@@fevels yes i did, just for a day. i didn't see so many significant things for 360 to be honest. insta360, vuze, and kodak pixpro had very large booths. but i did get some useful info, i just can't talk about them yet :)
You are using Mac ? as the windows version is beta and wont recognise the insv files . have to put files in the non beta software first to convert to mp4 so by the time i can use the non beta version the files are not insv
@@realstreetuk hey there realstreetuk! i was using pc but i have a mac too and i've tested that it works on both versions. Just make sure to install version 3.2.1 or later, not 3.1.2. Let me know if it works for you.
Love that you have the Hero 7, One X, and Pocket Osmo all going at once! Funny story, I was snowboarding today and had my One (not the X- want at least the Venture case before I use it -waiting almost 3 months now) so, I had the One and I was holding it behind me when another snowboarder gets my attention and politely lets me know that I am not getting any good video because my camera is pointing away. I yelled back that I am actually getting EVERYTHING because it is a 360 camera and it literally catches everything and that later I can choose what I want in editing! He seemed impressed. It was amusing!
I was tempted to go fetch my iPhone and show the video to him but I was getting ready to head back home. Ziplining, I have shown it to guides and guests and wowed them with it.
I just really thought it was funny that he didn't think I was getting any video and the reality couldn't have been more completely the opposite! A person could not have been more wrong about something-but I was nice about it! I'm always waiting for people to ask about the camera since it is obviously not a GoPro. Actually, another funny thing about today, I had the pole strapped across my chest and the guy running the lift said at first glance it looked like I had a torque wrench and he was wondering what I was going to torque!
my camera is here and this was super helpful to understand how studio software works. Doing tomorrow my behind the scenes shooting with the client and will try to record sound on zoom. See if I can properly stitch it after with FCPX.
Hey there A-Fotografy! Congrats on getting the One X! For FCPX, you have to stitch the video first in Insta360 Studio 2019. Here are some tips on getting the best quality from the One X th-cam.com/video/D5_dGNk8a6E/w-d-xo.html
Just got an insta360 one x for an upcoming trip to a Disney World and cruise. I saw your footage at Disney and wondered what you use to hold the camera in the parks since they don’t allow selfie sticks. I’ve learned a lot from your videos and appreciate your advice! Look forward to your reply. Thanks!
Thanks scinnamon3! Sounds like an exciting trip! Perfect for using the One X! Yes you are right about the rule about selfie sticks. For rides I just hold the One X. If you're wary of dropping it, you can get a D-ring and wrist strap. Walking around the park, I use a monopod with tripod legs, which falls under their definition of a tripod, such as the monoshot monoshot.co/ . Be careful not to extend it to its maximum length or you might attract security's attention.
Thanks Ezra! Sorry for the delayed reply. I just saw your comment now. I have some more tutorials planned - stay tuned. My next one will have techniques that can be used on One X.
Thank you so much for all your hard work! Your teaching skills are awesome! You really make complicated subject matter simple and easy to understand, I have learned so much from your videos for my Insta 360 One X.
Seems like edit, keyframes and else are saved into the original insv file, and not as a separate satellite file. To make several edits of the same file, you need to duplicate the Gigabyte size original. Maybe in a next update we shall have a separate file for the edit, like save the project...
first tutorial on insta studio, clear, great. My first 2 test videos were edited in 20 an 10 minutes !!!! thanks !!!!!!!!!!!! great soft and perfect tuto, really, it is easy to understand , immediat sub :))
I just shot a timelapse with my Insta360 One X. Now I have loaded those individual frames (*.insp file format) into Insta360 Studio 2019. So far I can find no way to combine them into a single video. Is there a manual on how this editor works? (I've found no help on the web site.) Thanks for a great channel.
Hi Robert. There are two time lapse modes. The time lapse photo will shoot individual photos, and you'll need to combine them into a video using Premiere or other video editors. The much easier way is time lapse video, which will create a video for you (it creates one video file, similar to a regular one x video). To use time lapse video, switch to video mode, and then hold down the shutter to toggle the sub-mode to time lapse. Use settings to change the interval. Easy as pie! I'll create a comprehensive tutorial for one x
hi Michael! It can work if you can export the Max 360 video in H.264 or H.265. Right now, that is possible only with the Mac app (or the phone app). The PC version of MAX exporter can only export in cineform so far, which is incompatible with insta360 studio. Hopefully Max exporter will add h264 and h265 soon!
@@360vroomershanks for your nice tutorial. In this new Insta360 Studio desktop app I have been searching for the "follow object"- feature, similar to that in the smartphone app. However I didn't find it. Is this feature still not available in the desktop app?
Nice one Mic, I have to consider how relevant my Premier Pro subscription is. I have to agree with you totally in the workflow point of view. The speed that it takes to get the footage from camera to end product is key. We want to be spending our time shooting viewing and sharing, not editing. Insta360 and the OneX just nails this.
Yes insta360 one x's workflow is probably the best at the moment. It is possible to do without premiere pro, if you are willing to do a 2-step editing process: create overcapture videos, then edit the overcapture videos in another video editor. FWIW insta360 promised that we will be able to create montages. but I'm not sure if they mean the smartphone app or studio or both.
hi,i have the insta one x software 3.1.2,but didn't have or i can't make any reframe or any features like yours.i can just import choose a point of view,(all the option on right )i have an insta360 one x,please can you help thanks
@@360vroomers thx guys all is right,last thing,you know from 3 years I use an excellent software for 360 his name is powerdirector,and I use it until now and is more complete for editing 360 footage
after you've created your free capture/keyframes/cuts/pans/whatever and export the file. Can you then import it into Premiere Pro for color correction and further tweaking? Have done any tutorials on an extended workflow involving Premiere Pro?
Hi Checkered Flag. Yes can import the overcapture footage into Premiere and edit just like any conventional non-360 video. In fact, for Premiere, you can import the unstitched file directly and do the overcapture keyframing within Premiere. Here is a tutorial: th-cam.com/video/iSPYT_tdobI/w-d-xo.html Let me know if you have any questions!
I appreciate your great videos and have a question. Does the desktop editing suite have the same ability to change speeds, as well as having a "tracking" key frame, similar to the phone app? Thanks again and keep the vids coming!!!
Thanks Dustin! Great questions. Re changing speeds, which insta calls timeshift, i believe insta will add it to the desktop app in the future. for now i just do hyperlapse sequences on my phone then import the hyperlapse videos to my desktop. Tracking is a feature that i haven't seen on a 360 camera desktop app. I'm not sure if it's harder to program on a desktop or what, so i don't know if that feature will be added to the Studio app or not. It is possible to do it in After Effects, although it is quite complicated. Powerdirector also has some 360 tracking capability although it is used for titles, instead of panning the camera
Amazing tutorial, thank you! In your video, you mention that the side of the camera where you change the camera settings is the front of the camera and to aim that side at your subject. If both lenses capture a 180 degree field-of-view, what difference does it make as to which lens is pointed toward the subject? Thanks!
Hi SpectraLight. If you point the front of the camera at the subject, then you can use direction lock and it will show the subject without you having to use keyframing.
@@360vroomers OK. I didn't know if there was a stitching issue that would be more apparent with the back of the camera facing the subject so you eliminated that concern.
Thanks Andrea! Actually, the prerelease version of Studio didn't have the "none" transition. I talked to insta360 and they thought it wasn't necessary but im glad in the end they agreed to add it.
Thanks for the tutorial. Glad Insta360 released this edition of the studio app, and add the reframing feature that was missing from 3.1.2. Makes the workflow much easier to grasp for beginners IMHO. Your video makes all the key fundamental concept for exporting a successful overcaptured video easy to understand. I still have to figure out how to load multiple footages on the timeline though for editing and outputting a single video. Should be easy as dragging onto the timeline but for some reason, I can't figure out this simple step. Hah... back into the application to figure it out.
Thanks David! Re loading multiple videos into the timeline, the current version of Studio doesn't do that yet. Insta360 has said that they will add that feature, but they didn't say if it will be in the smartphone app or desktop app or both. For now, you'll need a 3rd party 360 video editor to do that, such as Magix, Powerdirector, or Premiere (yes i know it's expensive).
Hallo, thank you for showing us that marvel of Camera and Software. Unfortunately I do not find it, I have recorded, made the settings, the video works in the IPhon Camera Software, but when that Video or Photo I want to export it to Studio 2019 it does not work in any way and only a blue background appears, the left apparently a Photo in jpg.but I can not make any changes, and no video is accepted. If you can help me and say what I'm missing, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.
Thanks Rodolfo. Did you copy all the files into the same folder, and make sure not to rename them? Also the 5.7k videos have 2 files each (with very similar names). Do not delete either file. If you do, the video cannot be opened.
@@360vroomers the videos from mi sphere is mp4. The stitching panel window is un-click-able. i can't do the stabilization and stitcing on apps. the workflow still have to stitch the videos in the android apps than import to insta studio.
@@mashimaru-id Hi Amru. Yes that's right! Mi Sphere must be stitched in its own software. Studio will not stitch Mi Sphere, or add stabilization or change stitching modes. Those are only for Insta360 cameras. Studio can only be used to make overcapture videos with Mi Sphere.
thanks buddy! i wish i could make it as short as possible, but youtube's main criterion for ranking videos is watch time so i have to do my best to keep you guys watching as much as possible, which is actually very very hard to do :) but next time i'll add a table of contents to help you skip ahead :)
Hi Dimitri. Studio won't stitch or stabilize 3rd party cameras, but you can use it for editing. First stitch the Xiaomi Mi Sphere with its own software. Then you can import the stitched video into Insta360 Studio to create a non360 freecapture video with keyframes.
Hi WK. Good question. Just follow the same process as for exporting to 360 video, but in the 360 video, you apply a mask to cover half of the 360 video. Please note that it will be hemispherical, but it won't be 3D unlike most VR180 videos.
Hi Airspeed. I didn't cover color correction in this tutorial, but I recommend stitching the photo then editing it. Or you can edit the unstitched dng first and then stitch with ptgui. those are the options.
Thank you for another great video. My desk top software is very different than yours. Maybe because I am on a mac. I don't seem to have transitions only frame parameters. I also don't see any ratio or custom options. No key frame within a key frame. and of course no speed adj like the camera has. Still waiting for a plug in for FCP. I love the camera and the 360 potential but there is a long ways to go to make the workflow easy and fun on all platforms. You should be able to make a cut in the middle of a long clip.
Thanks Robert. I checked just now and it does have the same options on the Mac version. Pls make sure you downloaded version 3.2.1 not 3.1.2. To change the transitions, click on the line between 2 keyframes. Aspect ratio button is beside the snapshot button. let me know if you have any questions :D
Do you also use a Removu K1? In the video it seems that yes. Can you make a video talking about this camera and why or for what you use it. It seems strange that someone wants a camera with gimbal like the removu or the osmo if it has the 360 that seems to offer a better stabilization and more creative possibilities. Finally, I see that the 360 has a really bad sound, so, is there any possibility of using an external microphone to improve that?
Hi RecursosEnInternet! Yes you are very observant. I do use Removu K1. I will make a video about it and Osmo Pocket, and compare them to One X. As for 360 sound, the problem is not the microphone. the problem is that if you put the camera on a selfie stick, it will be far away from you. So any camera or even microphone that is far away will not sound good. In my case I use Zoom H1N or H2N and then I connect it to a lav microphone. In postprocessing, I sync them. The Zoom H1N and H2N can record for many hours so i don't have to worry about starting and stopping the recording, unless i'm not shooting anymore.
@@360vroomers Thank you for the answer and I look forward to that comparative video. However, I also asked about using the 360 for everything, that is to say, imagine that I am going on a trip... would you take the 360 and some other camera like the removu? and if you answer that if, why? I ask because it seems that the 360 is almost all you need to record videos very stabilized and be even more creative (battery life is a separate issue, of course)
@@recursoseninternet that will be the focus of the video - to answer that question. but if you want to know the short answer basically if i could have only one camera to bring on a trip, i would bring a 360 camera without a doubt. but there are some situations where a non-360 camera is easier to use. for example, i used the k1 because it has a direct microphone input, and it can shoot at higher resolution than what i can get from one x.
I don’t understand all the exporting settings. For TH-cam and Facebook what is the best exporting settings? Is 3820 or 1080 better? Also, what bit rate I see you have 18 but others do 60? Also, h264 or h265? There is a huge black Stitching Line and the video is very blurry. Why? Maybe due to wrong exporting settings? It’s fine in the Desktop Studio App but only happens when it’s exports.
Hey there SteAmy. Is your final video a 360 video or non-360 video? If it is a 360 video then it should be the original resolution of 5760 x 2880. If it is a non360 video, then you can export as 1080. You can export non360 as 3840 x 2160 some higher resolution but there is going to be almost no difference from 1080. Re h264 or h265, use h264 if you will edit it. It will be easier to edit than h265. If you will post it, you can use either one. H264 files are larger while h265 files take up less space. Re huge black stitch line, pls post a link to your video or a screenshot so i know what you mean.
@@360vroomers Thanks for your quick reply!!! Here is a very short clip i just did and it has a stiching line. It does not show up in Insta 360 Studio and only when i export it as a MP4 and view in VLC player or put to TH-cam th-cam.com/video/vZImL2ohWUw/w-d-xo.html Also, when i go to export it automatically tells me 1920x1080 and not as you mentioned 5760x2880....is that wrong? I have been testing the different bit rates to see if it affects the line and it doesnt. Normally what bit rate do i want to use for the different resolutions and should i stick with h264? Thanks in advance!
Does the venture case effect image quality at all? Clarity? Do different lighting conditions cause flares or reflections while using the case? Maybe you can do a video comparing with and without the case and do some crops to compare closely.
Hi there Growing Answers! Great question. I was planning a video except that Insta360 doesn't have the venture case in stock yet. When they do i will post a comparison video. But for now i can send you a sample video. Basically, the stitiching is smooth above water. Under water, the stitching is not smooth. Venture Case does add some glare -- the kind that decreases the contrast of the side that is facing the key light.
Hi K Kam! Yes it does! You can see a demo of it in this video. Here's a more detailed video demo at around 5:58 th-cam.com/video/iSPYT_tdobI/w-d-xo.html

