How to REFRAME Insta360 X3 FOOTAGE with Insta360 Studio 2023

[@Yet_Another_Steve]

Before putting the camera in a pouch, case or using the silicone cover; I recommend covering the lenses with a lens cloth that's had a really good shake. Anything sliding over the lenses can cause scratches and a lens cloth reduces that risk - especially with the silicone cover.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thanks for sharing this tip!

[@margyg]

Yeah, I used the silicon cover twice & noticed it rubs across the lens every single time. Silicon also attracts dust like crazy. So a big no for me in using the silicon cover.

[@tomevans7567]

Great tip

[@asaslavs5823]

great tutorial thanks for sharing. do you have any material on how to reframe 360 photos?

[@thandavakrishna3749]

Beautiful video..Explained all details of editing so perfect.. The way you explained, gives clear idea even fresh editors of 360 videos.. Thank you so much.. I will shoot and ask you if I get any doubts..

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[@尼安德鲁-n6j]

Pretty good tutorial on Insta 360 editing, thanks

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thank you.

[@kellylee514]

Great info! I’m knew to all this. Waiting on my 360x3 to come. Hoping to figure it out before my Tahiti trip. Questions for you. When you copy it on to the computer does it automatically delete it from the SD card? When you export a clip does the original stay as is? I’m guessing it does or you wouldn’t be able to go back & create more clips. Why can’t you do manual color corrections? Did I miss that part? Most of my posting is done on Facebook. Is there a better way to save my work so it looks good on that platform? Or should I figure out how to post on say KZbin or something? Thank you! Great work

[@insaBordeNation]

Fantastic video! Thank you so much. Possibly the best one on Studio app. Bravo.

[@ErichWeaver-i8f]

A very clear, helpful tutorial. The pace is way too fast on many instructional videos, so that I have to backup over and over to absorb the content. Not this one, pace is perfect and it has a nice relaxed feel to it. Great job. After watching your Settings video and this one, I finally feel like I halfway know what I’m doing!

[@GreatDayForAHike]

I really appreciate your feedback and am glad you found the pace helpful.

Glad to hear and I appreciate your feedback.

[@PoetryFilms]

This is one of the best and most detailed videos on using the Insta360 x3 on KZbin. Many thanks. It answered a lot of questions. But I have one more: do you have a suggestion for how to rename video clips so they can be called up for future use? I tried to do it with individual clips but this caused the app (on Mac Os, at least) to see them as corrupted. There must be some solution but I haven't found it. In any case, many thanks again.

[@markexploringnewstuff]

Great overview. I’ve only used the IPad app but now I want to try the desktop program. Thanks so much for the walk thru.

Hi! Thank you for your work! I don't know why but I don't have any sound working in the insta360 studio. But the sound is working on the phone app.

[@chamilanawaratne6629]

Really informative. How can we mute (remove the original sound for the clip) the video?

[@kellylee514]

Do you happen to have any tips for snorkeling please? Thank you

[@GreatDayForAHike]

I have not used this camera for snorkeling before so I do not have any specific tips except for utilizing the function to lock the screen on the camera so that the water does not “push” on the screen and change settings.

[@BestFitSquareChannel]

hey you talk about putting your 360 clips inside a video editer, would you not want pro res to maintain the higest quality?your thoughts? Also can you tell me what resoultion do you choose in your timeline setting, i have the insta360 1inch camera, its 5.8k.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Check out this video for a quick outline of the settings I now use for the best upscale options in the Insta360 Studio App: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJeoq62bmcaioLcsi=d9CTl1xHGM9D7CXr Around 3:15 in this video.

[@kellylee514]

Great info. I’m new to all this. I thought I already asked this but now I don’t see it here. When you import files to computer does it automatically erase it from the SD card? When you create a clip and save it do you still have access to the original clip? I’m guessing yes. Why can’t you adjust the color, brightness etc on this app? Or can you? Thanks

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thank you. When you copy the files to the computer those files remain on the microSD card and are not erased unless you erase them directly or format the micrSD card which will also erase them. Yes, when you create a clip and save it you’ll still have the original to work with. The edits will be exported as a new clip. You can do some adjusting of color and other parameters in this app but it is limited.

[@reneklusek3917]

Very good overview! I have seen a lot of "how to guides" now, where most people changed the export resolution for their reframed clips from 1080p to 4K. Make this any sense? Do we really get an 4K export then?

[@kidsteenontvpuertorico1543]

Super, gracias mil por toda su informacion detallada y especifica, me ayudo mucho.

