If you have the Insta360 One X and are wondering why your videos don't look as good as some of the samples you've seen, then this video is for you. Here are 9 techniques for getting the best video quality from the Insta360 One X. Where to buy the gear I used: * Insta360 One X with free battery or selfie stick bit.ly/onexdiscount * Powerdewise lav mic amzn.to/2RrwYdb Cheap but reliable, decent sound. It's what I used for this video. * Rode Wireless Go amzn.to/2XgjYME Wireless lav mic. The transmitter has a built-in mic. No need to slip wires through clothes. Pricey but convenient, nice sound. * Zoom H1n amzn.to/2XeV93H slim and compact * Zoom H2n amzn.to/2IJoOZz thicker than H1n but has spatial audio microphone
Mic, thank you for your kind advice to us beginners! I have a problem with viewing vidto s that are on the camera over Wi-Fi with my IPhone SE. The videos on the camera are then so jolting, starting and stopping, and skipping, the audio also gets so badly distorted than one cannot understand speech. If I download the video to my phone and then play it, it is viewable and speech is intelligible. Is my Insta360 one x WiFi transmitter bad, my micro sd-card bad or my iPhone SE not powerful enough? I use a Sandisk Extreme 128GB U3 A2. Also, I would love a beginner tutorial on 360 photos, because the stitch line on photos are as bad as on videos on my camera. Really love your videos, you are very good at teaching as well as very knowledgeable👍 Thank you so much for your guidance! Best regards, Ken from Finland
@@kenspaceman3938 Thank you very much Ken! The wireless viewing mode is just a preview, intended to let you decide whether to download the video to your phone. On my Samsung S10, the video jolts every 5 seconds or so. For the stitch line on photos, try to click on optimize stitching. BTW how far away are the objects that have stitching problems?
Mick, I have tried clicking the optimize button but it didn’t help minimizing the stitch line on the floor. I have had the camera on a fully extended Insta360 invisible stick.
QQ: Does the app export 360 video at lower max res than using the PC software instead? Is this documented anywhere? Sorry if I missed this in your videos, and thanks for all your great work.
th-cam.com/video/Y4E1bOaCqB8/w-d-xo.html This is the best quality I got out of insta 360 by using a cinemascope aspect ratio to get the maximum pixels in the frame. Also kept the ISO to minimum to reduce any digital noise.
This is a video that I will achieve here on TH-cam for future reference or 'brush up'. Your information and videos are so valuable, therefore this subscriber ALWAYS LEAVES A THUMB UP as any faithful watcher should. I have learned so much from watching them. Thank you for making this retiree with her hobby. Sending shaking vibes from the earthquake city, your T.
Another great video Mic. I am glad you mentioned audio quality. It is the one factor that consistently causes me to move to something else. The hollow sound, wind noise muted sound are some of the most distracting factors for sound
Thanks buddy! I was one of the people who underestimated the importance of audio quality. I learned the hard way that audio quality is actually essential. :)
Please offer us your commentary on the red spot which floats around your head like a mosquito at some points in this video. I presume it's related to a sun flare in some way, but different due to this being a 360 camera. Have you discovered an tips to avoid its appearance and/or ways to get rid of it when it appears in your video? Thanks! Your series is excellent. Thanks for sharing all the advice.
Thanks Home3D! The red spot is a type of glare. It is present in some cameras such as the Theta V. There is no easy way to remove it other than to choose a camera that doesn't have it. Cameras that don't have it include the GoPro Fusion and Theta Z1.
Wow, I was WONDERING why my videos were coming out with artifacts after color grading! Will try out "Supurb" export next time. I originally didn't even understand why there was an option above "Original", as that is assumed to always be the highest quality...or at least I thought so! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks Virtual Japan! I hope you get fewer artifacts with Superb. The other way is to use Premiere no stitch workflow. That will also reduce compression.
@@VIRTUALJAPAN well we have one hope - insta360 said they are adding an editor to insta360 studio. it's taking a long time but i hope to see it. i believe it will allow no-stitch editing.
360Rumors hmm the only editing related feature I want in studio is being able to set time lapses like on mobile. I really hope they don’t waste their time on trying to add in too many editing options to studio. Personally I’d rather them not even focus on making their own stand alone editor at all really. Just focus on making plugins for resolve and premier, with 360 specific features. I’m thinking something similar to what Borris FX does, but by Insta360 for 360
Thank you for your no nonsense reviews advice, we just bought the Insta 360 One X from the Insta website and got the free battery and we did use your affiliate link, the least we could do.
Thank you! You always give us a thorough explanation. With these new tech (360 camera) that has been recently available to us consumers, your presence here in youtube is very much needed and appreciated. Hope you get the clout you deserve. 👍👍👍
I'm a first time owner of a 360 cam. After watching all your videos I was able to use the camera right away without manual, like I've owned it for weeks. Thanks man, great job. Can you make a video what Windows Laptop I should buy? My current setup is not powerful enough and I don't want to import in smaller resolutions in order to edit. I want to edit in 4K right away.
Thanks Paul! TBH the best way is to get a desktop. The reason is that you can upgrade the graphics card more easily. Actually I will have a video about doing that in the future. Whether you use desktop or laptop, for editing in 4K I recommend getting a PC with the best CPU you can afford, and with a GTX 1650 or GTX 1050 Ti or better graphics card. BTW as a bonus, your pc will be VR-ready!
@@360vroomers Hi Mic, thanks for the suggestion. It crossed my mind buying a Desktop PC its way cheaper than a laptop and as u said easier to upgrade on the other hand I want to edit when I am not at home. I'm looking forward to your video and it would be great if you also mention the VR topic. I want to know more and explore 360 possibilities.
Thanks buddy! Working on several videos right now. Re mic, so far my cheap lav mic is still working although these days I use Rode Wireless Go more often. Pricey but it works pretty well.
Great video, have been a subscriber for some time! Insta360 Studio 2019 just prompted me to download Insta360 Studio 2020. It doesn't replace Studio 2019, but installs alongside it. I can't seem to find anything on the new version online. The main difference I'm seeing is that it now adds "Chromatic calibration" under "stitching calibration", and on export, they've grouped ColorPlus and "remove grain" into an "AI effects" category where you can choose either "Remove grain (night)" or "ColorPlus (day)". What has be puzzled, though, is that when exporting freecapture video, in Studio 2019 the default bitrate was for 1080p, h264 video was 18Mbps; in Studio 2020, the default is 75 Mbps. The original Insta360 files are 49Mbps per lens, so roughly 100Mbps for 360º video (correct my if I'm wrong), so this new default 70Mbps bitrate for 1080p overcapture videos seems kind of pointless. Could it be accomodating changes/higher bitrates for the One R? Here in Spain we're in hard lockdown because of the whole COVID-19 business, so I'm not even aloud to leave the house and will tinker around with these settings a bit to see if there are any noticeable quality differences, but was wondering if anyone else had come across this and what your take on it is. Stay safe and thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Hey there Trav! I can understand the difficulty with lockdown. In Los Angeles we are locked down too. About Insta360 Studio, if you have the Studio 2020, you won't need 2019. Re bitrate, I think it does make a difference but I haven't tested yet.
Great video! One of the most useful explanation video out there on TH-cam. Just got mine yesterday and will be watching your tutorial often. Thanks again
dumb question incoming - if you have the camera attached to a monopod, isn't the stitch line *always* facing you (or at least running down your arm)? What tips do you have for adjusting position to help with that?
Hi Mr. Klaw. Good question. It's ok if you can *see* the side of the camera. The problem is only when you are directly along the stitch line. Imagine there is a giant 6-foot wide flat disc that runs along the stitch line. If that disc is going to hit you or your subject, then you're in the stitch line. Change the angle of camera so that the disc doesn't hit anyone or anything important. Does that clarify? Pls. let me know if you have any questions!
Great video as always. I have one question about insta360 one x: Can you use it with dive case outside of water for longer period of time, will it overheat?
Thanks Jawenw3HL! Re the dive case, I have used it above water and it hasn't overheated, but I haven't tried it in very hot weather yet like a sunny tropical beach. I think it will indeed increase the temperature, so I would only use it when I'm planning to swim. If I'm not planning to swim, I wouldn't use it in hot weather.
Thanks jalopy2222. A lightstand is a good stand for 360 but in this case I was using a monopod called the monoshot (currently out of stock). But you can use the Insta360 Invisible Selfie Stick and an Andoer mini tripod: 360rumors.com/qubo-tripod-legs-monopod/
Hi Mick, can you do a video on how to get great VR watchable 360 video onto 360 TH-cam. Camera record settings / Insta studio export settings, best codec & what’s the difference with bit rates?. Its very hard to find anything on getting it to look great inside your VR goggles.
@@360vroomers I'm watching all your old videos because I just picked up a One X off craigslist for $220. I didn't want to drop double that for the X3. Your videos got me up to speed quickly to understand these cameras.