Thanks Harley! For desktop editing, Premiere Pro is the one I use most often but it's pricey. You can't buy it outright. You have to pay each month. A couple of other options: Davinci Resolve: this has a free version and a paid version. No monthly fees. But I find it complicated. Other options are Cyberlink Powerdirector and MAGIX Movie Edit Plus or Premium. I have an older tutorial for magix movie edit pro here th-cam.com/video/RfxQUYTbEHQ/w-d-xo.html

@@HarleyGurl114 anytime! You'll find that at their core, 360 video editing apps have similar features such as switching between equirectangular view and 360 view, rotating the 360 video, and adding text or graphics. When you know those basics, you can learn 360 video editing on other apps quickly 😁
Is there a way to add an mp3 audio file (song, voice overlay, etc.) to a 360 immersive video on the Insta36- Studio for One X? If not, is there a way to do this that you would recommend? I do not have Premier. I have a 360 immersive video idea but would like to add additional audio that what is captured on the One X itself. Thanks for your help!!
Hi there buddy. Insta360 Studio 2019 can't add music. But you can use any video editor that supports 360 video. A free one is Virb Edit (the software for Virb 360). You can add music with that IIRC. Or another free one is Davinci Resolve. It doesn't support 360 video but after rendering the video you can add 360 metadata using the youtube metadata injector tool.
@@360vroomers Thank you for the recommendation! I'll start with Virb Edit to see what I can work with. I just tried uploading the .insv file into the Virb Edit app (Mac) and it will not recognize the file. Do you know if Virb Edit will work with .insv or will the files need to be edited to work on the Virb Edit app (Mac version)? If if needs to be edited to a different format, how do you recommend uploading the .insv file in the Virb Edit app?

Hi CG Films. If you want to transfer the file to Oculus Go, then copy the files to the Movies folder, and rename the files with suffix _360.mp4 for example test_360.mp4. This is how Oculus Go will know it is a 360 file. Then view the file in Oculus Gallery, under internal storage. I hope this helps.

Hi ReplayActionSports! Yes you can. In Insta360 Studio, select the equirectangular format, then click on the Snapshot button. You can upload that equirectangular framegrab to sites such as Kuula, where it will be shown in 360. Some sites such as Facebook require you to add 360 metadata.

