated

It is actually very easy in Premiere. For Resolve, you will need to use a mask to mask out the middle part and tranform tool to cut out the extra left and right.
@@hughhou Ohh man! Okay copy that. So I will basically use QooStudio to stich, bring it into premiere and use Projection-Export? Honored that you got back to me so quickly - you're helping change the game!! Hopefully Davinci will come out with something like "projection" soon. Thank you Hugh.
Hugh, loved your suggestion in the previous video using Reframe360 to think as a director and not as an animator and focus on storytelling. Is it possible to use this KartaVR plugin and still create multiple cameras that we can transition between?
Thank you for the nice video! Do you know whether (and if yes, how) KartaVR can help to convert Cubemap videos from TH-cam to an equirectangular format?

Wow thank you for the tips! I have no idea how to even do short. Trying to look for a best practices guide to do short that offer education value instead of turning a professional TH-cam channel into another TikTok lol .
HI thanks for the video Hugh, i wanted to ask is there a version for macs for the reframe 360 ultra? i have a client that needs me to do it in DaVinci Resolve rather than FCPX. Thanks.
Hey ✌ first thanks for all this tutoriels and informations it's an amazing job 🥰🌿🍀🙏 But im now on airbook M1 solo faaaast ... but impossible to instal reactor... ? Or did im so bad 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks 🙏 have a beautiful day ✌🍀🌿
Great Video! For me H.264 does work too! Which is great becuase of the huge file sizes when using ProRes422. And i did not see a huge difference in quality.
Hi, and I watched the video, liked it very much, regards. I need some help. I have a MacBook M1 and I use Davici 17 but I can't process video from Gopro Max 360. Is there any way to put KartaVR on Davici macOS? Thank you very much.
Brilliant video, saved this one! Got both a stationary windows pc with i5 and rtx 2070, and a Macbook Pro 2019. Which one would you recommend to use for editing 360-videos from my gopro max? Just about to start up. Thanks!
Your video was a huge help. Picked up my first fusion and was basically lost on how to edit after I rendered a clip from fusion studio. With the help from the vido, I was able to edit and export my first 360 video. Granted you can tell I am not a pro, but I have a great start thanks to you.
Hi, great tutorial, thanks for taking the time. I'm just starting out in 360 video. Does this all work the same in Resolve 18, or should I look for an old copy of Resolve 17?
Hi, what a great video! Im doing truck Vlogging and bought myself a GoPro MAX but struggling to get a nice easy grab and go setup as im always on the move... Can you recommend one as i dont want to waste too much time with setting it all up with different kind of gadgets? Im thing of using magnet fixings....etc
A question to the davinci workflow: so I have to transform the original .360 files from gopro max to cineform first? is there a way to work without transformation to cineform before?
Hugh you are very king to do this kind of tutorial! It has allowed me to get much more use of my go pro max and learn how to use davinci resolve! Thank you.
Great video as alwasys Hugh, I don't think there's anyone better than you, I have a question if you could help me, I have videos recorded with the Gopro Fusion years ago in Japan but the files to create the edits are missing, I just have only the videos afortunately, but they are 2 videos always in every recorded, how can i stitch those videos with the files missed? thanks a lot
I believe you don't need meta to stitch Fusion - using the Fusion software form GoPro. I will try the new GoPro Player to see if that work. If not, Mistika or AVP might be you only option :(
little update, got my insta360 one x2 yesterday and made some 360 sample footage, and wow this reframing is much more familiar to me with the keyframes and all that in resolve than the laggy andoid app, or the insta 360 studio 2021. I literally smiled to the monitor viewing how smoothly the edition was. Also need to mention than im from the lucky population with the m1 chip on the 2020 MBP and there's no stutter at all working with proRES on DvR. Thanks again Hugh!!!!!
hi man, thanks for your beautiful video, but i try to import to onex2 but resolve doesen't working. I installed plugin and the script but it's impossible to importing video. Can you ask me the solution ? Thanks and congratulation from Italy.