Great video buddy... quick question: my photos are terrible; saturated and poor colour, when i take with my oneX. Do you recommended methods, modes. To improve my photo's??
@@ibrahimyener9276 anytime buddy. Google photos and snapseed are great for editing because they will preserve the 360 metadata. Try increasing contrast. Usually that will make the colors more saturated too.
Looks like HDR have lower framerate, is it just switched by mistake and framerates don't mach in comprision, or HDR effect somhow lowers, at least perceptable, frame rate? Would like to see comparision on same framerate of HDR to non HDR..
@@360vroomers Is there 25p in US version to compare with Hdr to see if there is some specyfic difference in motion in HDR beyond changed framerate? In some tests OneX have best stitching, propobly due closest mounting of lenses, but here stitching is quite visible. Here on the left you can see visible stiching, is this possible it is due HDR? th-cam.com/video/JF_ceyJ6rJ8/w-d-xo.html

In terms of quality, what has always intrigued me is the question in which areas of a resulting picture the quality is highest or lowest, as in some areas the pixels will be 'stretched' more than in other areas. (very likely with a different answer for any of the warping modes). I would be grateful for any relevant information. Anything you can share? And what practical rules of thumb for filming for highest quality do follow from this knowledge? I have not been succesfull finding any info on that, apart from my general knowledge about lenses and projections. But what I do not know is which design or warping choices were made in e.g. specifically my insta360 one x and how do they work out.
Hi Chris! Great question. Just like other lenses, the best quality is usually in the middle area of the lens. And yes the projection will have an impact on image quality. Rectilinear can stretch at the edges more than fisheye, but more important than that is not to zoom in too much. For shooting, this means you usually have to be close to the subject to get good detail without having to zoom. I hope this helps! 😀
@@360vroomers yes that figures, I am ( a little) in image processing business myself so I am quite aware of the options, and I can second guess what happens somewhat. Still there quite a few options left for them to choose from. I just wondered what they exactly do, or what is exactly their resulting resolution mapping after doing all their optimizations. But your assessment is probably a good first rule of thumb: just try to have your main subject in the middle of any of the 2 lenses. Another reason to try to stay away from the stitching lines where possible. I also quickly learned to not stretch it too much with zooming and just enjoy the image in its entirety where possible. Still, if we would know the exact details of the pixel area mapping over the whole picture in each mode (including all their smart tricks) we could further squeeze more quality out of this in post. Best would be to find a smart test set-up to find out. Thanks for your swift reply and your very informative vids!
@@cbaten2 Thanks Chris. With equirectangular format, the highest quality portion of the file is the zenith and nadir. This is not optimal, which is why there is a push toward cubemap projection with more evenly distributed pixels. but i don't think that is happening anytime soon.
@@360vroomers Wel maybe they already move back and forth between Equirect. and cubemaps for applying scaling, blurring or sharpening etc. in the less distorted Cubemap projection realm before returning to the equirect. projection. In fact that is what we even could do manually; go from untouched (raw) equirect to cubemap proj. (using any of a few freely available tools), optimize picture quality in Photoshop/Lightroom/Nik (or video in Premiere) and then go back `to equirectangular and then use the insta360 software (or the fusion-VR Reframe plugin) for building the story. So far pure theoretical advantage, I have no clue whether that would be delivering noticeable improvement in the case of the one x and/or whether this is worth the trouble. I am going for some underwater reef shots soon. If there is one that I like really much, I might give it a go and see whther this is of any use. Intriguing and possibly even useful. in an optimal workflow.

Hi Wheelz. Sometimes yes you'll end up in the stitch line. So you need to find the best position based on stitching and glare. For example, if avoiding glare means you'll be in the stitch line, perhaps you could move to a position where you won't be in the stitch line.
Hey Mic, I filmed most of my recent trip to the US with my Insta360 One X and got an Oculus Go. When I view (unedited) movies in Insta360 VR, many of them are wobbly if there is movement like when I’m walking. For instance, mountains in the background seem to ripple a bit. Is there something I should change when recording? I used 5.7K30 in log mode (the app does not seem to apply a LUT 😔). Or should I do something in post or in the Oculus? This combo does have me exited so far but I expect it can be improved.

Thanks barattolo. I think they've canceled the Drifter. I saw a new version at CES 2019 and it was partially made of rubber. But it's been so long that I have doubts that they will ever release it, possibly due to the criticisms they've gotten from naysayers.
Hey STI. The desktop software is free to download from insta360.com. If you want, you can download it and play around with some sample files here: 360rumors.com/insta360-one-x-review/#download

I don't use the smartphone for manage videos and photos , I prefer the Studio 2019, but, but....... I don't know how to generate a HDR photo and HDR video in the Studio program.

@@LAncreetlesVoiles hi Ivan. Sure i am happy to help you. For hdr video you dont need to do anything different. Just stitch like normal video. For hdr photo, you need hdr software. The best one i found is photomatix. They have a trial version. If you want a 15% discount, use the code 360rumors. 😀
Hi sunche. In theory yes you can get a little better quality when you export from desktop. But in the real world, most people can’t tell the difference.