I just have a (maybe) stupid question: As an architect I am used to work on a desktop (Mac) and therefore I prefer the Insta360 Studio instead of the Apps on iPad or iPhone. Here's my question: Where can I find the functions in the desktop program (Insta360 Studio) to speed up a video sequence or place a frame in frame view as I can do quite easily on the Apps? I spend already a lot of time googeling this task, did not find any answers unfortunately ..maybe you can tell me where these functions are or if this is just not possible on the desktop program? Thanks a lot for your answer in advance & cheers from Berne (Switzerland) - Thomas
So what is the advantage of using this desktop software over just doing it on my iphone? It seems like it would take a heck of a lot less time just using the viewfinder tool on the app.
Great question Aaron! For single videos, it is indeed faster to use the phone, and viewfinder is very convenient. But when I have many videos, I use the desktop because I don't want to clog up my phone storage. I also want to archive my photos and videos. I can also batch export on the desktop.
@@360vroomers That makes sense on both the storage and the time front. After I returned from my vacation Thursday evening, I spent about 10 hours or so creating/editing shots I had gotten on my One X while away. And all of files are on my iPhone now taking up about 120 gigs. You can see my final video here where I used them (along with shots I got with the other 5 cameras I took :) ) vimeo.com/315150806
wow what an amazing video! would you like me to share it on facebook / 360rumors.com? i think it could inspire a lot of people. (yes i understand not all of the shots were from one x). so if i understand correctly, you downloaded one x videos to your phone to reframe them and then exported the reframed videos to your desktop? for videos of that size i really prefer desktop editing because i think it is easier to synchronize the panning with the music.
Hi Mic, nice vid as always. I'm using insta360 one x studio to overcapture my fusion mp4 videos. I have two questions. First when exporting a video, the bitrate is set 18 Mbps by default. Should i leave it as it is or i have to chose higher bitrate? And second, when i chose to export freecapture 3840 x2160 (because this is the resolution of my mp4 rendered fusion clips) do i really get this resolution, or just a larger video file with the same quality as if i was exporting 1080?
Thanks buddy! The default bit rate is the original bitrate. If you choose a higher bitrate, it won't really improve the image quality. Similarly, for the resolution 1080 is the normal resolution because even if the video is 5.7K, you're only viewing a small portion of it. This is true also for the Fusion. What software are you using for your video editing? If you're using Premiere, you could create a 1080p sequence and then import videos from Fusion and Insta360 (even if higher than 1080p). When you apply the GoPro VR Reframe effect, the videos will automatically be reframed and resized to match the 1080p video. I hope that helps! BTW if you're using Premiere, you don't have to stitch Insta360. Premiere can import insv and insp files. :)
@@360vroomers Thanks for the reply. You're more than helpful. Also I'm editing mostly on Premier, didn't knew that can import insv files directly, so i'll try it next time. Thanks again, keep up the good work!
Hello @360Rumors, I have a Xiami misphere. I am not able to edit any of my files in InstaOne. I already stitch all pictures using the MiSphere APP but It does not work in Instaone. I am trying to edit my pictures and create videos with them but I cannot. Do you know how to address this problem? Do you have any suggestion of videos? Ps: I already watched your videos about Misphere. thanks a lot
Hi Otavio. Thanks for watching my Mi Sphere tutorials and this video. Insta360 Studio cannot convert photos into videos, with any camera even insta360 one x. If you really want to, you can use a 3rd party software to make a 360 video out of your photos first (e.g. 360 slide show), then import that video into Insta360 Studio.
Thanks Explore More. Right now, Insta360 Studio doesn't have this capability yet. Instead I would create the overcapture video in studio first, then use other video editors (even a free one) to remove unneeded segments or add music, titles etc.
Very cool! Thanks! I downloaded this last night and was impressed. You had a clip with the hyperlapse but I can not find any speed controls in the software. Did I miss something? Also, have you heard anything about the adventure case being available sometime soon? Thanks again!
Thanks Jeff! A future version "may" have hyperlapse ;) but for now you can load the overcapture video into a video editor such as premiere and increase the speed. Or you can use the insta360 one x phone app, which is what i used for that clip in this video
@@360vroomers I hope a future version has it. Was surprised to not see it. As for my phone it does not have enough room on my internal card to both download the video and export.

I get a bunch of keyframes jumping around when I edit videos longer than a few minutes. I was wondering if anyone else had this happen and knows a workaround
@@360vroomers The playback seems fine, but this has been happening to every file I want to edit. I think it's a bug in studio.

Just as a follow up to this, I contacted insta360 about this and they said it's a known bug in 3.3.4 and it will be fixed in the next version. I'm currently using an older version 3.3.3, which handles the keyframes better
Hi Art! Sure! One X takes great 360 photos. You can even use HDR or Raw DNG. Just press the mode button to switch to photo mode, press the shutter to take the photo (yes it can use self timer) or use your phone to trigger it wirelessly. After taking your photos, you can export them on your phone or the studio desktop app. The desktop app can do batch exporting. I hope that helps! Pls let me know if you have any questions
Hi benzsg99 SG99. The tricky part is that Insta360 Studio can only view mp4 files, while Fusion can export mp4 but only up to 4K (at 5K and above, it uses cineform or prores, which are not supported in insta360 studio). For now, the only way is to use 4K and ensure that you export as mp4.
Nice video and tuto. By the way, we had a glimpse on a gimbal in your left hand at the end, and I wonder what gizmo is that, with a sperical cam on a 3D gimbal, a small screen. A new gizmo, an osmo pocket plus ? or a secret !
@@szymonlipinski3477 oh ok yes thats right. What you can do is stop recording, change direction and restart recording. I will show this in my upcoming tutorial
I was just wondering..how you are doing these excellent videos with the set up..like camera you are recording..software that you are able to present with your video at the same time and clear voice..am trying to start, hopefully, Motorbike Vlogging, so thought to ask you.. if it is confidential somehow..it is OK.. on another note..your blue shirt is very nice..😀.. anything I can help with yo support the channel and expand other than referrals..let me know..👍😀
Sorry Mic, I know it is not your challenge but you are very expert all I cannot use the camera as it doesn't want to connect to my phone and the serial number on the camera even is wrong. So you know why its this and how to fix it. Have been in this fire the last 2 days. Thnx a lot
@@ibrahimdiaa8872 Hi Ibrahim. Sorry I just saw your reply now. I use different cameras. My main camera is a Samsung NX1, which is no longer being produced. The software I use is Premiere. But you can also use something like powerdirector. Thank you very much for your support!
Hi GAproductions! The stabilization modes and stitching modes only work for Insta360 cameras. But you can still use the keyframing for samsung gear 360.
Hi McKay. Yes there are several but they all have a cost. Metareal might be the most affordable alternative 360rumors.com/2018/08/create-true-3d-virtual-tours-using-360-photos-metareal-stage.html . but it is totally manual
Thanks 360 id! Yes it works with Mi Sphere! I've tried it :D Just stitch the video in mi sphere app with stabilization. Then import into insta360 studio. :D
It can if you render to 4K. Insta360 Studio handles 5.7K but the problem is that Fusion Studio only renders 5.7K video in Prores or Cineform, which are not supported in Insta360 Studio. In H.264, the maximum reso for Fusion Studio is 4K
@@acdcbc9090 hmm i tried a 4K fusion file just now and it loaded but there was an error something about file is corrupted. i can look around in 360, but it doesnt look like the file is playing. i'll try to investigate. fwiw i've tried with mi sphere and orbit360 and they loaded fine
Mic, great video like all of your other tutorials! I want to try this but I can't. I've been using the Insta360 Studio for One X (Beta) for a while and I have version 3.1.2 from your link, but I do not have the View and Free Capture buttons in the center as you have. I've reinstalled it several times today, and I still don't have it. Any suggestions how to solve this?
Thank you Mic for your tutorial! Unfortunatly I'm experiencing a lot of crashes with the new version. The old one was much more stable. Did you have any problems with the software simply shutting down (without any message)?
Hmm that is very strange! i haven't experienced crashes at all. I'm using i7-7th gen with 16GB RAM. In the settings try to disable hardware decoding and encoding. It will have more dropped frames, but perhaps have less crashes.
I need help with my Insta360 One (without the X). I bought it late last year before a long trip to New Zealand and didn't have time to learn how to use it. Frankly the software is a mess and I haven't found any video tutorials (or written one either) to explain the workflow. You do a better job than most, but you still are not clear enough for me to figure out how to shoot, download and edit. QUESTIONS 1. Will the Insta360 Studio for ONE X work with the files from the camera I have, Insta360 One? 2. What is the workflow for the Insta360 One? When do I have to have it plugged into my phone and when can I use it with Bluetooth? 3. Do you know of any tutorials that can help me use the camera I already have? COMMENTS ON THIS VIDEO In this video you spend lots of time on subjects that are obvious to me since I've been editing regular video four many years. You gloss over the subjects about 360 video that I know little about. Here are some examples. 1. I know what key frames are and how to use them. 2. I know what transitions are and how to use them. 3. I know what stitching is but I don't know how it applies in this video. If fact I thought the Insta360 cameras stitched the the two 180 degree shots together right in the camera. So you could explain that more. 4. I know next to nothing about the file formats that store 360 video so I love for you to explain that some more. 5. I want to use my 360 camera to shoot travel videos and then edit them into a standard video. I do not want to publish 360 videos. I want to use it to let me shoot and then pick the frame in post. You mention this a lot, so I guess many people don't get this but it was obvious to me and the main reason I bought the camera. But the bad software and my inability to discover a viable workflow has really soured my experience with the Insta360 product and company. 6. You use of the terms _Free Capture, Over Capture, Reframed_ near the start of the video. The first two were not helpful. The last one I could guess about what it meant. I would have preferred for you to define these terms right then instead of leaving me confused. After watching your video I still don't know what they mean. 7. So what is a _Free Capture_ video? Is this exclusive to the ONE X or is it a general terms applicable to all 360 video? 8. What is _Over Capture_ video? 9. What is the _No Stitch_ workflow? What is the _Stitched_ workflow? I think I know what stitch means I just don't know how it fits into the workflow. CONCLUSION I've been writing software for about 45 years, so poor user interfaces in apps really annoy me. I also feel like the company and community has abandoned the camera I have in favor of the newest one. I think you do a better job with your videos than the other channels that cover 360 topics, but I'm still left in the dark about how to use what I've got. I have to admit that I put my camera away after the bad experience I've had with it. I'm just now thinking about giving it another shot. Thanks for a helpful channel. Please help me become a better 360 video user.
Hi Robert! Thank you so much for your comments and questions! First of all, I'm glad you're giving 360 another chance. There has never been a better time to use 360 :D Second, I'm so thankful for your questions because many times I don't know what questions people already know or what they don't know. Your questions were very helpful! QUESTIONS > 1. Will the Insta360 Studio for ONE X work with the files from the camera I have, Insta360 One? Yes! And you'll be able to switch stabilization modes too :D > 2. What is the workflow for the Insta360 One? When do I have to have it plugged into my phone and when can I use it with Bluetooth? You can use Insta360 One by itself, or wirelessly with a phone, or attached to a phone. Connecting to a phone gives you access to settings and modes not available when using it standalone. Physically connecting the One to your phone gives you live view, not available wirelessly. > 3. Do you know of any tutorials that can help me use the camera I already have? Yes here is a detailed tutorial for Insta360 One th-cam.com/video/DN5YWVmrERE/w-d-xo.html COMMENTS ON THIS VIDEO > 3, 9. I know what stitching is but I don't know how it applies in this video. Insta360 files are actually unstitched, even though they look stitched. If you change the extension .insv to .mp4, and .insp to .jpg you will see that they are actually unstitched double circular fisheyes. > 4. I know next to nothing about the file formats that store 360 video so I love for you to explain that some more. 360 videos are usually mp4, in equirectangular projection, with a 2:1 ratio, but they can be in almost any file format. You can actually have any aspect ratio -- the important thing is for the 360 video to be equirectangular and for it to have the 360 metadata. If the 360 metadata was lost during editing, it can be reinjected using the 360 metadata injector tool: github.com/google/spatial-media/releases/tag/v2.1 In the future, 360 videos may also be in cubemap projection but for now equirectangular is the standard. > 5. I want to use my 360 camera to shoot travel videos and then edit them into a standard video. I do not want to publish 360 videos. I want to use it to let me shoot and then pick the frame in post. Yes this is exactly what overcapture is for! :D And it is easier on Insta360 cameras than on any other 360 camera. > 6, 7, 8. You use of the terms Free Capture, Over Capture, Reframed near the start of the video. All these terms mean using the 360 video as a non-360 video, as you intended in #5. Overcapture is a term that was popularized by GoPro. Reframed is just a generic term. Freecapture is Insta360's term for overcapture or reframed video. The advantage of overcapture is that you'll be able to do camera moves that wouldn't normally be possible with a traditional camera. This video explains overcapture in more detail: th-cam.com/video/WG1jXsPjl1s/w-d-xo.html BTW if you haven't seen it, you may be interested in these videos to keep you motivated: * th-cam.com/video/6weD4EeyLVs/w-d-xo.html (shows how good insta360 one's stabilization is) * th-cam.com/video/jimV0HWEc1c/w-d-xo.html (basics of shooting with a 360 camera) * th-cam.com/video/3rXUftKG2HQ/w-d-xo.html -- the insta360 one can do most of what the one x can do in this video, albeit with less stabilization and lower image quality.