[@mitrutzots]

thanks, how to cut a part from the middle of the video and then how to paste the two resulting parts

[@iceduarte]

We just bought an Insta360 X3 and a 512GB card. After reframing on the PC or app, what do you do with the SD card? Do you format or buy another one to preserve your footage? Thanks for the video

[@GreatDayForAHike]

I usually store my footage on a hard drive after reframing it on a computer. I then reformat my microSD card after I have everything off it that I wanted to keep and have stored elsewhere.

[@garytrawinski1843]

Can you add multiple different clips together and then export them as one? I'm a total newbie and just got my camera a few days ago. Thanks,

[@GreatDayForAHike]

To my knowledge you cannot do that with this app. At least not yet.

[@ErichWeaver-i8f]

Other video editing apps like DaVinci Resolve have this capability. Also great for adding music and many other features.

[@digi-scope]

Brilliant video, i learned so much. One question, why not just export the full 360 video and reframe in premiere, wouldn't this be more intuitive when crafting that organic edit?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thanks! Yes, you could definitely do that. Not everyone has Premiere Pro but you can certainly do that if you do for a more cohesive editing experience.

[@digi-scope]

@@GreatDayForAHike I tried it last night but the source settings system of stitching only worked with 4k 360 footage I had shot, it had no effect on the 5.6k footage, anyone else have a similar experience?

[@mixflix2874]

Hi there i have watched and followed your videos on the 360X3 they are very easy to understand and informative I set my camera as your instructions. However when I publish them using Filmora 12 which i have used with my go pro hero 9 & my insta 360 go 2 the video is no as clear as i would like for instance if its moving and there is road surface or grass it seems to be fuzzy and not very sharp as lets say your videos. I find that I am not 100% happy with the camera, any suggestions where the problem may lie ? . Cheers Mick

[@mixflix2874]

Check out this video so you know what i mean kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIuyhYSGqrWFgLM Cheers Mick

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Great question. I checked out the video in 4K and overall it actually looks pretty good. Some of the fuzziness looks like it is the line where the lens overlap. The X3 does a pretty good job with hiding that line but it can be noticeable sometimes especially on certain elements in the frame. My other thought on this is check out what bitrate you are exporting your reframed footage as and then when you export from Filmora 12. For 4K I recommend using a bitrate of at least 50mb but not necessary to go any higher than 100mb if you’re uploading to KZbin. I generally do 58mb for my finished product based on the guidance from KZbin regarding 4K upload recommendations. Thanks for sharing and have fun!

[@mixflix2874]

@Great Day For A Hike Thank you for the constructive answer the next time I use it I will follow your advise and see If i can improve. Once again your tutorials are great you dont talk fast so the viewer can easily follow your instructions. Cheers Mix Flix.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

I appreciate it and hope you have fun. I love tinkering with cameras and getting the best out of them.

[@leemarvingaye4506]

Does Insta360 Studio works on a laptop? I don’t have desktop at home, I used tablet at home. Was thinking of getting a laptop for Insta360 Studio

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Yes, it will work on a laptop as long as that laptop runs a compatible operating system (newer versions of Windows or Mac OS should work fine) and as long as the laptop has sufficient specifications to run the program. I recommend looking up the recommended specs.

[@oleksandrartiushenko6852]

Original case that comes with camera has little opening for usb type C, so you can charge it/share files without getting it out of the case

[@unclejettchannel5340]

While editing the video clip, is there a way to delete the keyframe and start over? If not, do I need to delete the footage and import it back to start over again?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Great question. Yes click on the keyframe and you will see a delete icon/x. Click that to delete the keyframe.

[@unclejettchannel5340]

@@GreatDayForAHike Thank you for you reply. Yes, I saw that X the first time I used it. But when I used the program again, for some reasons, it's not there anymore.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

I see. I haven’t seen this specific issue before but yes I expect removing and reimporting the footage into the app would likely resolve this.

[@simeonsavchov1252]

Hey, how do you get rid of the selfie stick shadow ?

[@bondanoz]

can you reframe without the transition? like a jump cut, so it keeps one framing to a certain point and then jumps to the next without panning / transitioning.

[@gfdggdfgdgf]

Hardly ever mentioned anywhere but yes it's possible. I'm guessing you want to use it in a similar way as I'm using at, as a multicam source. In the desktop app under project Either use the keyframes set under media or set new keyframes in project, set your marker between 2 keyframes and then set keyframe transition to none. Selecting the right point to get the keyframe transition option is a bit hit and miss it seems but selecting the keyframe and then hitting play always seems to work. Having an option to set the default keyframe transition to none would save a lot of time though.