Great channel, Mick! Just got my Insta360 One X two days ago and am still on the basics, so the first thing I've done has been to subscribe to your channel! ;) Great tips overall! About avoiding the sticht lines, there's something I didn't fully understand about your fan example: Which part of the camera do you consider to be the fan? Logic would dictate that I want the lens aiming towards myself/my subject, and to avoid having the sides/bottom/top of the camera facing towards them. Is that correct? Thanks!
Thanks Trav! Congrats on getting the One X and getting into 360! :D I'm working on more tutorials. Re the fan analogy, the side of the camera with the lens is analogous to the front or back of the giant electric fan. The stitch line is analogous to the sharp edge of the blades of the giant electric fan. Maybe electric fan is confusing. We can say circular buzzsaw instead but that sounds morbid :)
@@360vroomers thanks! OK, now I get it! The fan analogy was about not getting hit by the blades... For some reason I was thinking "not get hit by the airflow",which honestly, didn't make much sense... You're right, the circular buzzsaw makes for an excellent example, but sounds a bit too Tarantino... 😂
I do all my Insta360oneX editing in my IPhone 7. It looks great on my phone but when I upload to TH-cam the quality seems get blurry. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Full Cyrcle. When you edit the One X on your phone, 360 videos are downconverted into 4K. That's one possibility. If you're posting your 360 video as a non-360 freecapture / overcapture / fixframe video, then you will not lose detail, although you don't have control over the bitrate. Another possibility is that you may be seeing motion blur which is more visible on youtube if you're viewing on a larger screen.
Premier no stitch work flow, high speed recording HDR vid low light, Got it! I just have to find that LUT. Also didn't know the "Tiny Planet MAN" talks about 360 vid. Q: Tonight is fireworks ,and I want to send my 0ne X up on my drone best settings to slow it down? Oh and happy fathers day .
Hey there buddy! Good to see you! Re LUT here it is: static.insta360.com/software/ONEX/LUT/ONE-X-LUT-Final-V1.0.0.cube Or you can try one of the LUTs in premiere. For fireworks with a drone, I've never done it but I would use the Shutter: Fast setting or maybe if you will move around a lot, you can set shutter speed to 1/125 or higher. I recommend testing it first if possible...
Great questions FPV. When rendering as non360 the optimum resolution varies depending on how much you are zoomed in. At the default zoom level, you can use 1080p. If you zoom out to 180deg view then technically it has 4k of detail so if you use a wide view like that you can use 3840x2160 (But with a tiny planet projection, the center part will be very detailed while the outer part of the planet would have much less detail.) I hope this helps!
@@360vroomers Is there any way to measure the pixels in a video at different stages of the video? To be able to see the difference between a section with tiny planet & a super zoom part, for example.
Thanks buddy! Sorry there are no insta360 one x plugins for any software besides Premiere / After effects. fwiw, insta360 does have a LUT for one x that should work in davinci resolve.
@@360vroomers ok thanks! I'm planning on getting one of these but I'm a Resolve user. Can I still get 5.7K or 4K resolution output at the highest bitrate from the mobile app?
Yes you can! I recommend downloading some sample files, stitching them and then importing them to Resolve to try it out. Alternatively, you can use Garmin Virb Edit, which can edit 5.7K video if your PC or Mac is powerful enough. Here are sample files to try (scroll down a bit): 360rumors.com/insta360-one-x-review/#download
@@360vroomers Thanks again for the info, I really appreciate it! Last question, I promise, LOL Is the 5.7K output stitched in the mobile app as well or must that be done on a computer to get 5.7k output?
@@theadventurebiker No worries man, keep the questions coming! Re 5.7k, it can only be done on desktop. On the smartphone your 5.7k will be stitched as 4k. BUT if you export your 5.7k video as a freecapture / fixframe non360 video in the smartphone app, then you can get the full resolution in 1080p (it will be just as detailed when stitched on the phone as when stitched on a desktop). I hope that helps.
Hello everyone> I have been having issues when I try to facebook live with this camera. When I try to stream live using the 360 live option The feed looks good as longest I do not move around, if I do it looks horribly pixelated and choppy. if I stream live using the other option live it looks fine. (setting is 5.7 30FPS all Auto) I been using my old Samsung 360 and I do not have the same issue, actually, it looks better. Anyone knows why is this happening? please let me know if this is a setting or what do I need to do. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 thanks Great video, very informative,
Hi Henry. If it becomes pixelated usually it is a bandwidth issue. Try a livestream with a strong and fast internet connection. I think you will see an improvement.
@@360vroomers Thank you for your tip. but it was not the Wifi, it was a setting on the shutter speed that made it pixelated, it got fixed by updating the firmware. If I might give my humble and untrained opinion, The 360 One X did not impress me much, except for the quality of Video, I really wanted to love it but comes short for the way I use cams. I have a Samsung Gear 360 (old cheapy one)that is superior in almost every way, like the ease of use, connectivity to live streaming sites, the app is better for shooting, better interaction with a PC, build, quality of material, etc. If Samsung ever decides to return to the 360 Arena and up their video quality, I think the 360 One X would be left behind. Good luck sir and keep the good work. Thanks
This takes care of most of my complaints about this camera, the only other big one is charging a second battery, it must be done with their 120v to USB adapter anything else never finishes charging even some really powerful chargers. And the micro-USB port instead of type C
@@360vroomers I hooked it up to quite a few 3 Amp units and the lights would go for hours but with no increased percentage, then I hooked the camera itself up to the low power units in the Tesla and it fully charged, on 3 amp it charged even faster. Something is up with that dual charger unit or mine is faulty, and each time it only has one battery because I need to be ready to shoot. At home I'll charge both using their adapter and it still does just fine. Its cool though after the 7th I'll either have a GoPro Max or a pre-order for something new. The stabilization is off on mine even after multiple calibrations it's way better on the latest firmware and the missed shots from me saving battery for candid shots on my planned shots. Hopefully the 7th has swappable batteries
Hi incaz. No they are copyrighted. Insta360 paid them for a license to use them only in the app. If you like them, you can find them on artlist.io i think. I found one of the tracks there.
No problem salvita64! Sorry, what is external micro? Is that micro USB? The One X has an micro usb adapter to connect to iPhone or Android type C. It also includes micro usb to micro usb. If you mean something else pls let me know. thanks!
Is there a way to re-stitch two clips together that have a different 'front' orientation but the come from the same video. The camera split the video into two clips and at the cut the front orientation is different. I want to maintain the 360 capability for the viewer, not just lock the front orientation.
hi Jenna. Yes to recombine the videos, you'll need a 360 video editor such as Premiere or PowerDirector. Almost all 360 video editors will let you re-orient the video (in Premiere it is called VR Rotate Sphere).
And I have one more question if your just adding regular video, if there an affect or setting that allows you to have 'regular' video added to the timeline?
Hi Jenna. you can combine one x videos with non-360 videos. There are two ways to do it: either the one x video is in 360, and then you convert the non-360 video into a 360 video (it will look like a floating screen). Alternatively, you can convert the one x video into an overcapture non-360 video, which can be combined with other regular non-360 videos. here is a tutorial for editing one x videos in premiere: th-cam.com/video/iSPYT_tdobI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Mic. I really like #3, I never thought to look at the shadow, I always looked at the sun and try to position my camera accordingly, but looking at the shadow makes better sense :). As for #8, I try using a bit rate close to 100Mbps as the target bitrate on premier, as I've heard the higher the better the video will look when exporting with H.264. I am using too high of a bitrate? It definitely takes longer to export as the file size increases a lot.
Hi Viajero360. If you're using Premiere, for H.264 use Adaptive High Bitrate (not High Bitrate). It will automatically choose the best bitrate for your content.
Thank you very much Mic, never knew about that. However, I can't use it as the ambisonic audio is converted to stereo. I usually use VR monoscopic match source ambisonic. But from now on will copy the bitrate that is suggest when choosing adaptive high bitrate onto VR monoscopic. Thanks again
@@ChristiaanRoest79 yes prores will result in the best quality and lowest compression. The disadvantage is the huge file size. Also kandao prores is slow to import into premiere. Takes a very long time. Dunno why

