I'm often asked how to get high quality footage with my Insta360 X4. While the X4 can shoot 8K, a big boost compared to other 360 cameras, there's still some steps you need to take if you want your videos looking as good as they can get.
This video takes you through my shooting and editing process; this is how I get the best out of my X4.

I would love it if you checked out my Ultimate Insta360 Video course here: bit.ly/3RAI40e I worked SUPER hard on it and there's now over 60 lessons. It really does teach you everything you need to know about how to use the X4 to its full potential. The discount code for my KZbin viewers is: ultimate20

What if i do everything like in this video and still have noise, color artifacts in shaded areas with my X4 at iso 100? Just basic info in this video, like clear your lens which is evident. Not a single word about ISO or color setting (standard, flat? which is better?) or about noise reduction in post - which hopefully will solve my issue, otherwise i will send my X4 back :(

[@ManTeybor]

I like the way you speak english. I'm asian and I'm not good in english, but I can understand every explanations that you say because you speak very clear and use a simple word. Thank you for this good video. I'm done subscribe..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Stunl3y]

Wont be getting the new Insta x4 till Xmas but this will see me right when I get it so thank you so much

[@jacobkan6034]

Great video.Thank you.One more thing to clearify about setting for color grading. Do you shot in standard mode or flat for color grading? Also,I want to know your opinion for shooting in doors and lower lighting situations like twilights.Insta doesn't recommend to shoot 8k30 or 5K+30 but some vlogers suggest that better to shoo 8K30 with ISO Auto upto 800max and manual shetter speed of 1/100 -1/200 range.What is your experience with it?Also,if it is better to shoot alway as widest option in settings?Thank you so much in advance.I would get ypur course later but I would be great to know those setting because I am on vacation in Europe and planning to visit museum and shoot with Insta360 x4 indoors but I guess Museum of Vatican will have good lighting

[@epos_rising]

Great video ! Is the X4 image quality better if you shoot with only one lense and do not do reframing ?

[@valliebear5706]

Just bought X4, and man I really thought it sucks till I saw this vid. Apparently I am using it wrong lmao. Thank you

[@DrunkPhotography]

It should be said that if you doubt the sunlight is overall lighting is the scene well, then you should not shoot in 8k!!! I made the mistake of not checking the settings in afternoon after shooting in completely sunny morning and if is not perfect out, the sensors take a dump on your video and you get a lot of noise. You have to go DOWN to 5.7K immediately if you don't have great sunshine. I have many videos where overcast came and the video is grainy because it is 8k.

[@YORZTV]

Please advise on HOW TO GO ON LIVE with facebook using Insta 360 x3? because i think to go live is no longer applicable? please help. ty

[@mice_cowski]

I’ve found that the phone app does a better job with the stitch line than the desktop app even with the various stitching options. Is there an ideal option or combination of options to use in the desktop app?

[@The360Guy]

You can manually adjust the stitching line in the desktop app

[@pablomaresca]

Excellent! I’ve been looking for differences between app and studio desktop and could find something useful. Thank you for your video.

[@ag360it]

useful tips! But people also thinks it must look great because of claimed 8K resolution. But 8K is only the equirectangular resolution and not the reframed video you watch on screen

[@listentotheanimalscreamsha1511]

I see videos on here in Esquire rectangular mode but. When I go to watch video it's blurry with no effect. Do you have to something in editing for the effect to show up or is it my computer?

[@larryryan6003]

I have had major problems with Version 5.2 freezing or closing while trying to edit in Project mode.

[@ScarmackProductions]

Just note, exporting in Pro Res is pointless unless it's shot in Pro Res. You don't gain anything by exporting in a better quality format than it was originally shot in. Just larger files

[@lasrocasent]

Am a dj and i was looking into the insta360 x4 but i want to know if that will be a good purchase since I work in low light environments? Do you think this can handle it? Thank you!

[@The360Guy]

Depends how much light it will get, even if artificial. I would hire one to try it out first

[@oleksandrgolovatyi8447]

Just dont. Stay with dji. Did that mistake

[@zenseekerEric]

Love your videos! This was very helpful. Thank you, 360 guy! 😁

[@The360Guy]

Glad to help!

[@royarismendez]

Great video, very helpful. Cheers!

[@officialrobertcenox]

Got x4 the versatility is insane from underwater to perfect no 360 video vlogs is not suitable at all for indoor footage . So if you planning do indoor is not the best option

[@bigbirdmusic8199]

It's perfectly fine indoors, unless your audience has as high expectations as you do (they dont)

[@jairogr993]

Hey nice videos. Thank you for your tips. I really loved the last video you posted in Athens. I was about to export a video after adjusting colours on CapCut but then once I upload it to KZbin it didn’t work as 360 degree video. I used the same settings as you mentioned here but did not work. How do you do it? Thank you! 😊

[@jeep4dirt]

your course is very helpful. what do u think about color plus in the studio software for color correction? also, for basic color correction do u believe capcut is better than final cut pro?