Hi Hugh Hou thank you for all the great info because of you I'm making some pretty cool looks with the insta360 in the airsoft community! I have a question I've been looking all around for help. I got the BCC VR unit to insert my helmet cam footage into my 360 like I seen you did with a race video but for some reason the frames never match up so the helmet cam is out of sync do you have a video to reference this issue?
@@hughhou the 360 was in 50 and the headcam is 29.97 when I don't use the insert the video starts at the right time and plays but it's only when I make a matte of the video that it just skips to a different time on the insert no matter what. I tried to render at a different frame rate then insert still not good.
Hi boss! Thanks for the video! It is amazing! I do have a little question for you though. Lets say I get a nice 360 video that I want to upload to youtube as it is, and not reframed, so that people can pan and tilt in youtube, but I would like to color grade the video first as I shot the video on log profile on my insta 360 one r. Do you have any sugestions?
Yes, this is the tutorial series you need if your resolve: th-cam.com/video/xlOhluai5mk/w-d-xo.html - but I also recommend this one for really hands on tips: th-cam.com/video/ypB2J_p1Ayk/w-d-xo.html
hey thank you for this tutorial.. but i have one problem.. - my insta 360 footage has two black holes when i go for the tiny planet effect.. any solution to this?? thanks!
I got the 360 plug in installed. I have the gear 360 camera and am not understanding how to get the video from 2 circles side by side to a single immersive video.
This step is called stitching. You will need a stitch software - Resolve is a editing software. It has Fusion node to help stitch but it is not it for. The software you will need will be Mistika VR or Mistika Boutique.
omg, man this is a life saver coming from fcpx. Fcpx as you said can do all of that except velocity curves, which is a MUST! Thanks to you finally i've figured it out!
Hello Hugh, thanks for your videos! I have a slight problem... the .lua file doesn't start the installation process when I drop it in my Davinci resolve 17?? Any idea why??
Hello Mr. Hou - Great video, very informative. I do have a question for you. I have GoPro Max 360 footage that I tried to edit in DaVinci Resolve Studio 17 (paid version) and the Max .360 file format does not show in DaVinci Resolve 17. I have installed the Reactor and KartaVR, but when I try to load the Max .360 videos, it does not show. I do see that when you import the .360 footage, your extension is (.mov). I tried changing the file format to .mov but it did not work. How do you import GoPro Max .360 into DaVinci Resolve Studio 17 and edit the files? Thank you in advance!
Hugh, what do you think of using the desktop Insta360 to quickly frame (with speed ramping etc) , then exporting ProRes422 to Resolve to polish? Karta is amazing, but the ease of reframing and animating in the desktop app outshines the manual process in Resolve. I get that to reframe you'd have to use the app and export again, but this is actually faster than exporting full res equirectangular and then generating proxies in Resolve for me. I've been running tests and am having a hard time finding a big difference in how karta or the 360 apps handle sampling when it comes to 1080 output, but wanted to get your take on the downside of this workflow.
Yes it totally work. If you are more comfortable with the insta360 studio app - please use it! The quality lost your viewers won't be able to see it. IG and TH-cam compress the final anyway!
@@hughhou I think my dream workflow would be, being able to use a tablet 360 app with viewfinder to virtually shoot the scene, and then transfer that tracking/reframe data into Resolve/karta when needed for fine adjustments in the spline and keyframe panels. I have to believe this is coming someday ;)
How are you dealing with quality loss? My videos are looking awful, very pixelated. I've tried using Reframe360XL and it's way better for animating keyframes since it's OpenFX based and not Fusion, so you can view keyframes in the timeline. However it suffers from the same problem: Bilinear filtering is too low when adjusting field of view.
Hi Hugh! Can you please do a video on editing/color grading stereoscopic 3D footage in Davinci Resolve? I have some footage shot on Samsung Round 360 and not sure how to view the footage on a timeline in Davinci. Thansk!