Hi Blackfirepdx. Are you using insta360 one x? If so, just open the .insv files in Insta360 Studio 2019. From there, go to file... export. It will export as a 360 video where the viewer can change the view themselves.
@@360vroomers I am using the Insta360 software. Once I export the videos and play them on VLC or any other player they do not rotate. The photos only export with one perspective. Not sure what I am missing.
@@ADPX24 ok in insta360 studio, there are two tabs: "View" and "Freecapture". If you export while you are in View, the exported file will be a 360 video. If you export while you are in the Freecapture tab, then the result is a non-360 freecapture / reframed / overcapture video.
When you edit in the phone app will it always export at 4k instead of 5.7k? I think editing in viewfinder on the phone is the easiest using the phone gyroscope instead of keyframing as it looks more natural. Is there a way to edit in the phone app, then export it into FCPX or Premiere Pro so it is still 5.7k? This way we can have 1080p footage as we look around the screen.
Thanks Stephen! Viewfinder does look more natural. Viewfinder mode and keyframing each have their own advantages and uses. Re editing in phone app, if you export as 360 it is limited to 4k. But if you use freecapture then it will use the full 5.7k before converting to 1080 reframed video.
Ok thanks, so if I use viewfinder can I save it as a 1080p video even from the phone app? Will the phone app set the bitrate automatically at about 15-20 Mbps for the 1080p to keep good quality? Thanks for the help :)
Hi Bart! I think I used the monoshot but it's currently out of stock. You can use the invisible selfie stick instead. It is almost as long. If you want to check out the selfie stick comparison, see here: th-cam.com/video/ZIgBZpwgP7g/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, great tutorial! Learned a lot. Just out of curiosity.. when do you expect a new model of the insta360 one(two?) x to be released? Any idea? Looking forward to your reply!
AHHHH this the video you've mentioned last time. Thanks again for sharing tricks and recommendations ! The only problem I'm facing now is the poor stitching line when I shot a photo in a room. Issue with the camera or calibration needed???
@@kenspaceman3938 Hi there Ken! Hmm for photos the One X stitching should be very smooth. About the stitching problem, how close is the object to the One X? Is it possible to reposition the one x so that the near object is not in the stitch line?
How about Editing photos? I gave up on Ps early this year. When I save the photo its Jpeg, and I don't see how to edit with Luminar. So is there something else?
Hi Duane. For photos, i like lightroom which now supports seamless editing. But it is subscription only. Another good alternative is affinity photo, which has better 360 editing than photoshop.
Using the OneX, and wanting to use Premiere Pro 2019 (I have the full Adobe Suite), but can't find the plugin anywhere. When I install Insta Studio 2019, I have the box checked for the plugin, but it's no where to be found. Pull down "Window" dropdown menu > Extensions and only see my Vimeo plugin. Please... so important... where is this plug in, how to get it into Premiere Pro? Thanks so much. I've been following you since "you had me buy the Insta360 One" several years ago. The X is a big jump up, for those who don't want to drop $5K into the Pro.
Thanks Aram! There is actually no extension for insta360. Instead, when the plugin is installed, you'll simply find that you can open insp and insv files in Premiere. If you cannot do that, reinstall Studio 2019 again, but this time make sure that Premiere is closed when you install studio. Worst case scenario, you may have to reinstall Premiere, then GoPro VR plugins, then Studio 2019, in that order.
@@360vroomers So kind of you to reply. I know you're busy with family and keeping up with all things 360º. You've been the bible to 360º folks, since the beginning. ¶¶¶ I'll try what you suggested. I sort of did what you guiding me to do last night, and it may have worked. ¶¶¶ Since we're talking, another question re. the XPhase. I've had a Panono for almost two years, and rely on that for ground level stills. Game changer, from the old DSLR/pano-head method. As you've always said, "the stitching isn't perfect." And, it overheats easily (too many photos, quickly taken), and once in a blue moon, freezes, requiring the 12-second button press for reboot. So, the XPhase -- it's so new. Is it safe to purchase? What kind of support do they have? What is the workflow, with apps, and desktop software? Are people having issues with it? Thanks.
@@schoonerheron Thanks Aram! I compared XPhase with Panono (and other cameras) here: th-cam.com/video/XVbOKYGnluk/w-d-xo.html For the XPhase workflow, see here: th-cam.com/video/ZzBanUIMWeA/w-d-xo.html Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks Bennie. It seems that you want to create an immersive experience. You might also be interested in Insta360 EVO, which can shoot in VR180. I think VR180 is more immersive than 2D 360.

