How to Reframe 360 Videos in Davinci Resolve

[@JamieMilkz]

Dude, you gave the best tutorial online - no gimmicks or cheeky puns - just to the point. You didn't waste any of whatever life I have left on this planet instead you edu-ma-caited me 👍

[@lincolas5310]

Haha thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

[@redlaurieyellow]

absolutely spot on tutorial video. no shouting, no nonsense! thank you!!

[@lincolas5310]

Glad you liked it!

[@Farhad2010]

the most detailed and concise video among others using 360 videos in Davinci, thank you.

[@lincolas5310]

Glad it helped!

[@AcusticoImaginar]

Perfeito!!!

[@HereAfterBilliards]

Finally got my Insta360 X3 and got around to installing Karta in Davinci. Everything worked well except it took me a few minutes to figure out that after you install the plugin you have to shut down Davinci one time because the effect wasn't populating in the Effects List. After I shut it down and went back into the program the effect was exactly where you said it would be. Thanks again for this video. By far the best explanation on how to get this going

[@lincolas5310]

Thanks so much! I will update the description

[@dennisschullerjr1720]

By far, the best tutorial I have found explaining this whole process from beginning to end. With bonus material at the end of the video to make me a better creator. Tyvm. Cheers

[@lincolas5310]

You're very welcome!

[@emgonzo]

Excellent tutorial. Straight to the point with no time wasting.

[@lincolas5310]

Happy to hear!

[@HereAfterBilliards]

Thanks man. There's a few videos out there talking about this subject matter but this would be the video I recommend people watch because it's clear and concise. Cheers brother.

[@lincolas5310]

Thanks so much! I always try to make my tutorials as easy to follow as possible!

[@gsxrunit]

100% agree he took a teachers approach making sure the whole class can follow! Plus the other videos don’t really cover Mac or give detailed explanations like he does. I’m finally going to give this a try again . And I’m subscribed and look forward to future videos 🦾

[@lincolas5310]

Very intuitive and we'll explained, thanks!!!

[@WolfaRiio]

Nice! TY! Noob question. What happens if you put the timeline frame rate to 60 fps instead?

[@lincolas5310]

Not sure but I think it plays the video back in 1/2 speed

[@fabiocusimano3200]

the best video about using 360 videos in Davinci, thank you

[@raularteaga]

Your video is great, but I still can't figure out how to make it work. My menu at 1:37 does not include the option "Create new Timeline". I would appreciate any help!

[@lincolas5310]

Hmm thats odd. Be sure you are right clicking in the circled area. You can also try doing "command + n" to get to the timeline popup.

[@cplg2111usmc]

If your using windows I don't think we have that option. I'm having the same issue.

[@CringeworthyOverland]

Amazingly comprehensive tutorial, and very well explained from beginning to end!

[@Jose.Ferreira]

Awesome tutorial! Your clear instructions make reframing 360 videos in DaVinci Resolve look so simple and effective. Keep it up! 🎥✨ Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@Paulthe360fan]

great video. I am relatively new to Video editing my Insta360 x4 video. you answered a lot of questions about key frame use and making them smoother. thx

[@TheMercilessMelb]

Legendary tutorial, thank you sir!

[@YohanNaz]

Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial, so far this is the only way I've seen to reposition and edit 360 footage from a Ricoh Theta Z1.

[@ericcoopersomatics]

This is the one I've been looking for. Thank you. I've had to go back to this video a few times, adding chapters would be helpful. Excellent teaching.

[@lincolas5310]

Thank you! I also added chapters! Thanks for the suggestion 😀

[@AlmirOsmanovic]

short and to the point. Well done. I'm just starting out on Davinci and needed a little tutorial on how to do this.

CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THIS VIDEO

[@lukasz070485]

Oh mannnnn you deserve all the likes in the world. Make more tutorials please!!!

[@peterturnbull9599]

Thanks for the video. I am however having an issue with resolution. I have put the same clip side by side in the timeline and put the effect on one. The resolution drops considerably. Is it just me or is this an issue with Karta. I am using the latest version of DaVinci Resolve Studio. A clip I finished and exported at high res looks good on a phone screen, acceptable on an iPad but not on anything larger. Any suggestions? Cheers

[@lincolas5310]

There is a bit of a quality decrease. I have experimented and there is nothing we can do about it. I think it is an issue with the Karta VR software. The best way to hide this is to zoom out a bit so the frame includes more pixels

[@pericleslewnes6875]

Hey there. Is the KartaVR plug-in still available? I really want to use your amazing tutorial (It is GREAT!) But I can't find KartaVR to download anywhere. The listed link returns an error.

[@lincolas5310]

Hmm thats odd. I just checked and the link works fine for me. www.steakunderwater.com/wesuckless/viewtopic.php?t=3067 here is the link again hope it works!

[@nalladimmukalyan5475]

Thanks Lincolas!! I was waiting to see how you edit. Thanks for the video buddy!

[@lincolas5310]

A bunch of people were wondering how I reframe so I decided to make a video on it. Hope it explains the process well!

Bravo! best tutorial about reframing 360 ​​files in davinci! tks

[@lincolas5310]

Glad you think so!

[@Lliamhd]

Thanks a lot for this video! I do need to do this for every new project, or just once and done? Also I've seen another video where the author was like "oh yeah click ALL the KartaVR stuff", which doesn't seem to be needed, your video is a lot more helpful pinpointing it down to just the one.

[@lincolas5310]

You have to create a new timeline like I showed in the video for all projects unfortunately

[@cplg2111usmc]

Do you have a link to that video? I just want to cross reference

[@ARMWRESTLINGWHISPERER]

Hey this video is finally the one that helped me a lot. Will I be able to export my footage from insta 360 in log mode? That way I can color correct in DaVinci or is that not an option

[@lincolas5310]

Yep that’s exactly what I do! Shoot in log and then reframe and color grade in Davinci!