Are you on Resolve 19 Studio or the free version? The free version disable support for ALL third party scripting in 19.1 - so if you need to the free solution, downgrade it back to 19 until Resolve fix their issue. Or pay the Studio version (which might not be idea if you do not have it already - and you probably get it free down the road for ANY blackmagic hardware purchases...)
@ I paid Davinci Resolve Studio 19 but when I try to install the latest version reactor via dragging the lua script, I received an error when trying to install: “Installation Status Step 3 of 8, Installation Error”🥲🥲🥲🥲
How to stabilize using the plugin in Davinci, I think the insta360 app is not doing a good job. I tried stabilizing in Davinci while using the free plugin but you start seeing the frame stich. make sense what I'm asking? thanks a lot man for you help! cheers
I want to shoot my 360 video on my INSTA360 ONE X, take the micrSD card out, transfer the footage to my computer and then edit it there. DaVinci Resolve now has a plugin to edit 360 video but I think I need some intermediate software to convert/integrate the files that come straight from the camera.
@@hughhou Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I did discover that and got the whole thing working using Studio and then edit in Resolve. All thanks to your videos.
Thanks again for this great video! I am still a bit puzzled....With the Gopro Max I can export via the player into a 5.7K HEVC file. Next I could start and edit this into Davinci. But what is the purpose or reason or difference in quality, if you export in 4K? or export in 1080p? then you could also import a 4K file from the Max? So the real question.......what is the benefit (and real visual comparison) between the 5.7K vs 4K? This also because after export you either watch your result on a 4K monitor, or 4K TV.....
I bought davinci resolve studio, installed KartaVR and followed all your steps but when I drag the effect nothing changes in the video and then I get a GPU error message. Do you know how I can fix this? I am using Resolve Studio 17
@@hughhou I finished my video, will publish it tomorrow, I got an amazing result I am super happy, and this is a lot thanks to you!! And Resolve is amazing, so much better than Premiere. I will try to make a little shout-out on Twitter!!
FYI Reactor (or any Fusion script) doesn't work if you're running the Synology Drive Client service. You have to disable "Synology Drive VSS Service x64" temporarily to get it to work.
Thanks for the info. I hit this problem while installing Reactor so it saved me a lot of trouble. Incidentally, once Reactor is installed, I can restart the Drive VSS service, start Resolve and Reframe360 still works on projects that have previously used it. However, you cannot open any new Reactor script without disabling Drive VSS first.
Hi, thank you for your in depth videos! I followed up all the steps in your tutorial but can see a line in the exported video from DaVinci. I loaded the footage of the Insta 360 One R into the Insta 360 software to stitch it. The exported video has no stitch line. Then I imported it into DaVinci Resolve, set the timeline to 5.7K and 'stretch to all corners' and drop the KartaVR/Viewer/kvrReframe360Ultra effect on my video. I adjust it so its not fish eye and export it. The exported video has a very visible line going through it, which looks as DaVinci only exported 180° of the camera and stitched that together. Do you have an idea what could be the problem?
Before I purchase the Resolve Studio, with this plugin, will I be able to create a multi-cam sequence of the same 360 video using 2 different reframed perspectives?
That will be a composition - you can do it in Fusion or by render 1 out and 2nd out and comp it again in Fusion. A better tool for composition and VFX (this is VFX you are asking ) will be Adobe After Effects.
@@hughhou I did it! Sorry I always end up figure it out before you answer ahah I basically doubled my clip in the timeline with the KartaVR applied on both and then adjusted the perspective I wanted, then I generated a multicam sequence from the clips in the timeline (instead of clips in the media bin) and it worked perfectly. Sometimes I went back to the first timeline to adjust the perspective but except that it was quite efficient. Before that I of course exported from Insta360 studio following your teachings. I published my video on my youtube account (it's the urban exploration one if you want to see the result). In this project I even transition at the end to a photogrammetry model, bringing the audience into Unity Play. I tagged you on Twitter and in a Facebook group to thank you because your tutorials have been really helpful!! :)
Thank you Hugh... helps me a lot. 👍🏻 Is there a way to track objects in DR 17 in reframed 360 video for example to keep one object in focus no matter how it moves around?