360Rumors Thank you for the suggestion but that is not my goal. I bought the Ambeo headset for my iPhone and it is currently the only external mic I have. I will be using the Insta360 one X as extra camera during my upcoming trip to the US, to get those shots that I cannot get with iPhone or Gopro 7
1080 is not good quality video!! The main downfall with the Insta cameras is the compromised video resolution output. The current trend is 4K. Rendered Insta videos are at best noisy 1080p... which is a pity as the concept is good.
If you want high quality video, then even a smart phone will provide better quality than a consumer 360 camera. The purpose of a 360 camera is completely different - 3rd person view, invisible flying camera effect, shoot without aiming, super stabilization. Those are the benefits of 360. If resolution is more important than those benefits, use a non-360 camera. For situations where those benefits are more important, use a 360 camera.
@@360vroomers I think the 360 camera "era" is in its infancy... still a mere novelty. Hopefully it will mature. The issue is that at this stage one cannot shoot in 4K as the main resolution and insert Insta footage without seeing the huge difference... Regards!
@@TheJWC56RSA many people thought 360 was a novelty back in 2017. By 2019, enough people understood that it was useful for the invisible flying camera effect etc. The detail is lower but people know it is better for wider shots. It is similar to using a rectilinear ultrawide or a fisheye. You use it to achieve a certain look. But you don't use it as a do-everything lens. In fact, professional studios have been incorporating 360 cameras for their videos. AC/DC recently shot an entire music video using 360 cameras for NON-360 video. 360 cameras are unique creative tools. It is our job as creators to know when and how to use them, and when not to.
Hi 5thGalaxyStudios. The One X by itself cannot do that. You can look for a service similar to Livescale.tv that supports spatial audio. They might accept a separate audio input.
Hi Richard. In this video, I used HDR Video mode, which can look more flat than regular mode. If you prefer the normal look, you can increase contrast in your preferred video editor.
I've seen some of your videos and liked it, but this one... You give best techniques how to get best video quality, but this video quality itself is so bad (worse than your other videos) and even selfie stick is visible :/ EDIT: OK, it might've been YT glitch not giving me best quality, but still... You talk about reducing lense flare, but there is one through all the video
Hi Cronus. Thanks for your feedback. I used the same workflow that I used for my other videos... The selfie stick tripod is visible because sometimes I left the tripod legs open. As for the red dot glare, I can't eliminate it. I'm only talking about the glare that looks like reduced contrast or the one that looks like uneven exposure.
FALSE ADVERTISING: The Insta 360 X2 can fail underwater with all compartments sealed. Water got into my camera through the lens housing. It was only a couple weeks old and now has a permanent fogged lens, but still runs. USELESS. Before that happened, the memory card it came with stopped being recognized. Their customer support is giving me the runaround. Buyer beware
Hi Muhammad. Thanks for the feedback. This is a 360 camera so the 5.7k resolution is spread out over 360 degrees. A typical smartphone will have more pixels per degree and better image quality. The reason to shoot 360 is not image quality but the 3rd person view and ability for reframe.
If you have the Insta360 One X and are wondering why your videos don't look as good as some of the samples you've seen, then this video is for you. Here are 9 techniques for getting the best video quality from the Insta360 One X. Where to buy the gear I used:
* Insta360 One X with free battery or selfie stick bit.ly/onexdiscount
* Powerdewise lav mic amzn.to/2RrwYdb Cheap but reliable, decent sound. It's what I used for this video.
* Rode Wireless Go amzn.to/2XgjYME Wireless lav mic. The transmitter has
a built-in mic. No need to slip wires through clothes. Pricey but convenient, nice sound.
* Zoom H1n amzn.to/2XeV93H slim and compact
* Zoom H2n amzn.to/2IJoOZz thicker than H1n but has spatial audio microphone
Mic, thank you for your kind advice to us beginners! I have a problem with viewing vidto s that are on the camera over Wi-Fi with my IPhone SE. The videos on the camera are then so jolting, starting and stopping, and skipping, the audio also gets so badly distorted than one cannot understand speech. If I download the video to my phone and then play it, it is viewable and speech is intelligible. Is my Insta360 one x WiFi transmitter bad, my micro sd-card bad or my iPhone SE not powerful enough? I use a Sandisk Extreme 128GB U3 A2. Also, I would love a beginner tutorial on 360 photos, because the stitch line on photos are as bad as on videos on my camera. Really love your videos, you are very good at teaching as well as very knowledgeable👍 Thank you so much for your guidance! Best regards, Ken from Finland
@@kenspaceman3938 Thank you very much Ken! The wireless viewing mode is just a preview, intended to let you decide whether to download the video to your phone. On my Samsung S10, the video jolts every 5 seconds or so. For the stitch line on photos, try to click on optimize stitching. BTW how far away are the objects that have stitching problems?
Mick, I have tried clicking the optimize button but it didn’t help minimizing the stitch line on the floor. I have had the camera on a fully extended Insta360 invisible stick.
QQ: Does the app export 360 video at lower max res than using the PC software instead? Is this documented anywhere? Sorry if I missed this in your videos, and thanks for all your great work.

This is the best quality I got out of insta 360 by using a cinemascope aspect ratio to get the maximum pixels in the frame. Also kept the ISO to minimum to reduce any digital noise.

Another great video Mic. I am glad you mentioned audio quality. It is the one factor that consistently causes me to move to something else. The hollow sound, wind noise muted sound are some of the most distracting factors for sound
Thanks buddy! I was one of the people who underestimated the importance of audio quality. I learned the hard way that audio quality is actually essential. :)
Please offer us your commentary on the red spot which floats around your head like a mosquito at some points in this video. I presume it's related to a sun flare in some way, but different due to this being a 360 camera. Have you discovered an tips to avoid its appearance and/or ways to get rid of it when it appears in your video? Thanks! Your series is excellent. Thanks for sharing all the advice.
Thanks Home3D! The red spot is a type of glare. It is present in some cameras such as the Theta V. There is no easy way to remove it other than to choose a camera that doesn't have it. Cameras that don't have it include the GoPro Fusion and Theta Z1.
Wow, I was WONDERING why my videos were coming out with artifacts after color grading! Will try out "Supurb" export next time. I originally didn't even understand why there was an option above "Original", as that is assumed to always be the highest quality...or at least I thought so!
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks Virtual Japan! I hope you get fewer artifacts with Superb. The other way is to use Premiere no stitch workflow. That will also reduce compression.
360Rumors unfortunately I don’t have the pricy Adobe subscription. If only Davinci Resolve had the same plugin :’(
@@VIRTUALJAPAN well we have one hope - insta360 said they are adding an editor to insta360 studio. it's taking a long time but i hope to see it. i believe it will allow no-stitch editing.
360Rumors hmm the only editing related feature I want in studio is being able to set time lapses like on mobile. I really hope they don’t waste their time on trying to add in too many editing options to studio. Personally I’d rather them not even focus on making their own stand alone editor at all really. Just focus on making plugins for resolve and premier, with 360 specific features. I’m thinking something similar to what Borris FX does, but by Insta360 for 360
@@VIRTUALJAPAN they said they will add the hyperlapse feature to insta360 studio. i don't know why it's taking them so long to do it though haha

Hello, talking about real estate video tour, wich config would be the best ? thanks in advance.

I've owned it for weeks. Thanks man, great job. Can you make a video what Windows Laptop I should buy? My current setup is not powerful enough and I don't want to import in smaller resolutions in order to edit. I want to edit in 4K right away.
Thanks Paul! TBH the best way is to get a desktop. The reason is that you can upgrade the graphics card more easily. Actually I will have a video about doing that in the future. Whether you use desktop or laptop, for editing in 4K I recommend getting a PC with the best CPU you can afford, and with a GTX 1650 or GTX 1050 Ti or better graphics card. BTW as a bonus, your pc will be VR-ready!