[@gavin.d.m]

Interestingly, I plugged my 360x2 into PC with correct cable, but nothing. It worked only with the Insta360 cable.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Some cameras are pretty picky about having the right voltage/amperage rated cable.

[@FxRiderST]

Hi. Can you cut out some parts in the middle of the clip?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Yes, this can also be done.

[@FxRiderST]

@@GreatDayForAHike Thanks. I maybe missed it in your video, but didn't see if you explained it there. If not can you please elaborate on it in few words? I just don't see this ability for it in Insta360, yet cutting out some parts is very important during the editing. Thanks.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

The desktop studio app does not directly support this but what you have to do is adjust the clip and make a cut and export for each section you want to keep at a time. In other words, you can cut the first clip and export, then remove your cuts from the first clip and cut a portion of the clip later on in the original clip and then export, etc. If you want a more direct way of doing this, the Insta360 app on a smartphone can be used and the jump cut feature is the way to do this. I typically make my reframe adjustments in the Insta360 Studio app and then export the larger clip. I then make my cuts later on in my main video editing software. I find this workflow to be quickest and easiest.

[@FxRiderST]

@@GreatDayForAHike Thanks! You would think that the Studio could have included this simple feature in it... that's strange they didn't do. Maybe next release... hopefully :)

[@bourdon845]

Cool

[@niels_9]

why does my insta 360 x3 have a mark after i export it?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

It is a logo of some kind? If so you may need to uncheck this option in the app when working with the footage (if the option is selected).

[@EsenbekAliev_]

Can you help please, I only have 3 options on the side no video editing and improving options like stabilization, I got the app from insta360 on my mac, can't edit any video, do you know why?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Are you using the app with footage captured on the Insta360 X3 or is it footage from a different camera?

[@EsenbekAliev_]

@@GreatDayForAHike yes, X3 I just bought it and wanted to test the 360 video editing

[@GreatDayForAHike]

So this software can be used with the functions I demonstrated but it’s not a full-blown video editing software. It’s largely meant for reframing footage to export and then fully edit in another video editing software.

[@EsenbekAliev_]

@@GreatDayForAHike Yeah, I get it, but still missing those features to stabilize and edit video before exporting into Premiere Pro for example

[@GreatDayForAHike]

I would say maybe try reimporting your clips and make sure everything gets grabbed when importing. I haven’t seen a situation where those options did not appear for me.

[@7777russ]

I don't think the studio 2023 lets you delete multiple sections of a video so I just start and stop recording multiple times and then just export the reframed video and turn them into one video using cyberlink.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thanks for sharing this feedback.

[@nycrider1548]

I have problem after finish editing (20 min long) Video and try export after 2% stop and video is only 2 min long 😢😢😢😢😢

Do you still have sufficient hard drive space? Is the program freezing up or just pausing at 2%?

[@nycrider1548]

[@seanissofresh]

I just got mine in the mail the other day. Installed the app, and got to the agreement accept section and stopped there. Started looking into permissions the app on android asks for and realized im not the only that took issue with what i saw there. All over the internet are posts about the apps on phone and computer both phone home a lot and have way too much access with permissions that are necessary to use the app, saying they can basically spy on eveything your computer does. But i notice so many people use and love this camera. Have you had any issues with your app and its permissions, or do you just accept and not bother? Is this a trust worthy company or should i just return this thing if im that concerned?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

This is a great question and a legitimate concern to consider for apps and the permissions granted to those apps by the end user. It looks like Insta360 explains the needed permissions here and in section 1.3 explains what the access to each permission is used for: www.insta360.com/support/supportcourse?post_id=20166 I recommend reviewing this and determining if you are okay with what is outlined here.

[@familienbram]

I am so annoyed about one thing, I cannot make "no-pan"/clip keyframes, where there is no slow panning, just an instant jump to another viewpoint. All this panning makes me dizzy, I would rather do instant view change sometimes.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Yes, I get what you're saying. It would be nice to be able to jump to a fresh perspective and not have to pan to it.

[@jannarkiewicz633]

So Insta360 gives a USB-A to USB-C cable in the box. Really? Not slagging "Great Day for a Hike" but dang, I spent $$$ on a camera and I was given a 10 year old cable.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

I expect maybe they do that to ensure the cable is fully compatible for customers that do not have a USB-C port on their computer, but yes I get what you’re saying. Would be nice to have a faster/newer USB-C to USB-C cable.