Wow! Thanks for the comprehensive answers to my comments. I did download the Insta360 Studio and discovered for myself that it works with the files I shot. Yahoo! When I was traveling I tried to download the videos to my phone so that I could edit and post the same day. After that mostly failed, I just focused on shooting with my GH4. This time I took the SD card out of the camera and copied the files over to my desktop. Now editing look like it will be easy. I guess I'll just have to get a lightweight laptop to take with me. (We try to travel with one carry-on bag each plus one more "personal" bag each. Doesn't leave much room for tech gear.) I deleted my Facebook account so that won't work. I'll check out your reddit link. Is that a sub-redit? Thanks a bunch. Glad I'm subscribed.
@@RobertShaverOfAustin Thanks for subbing Robert! On the road, you can use your phone to create overcapture videos as well. It can be faster if you're just planning to edit one or two videos.
Hi from Spain, and thank for your tutorials. I have a question: When I edit my hyperlapse videos on the phone there is a very beatiful motion blur effect. How can I get this effect editing on a computer with the Insta 360 software? Thanks!
Hi Luis! The hyperlapse with motion blur effect is indeed cool, but isn't available yet on Insta360 Studio. For the hyperlapse clip in my video I used the phone app then imported the video into my desktop. But i think they will add it in the future.
Great info as always, thanks. Do you see them adding ability to speed ramp in the software as in the app? Also wondering how to apply the Insta360 X lut to log footage as the app has the ability to do? Do you see any difference in output video quality between the software and app? Thanks
Thanks K Kam! Yes I believe timeshift / hyperlapse will be added in Studio. As for LUT yes I've asked for it but I don't know if they'll put it in. As for output video quality, for overcapture i don't notice a difference, but for 360, the smartphone app is limited to 4K (because smartphones aren't powerful enough to render 5.7K 360 video).
@@360vroomers Thanks Mic, it is still great that they are consistently improving the user experience. By the way, can you advise how to change time and date on the OneX, all my video timestamps are off and I can't work out how to change the in camera settings, thanks
@@360vroomers Thanks, I will try that but strange it changed as I have connected it previously. Also I am trying to work out the in camera file system on the microSD card, the camera seems to duplicate the video files, what's your experience with this?
@@kkam7044 yes you need to connect to your phone when you remove the battery. Re the file system, 5.7k files have two files each. They are not duplicates. You need both files for the video to work. Also, do not rename the files.
good question! I used a monopod with tripod legs. it's considered a tripod so it's allowed. but don't extend it too far or else you'll draw attention to yourself.
360Rumors i got the buddle pack that has the invisible stick with the mini tripod bullet handle. So if i attach together straight they would consider it as a tripod
@@thispecialk hi Sakibomb. Well the mini tripod bullet handle is very small, so they might think it's not really a tripod. I suggest getting a light stand instead. You have a better chance of arguing it is a tripod
Thank you very much Viktor! Yes I have heard other statistics, such as a 4:1 ratio in favor of Mig15, or a 10:1 ratio in favor of F86. The 9:1 ratio I used is from this article: blog.codinghorror.com/boyds-law-of-iteration/ TBH I dont know which one is true. Please feel free to post links to other statistics! Whether the stats are accurate or not, John Boyd's analysis has been influential and has been used in military strategy, management, and even litigation: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Boyd_(military_strategist)#The_OODA_Loop I think the theory of speed vs. quality is correct. With digital cameras for example, a user can become more skilled much more quickly than someone who learns with a traditional camera, because of the immediate feedback from a digital camera.
@@360vroomers Thank you for elaborating. Where there is conflict of interests, the truth can be hard or impossible to find; the key is to be looking for it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Korean_War_flying_aces and it's Russian version demonstrate the scale of discrepancy on total aircraft losses. The article is interesting; the OODA loop methodology is indeed very practical and applicable to many real-world situations.
@@360vroomers great news. can we have that hyperlapse like feature with another editor. Let's say Premere or Resolve? Having that feature would mean I might have to build a PC with a decent graphics card. Currently surviving on a S9+ and a 2 core / 4 thread laptop with inbuilt graphics.
@@ZiyanJunaideen hi Ziyan. Yes Premiere can do hyperlapse effect. Just choose the higher speed and choose frame blending mode. It will be similar to hyperlapse with motion blur
Hi Townsville. All you have to do is export the video as a 360 video. In Insta360 Studio, make sure you are in the "View" tab (not Freecapture tab), then export your video. It will be exported as a 360 video. Then use a VR viewing app on your phone to view the video. Do you have an iOS or Android phone?
@@360vroomers Hi, thanks so much for your reply. I'm at my wits end. It's for use on an android phone. I imported the .insv file into Premiere pro and strung a few clips together. When I exported I made sure the VR check box was checked. I uploaded to TH-cam and it's playing as a 360 video, however when I try and play it on the KM VR player on the Samsung phone and view with XCD VR goggles, it is glitching or freezing on one frame and not playing through. Any advice? Is the file size too large perhaps?
@@JohnDoe-ng7xm ok it sounds like it might be running out of system memory or something... sounds like the kind of video that would be best edited on desktop! :D
I've spent a lot of time learning photography and filming 360, watching your videos, The 360 Guy, Ben Claremont, TravelPedia 360 and many others. The greatest difficulty in learning is not in the 360's practice and in the handling of equipment, but rather in the workflow, especially with regard to seams, corrections and what programs to use. In this context, regarding this your video and the software Insta 360 studio, I ask: (I am using the camera Mi sphere) - When exporting the final file, a metadata error appears - Should the metadata injection (use Spatial Media Injector) be done in the camera source file or after sewing in the Mi Sphere Camera app (PC)? Still doing both ways, the error follows. - I could not enable the Aplicction - Lock Direction functions and no other functions below (not enabled). Are these functions only available for the Insta camera? Thank you
Thanks Eduardo. Here is the mi sphere workflow: 1. Use mi sphere camera app on phone or desktop to stitch. 2. If you want to convert the 360 video to overcapture, you can do that with insta360 studio. Studio will not add stabilization -- it is only for converting. Stabilization is via mi sphere app in step 1. 3. To combine several 360 videos or several non360 videos, use a video editor. Pls let me know if you have any questions.
Here are clickable time points that viewers can use to instantly jump to specific parts of your tutorial: 03:25 - Using the Insta360 One X Studio desktop application 03:38 - Changing the various views of photos/videos (Asteroid, Crystal Ball, Fisheye, Perspective, Equirectangular) 04:01 - Stabilization Modes: FlowState Stabilization keeps the scene always pointed in the same direction. Lock Direction keeps view pointed in the direction of the camera lens. 05:32 - Export video 05:45 - Take snapshot of a scene 07:21 - Editing in Free Capture mode (skips the stitching process which yields better quality output) 08:54 - Pan camera, choose view 10:18 - Moving keyframes to different positions 10:39 - Controlling transitions 11:42 - Export file 11:55 - Don't have time to edit?