Very useful again. Has Karta VR now fully replaced your sphere 3D + 3d camera approach from your previous video? I tried this with 4 cams and it put my 6gb vram system into a comatose state.
Hi Hugh, I make 360 degree videos in 8K with the Insta 360 Pro 2. I would like to extract normal videos (not 360 degrees) from this. I am currently using Premiere CC with GoPro Reframe, but there are problems with 8K. Would DaVinciResolve 17 with Reframe360 be the better choice? Is there only 4K or is it possible to "reframe" my 8K videos? e.g. paid version from DaVinciResolve? Does 8K bring a noticeably better quality? Thanks JOE
You can use Resolve certainly just follow this tutorial. But you should be able to do that in Premiere with GoPro FX Reframe no problem as well! What is your error and why you can't do it in Premiere?
Hi, thanks for the video. It has certainly made reframing much easier. Do you have a video on how to render 360 clips without reframing? I can't seem to get DR17 to render in 360 after Insta360 studio exported.
This is awesome. I recently purchased the Studio version (and got my free Speed Editor) but was still using the Insta360 Studio to reframe then going into Resolve to edit. How would you compare that workflow with this?
Hey Hugh - thanks so much for all your work for the community! YOU ARE THE MAN! Over here in Japan all of us here playing with VR watch whats coming from you multiple times over. QUESTION - now that this video is a year old - is Resolve still the better editing tool for 180 and 360 VR to play stuff realtime? Or has that changed? I love the virtual tools in Premier and haven't touched resolve yet but wonder if it's the way to go...
Thanks again for the tutorial! But is there no way to control the position of the frame by dragging the screen like on the smartphone? Or maybe by using the Arrow Keys? I often let the Cam stationary and making my tricks around and over the cam. It would drive me crazy to always using these separate wheels

HI thanks for the video Hugh, i wanted to ask is there a version for macs for the reframe 360 ultra? i have a client that needs me to do it in DaVinci Resolve rather than FCPX. Thanks.
Yes I use Mac for reframe 360 ultra :)
Hey ✌ first thanks for all this tutoriels and informations it's an amazing job 🥰🌿🍀🙏 But im now on airbook M1 solo faaaast ... but impossible to instal reactor... ? Or did im so bad 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks 🙏 have a beautiful day ✌🍀🌿
Great Video! For me H.264 does work too! Which is great becuase of the huge file sizes when using ProRes422. And i did not see a huge difference in quality.
Thanks for the info!
Nice I learned much thank you so much
I am glad!
Hi, and I watched the video, liked it very much, regards. I need some help. I have a MacBook M1 and I use Davici 17 but I can't process video from Gopro Max 360. Is there any way to put KartaVR on Davici macOS? Thank you very much.
There is some issue on Resolve in M1 - I will try to solve it soon and find a fix :)
@@hughhou Super. I will follow with interest. It will be very useful to me.
Brilliant video, saved this one! Got both a stationary windows pc with i5 and rtx 2070, and a Macbook Pro 2019. Which one would you recommend to use for editing 360-videos from my gopro max? Just about to start up. Thanks!
Your video was a huge help. Picked up my first fusion and was basically lost on how to edit after I rendered a clip from fusion studio. With the help from the vido, I was able to edit and export my first 360 video. Granted you can tell I am not a pro, but I have a great start thanks to you.
Hi, great tutorial, thanks for taking the time. I'm just starting out in 360 video. Does this all work the same in Resolve 18, or should I look for an old copy of Resolve 17?