[@The360Guy]

Colour plus is fine if you dont want to download another program but super limited. Might aswell use capcut, it's free. Never used final cut pro!

[@georgetase3903]

i think clarity plus+dolby vision is the best way to go. then you can use capcut for adjustments

[@77fallencircus]

CapCut is nowhere near as good as FCP, and FCP is not as good as Premiere, Avid, or Resolve.

[@muserbellamy1140]

Hi did you use the log profile on camera or standard thanks

[@The360Guy]

Standard. Use LOG if you are confident in colour correcting or have a LUT

[@HansKeesom]

Took a X4 on a vacation. Great camera if you want to travel light. What I would however like is to have a 8K 180x180 module that I can use between the powered selfie stick and the X4 and control them as one

[@ZitroMoto]

Is it ok to export recorded H265 to H264 format?

[@the_elder_wand3845]

Hi! Thanks for this tutorial! If I were to post the final video on Facebook, what video quality should I export it from Capcut?

[@The360Guy]

Use thr same 4k 80mbps. However Facebook will reduce the quality

[@J_a_y18]

How do I take off the CapCut watermark when posting a video?

[@Saxman33]

Just purchased the course, forgot to check if it is for the x4 model?

[@The360Guy]

It's for the X4, X3, 1 Inch & 1RS. There's some content just for the X4

[@KevinLearAdventures]

WHAT !! - rubbish I’ve achieved better 360 x4 than anything from GoPro

[@oleksandrgolovatyi8447]

Insta 360 is times worse than my iphone. I am not scared. I am furious. Pure 600 dollar chineese shit. If single lens is enough- go with dji osmo. Shoot my kid waterpolo games with both and difference is tremendous.

[@anelliandrea]

@@oleksandrgolovatyi8447 From your comment I understood that you didn't understand the potential of this cam, go back to making videos with your smartphone or your GoPro, insta360 is at another level of creativity.

[@ManTeybor]

​​@@oleksandrgolovatyi8447just go back to your pond & making your shit video with your smart phone ,DJI,gopro or what ever F it is.. you're not worthy to use this advance technology..😂😂

[@MrAuditore96]

​@oleksandrgolovatyi8447 but how can you go about waterproof solutions? i wanna use it in a diving/snorkeling video

[@roninr8199]

​@@oleksandrgolovatyi8447these days it is very difficult to belive reviews because they get paid heavily. Pocket 3 is best with 1 inch sensor. Waiting for dji action 5

[@Ozpeter]

I've only just seen this. I have a few comments. First, X3 is officially 1440p reframed while the X4 is officially 2.7k - of course it does depend on how far the image is zoomed in, but those are the typical numbers that Insta360 state. Next, in the very few videos that have done side by side comparisons of the sharpness settings, it's evident that low sharpness is best avoided with this camera (unlike many) as the 8k 360 resolution is lost and the video looks worse than an X3 video. Yes, you can try to change sharpness when editing if you are really keen but many users are probably not into that. Lastly, yes Capcut is free for short videos but you have to pay if you want to go past 15 minutes. Cheers! [Edited to confess that actually I commented on this video a month ago. Old age of catching up on me ..]

[@bigbirdmusic8199]

You solved your own issue. Most people don't care about the extreme details. Not at all

[@DudeR15]

mine looks like 420p on 5.3k bruh

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

welcome to insta 360

[@Ozpeter]

As far as I am concerned, setting sharpness to low totally negates the advantage of the 8k 360 capture. There have been few careful side by side tests uploaded, but those I have seen make it very clear that low sharpness on this particular camera loses detail as well as sharpness, and it can't be recovered later. And as you imply in your introduction to this very helpful video, any 360 camera needs all the help it can get when reframing to lower resolutions. But having said that, I would concede that it is a matter of taste. But my taste is best, ho ho.

[@The360Guy]

Sure it's a matter of taste. I have mine set to medium, and I tested high and didn't like it

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

Bullshit, sharpness isnt sharpness its called noise, the camera will add noise to make the image look sharper, you should always select lowest setting and add sharpening in post because you cant take it away easily.

[@Ozpeter]

@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi Check out Philip Bloom's video on detail sharpness and noise. Three different things. They are interrelated because for instance increasing sharpness will add sharpness to the noise and make it more obvious. Sure you can add sharpness in post but many users will simply want to use the output of the camera as it is. With low sharpness with this camera, it doesn't look good as comparison videos have clearly shown.

[@bigbirdmusic8199]

It looks incredible you're just nitpicky

[@Cute_Maxi]

I tried all these steps... videos still look like they were taken on a flip phone from the early 2000's absolutely terrible

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

Hours of editing and trickery.... sad, why cant we have decent 360 cameras in 2024.

[@bigbirdmusic8199]

...we do. Youre just extraordinarily nitpicky