Hey I gotta say, I loved the video but I especially loved the anecdote/analogy using the fighter plane control systems. That was super interesting and enlightening!
@@emirxhemaili1991 hmm the video is a stitched 360 video, not overcapture video? i tried studio again just now with orbit360 video and it works. i will try again with mi sphere
Too bad Insta360 Studio is missing some key features - 1) Impossible to edit more than one video clip at a time - FAIL 2) No Time Shifting Editing or color correction either - All the iOS features should be in the desktop app but they are missing.
Hi Touchwood. To be fair these are unusual features. Only one 360 cam desktop app i know can edit multiple videos: Virb 360 and you can use Virb Edit for free even with One X. As for timeshift and color correction, the only 360 cam desktop that offers it afaik is rylo but it is only for mac. I think insta will add timeshift in the future.
This app for PC is bullshit. Most of the features dont work. trying to upload, 99% of the time it freezes and the app needs to be closed. Im using a Surface pro 4 and Note 8
One other question I have. You tout this workflow as a NO stitch option...and/or it is unnecessary to stitch the file. When you 'export' the file...isn't it being automatically stitched together? Otherwords, how could you get those 360 views without some sort of stitching during the export process?
Hi Checkered Flag. By no-stitch editing, it means that you can go straight to editing without stitching it first. Instead, stitching occurs during export, on an as-needed basis. For example, if you use only a 30 second segment from a 10 min video, it will stitch only that 30-sec segment. Even though it is not stitched until export, you do get to see the 360 view while editing, just as if it had already been stitched.

awesome! good to know
Love that you have the Hero 7, One X, and Pocket Osmo all going at once! Funny story, I was snowboarding today and had my One (not the X- want at least the Venture case before I use it -waiting almost 3 months now) so, I had the One and I was holding it behind me when another snowboarder gets my attention and politely lets me know that I am not getting any good video because my camera is pointing away. I yelled back that I am actually getting EVERYTHING because it is a 360 camera and it literally catches everything and that later I can choose what I want in editing! He seemed impressed. It was amusing!
Lol that story made me smile. 😁 I wish he got to see the footage! 😃
I was tempted to go fetch my iPhone and show the video to him but I was getting ready to head back home. Ziplining, I have shown it to guides and guests and wowed them with it.
Nice! Thanks for spreading the word Pete!
I just really thought it was funny that he didn't think I was getting any video and the reality couldn't have been more completely the opposite! A person could not have been more wrong about something-but I was nice about it! I'm always waiting for people to ask about the camera since it is obviously not a GoPro. Actually, another funny thing about today, I had the pole strapped across my chest and the guy running the lift said at first glance it looked like I had a torque wrench and he was wondering what I was going to torque!
Yes it was really ironic wasn't it! Thanks for being a 360 advocate and educating people about it!
my camera is here and this was super helpful to understand how studio software works. Doing tomorrow my behind the scenes shooting with the client and will try to record sound on zoom. See if I can properly stitch it after with FCPX.

Just got an insta360 one x for an upcoming trip to a Disney World and cruise. I saw your footage at Disney and wondered what you use to hold the camera in the parks since they don’t allow selfie sticks. I’ve learned a lot from your videos and appreciate your advice! Look forward to your reply. Thanks!
Thanks scinnamon3! Sounds like an exciting trip! Perfect for using the One X! Yes you are right about the rule about selfie sticks. For rides I just hold the One X. If you're wary of dropping it, you can get a D-ring and wrist strap. Walking around the park, I use a monopod with tripod legs, which falls under their definition of a tripod, such as the monoshot monoshot.co/ . Be careful not to extend it to its maximum length or you might attract security's attention.

Seems like edit, keyframes and else are saved into the original insv file, and not as a separate satellite file. To make several edits of the same file, you need to duplicate the Gigabyte size original. Maybe in a next update we shall have a separate file for the edit, like save the project...
Thanks Alain. Good idea. I'll ask them if they can do that, in order to allow multiple versions.

Thanks for the video. Can we zoom into something in the key frame? I don't see this option.
Thanks Lucas. Yes you absolutely can zoom in or zoom out and keyframe the zooming. The parameter is called "FOV" (field of view).
I just shot a timelapse with my Insta360 One X. Now I have loaded those individual frames (*.insp file format) into Insta360 Studio 2019. So far I can find no way to combine them into a single video. Is there a manual on how this editor works? (I've found no help on the web site.) Thanks for a great channel.
Hi Robert. There are two time lapse modes. The time lapse photo will shoot individual photos, and you'll need to combine them into a video using Premiere or other video editors. The much easier way is time lapse video, which will create a video for you (it creates one video file, similar to a regular one x video). To use time lapse video, switch to video mode, and then hold down the shutter to toggle the sub-mode to time lapse. Use settings to change the interval. Easy as pie! I'll create a comprehensive tutorial for one x
Any chance this could be made to work for GoPro Max 360 footage? Cause GoPro didn't make any PC reframing software, and their phone app has many bugs
hi Michael! It can work if you can export the Max 360 video in H.264 or H.265. Right now, that is possible only with the Mac app (or the phone app). The PC version of MAX exporter can only export in cineform so far, which is incompatible with insta360 studio. Hopefully Max exporter will add h264 and h265 soon!
Great tutorial video, I love the new version of the Insta360 One X desktop app. I learned a lot from this video, Very well done.

@@360vroomershanks for your nice tutorial. In this new Insta360 Studio desktop app I have been searching for the "follow object"- feature, similar to that in the smartphone app. However I didn't find it. Is this feature still not available in the desktop app?
Nice one Mic, I have to consider how relevant my Premier Pro subscription is. I have to agree with you totally in the workflow point of view. The speed that it takes to get the footage from camera to end product is key. We want to be spending our time shooting viewing and sharing, not editing. Insta360 and the OneX just nails this.
Yes insta360 one x's workflow is probably the best at the moment. It is possible to do without premiere pro, if you are willing to do a 2-step editing process: create overcapture videos, then edit the overcapture videos in another video editor. FWIW insta360 promised that we will be able to create montages. but I'm not sure if they mean the smartphone app or studio or both.