Hi, what a great video! Im doing truck Vlogging and bought myself a GoPro MAX but struggling to get a nice easy grab and go setup as im always on the move... Can you recommend one as i dont want to waste too much time with setting it all up with different kind of gadgets? Im thing of using magnet fixings....etc
Very informative as always, Thanks Hugh for all your efforts, greatly appreciated.
My pleasure!
A question to the davinci workflow: so I have to transform the original .360 files from gopro max to cineform first? is there a way to work without transformation to cineform before?
Not in Resolve workflow. Resolve need editing friendly format.
With your tutorial I am ready to dive into Davinci and Insta 360, thanks
Hugh you are very king to do this kind of tutorial! It has allowed me to get much more use of my go pro max and learn how to use davinci resolve! Thank you.
I learned it from you, thank you.
I am glad 🙂
Thank you for the taking the time to create these tutorials with so much detail and sharing it with everyone. Keep up the awesome work. 👍
Glad you like them!
Great tutorial! What is number for Qoocam 8K to remove fisheye disortion?
Thanks for the informative and eye opening video.
My pleasure!
Great video as alwasys Hugh, I don't think there's anyone better than you, I have a question if you could help me, I have videos recorded with the Gopro Fusion years ago in Japan but the files to create the edits are missing, I just have only the videos afortunately, but they are 2 videos always in every recorded, how can i stitch those videos with the files missed? thanks a lot
I believe you don't need meta to stitch Fusion - using the Fusion software form GoPro. I will try the new GoPro Player to see if that work. If not, Mistika or AVP might be you only option :(
@@hughhou is not working with any Gopro app or program, that's why I'm lost, I will try Mistika or AVP as you suggest and thanks.
Nice. I am new to this and was wondering why only a 5.7K file.? Can I not do 8K in Resolve?
Yes you can in Resolve Studio the paid version
Thanks Hugh. Brilliant stuff as always. 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it
this is pure gold thanks hugh!
little update, got my insta360 one x2 yesterday and made some 360 sample footage, and wow this reframing is much more familiar to me with the keyframes and all that in resolve than the laggy andoid app, or the insta 360 studio 2021.
I literally smiled to the monitor viewing how smoothly the edition was.
Also need to mention than im from the lucky population with the m1 chip on the 2020 MBP and there's no stutter at all working with proRES on DvR.
Thanks again Hugh!!!!!
hi man, thanks for your beautiful video, but i try to import to onex2 but resolve doesen't working. I installed plugin and the script but it's impossible to importing video. Can you ask me the solution ? Thanks and congratulation from Italy.
You will need to convert insv file into mov first according to the tutorial.
Game Changer!
Hi Hugh Hou thank you for all the great info because of you I'm making some pretty cool looks with the insta360 in the airsoft community! I have a question I've been looking all around for help. I got the BCC VR unit to insert my helmet cam footage into my 360 like I seen you did with a race video but for some reason the frames never match up so the helmet cam is out of sync do you have a video to reference this issue?
Are they in the same frame rate?
@@hughhou the 360 was in 50 and the headcam is 29.97 when I don't use the insert the video starts at the right time and plays but it's only when I make a matte of the video that it just skips to a different time on the insert no matter what. I tried to render at a different frame rate then insert still not good.
Is it possible to set up different angles you can quickly switch between with this?
Hi boss!
Thanks for the video! It is amazing!
I do have a little question for you though. Lets say I get a nice 360 video that I want to upload to youtube as it is, and not reframed, so that people can pan and tilt in youtube, but I would like to color grade the video first as I shot the video on log profile on my insta 360 one r. Do you have any sugestions?
Yes, this is the tutorial series you need if your resolve: th-cam.com/video/xlOhluai5mk/w-d-xo.html - but I also recommend this one for really hands on tips: th-cam.com/video/ypB2J_p1Ayk/w-d-xo.html
@@hughhou You are a gentleman and a scholar, sir.