Insta360 Studio 2019 just prompted me to download Insta360 Studio 2020. It doesn't replace Studio 2019, but installs alongside it. I can't seem to find anything on the new version online. The main difference I'm seeing is that it now adds "Chromatic calibration" under "stitching calibration", and on export, they've grouped ColorPlus and "remove grain" into an "AI effects" category where you can choose either "Remove grain (night)" or "ColorPlus (day)".
What has be puzzled, though, is that when exporting freecapture video, in Studio 2019 the default bitrate was for 1080p, h264 video was 18Mbps; in Studio 2020, the default is 75 Mbps. The original Insta360 files are 49Mbps per lens, so roughly 100Mbps for 360º video (correct my if I'm wrong), so this new default 70Mbps bitrate for 1080p overcapture videos seems kind of pointless. Could it be accomodating changes/higher bitrates for the One R?
Here in Spain we're in hard lockdown because of the whole COVID-19 business, so I'm not even aloud to leave the house and will tinker around with these settings a bit to see if there are any noticeable quality differences, but was wondering if anyone else had come across this and what your take on it is. Stay safe and thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Hey there Trav! I can understand the difficulty with lockdown. In Los Angeles we are locked down too. About Insta360 Studio, if you have the Studio 2020, you won't need 2019. Re bitrate, I think it does make a difference but I haven't tested yet.

How many hrs does the 128gb holds in the insta 360 1x video mode? Thanks
Hi Ma En. 128gb is about 160 mins of 5.7k video. The battery records only 60 mins so you need a usb charger or spare battery.
dumb question incoming - if you have the camera attached to a monopod, isn't the stitch line *always* facing you (or at least running down your arm)? What tips do you have for adjusting position to help with that?
Hi Mr. Klaw. Good question. It's ok if you can *see* the side of the camera. The problem is only when you are directly along the stitch line. Imagine there is a giant 6-foot wide flat disc that runs along the stitch line. If that disc is going to hit you or your subject, then you're in the stitch line. Change the angle of camera so that the disc doesn't hit anyone or anything important. Does that clarify? Pls. let me know if you have any questions!
360Rumors thanks so holding at your side like your example videos is enough?

I have one question about insta360 one x:
Can you use it with dive case outside of water for longer period of time, will it overheat?
Thanks Jawenw3HL! Re the dive case, I have used it above water and it hasn't overheated, but I haven't tried it in very hot weather yet like a sunny tropical beach. I think it will indeed increase the temperature, so I would only use it when I'm planning to swim. If I'm not planning to swim, I wouldn't use it in hot weather.

In terms of quality, what has always intrigued me is the question in which areas of a resulting picture the quality is highest or lowest, as in some areas the pixels will be 'stretched' more than in other areas. (very likely with a different answer for any of the warping modes). I would be grateful for any relevant information. Anything you can share?
And what practical rules of thumb for filming for highest quality do follow from this knowledge?
I have not been succesfull finding any info on that, apart from my general knowledge about lenses and projections. But what I do not know is which design or warping choices were made in e.g. specifically my insta360 one x and how do they work out.
Hi Chris! Great question. Just like other lenses, the best quality is usually in the middle area of the lens. And yes the projection will have an impact on image quality. Rectilinear can stretch at the edges more than fisheye, but more important than that is not to zoom in too much. For shooting, this means you usually have to be close to the subject to get good detail without having to zoom. I hope this helps! 😀
@@360vroomers yes that figures, I am ( a little) in image processing business myself so I am quite aware of the options, and I can second guess what happens somewhat. Still there quite a few options left for them to choose from. I just wondered what they exactly do, or what is exactly their resulting resolution mapping after doing all their optimizations. But your assessment is probably a good first rule of thumb: just try to have your main subject in the middle of any of the 2 lenses. Another reason to try to stay away from the stitching lines where possible.
I also quickly learned to not stretch it too much with zooming and just enjoy the image in its entirety where possible.
Still, if we would know the exact details of the pixel area mapping over the whole picture in each mode (including all their smart tricks) we could further squeeze more quality out of this in post.
Best would be to find a smart test set-up to find out.
Thanks for your swift reply and your very informative vids!
@@cbaten2 Thanks Chris. With equirectangular format, the highest quality portion of the file is the zenith and nadir. This is not optimal, which is why there is a push toward cubemap projection with more evenly distributed pixels. but i don't think that is happening anytime soon.
@@360vroomers Wel maybe they already move back and forth between Equirect. and cubemaps for applying scaling, blurring or sharpening etc. in the less distorted Cubemap projection realm before returning to the equirect. projection.
In fact that is what we even could do manually; go from untouched (raw) equirect to cubemap proj. (using any of a few freely available tools), optimize picture quality in Photoshop/Lightroom/Nik (or video in Premiere) and then go back `to equirectangular and then use the insta360 software (or the fusion-VR Reframe plugin) for building the story.
So far pure theoretical advantage, I have no clue whether that would be delivering noticeable improvement in the case of the one x and/or whether this is worth the trouble.
I am going for some underwater reef shots soon. If there is one that I like really much, I might give it a go and see whther this is of any use.
Intriguing and possibly even useful. in an optimal workflow.

you said for minimum glare to put the sun at the stitch line but wouldnt that then put you in the same line?
Hi Wheelz. Sometimes yes you'll end up in the stitch line. So you need to find the best position based on stitching and glare. For example, if avoiding glare means you'll be in the stitch line, perhaps you could move to a position where you won't be in the stitch line.
Excellent video. Loved the other 360 shout outs
Thanks Theo! I'll include a link to those videos asap!
Hey Mic,
I filmed most of my recent trip to the US with my Insta360 One X and got an Oculus Go. When I view (unedited) movies in Insta360 VR, many of them are wobbly if there is movement like when I’m walking. For instance, mountains in the background seem to ripple a bit.
Is there something I should change when recording? I used 5.7K30 in log mode (the app does not seem to apply a LUT 😔). Or should I do something in post or in the Oculus?
This combo does have me exited so far but I expect it can be improved.
Hi Bennie. It's hard to say without seeing your video. The rippling in the mountains could be the stitch line for example (see tip #1).
@@360vroomers That's possible, I checked the footage on my iPad and the effect is present though not as visible.

Any rumours on the Drifter? It seems currently unavailable, will it come back improved?
Thanks barattolo. I think they've canceled the Drifter. I saw a new version at CES 2019 and it was partially made of rubber. But it's been so long that I have doubts that they will ever release it, possibly due to the criticisms they've gotten from naysayers.

@@LAncreetlesVoiles hi Ivan. Sure i am happy to help you. For hdr video you dont need to do anything different. Just stitch like normal video. For hdr photo, you need hdr software. The best one i found is photomatix. They have a trial version. If you want a 15% discount, use the code 360rumors. 😀