Thanks Dustin! Great questions. Re changing speeds, which insta calls timeshift, i believe insta will add it to the desktop app in the future. for now i just do hyperlapse sequences on my phone then import the hyperlapse videos to my desktop. Tracking is a feature that i haven't seen on a 360 camera desktop app. I'm not sure if it's harder to program on a desktop or what, so i don't know if that feature will be added to the Studio app or not. It is possible to do it in After Effects, although it is quite complicated. Powerdirector also has some 360 tracking capability although it is used for titles, instead of panning the camera
no it does not - too bad....
@@TouchwoodTV you are right as of feb 2019.
Amazing tutorial, thank you! In your video, you mention that the side of the camera where you change the camera settings is the front of the camera and to aim that side at your subject. If both lenses capture a 180 degree field-of-view, what difference does it make as to which lens is pointed toward the subject? Thanks!
Hi SpectraLight. If you point the front of the camera at the subject, then you can use direction lock and it will show the subject without you having to use keyframing.
@@360vroomers OK. I didn't know if there was a stitching issue that would be more apparent with the back of the camera facing the subject so you eliminated that concern.
@@SpectralightPhoto oh ok. This is basically an alternative to keyframing.
Always learning from your great tutorials, Mic! (I never realized about the "none" feature to make keyframes look like edit cuts!) Thank you!
Thanks Andrea! Actually, the prerelease version of Studio didn't have the "none" transition. I talked to insta360 and they thought it wasn't necessary but im glad in the end they agreed to add it.
Just realized that none is pretty cool sometimes 👍
Good luck, love your dedication and the videos of helping people understand 360 videos.
Thank you very much Jeff! I'll continue to do my best for the 360 community!
Thanks for the tutorial. Glad Insta360 released this edition of the studio app, and add the reframing feature that was missing from 3.1.2. Makes the workflow much easier to grasp for beginners IMHO. Your video makes all the key fundamental concept for exporting a successful overcaptured video easy to understand.
I still have to figure out how to load multiple footages on the timeline though for editing and outputting a single video. Should be easy as dragging onto the timeline but for some reason, I can't figure out this simple step. Hah... back into the application to figure it out.
Thanks David! Re loading multiple videos into the timeline, the current version of Studio doesn't do that yet. Insta360 has said that they will add that feature, but they didn't say if it will be in the smartphone app or desktop app or both. For now, you'll need a 3rd party 360 video editor to do that, such as Magix, Powerdirector, or Premiere (yes i know it's expensive).
Hallo, thank you for showing us that marvel of Camera and Software. Unfortunately I do not find it, I have recorded, made the settings, the video works in the IPhon Camera Software, but when that Video or Photo I want to export it to Studio 2019 it does not work in any way and only a blue background appears, the left apparently a Photo in jpg.but I can not make any changes, and no video is accepted. If you can help me and say what I'm missing, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.
Thanks Rodolfo. Did you copy all the files into the same folder, and make sure not to rename them? Also the 5.7k videos have 2 files each (with very similar names). Do not delete either file. If you do, the video cannot be opened.
Thank you mic for the guide
Thank you very much akbar!!! 😀👍
can't wait for my mi sphere. this trick works on mi sphere videos right?
Hi Amru! Yes! It does work for mi sphere!
@@360vroomers the videos from mi sphere is mp4. The stitching panel window is un-click-able. i can't do the stabilization and stitcing on apps. the workflow still have to stitch the videos in the android apps than import to insta studio.
@@mashimaru-id Hi Amru. Yes that's right! Mi Sphere must be stitched in its own software. Studio will not stitch Mi Sphere, or add stabilization or change stitching modes. Those are only for Insta360 cameras. Studio can only be used to make overcapture videos with Mi Sphere.
Thanks for this video but it’s also cool to get to the point quickly.
thanks buddy! i wish i could make it as short as possible, but youtube's main criterion for ranking videos is watch time so i have to do my best to keep you guys watching as much as possible, which is actually very very hard to do :) but next time i'll add a table of contents to help you skip ahead :)
Any 360 camera? My xiaomi sphere 360 doesn't support. It doesn't stich it.
Hi Dimitri. Studio won't stitch or stabilize 3rd party cameras, but you can use it for editing. First stitch the Xiaomi Mi Sphere with its own software. Then you can import the stitched video into Insta360 Studio to create a non360 freecapture video with keyframes.
I have just started watching your videos - you do a great job! Thx a lot :)
Thank you very much!!! Good news - i have even more interesting videos coming soon 😀 stay tuned! 😁
Hi Mic, Is there any software that allow us to reframe the 360 video to VR180 video?
Hi WK. Good question. Just follow the same process as for exporting to 360 video, but in the 360 video, you apply a mask to cover half of the 360 video. Please note that it will be hemispherical, but it won't be 3D unlike most VR180 videos.
Hi thank you for all of your work/video; question : where I can find 16x(hyperlapse acceleration in studio (same as Insta360 app) ? thank
Hi Serge. Sorry, but the current version of Studio doesn't have it yet. Insta360 says they'll add it, but they haven't done it yet.
@@360vroomers Ok thank we must waiting; Premiere is the best software to mix many 360 video ?
Nothing shows how to color correct an image. How do you do that?
Hi Airspeed. I didn't cover color correction in this tutorial, but I recommend stitching the photo then editing it. Or you can edit the unstitched dng first and then stitch with ptgui. those are the options.
Thank you for another great video. My desk top software is very different than yours. Maybe because I am on a mac. I don't seem to have transitions only frame parameters. I also don't see any ratio or custom options. No key frame within a key frame. and of course no speed adj like the camera has. Still waiting for a plug in for FCP. I love the camera and the 360 potential but there is a long ways to go to make the workflow easy and fun on all platforms. You should be able to make a cut in the middle of a long clip.
Thanks Robert. I checked just now and it does have the same options on the Mac version. Pls make sure you downloaded version 3.2.1 not 3.1.2. To change the transitions, click on the line between 2 keyframes. Aspect ratio button is beside the snapshot button. let me know if you have any questions :D
Thanx you are correct Mic:)
@@rappere11 no problem buddy. Working on a new tutorial. Stay tuned!
Do you also use a Removu K1? In the video it seems that yes. Can you make a video talking about this camera and why or for what you use it. It seems strange that someone wants a camera with gimbal like the removu or the osmo if it has the 360 that seems to offer a better stabilization and more creative possibilities. Finally, I see that the 360 has a really bad sound, so, is there any possibility of using an external microphone to improve that?
Hi RecursosEnInternet! Yes you are very observant. I do use Removu K1. I will make a video about it and Osmo Pocket, and compare them to One X. As for 360 sound, the problem is not the microphone. the problem is that if you put the camera on a selfie stick, it will be far away from you. So any camera or even microphone that is far away will not sound good. In my case I use Zoom H1N or H2N and then I connect it to a lav microphone. In postprocessing, I sync them. The Zoom H1N and H2N can record for many hours so i don't have to worry about starting and stopping the recording, unless i'm not shooting anymore.
@@360vroomers Thank you for the answer and I look forward to that comparative video. However, I also asked about using the 360 for everything, that is to say, imagine that I am going on a trip... would you take the 360 and some other camera like the removu? and if you answer that if, why? I ask because it seems that the 360 is almost all you need to record videos very stabilized and be even more creative (battery life is a separate issue, of course)
@@recursoseninternet that will be the focus of the video - to answer that question. but if you want to know the short answer basically if i could have only one camera to bring on a trip, i would bring a 360 camera without a doubt. but there are some situations where a non-360 camera is easier to use. for example, i used the k1 because it has a direct microphone input, and it can shoot at higher resolution than what i can get from one x.
Thanks for this great 360 to 2d video edit workflow. Great tutorial!
Thanks buddy! I'm actually working on a new tutorial for even more one x techniques! :D
I don’t understand all the exporting settings. For TH-cam and Facebook what is the best exporting settings? Is 3820 or 1080 better? Also, what bit rate I see you have 18 but others do 60? Also, h264 or h265?
There is a huge black Stitching Line and the video is very blurry. Why? Maybe due to wrong exporting settings? It’s fine in the Desktop Studio App but only happens when it’s exports.
Hey there SteAmy. Is your final video a 360 video or non-360 video? If it is a 360 video then it should be the original resolution of 5760 x 2880. If it is a non360 video, then you can export as 1080. You can export non360 as 3840 x 2160 some higher resolution but there is going to be almost no difference from 1080. Re h264 or h265, use h264 if you will edit it. It will be easier to edit than h265. If you will post it, you can use either one. H264 files are larger while h265 files take up less space.
Re huge black stitch line, pls post a link to your video or a screenshot so i know what you mean.
@@360vroomers Thanks for your quick reply!!! Here is a very short clip i just did and it has a stiching line. It does not show up in Insta 360 Studio and only when i export it as a MP4 and view in VLC player or put to TH-cam
th-cam.com/video/vZImL2ohWUw/w-d-xo.html
Also, when i go to export it automatically tells me 1920x1080 and not as you mentioned 5760x2880....is that wrong? I have been testing the different bit rates to see if it affects the line and it doesnt. Normally what bit rate do i want to use for the different resolutions and should i stick with h264? Thanks in advance!
Does the venture case effect image quality at all? Clarity? Do different lighting conditions cause flares or reflections while using the case? Maybe you can do a video comparing with and without the case and do some crops to compare closely.
Hi there Growing Answers! Great question. I was planning a video except that Insta360 doesn't have the venture case in stock yet. When they do i will post a comparison video. But for now i can send you a sample video. Basically, the stitiching is smooth above water. Under water, the stitching is not smooth. Venture Case does add some glare -- the kind that decreases the contrast of the side that is facing the key light.
@@360vroomers Does the software work well with the dive case?

Question: I really would like to use a desktop app to do my editing! Is it premier pro I should purchase?
Thanks Harley! For desktop editing, Premiere Pro is the one I use most often but it's pricey. You can't buy it outright. You have to pay each month.

Hi there buddy. Insta360 Studio 2019 can't add music. But you can use any video editor that supports 360 video. A free one is Virb Edit (the software for Virb 360). You can add music with that IIRC. Or another free one is Davinci Resolve. It doesn't support 360 video but after rendering the video you can add 360 metadata using the youtube metadata injector tool.

Hi CG Films. If you want to transfer the file to Oculus Go, then copy the files to the Movies folder, and rename the files with suffix _360.mp4 for example test_360.mp4.

Hey Mic, thanks for a very helpful and well done video to work with Insta360 Studio. I just got my self a Insta 360 OneX and could learn a lot from you. I just have a (maybe) stupid question: As an architect I am used to work on a desktop (Mac) and therefore I prefer the Insta360 Studio instead of the Apps on iPad or iPhone. Here's my question: Where can I find the functions in the desktop program (Insta360 Studio) to speed up a video sequence or place a frame in frame view as I can do quite easily on the Apps? I spend already a lot of time googeling this task, did not find any answers unfortunately ..maybe you can tell me where these functions are or if this is just not possible on the desktop program? Thanks a lot for your answer in advance & cheers from Berne (Switzerland) - Thomas
So what is the advantage of using this desktop software over just doing it on my iphone? It seems like it would take a heck of a lot less time just using the viewfinder tool on the app.
Great question Aaron! For single videos, it is indeed faster to use the phone, and viewfinder is very convenient. But when I have many videos, I use the desktop because I don't want to clog up my phone storage. I also want to archive my photos and videos. I can also batch export on the desktop.
@@360vroomers That makes sense on both the storage and the time front. After I returned from my vacation Thursday evening, I spent about 10 hours or so creating/editing shots I had gotten on my One X while away. And all of files are on my iPhone now taking up about 120 gigs. You can see my final video here where I used them (along with shots I got with the other 5 cameras I took :) ) vimeo.com/315150806
wow what an amazing video! would you like me to share it on facebook / 360rumors.com? i think it could inspire a lot of people. (yes i understand not all of the shots were from one x). so if i understand correctly, you downloaded one x videos to your phone to reframe them and then exported the reframed videos to your desktop? for videos of that size i really prefer desktop editing because i think it is easier to synchronize the panning with the music.