Thank you very much!!! Brill tutorial!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this.. Very easy and straight forward to follow.
I am glad!
Good vid as always! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
hey thank you for this tutorial.. but i have one problem.. - my insta 360 footage has two black holes when i go for the tiny planet effect.. any solution to this?? thanks!
I got the 360 plug in installed. I have the gear 360 camera and am not understanding how to get the video from 2 circles side by side to a single immersive video.
This step is called stitching. You will need a stitch software - Resolve is a editing software. It has Fusion node to help stitch but it is not it for. The software you will need will be Mistika VR or Mistika Boutique.
omg, man this is a life saver coming from fcpx. Fcpx as you said can do all of that except velocity curves, which is a MUST! Thanks to you finally i've figured it out!
Thanks hugh for your tutorial
Any time
Awesome Video! Hey Hugh, this just got me started in just a few hours from getting camera. So cool! Big thanks.
Hello Hugh, thanks for your videos! I have a slight problem... the .lua file doesn't start the installation process when I drop it in my Davinci resolve 17?? Any idea why??
Mmmm...strange. I should. I need to do more research then.
Hello Mr. Hou - Great video, very informative. I do have a question for you. I have GoPro Max 360 footage that I tried to edit in DaVinci Resolve Studio 17 (paid version) and the Max .360 file format does not show in DaVinci Resolve 17.
I have installed the Reactor and KartaVR, but when I try to load the Max .360 videos, it does not show. I do see that when you import the .360 footage, your extension is (.mov). I tried changing the file format to .mov but it did not work.
How do you import GoPro Max .360 into DaVinci Resolve Studio 17 and edit the files?
Thank you in advance!
Hi Hugh! KartaVR can be used also for 360 stereo post-processing? Thanks for your feedback!
Yes, absolutely
@@hughhou I couldn't find any documentation on that. Some future tutorial would be nice to see :)
Hugh, what do you think of using the desktop Insta360 to quickly frame (with speed ramping etc) , then exporting ProRes422 to Resolve to polish? Karta is amazing, but the ease of reframing and animating in the desktop app outshines the manual process in Resolve. I get that to reframe you'd have to use the app and export again, but this is actually faster than exporting full res equirectangular and then generating proxies in Resolve for me.
I've been running tests and am having a hard time finding a big difference in how karta or the 360 apps handle sampling when it comes to 1080 output, but wanted to get your take on the downside of this workflow.
Yes it totally work. If you are more comfortable with the insta360 studio app - please use it! The quality lost your viewers won't be able to see it. IG and TH-cam compress the final anyway!
@@hughhou I think my dream workflow would be, being able to use a tablet 360 app with viewfinder to virtually shoot the scene, and then transfer that tracking/reframe data into Resolve/karta when needed for fine adjustments in the spline and keyframe panels. I have to believe this is coming someday ;)
How are you dealing with quality loss? My videos are looking awful, very pixelated. I've tried using Reframe360XL and it's way better for animating keyframes since it's OpenFX based and not Fusion, so you can view keyframes in the timeline. However it suffers from the same problem: Bilinear filtering is too low when adjusting field of view.
amazing video! thank you for making this very easy to follow and really fun to watch 😊
Hey! Thanks for the tutorial, after installing the plugin I get 'unknown tool found' whenever I try to use it... any clues on a fix?
Thanks for this video it was Perfect! ! Just what i needed
Hi Hugh! Can you please do a video on editing/color grading stereoscopic 3D footage in Davinci Resolve? I have some footage shot on Samsung Round 360 and not sure how to view the footage on a timeline in Davinci. Thansk!
Have you watch the other Resolve series? th-cam.com/video/ZwojozYr68M/w-d-xo.html - I cover lots of it already.
@@hughhou you are the best! I will watch right now. Thank you so much Hugh!
this is a great tutorial,thanks
Any idea how to install Reactor on Davinci Resolve 19?. I get an error every time I try to install it?