[@TSPDX333]

Excellent advice and flow. Worked perfect for me first time and your delivery is very much appreciated. Keep on going! This plug-in opens a whole new virtual world for me in my projects.

[@lincolas5310]

Thanks! I agree, the plugin allows for so much creativity!

[@clemens681]

great video! is it still possible to edit other footage, like normal camera videos, in the same timeline with the 360 cam footage tho? thanks!

Yep! The timeline works for all footage!

[@TheHappyBiker900]

I have been searching for a video on this topic that is clear, easy to follow but still full full of detail and tips. You nailed it sir, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this.

[@lincolas5310]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@RobertWildling]

Thank you fro this to-the-point tutorial! Top quality! A question if I may: At 2:34, where you export the video, there is a "Davinci Settings" set at "Preset Parameters" - what are they?

[@lincolas5310]

I made an export preset named "Davinci Settings" so that every time I export a video, I don't have to manually switch the export settings. The preset exports the clip in 4k and checks off the "remove grain" box. I'm not entirely sure if the remove grain helps get better quality but I leave it on anyways. Hope this helps!

[@MrIrishpc]

This is a really great tutorial, thank you, I have one ? tho......Let's say you have your raw 360 video and you reframe it as shown above.....What are the render or export settings to keep the framing target but the video to still be 360, that way When I fire the video up in VR it is reframed and I can still look around?!!! Any advice would be awesome!

[@lincolas5310]

I have not experimented with VR so I do not know how to do that. Sorry!

[@setodanu]

Thank you for this simple guidelines.😊

[@benas664]

This is exactly what i was looking for. Real time saver you are. Thanks!

[@lincolas5310]

Glad it helped!

[@alan_flynn]

Great video! One question: Am I understanding you correctly that the resolution of the 360 video in the free version of Davinci Resolve is lower than in 360 studio? (4k instead of 5.7k?)

[@lincolas5310]

The quality is slightly worse but I am not sure if it is because of the 4k timeline resolution instead of 5.7k. I recently purchased the Studio version of Davinci Resolve and it allows me to make custom timeline resolutions. When making a 5.7k timeline, the quality was pretty much the exact same as the 4k timeline. Not sure what the issue is (it may just be an issue with Karta VR) but the footage quality is still fairly high.

[@DennisJoeken]

thumbs up for this tutorial. Thanks a lot.

[@BreckSnowPro]

Thanks for the tutorial! I intend to put this to use shooting ski vids and moving the frame to different people around me while we are all skiing down the hill together. I have not tried it yet. But you make the process look easy enough! Do you think a similar workflow would work for X3 vids shot in Me Mode? I'm not sure if those files are 1/2 of a sphere, but I know they are not the full 360 sphere. Also, do you know if it is possible to have Resolve 18 stitch the files from the two lenses together? Or is Insta360 Studio necessary for this step? Thanks again!

[@lincolas5310]

Sadly, Intsa360 Studio is needed to stitch the two halves of the video together. For your Me Mode question, I don't think the camera is shooting a 360 video however I do not know for certain as I do not own an X3. To test this, try importing a Me Mode video into Insta360 Studio and see if you can reframe it. Have fun making ski videos with your camera! I just went on a ski trip and got some cool footage!

[@IsaacRC]

Yep that's the way to go, good quality material, thanks!

cheers mate. what if i want colorgrade my 360 video without keyframing and just export the same 260 degree video to watch it in a VR glass? whatever i do it always either export only 1 view direction. or it exports a 360 version which cant be viewed in VR.

[@lincolas5310]

Hmm I have never tried using 360 video for VR. Sorry I can’t be more help!

[@NicheBurton]

An amazing free work around to not having Premier Pro and not being able to use 'reframe'.

[@lincolas5310]

Agreed! With this plugin, Davinci Resolve is equal or better than Premier in my opinion!

[@ravenseyeimages]

Great video, I've been playing with the new insta360 studio that has project option to join clips, but it's sadly lacking a lot of things, one of them being joining 2 or more clips so they are one clip - can this be done in Resolve timeline with these clips/plugin? My goal is to join 2 or more clips together of a nature scene and then have the reframe pan very slowly so it does a single 360 turn in the length of the video. Trying this in insta360 Studio is almost impossible because you can't span 2 clips with keyframes, and having the 2nd clip start off exactly where the first left off is almost impossible. Joining the clips would solve this. I was going to export the 16x9 reframed clips then bring into resolve and try & meld the clips seamlessly, but this sounds like a better option. update - if you are going to merge 360 clips in Resolve into a new compound clip, do it before you drag the effect onto your clip, otherwise it won't work properly.

[@wingtracer]

I have all the .360 exports... do I need to re-load those into inssta360 to export as .mov, or is there another tool?

[@TechnoViel]

Thanks for this tutorial, super helpful and efficient! Are you aware of a way to avoid the Insta360 Studio conversion step? This is not only cumbersome, but also supported on less systems than Davinci Resolve (e.g. Windows on ARM).

My only gripe is, keyframing isn't the only thing the Insta Studio app is for which makes the Karta plugin pretty basic.

[@Ebibby408]

Can you do this as a vertical resolution for social media?

[@A1Bokeh]

sweet. you should do a video about why you think its better than the insta app or program

[@lincolas5310]

I mostly use the app to review footage while I am out shooting. Another thing I like about the app is to preview the exposure on my phone because the screen is much bigger. For reframing though, I prefer the desktop app.