Hi Mic, nice vid as always. I'm using insta360 one x studio to overcapture my fusion mp4 videos. I have two questions. First when exporting a video, the bitrate is set 18 Mbps by default. Should i leave it as it is or i have to chose higher bitrate? And second, when i chose to export freecapture 3840 x2160 (because this is the resolution of my mp4 rendered fusion clips) do i really get this resolution, or just a larger video file with the same quality as if i was exporting 1080?
Thanks buddy! The default bit rate is the original bitrate. If you choose a higher bitrate, it won't really improve the image quality. Similarly, for the resolution 1080 is the normal resolution because even if the video is 5.7K, you're only viewing a small portion of it. This is true also for the Fusion.
What software are you using for your video editing? If you're using Premiere, you could create a 1080p sequence and then import videos from Fusion and Insta360 (even if higher than 1080p). When you apply the GoPro VR Reframe effect, the videos will automatically be reframed and resized to match the 1080p video. I hope that helps!
BTW if you're using Premiere, you don't have to stitch Insta360. Premiere can import insv and insp files. :)

Sorry Mic, I know it is not your challenge but you are very expert all I cannot use the camera as it doesn't want to connect to my phone and the serial number on the camera even is wrong. So you know why its this and how to fix it. Have been in this fire the last 2 days. Thnx a lot
@@ibrahimdiaa8872 Hi Ibrahim. Sorry I just saw your reply now. I use different cameras. My main camera is a Samsung NX1, which is no longer being produced. The software I use is Premiere. But you can also use something like powerdirector. Thank you very much for your support!
Will this work with my MadV videos and photos?
It can work with Madv videos. For Madv photos, you can extract a snapshot, but you can't make a video from the photo.
@@360vroomers Thanks!
On my vídeo edit with samsung 360 footage it wont let me choose any of the stabilization modes
Hi GAproductions! The stabilization modes and stitching modes only work for Insta360 cameras. But you can still use the keyframing for samsung gear 360.
Know of any good free 360 mapping software? Cupix recently started charging so I’m wondering if you know of any good alternatives?
Hi McKay. Yes there are several but they all have a cost. Metareal might be the most affordable alternative 360rumors.com/2018/08/create-true-3d-virtual-tours-using-360-photos-metareal-stage.html . but it is totally manual
Love your video Mr. Mic..
I'll try it with mi sphere 😉🤜🤛
Thanks 360 id! Yes it works with Mi Sphere! I've tried it :D Just stitch the video in mi sphere app with stabilization. Then import into insta360 studio. :D
Does gopro fusion footage work?
It can if you render to 4K. Insta360 Studio handles 5.7K but the problem is that Fusion Studio only renders 5.7K video in Prores or Cineform, which are not supported in Insta360 Studio. In H.264, the maximum reso for Fusion Studio is 4K
Is it still in beta. Studio x one is not picking up my 4k fusion footage
Nice tutorial Mic. Really happy they upgraded desktop app. Hope they add more features like hyperlapse and basic color, sharpening etc adjustments.
@@acdcbc9090 hmm i tried a 4K fusion file just now and it loaded but there was an error something about file is corrupted. i can look around in 360, but it doesnt look like the file is playing. i'll try to investigate. fwiw i've tried with mi sphere and orbit360 and they loaded fine

I've reinstalled it several times today, and I still don't have it. Any suggestions how to solve this?

Thank you Mic for your tutorial! Unfortunatly I'm experiencing a lot of crashes with the new version.
The old one was much more stable.
Did you have any problems with the software simply shutting down (without any message)?
Hmm that is very strange! i haven't experienced crashes at all. I'm using i7-7th gen with 16GB RAM. In the settings try to disable hardware decoding and encoding. It will have more dropped frames, but perhaps have less crashes.
@@360vroomers Thx for the suggestion! I think I'll need a PC with Nvidia graphics card and more RAM 😉

I need help with my Insta360 One (without the X). I bought it late last year before a long trip to New Zealand and didn't have time to learn how to use it. Frankly the software is a mess and I haven't found any video tutorials (or written one either) to explain the workflow. You do a better job than most, but you still are not clear enough for me to figure out how to shoot, download and edit.
QUESTIONS
1. Will the Insta360 Studio for ONE X work with the files from the camera I have, Insta360 One?
2. What is the workflow for the Insta360 One? When do I have to have it plugged into my phone and when can I use it with Bluetooth?
3. Do you know of any tutorials that can help me use the camera I already have?
COMMENTS ON THIS VIDEO
In this video you spend lots of time on subjects that are obvious to me since I've been editing regular video four many years. You gloss over the subjects about 360 video that I know little about. Here are some examples.
1. I know what key frames are and how to use them.
2. I know what transitions are and how to use them.
3. I know what stitching is but I don't know how it applies in this video. If fact I thought the Insta360 cameras stitched the the two 180 degree shots together right in the camera. So you could explain that more.
4. I know next to nothing about the file formats that store 360 video so I love for you to explain that some more.
5. I want to use my 360 camera to shoot travel videos and then edit them into a standard video. I do not want to publish 360 videos. I want to use it to let me shoot and then pick the frame in post. You mention this a lot, so I guess many people don't get this but it was obvious to me and the main reason I bought the camera. But the bad software and my inability to discover a viable workflow has really soured my experience with the Insta360 product and company.
6. You use of the terms _Free Capture, Over Capture, Reframed_ near the start of the video. The first two were not helpful. The last one I could guess about what it meant. I would have preferred for you to define these terms right then instead of leaving me confused. After watching your video I still don't know what they mean.
7. So what is a _Free Capture_ video? Is this exclusive to the ONE X or is it a general terms applicable to all 360 video?
8. What is _Over Capture_ video?
9. What is the _No Stitch_ workflow? What is the _Stitched_ workflow? I think I know what stitch means I just don't know how it fits into the workflow.
CONCLUSION
I've been writing software for about 45 years, so poor user interfaces in apps really annoy me. I also feel like the company and community has abandoned the camera I have in favor of the newest one. I think you do a better job with your videos than the other channels that cover 360 topics, but I'm still left in the dark about how to use what I've got. I have to admit that I put my camera away after the bad experience I've had with it. I'm just now thinking about giving it another shot.
Thanks for a helpful channel. Please help me become a better 360 video user.
Hi Robert! Thank you so much for your comments and questions! First of all, I'm glad you're giving 360 another chance. There has never been a better time to use 360 :D Second, I'm so thankful for your questions because many times I don't know what questions people already know or what they don't know. Your questions were very helpful!
QUESTIONS
> 1. Will the Insta360 Studio for ONE X work with the files from the camera I have, Insta360 One?
Yes! And you'll be able to switch stabilization modes too :D
> 2. What is the workflow for the Insta360 One? When do I have to have it plugged into my phone and when can I use it with Bluetooth?
You can use Insta360 One by itself, or wirelessly with a phone, or attached to a phone. Connecting to a phone gives you access to settings and modes not available when using it standalone. Physically connecting the One to your phone gives you live view, not available wirelessly.
> 3. Do you know of any tutorials that can help me use the camera I already have?
Yes here is a detailed tutorial for Insta360 One th-cam.com/video/DN5YWVmrERE/w-d-xo.html

> 3, 9. I know what stitching is but I don't know how it applies in this video.
Insta360 files are actually unstitched, even though they look stitched. If you change the extension .insv to .mp4, and .insp to .jpg you will see that they are actually unstitched double circular fisheyes.
> 4. I know next to nothing about the file formats that store 360 video so I love for you to explain that some more.
360 videos are usually mp4, in equirectangular projection, with a 2:1 ratio, but they can be in almost any file format. You can actually have any aspect ratio -- the important thing is for the 360 video to be equirectangular and for it to have the 360 metadata. If the 360 metadata was lost during editing, it can be reinjected using the 360 metadata injector tool: github.com/google/spatial-media/releases/tag/v2.1
In the future, 360 videos may also be in cubemap projection but for now equirectangular is the standard.
> 5. I want to use my 360 camera to shoot travel videos and then edit them into a standard video. I do not want to publish 360 videos. I want to use it to let me shoot and then pick the frame in post.
Yes this is exactly what overcapture is for! :D And it is easier on Insta360 cameras than on any other 360 camera.
> 6, 7, 8. You use of the terms Free Capture, Over Capture, Reframed near the start of the video.
All these terms mean using the 360 video as a non-360 video, as you intended in #5. Overcapture is a term that was popularized by GoPro. Reframed is just a generic term. Freecapture is Insta360's term for overcapture or reframed video.
The advantage of overcapture is that you'll be able to do camera moves that wouldn't normally be possible with a traditional camera. This video explains overcapture in more detail: th-cam.com/video/WG1jXsPjl1s/w-d-xo.html
BTW if you haven't seen it, you may be interested in these videos to keep you motivated:
* th-cam.com/video/6weD4EeyLVs/w-d-xo.html (shows how good insta360 one's stabilization is)
* th-cam.com/video/jimV0HWEc1c/w-d-xo.html (basics of shooting with a 360 camera)
* th-cam.com/video/3rXUftKG2HQ/w-d-xo.html -- the insta360 one can do most of what the one x can do in this video, albeit with less stabilization and lower image quality.