Are you on Resolve 19 Studio or the free version? The free version disable support for ALL third party scripting in 19.1 - so if you need to the free solution, downgrade it back to 19 until Resolve fix their issue. Or pay the Studio version (which might not be idea if you do not have it already - and you probably get it free down the road for ANY blackmagic hardware purchases...)
@ I paid Davinci Resolve Studio 19 but when I try to install the latest version reactor via dragging the lua script, I received an error when trying to install: “Installation Status Step 3 of 8, Installation Error”🥲🥲🥲🥲
How to stabilize using the plugin in Davinci, I think the insta360 app is not doing a good job. I tried stabilizing in Davinci while using the free plugin but you start seeing the frame stich. make sense what I'm asking? thanks a lot man for you help! cheers
Did you stitch on Insta360 software? Stitch first and the run tho spherical stabilizer in Fusion.
I want to shoot my 360 video on my INSTA360 ONE X, take the micrSD card out, transfer the footage to my computer and then edit it there. DaVinci Resolve now has a plugin to edit 360 video but I think I need some intermediate software to convert/integrate the files that come straight from the camera.
You need Insta360 Studio to transcode it into ProRes
@@hughhou Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I did discover that and got the whole thing working using Studio and then edit in Resolve. All thanks to your videos.
Perfect - thx 🙏😀
You're welcome 😊
Can you a video on your neon title and compositions
Thanks again for this great video! I am still a bit puzzled....With the Gopro Max I can export via the player into a 5.7K HEVC file. Next I could start and edit this into Davinci. But what is the purpose or reason or difference in quality, if you export in 4K? or export in 1080p? then you could also import a 4K file from the Max? So the real question.......what is the benefit (and real visual comparison) between the 5.7K vs 4K? This also because after export you either watch your result on a 4K monitor, or 4K TV.....
Don't use HEVC - use ProRes or Cineform.
@@hughhou thanks but why not HEVC 5.7k? What is the difference with 5.7k cineform?
HEVC - H.265 is compressed format and Cineform is like ProRes - for editing in NLE. You use HEVC for delivery not editing.
I bought davinci resolve studio, installed KartaVR and followed all your steps but when I drag the effect nothing changes in the video and then I get a GPU error message. Do you know how I can fix this? I am using Resolve Studio 17
I think I solved it I had to check "auto" in the selection of the GPU between CUDA and OpenCL
Good tips. Sound like a 17 glitch. Glad you solve it
I have another issue, it's in the fusion spline screen I don't have the checkboxes
@@hughhou yes thank you! Still working on the making the fusion part work
@@hughhou I finished my video, will publish it tomorrow, I got an amazing result I am super happy, and this is a lot thanks to you!! And Resolve is amazing, so much better than Premiere. I will try to make a little shout-out on Twitter!!
FYI Reactor (or any Fusion script) doesn't work if you're running the Synology Drive Client service. You have to disable "Synology Drive VSS Service x64" temporarily to get it to work.
Oh wow thank you for letting us know! I don't use Synology - I use Qnap with no issue.
Thanks for the info. I hit this problem while installing Reactor so it saved me a lot of trouble. Incidentally, once Reactor is installed, I can restart the Drive VSS service, start Resolve and Reframe360 still works on projects that have previously used it. However, you cannot open any new Reactor script without disabling Drive VSS first.
Thank you! Ran into the same problem and that helped fix it.
Hi, thank you for your in depth videos!
I followed up all the steps in your tutorial but can see a line in the exported video from DaVinci. I loaded the footage of the Insta 360 One R into the Insta 360 software to stitch it. The exported video has no stitch line. Then I imported it into DaVinci Resolve, set the timeline to 5.7K and 'stretch to all corners' and drop the KartaVR/Viewer/kvrReframe360Ultra effect on my video. I adjust it so its not fish eye and export it. The exported video has a very visible line going through it, which looks as DaVinci only exported 180° of the camera and stitched that together. Do you have an idea what could be the problem?