Is export from Desktop App better than exporting from the phone app?
Hi sunche. In theory yes you can get a little better quality when you export from desktop. But in the real world, most people can’t tell the difference.
Is laptop configurations affect export video quality ❓ I feel such , law export quality, using one x2 and insta360 studio on Asus tuf gaming16gm ram, 4gb grafic RTX, razon 7
I create Movie in 5.7K but when i download to iOS app or to MacBook iMovie then I have always fullHD quality but not 5.7K, how to solve this problem ?
Hi Konrado. Are you converting it to a non360 video? If you do, then the 5.7k will become 1080p.
Great channel, Mick! Just got my Insta360 One X two days ago and am still on the basics, so the first thing I've done has been to subscribe to your channel! ;)
Great tips overall! About avoiding the sticht lines, there's something I didn't fully understand about your fan example: Which part of the camera do you consider to be the fan? Logic would dictate that I want the lens aiming towards myself/my subject, and to avoid having the sides/bottom/top of the camera facing towards them. Is that correct? Thanks!
Thanks Trav! Congrats on getting the One X and getting into 360! :D I'm working on more tutorials.
Re the fan analogy, the side of the camera with the lens is analogous to the front or back of the giant electric fan. The stitch line is analogous to the sharp edge of the blades of the giant electric fan. Maybe electric fan is confusing. We can say circular buzzsaw instead but that sounds morbid :)
@@360vroomers thanks! OK, now I get it! The fan analogy was about not getting hit by the blades... For some reason I was thinking "not get hit by the airflow",which honestly, didn't make much sense... You're right, the circular buzzsaw makes for an excellent example, but sounds a bit too Tarantino... 😂
@@travsformation1 lol remember to avoid the flying buzzsaw!!!
I do all my Insta360oneX editing in my IPhone 7. It looks great on my phone but when I upload to TH-cam the quality seems get blurry. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Full Cyrcle. When you edit the One X on your phone, 360 videos are downconverted into 4K. That's one possibility. If you're posting your 360 video as a non-360 freecapture / overcapture / fixframe video, then you will not lose detail, although you don't have control over the bitrate. Another possibility is that you may be seeing motion blur which is more visible on youtube if you're viewing on a larger screen.
Valuable info that would take more than a little while to learn by trial and error.
Thanks Steve! Glad you found it useful!
Premier no stitch work flow, high speed recording HDR vid low light, Got it! I just have to find that LUT. Also didn't know the "Tiny Planet MAN" talks about 360 vid. Q: Tonight is fireworks ,and I want to send my 0ne X up on my drone best settings to slow it down? Oh and happy fathers day .
Hey there buddy! Good to see you! Re LUT here it is: static.insta360.com/software/ONEX/LUT/ONE-X-LUT-Final-V1.0.0.cube
Or you can try one of the LUTs in premiere. For fireworks with a drone, I've never done it but I would use the Shutter: Fast setting or maybe if you will move around a lot, you can set shutter speed to 1/125 or higher. I recommend testing it first if possible...
nice vid, is the built in mic good enough for capturing ambient sounds like waves and birds or should I still get a external solution?
Thanks Shawn! I think it's fine. You could try it out and if it is not good enough for your purposes, you could use an external microphone separately.
When I shoot 5.7k & then render a 2D video, what is the highest video resolution I should use? Is there a difference if I zoom way out or in? Thx.
Great questions FPV. When rendering as non360 the optimum resolution varies depending on how much you are zoomed in. At the default zoom level, you can use 1080p. If you zoom out to 180deg view then technically it has 4k of detail so if you use a wide view like that you can use 3840x2160 (But with a tiny planet projection, the center part will be very detailed while the outer part of the planet would have much less detail.) I hope this helps!
@@360vroomers Helps a bit, thanks!
Let me know if you have any other qs buddy!
@@360vroomers Is there any way to measure the pixels in a video at different stages of the video? To be able to see the difference between a section with tiny planet & a super zoom part, for example.
There is an indirect way to do it. Use Premiere adaptive high bitrate on export and compare the bitrates at various zoom levels.
Nice tips. Are there any plugins etc for for working with Insta 360 One X files in Davinci Resolve?
Thanks buddy! Sorry there are no insta360 one x plugins for any software besides Premiere / After effects. fwiw, insta360 does have a LUT for one x that should work in davinci resolve.
@@360vroomers ok thanks! I'm planning on getting one of these but I'm a Resolve user. Can I still get 5.7K or 4K resolution output at the highest bitrate from the mobile app?
Yes you can! I recommend downloading some sample files, stitching them and then importing them to Resolve to try it out. Alternatively, you can use Garmin Virb Edit, which can edit 5.7K video if your PC or Mac is powerful enough. Here are sample files to try (scroll down a bit): 360rumors.com/insta360-one-x-review/#download
@@360vroomers Thanks again for the info, I really appreciate it! Last question, I promise, LOL
Is the 5.7K output stitched in the mobile app as well or must that be done on a computer to get 5.7k output?
@@theadventurebiker No worries man, keep the questions coming! Re 5.7k, it can only be done on desktop. On the smartphone your 5.7k will be stitched as 4k. BUT if you export your 5.7k video as a freecapture / fixframe non360 video in the smartphone app, then you can get the full resolution in 1080p (it will be just as detailed when stitched on the phone as when stitched on a desktop). I hope that helps.
Great work Nick

Hello everyone>
I have been having issues when I try to facebook live with this camera.
When I try to stream live using the 360 live option The feed looks good as longest I do not move around, if I do it looks horribly pixelated and choppy.
if I stream live using the other option live it looks fine.
(setting is 5.7 30FPS all Auto)
I been using my old Samsung 360 and I do not have the same issue, actually, it looks better.
Anyone knows why is this happening?
please let me know if this is a setting or what do I need to do.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 9
thanks
Great video, very informative,
Hi Henry. If it becomes pixelated usually it is a bandwidth issue. Try a livestream with a strong and fast internet connection. I think you will see an improvement.
@@360vroomers Thank you for your tip. but it was not the Wifi, it was a setting on the shutter speed that made it pixelated, it got fixed by updating the firmware.
If I might give my humble and untrained opinion, The 360 One X did not impress me much, except for the quality of Video, I really wanted to love it but comes short for the way I use cams. I have a Samsung Gear 360 (old cheapy one)that is superior in almost every way, like the ease of use, connectivity to live streaming sites, the app is better for shooting, better interaction with a PC, build, quality of material, etc.
If Samsung ever decides to return to the 360 Arena and up their video quality, I think the 360 One X would be left behind.
Good luck sir and keep the good work.
Thanks
This takes care of most of my complaints about this camera, the only other big one is charging a second battery, it must be done with their 120v to USB adapter anything else never finishes charging even some really powerful chargers. And the micro-USB port instead of type C
Thanks Kacey! The key for the charger is to have one with high amperage. I forget whether it needs 2.5A or 3.0A.
@@360vroomers I hooked it up to quite a few 3 Amp units and the lights would go for hours but with no increased percentage, then I hooked the camera itself up to the low power units in the Tesla and it fully charged, on 3 amp it charged even faster. Something is up with that dual charger unit or mine is faulty, and each time it only has one battery because I need to be ready to shoot. At home I'll charge both using their adapter and it still does just fine.
Its cool though after the 7th I'll either have a GoPro Max or a pre-order for something new. The stabilization is off on mine even after multiple calibrations it's way better on the latest firmware and the missed shots from me saving battery for candid shots on my planned shots.
Hopefully the 7th has swappable batteries