Wow! Thanks for the comprehensive answers to my comments. I did download the Insta360 Studio and discovered for myself that it works with the files I shot.
Yahoo! When I was traveling I tried to download the videos to my phone so that I could edit and post the same day. After that mostly failed, I just focused on shooting with my GH4. This time I took the SD card out of the camera and copied the files over to my desktop. Now editing look like it will be easy. I guess I'll just have to get a lightweight laptop to take with me. (We try to travel with one carry-on bag each plus one more "personal" bag each. Doesn't leave much room for tech gear.)
I deleted my Facebook account so that won't work. I'll check out your reddit link. Is that a sub-redit?
Thanks a bunch. Glad I'm subscribed.
@@RobertShaverOfAustin Thanks for subbing Robert! On the road, you can use your phone to create overcapture videos as well. It can be faster if you're just planning to edit one or two videos.
Hi from Spain, and thank for your tutorials. I have a question: When I edit my hyperlapse videos on the phone there is a very beatiful motion blur effect. How can I get this effect editing on a computer with the Insta 360 software? Thanks!
Hi Luis! The hyperlapse with motion blur effect is indeed cool, but isn't available yet on Insta360 Studio. For the hyperlapse clip in my video I used the phone app then imported the video into my desktop. But i think they will add it in the future.
@@360vroomers Does premier allow you to add hyperlapse? thanks
@@stefanoloretto4554 yes in a manner of speaking. You can speed up the video. But in the future i believe insta will add a true hyperlapse to studio
Great info as always, thanks. Do you see them adding ability to speed ramp in the software as in the app? Also wondering how to apply the Insta360 X lut to log footage as the app has the ability to do? Do you see any difference in output video quality between the software and app? Thanks
Thanks K Kam! Yes I believe timeshift / hyperlapse will be added in Studio. As for LUT yes I've asked for it but I don't know if they'll put it in. As for output video quality, for overcapture i don't notice a difference, but for 360, the smartphone app is limited to 4K (because smartphones aren't powerful enough to render 5.7K 360 video).
@@360vroomers Thanks Mic, it is still great that they are consistently improving the user experience. By the way, can you advise how to change time and date on the OneX, all my video timestamps are off and I can't work out how to change the in camera settings, thanks
ah yes here's the trick: just connect the One X to your phone -- the One X will copy your phone's date and time :D let me know if it works for you!
@@360vroomers Thanks, I will try that but strange it changed as I have connected it previously. Also I am trying to work out the in camera file system on the microSD card, the camera seems to duplicate the video files, what's your experience with this?
@@kkam7044 yes you need to connect to your phone when you remove the battery. Re the file system, 5.7k files have two files each. They are not duplicates. You need both files for the video to work. Also, do not rename the files.

How did u bring a selfie stick in disneyland
good question! I used a monopod with tripod legs. it's considered a tripod so it's allowed. but don't extend it too far or else you'll draw attention to yourself.
360Rumors i got the buddle pack that has the invisible stick with the mini tripod bullet handle. So if i attach together straight they would consider it as a tripod
@@thispecialk hi Sakibomb. Well the mini tripod bullet handle is very small, so they might think it's not really a tripod. I suggest getting a light stand instead. You have a better chance of arguing it is a tripod
Awesome video!
But, regarding Mig-15 vs F86 losses, did you care enough to study statistics from the other side?
Thank you very much Viktor! Yes I have heard other statistics, such as a 4:1 ratio in favor of Mig15, or a 10:1 ratio in favor of F86. The 9:1 ratio I used is from this article: blog.codinghorror.com/boyds-law-of-iteration/ TBH I dont know which one is true. Please feel free to post links to other statistics!
Whether the stats are accurate or not, John Boyd's analysis has been influential and has been used in military strategy, management, and even litigation: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Boyd_(military_strategist)#The_OODA_Loop
I think the theory of speed vs. quality is correct. With digital cameras for example, a user can become more skilled much more quickly than someone who learns with a traditional camera, because of the immediate feedback from a digital camera.
@@360vroomers Thank you for elaborating. Where there is conflict of interests, the truth can be hard or impossible to find; the key is to be looking for it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Korean_War_flying_aces and it's Russian version demonstrate the scale of discrepancy on total aircraft losses.
The article is interesting; the OODA loop methodology is indeed very practical and applicable to many real-world situations.

Can it be speed up / hyper lapse...?
Hi Ziyan. No hyperlapse yet in Studio but Insta360 said they will add it in the future. I just dont know when...
@@360vroomers great news. can we have that hyperlapse like feature with another editor. Let's say Premere or Resolve?
Having that feature would mean I might have to build a PC with a decent graphics card. Currently surviving on a S9+ and a 2 core / 4 thread laptop with inbuilt graphics.
@@ZiyanJunaideen hi Ziyan. Yes Premiere can do hyperlapse effect. Just choose the higher speed and choose frame blending mode. It will be similar to hyperlapse with motion blur

How do I export a video to be viewed through VR Goggles on a phone?
Hi Townsville. All you have to do is export the video as a 360 video. In Insta360 Studio, make sure you are in the "View" tab (not Freecapture tab), then export your video. It will be exported as a 360 video. Then use a VR viewing app on your phone to view the video. Do you have an iOS or Android phone?
@@360vroomers Hi, thanks so much for your reply. I'm at my wits end. It's for use on an android phone. I imported the .insv file into Premiere pro and strung a few clips together. When I exported I made sure the VR check box was checked. I uploaded to TH-cam and it's playing as a 360 video, however when I try and play it on the KM VR player on the Samsung phone and view with XCD VR goggles, it is glitching or freezing on one frame and not playing through. Any advice? Is the file size too large perhaps?
@@MandaGolingi it might be, depending on ur phone specs. Try using the youtube app to view the youtube upload. That may be easier for your phone

I've spent a lot of time learning photography and filming 360, watching your videos, The 360 Guy, Ben Claremont, TravelPedia 360 and many others. The greatest difficulty in learning is not in the 360's practice and in the handling of equipment, but rather in the workflow, especially with regard to seams, corrections and what programs to use. In this context, regarding this your video and the software Insta 360 studio, I ask: (I am using the camera Mi sphere)
- When exporting the final file, a metadata error appears - Should the metadata injection (use Spatial Media Injector) be done in the camera source file or after sewing in the Mi Sphere Camera app (PC)? Still doing both ways, the error follows.
- I could not enable the Aplicction - Lock Direction functions and no other functions below (not enabled). Are these functions only available for the Insta camera?
Thank you
Thanks Eduardo. Here is the mi sphere workflow:
1. Use mi sphere camera app on phone or desktop to stitch.
2. If you want to convert the 360 video to overcapture, you can do that with insta360 studio. Studio will not add stabilization -- it is only for converting. Stabilization is via mi sphere app in step 1.
3. To combine several 360 videos or several non360 videos, use a video editor.
Pls let me know if you have any questions.
Here are clickable time points that viewers can use to instantly jump to specific parts of your tutorial:
03:25 - Using the Insta360 One X Studio desktop application
03:38 - Changing the various views of photos/videos (Asteroid, Crystal Ball, Fisheye, Perspective, Equirectangular)
04:01 - Stabilization Modes: FlowState Stabilization keeps the scene always pointed in the same direction. Lock Direction keeps view pointed in the direction of the camera lens.
05:32 - Export video
05:45 - Take snapshot of a scene
07:21 - Editing in Free Capture mode (skips the stitching process which yields better quality output)
08:54 - Pan camera, choose view
10:18 - Moving keyframes to different positions
10:39 - Controlling transitions
11:42 - Export file
11:55 - Don't have time to edit? Shortcut to making over capture videos

i am sorry that new version is below the old version
Yes it is kind of confusing why they did that... i'll ask them to remove the old one. :)
Too bad Insta360 Studio is missing some key features - 1) Impossible to edit more than one video clip at a time - FAIL 2) No Time Shifting Editing or color correction either - All the iOS features should be in the desktop app but they are missing.
Hi Touchwood. To be fair these are unusual features. Only one 360 cam desktop app i know can edit multiple videos: Virb 360 and you can use Virb Edit for free even with One X. As for timeshift and color correction, the only 360 cam desktop that offers it afaik is rylo but it is only for mac. I think insta will add timeshift in the future.
Skip to 3:20 and avoid the waffle at the beginning.
This app for PC is bullshit. Most of the features dont work. trying to upload, 99% of the time it freezes and the app needs to be closed. Im using a Surface pro 4 and Note 8
One other question I have. You tout this workflow as a NO stitch option...and/or it is unnecessary to stitch the file. When you 'export' the file...isn't it being automatically stitched together? Otherwords, how could you get those 360 views without some sort of stitching during the export process?
Hi Checkered Flag. By no-stitch editing, it means that you can go straight to editing without stitching it first. Instead, stitching occurs during export, on an as-needed basis. For example, if you use only a 30 second segment from a 10 min video, it will stitch only that 30-sec segment. Even though it is not stitched until export, you do get to see the 360 view while editing, just as if it had already been stitched.