That never happen to me. Let me check to report back.
@@hughhou Great thank you! I send you a screenshot on fb. I still have the trouble with the KartarVR Plugin.
Before I purchase the Resolve Studio, with this plugin, will I be able to create a multi-cam sequence of the same 360 video using 2 different reframed perspectives?
That will be a composition - you can do it in Fusion or by render 1 out and 2nd out and comp it again in Fusion. A better tool for composition and VFX (this is VFX you are asking ) will be Adobe After Effects.
@@hughhou I did it! Sorry I always end up figure it out before you answer ahah I basically doubled my clip in the timeline with the KartaVR applied on both and then adjusted the perspective I wanted, then I generated a multicam sequence from the clips in the timeline (instead of clips in the media bin) and it worked perfectly. Sometimes I went back to the first timeline to adjust the perspective but except that it was quite efficient. Before that I of course exported from Insta360 studio following your teachings. I published my video on my youtube account (it's the urban exploration one if you want to see the result). In this project I even transition at the end to a photogrammetry model, bringing the audience into Unity Play. I tagged you on Twitter and in a Facebook group to thank you because your tutorials have been really helpful!! :)
Thank you Hugh... helps me a lot. 👍🏻
Is there a way to track objects in DR 17 in reframed 360 video for example to keep one object in focus no matter how it moves around?
With object tracking, yes. Let me make a tutorial soon.
Very useful again. Has Karta VR now fully replaced your sphere 3D + 3d camera approach from your previous video? I tried this with 4 cams and it put my 6gb vram system into a comatose state.
It is getting there. I still use my Sphere 3D + 3D camera approach tho as it is still faster and simplier to wrap my head around.
Hi Hugh,
I make 360 degree videos in 8K with the Insta 360 Pro 2.
I would like to extract normal videos (not 360 degrees) from this.
I am currently using Premiere CC with GoPro Reframe, but there are problems with 8K.
Would DaVinciResolve 17 with Reframe360 be the better choice?
Is there only 4K or is it possible to "reframe" my 8K videos? e.g. paid version from DaVinciResolve?
Does 8K bring a noticeably better quality?
Thanks JOE
You can use Resolve certainly just follow this tutorial. But you should be able to do that in Premiere with GoPro FX Reframe no problem as well! What is your error and why you can't do it in Premiere?
Hi, thanks for the video. It has certainly made reframing much easier. Do you have a video on how to render 360 clips without reframing? I can't seem to get DR17 to render in 360 after Insta360 studio exported.
Have you see my Resolve 360 tutorial? Check the playlist - it work the same in DR17
This is awesome. I recently purchased the Studio version (and got my free Speed Editor) but was still using the Insta360 Studio to reframe then going into Resolve to edit. How would you compare that workflow with this?
If you used to Insta360 to reframe - I will just stick to it. It is different and really depend on how you feel more comfortable.
Hey Hugh - thanks so much for all your work for the community! YOU ARE THE MAN! Over here in Japan all of us here playing with VR watch whats coming from you multiple times over. QUESTION - now that this video is a year old - is Resolve still the better editing tool for 180 and 360 VR to play stuff realtime? Or has that changed? I love the virtual tools in Premier and haven't touched resolve yet but wonder if it's the way to go...
Yes I just make a Resolve 18 tutorial on Canon R5 C VR!
@@hughhou oh amazing !! Just can’t wait! Because we just shot on that and I’m scratching my head which is the best way forward to include 3D assets
Makasih banyak kaka, you are my hero
Thanks again for the tutorial! But is there no way to control the position of the frame by dragging the screen like on the smartphone? Or maybe by using the Arrow Keys? I often let the Cam stationary and making my tricks around and over the cam. It would drive me crazy to always using these separate wheels
Need to develop a mobile sync solution - right now no...