Is there a way to re-stitch two clips together that have a different 'front' orientation but the come from the same video. The camera split the video into two clips and at the cut the front orientation is different. I want to maintain the 360 capability for the viewer, not just lock the front orientation.
hi Jenna. Yes to recombine the videos, you'll need a 360 video editor such as Premiere or PowerDirector. Almost all 360 video editors will let you re-orient the video (in Premiere it is called VR Rotate Sphere).
@@360vroomers Thank you. I have Premier and look for that 'effect'.
Can I ask what the best setting are to render or export the video?
And I have one more question if your just adding regular video, if there an affect or setting that allows you to have 'regular' video added to the timeline?
Hi Jenna. you can combine one x videos with non-360 videos. There are two ways to do it: either the one x video is in 360, and then you convert the non-360 video into a 360 video (it will look like a floating screen). Alternatively, you can convert the one x video into an overcapture non-360 video, which can be combined with other regular non-360 videos. here is a tutorial for editing one x videos in premiere: th-cam.com/video/iSPYT_tdobI/w-d-xo.html
How do you get soft transitions in pan and tilt mode when overcapture premiere pro? And have you tried to add sharpening i post to get better result.
Hi Svend! For super smooth transitions, I use bezier curves for keyframes. You can also use auto bezier or continuous bezier but it is not a smooth.
you can also increase the smooth parameter to maximum
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Does FCPX have a non stitch workflow like Premiere?
Thanks buddy! FCP doesnt have a nostitch workflow but fwiw insta360 studio does. See here th-cam.com/video/oF0FnivMjGw/w-d-xo.html
Great tips, but now I really want to get an insta360one :). Hopefully soon
I think it's still a really good camera ... you'll see in my next video :D
Thanks Mic. I really like #3, I never thought to look at the shadow, I always looked at the sun and try to position my camera accordingly, but looking at the shadow makes better sense :). As for #8, I try using a bit rate close to 100Mbps as the target bitrate on premier, as I've heard the higher the better the video will look when exporting with H.264. I am using too high of a bitrate? It definitely takes longer to export as the file size increases a lot.
Hi Viajero360. If you're using Premiere, for H.264 use Adaptive High Bitrate (not High Bitrate). It will automatically choose the best bitrate for your content.
Thank you very much Mic, never knew about that. However, I can't use it as the ambisonic audio is converted to stereo. I usually use VR monoscopic match source ambisonic. But from now on will copy the bitrate that is suggest when choosing adaptive high bitrate onto VR monoscopic. Thanks again
Thanks buddy! Looking forward to your video!
Hey Mic, do these techniques also help for the qoocam 8K? The stiched qoocam footage looks quite soft to me.

When you edit in the phone app will it always export at 4k instead of 5.7k?
I think editing in viewfinder on the phone is the easiest using the phone gyroscope instead of keyframing as it looks more natural.
Is there a way to edit in the phone app, then export it into FCPX or Premiere Pro so it is still 5.7k? This way we can have 1080p footage as we look around the screen.
Thanks Stephen! Viewfinder does look more natural. Viewfinder mode and keyframing each have their own advantages and uses. Re editing in phone app, if you export as 360 it is limited to 4k. But if you use freecapture then it will use the full 5.7k before converting to 1080 reframed video.
Ok thanks, so if I use viewfinder can I save it as a 1080p video even from the phone app?
Will the phone app set the bitrate automatically at about 15-20 Mbps for the 1080p to keep good quality?

Using the OneX, and wanting to use Premiere Pro 2019 (I have the full Adobe Suite), but can't find the plugin anywhere. When I install Insta Studio 2019, I have the box checked for the plugin, but it's no where to be found. Pull down "Window" dropdown menu > Extensions and only see my Vimeo plugin. Please... so important... where is this plug in, how to get it into Premiere Pro? Thanks so much. I've been following you since "you had me buy the Insta360 One" several years ago. The X is a big jump up, for those who don't want to drop $5K into the Pro.
Thanks Aram! There is actually no extension for insta360. Instead, when the plugin is installed, you'll simply find that you can open insp and insv files in Premiere. If you cannot do that, reinstall Studio 2019 again, but this time make sure that Premiere is closed when you install studio. Worst case scenario, you may have to reinstall Premiere, then GoPro VR plugins, then Studio 2019, in that order.

1080 is not good quality video!! The main downfall with the Insta cameras is the compromised video resolution output. The current trend is 4K. Rendered Insta videos are at best noisy 1080p... which is a pity as the concept is good.
If you want high quality video, then even a smart phone will provide better quality than a consumer 360 camera. The purpose of a 360 camera is completely different - 3rd person view, invisible flying camera effect, shoot without aiming, super stabilization. Those are the benefits of 360. If resolution is more important than those benefits, use a non-360 camera. For situations where those benefits are more important, use a 360 camera.
@@360vroomers I think the 360 camera "era" is in its infancy... still a mere novelty. Hopefully it will mature. The issue is that at this stage one cannot shoot in 4K as the main resolution and insert Insta footage without seeing the huge difference... Regards!
@@TheJWC56RSA many people thought 360 was a novelty back in 2017. By 2019, enough people understood that it was useful for the invisible flying camera effect etc. The detail is lower but people know it is better for wider shots. It is similar to using a rectilinear ultrawide or a fisheye. You use it to achieve a certain look. But you don't use it as a do-everything lens.
In fact, professional studios have been incorporating 360 cameras for their videos. AC/DC recently shot an entire music video using 360 cameras for NON-360 video.
360 cameras are unique creative tools. It is our job as creators to know when and how to use them, and when not to.
Can you explain how to set up a zoom h3 with Insta one X for live stream

For vlogging, I use the Rode Wireless Go with Insta360 One R, Insta360 One X2, or Qoocam 8K. Unfortunately the One X has no mic input.
Or if i am riding mountain bike in the forest?
Yes back bar would work for mountain bike
Is it me or Insta 360 look like a bit faded in colour?
Hi Richard. In this video, I used HDR Video mode, which can look more flat than regular mode. If you prefer the normal look, you can increase contrast in your preferred video editor.
I've seen some of your videos and liked it, but this one...
You give best techniques how to get best video quality, but this video quality itself is so bad (worse than your other videos) and even selfie stick is visible :/
EDIT: OK, it might've been YT glitch not giving me best quality, but still... You talk about reducing lense flare, but there is one through all the video
Hi Cronus. Thanks for your feedback. I used the same workflow that I used for my other videos... The selfie stick tripod is visible because sometimes I left the tripod legs open. As for the red dot glare, I can't eliminate it. I'm only talking about the glare that looks like reduced contrast or the one that looks like uneven exposure.
👍🏻🙌🏻
Thank you very much Frigate Chaser Fishing! :D
FALSE ADVERTISING: The Insta 360 X2 can fail underwater with all compartments sealed. Water got into my camera through the lens housing. It was only a couple weeks old and now has a permanent fogged lens, but still runs. USELESS. Before that happened, the memory card it came with stopped being recognized. Their customer support is giving me the runaround. Buyer beware
the picture quality is horrible in your video - makes me wonder whether I can trust because your picture quality is not that good
Hi Muhammad. Thanks for the feedback. This is a 360 camera so the 5.7k resolution is spread out over 360 degrees. A typical smartphone will have more pixels per degree and better image quality. The reason to shoot 360 is not image quality but the 3rd person view and ability for reframe.
