Insta360 X3 Tutorial: How to Make THE BEST Time Lapse Videos

[@JerryRomineStocks]

Another great video. Thank you.

[@duane_rdjhs021]

Very helpful tips. Thanks for this wonderful video, Jordan.

[@KanedaJones]

the ground around skyscrapers is great for time lapses so that you see the sundial effect that happens with the skyscrapers present

[@JaimeTorres-ow2fr]

Thanks for making this tutorial. I just got my x3 for a trip and this video was VERY helpful! Keep up the great work!

[@ColonelBlair]

Another option with shooting in interval mode is exporting the video with your phone using shotlabs starlapse mode - you can change to a regular time lapse within that mode and still export in 4k

[@djtroymichael5372]

great tips ...much mahalo!

[@robs3557]

Great job! Thanks

Great tuitorial

[@edilsonfaberruizrivera7262]

Thanks Jordan , great tutorial.

[@fillpotadventures]

Just got my X3 and heading to Las Vegas! I'm sure to get some cool time lapses there. Thanks for the video and the great tips!

[@didja]

KEʻANAE is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to I did a time lapse on my drive to Hana. I can't wait to try wit my Insta 360 X3 when I get back!

[@DaviddoesStuff]

Have you stumbled across a better option for a USB cable? Maybe a short cable with a 90° on each end.

[@jwellsntr]

Great video! Thanks for these tips. I can't wait to try it.

[@meditationdaily1129]

these sweet slow subtle movements within the timelapse, do you need to do some extra editing to get this effect say in davinci or so or is it included with the insta software?

[@aliather]

Amazing video thanks for the tutorial! BTW this place is so beautiful! Where is this?

[@EpicOwl2717]

I'm buying your book. If your book is as useful as your videos, then the books got to be epic.

[@jagatsemesta99]

It work. Thank you dude

[@tylermartin4673]

Great video! Thank you for the tips

[@JordanHetrick]

You're very welcome and I appreciate your comment! Happy that you enjoyed it!

[@ajaj8398]

Thanks for making this video. Really helpful. I had a query however . When I take time lapse videos in car or bike , after the recording is over I see that the video keeps rotating around? How to avoid that if I just want to keep the look ahead functionality only

[@KingCobbones]

I've experienced the same thing. Have you found a solution?

[@ajaj8398]

So what I realised is , there is this option of time lapse and time shift. On a moving object it’s better to use time shift option and in a stationary object use time lapse

[@KingCobbones]

@@ajaj8398 Thanks, I'll give it a try.

[@Rob-g7f]

I have a insta 360 x 4 , can you pre set a time for a time lapse. Like 8:00 am to 10:00 am ?

[@yeswap57]

You mentioned blowing over… I drilled holes in 2 of the feet so that I could use tent pegs to anchor it to soft ground

[@mxprogression]

Good idea 👍🏻

[@JordanHetrick]

That will work for sure!

[@larryoslund]

Great video Jordan - I am looking to use the Insta360 for a 24-hour unsuppoted bike record attempt. The requirement is to video time lapse in 1 sec range. Obvioulsy this would require me to carry a Battery bank with me. What size battery bank would be required to keep the 360 going for 24-hours? Also how large would a 24-hr time lapse video be (with 1 sec time). What size card would I need? Thanks in advance

[@pilotgundul]

I start 100% When finished at 78 minutes, my battery is 68%. You can do the math for that 24hours :) Oh by the way i use 8K/2s

[@360.O.A.Videos]

Thanks !Top video ! Greetings from Europe . 🎉🎉

[@JordanHetrick]

You're welcome!! Thanks for the comment and have a wonderful day in Europe.

I just bought my insta 360 yesterday. your video help me a lot Jordan. thank you so much. keep posted tutorial :)

[@JordanHetrick]

Nice! Congrats on the new camera. I'm happy the tutorial helped you get started!

If i want to record Growing plants can i ? If i use extra power source how long can i record continually. Without turn off.

[@smellard63]

Sorry if it covered somewhere, but how do you protect this camera from overheating when outside taking an extended shot for a few hours.

[@johnnyc.5979]

It shouldn't overheat. It's basically taking only still images, not video.

[@landonrasmussen4910]

I love my Insta360 X3. The majority of my shots will probably be when I'm scuba diving. However, I also want to do some cool time-lapse videos. I want to learn how to edit doing a fast time lapse on the beach, then slow down to normal speed, then speed up again. Can I edit this on the app or the Insta360 studio, or do I need another editing software?

[@JordanHetrick]

Hi, You can create this effect for shorter duration time lapses using the Time Shift tool in either the Insta360 App or in Insta360 Studio. Just record regular video and speed up segments in the app. I hope that helps!

[@photomithra]

Hi - great tutorial - One question - can I register the same insta360 device on two different phones?

[@JordanHetrick]

Yes, you can.

[@siddhartha_1]

Thanks for the video. Never thought of a clamp before but that looks like a great thing. I got a new x3 after my gopro max blew over and shattered a lens... I'm realizing that with the x3, timelapse must be stationary, unlike the gopro max that will do stabilized 360 timelapses. So I guess if you want a 360 timelapse walking, for example, you'd need to take regular video and then speed it up later while editing. Is that right? Cheers!

[@bryanvaldez1]

Use hyperlapse option.

[@isthislifethisis16]

It’s not hyper-lapse, there are 2 time shifting modes one is time-lapse and time-shift mode. you want to select time shift mode to get the stabilized sped up video you’re looking for

[@isthislifethisis16]

This video describes the difference you’re looking for

[@wearetrackclub]

Solid tips! Love how you edited this too :)

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@amosjsoma]

Does the Insta360 X3 work in the direct sun only in the HDR mode? I tried to make a time-lapse video using your instructions, the camera was in the direct sun, but everything was washed out. I've experienced the same thig just trying to make a regular video. I bought your book but it says nothing about that and I haven's seen anything about it in all the tutorial videos I've watched. Thanks for your help.

[@ColonelBlair]

It'll work but you may need to play with the manual settings, and best to keep the sun hitting both lenses equally so you don't get a bad stitchline

[@Bailey.465]

Is this camera good for night timelapses? Things like star trails, moon, city lights, nighttime car movement. I just bought the Hero 11 today and am really considering switching. Like really considering after seeing this video. Just thinking about the movement of the video.

[@santinag]

How can I get a physical copy of your book? Amazon won’t ship to Australia 🇦🇺

[@ladyintheskyuk]

This is so good for me. I bought mine today ☺️ So very helpful. Thank you.

[@offtothenextadventure]

Insta360 desktop app is different from the phone or tablet apps?

[@PastelKenshi]

Yes and better results

[@Time2meat]

i want to capture sunrise should i use auto or manual? i’m afraid if i use manual it might be too exposed when the sun come out ! I’m new to camera

[@JordanHetrick]

It's easiest to go with Auto for a sunrise to allow the camera to adjust for the increasing light.

[@judyfleming310]

Aloha Jordan. Kevin here, also from Maui. I'm a standup paddleboarder and soon to be Onewheeler. How do you deal with salt mist/air?

[@croenan]

What about the sun? Won't it burn or damage the sensor?

[@mcd3]

sabes si ya tiene GPS en el timelapse de 8k?

[@PAUL21995]

Hi Just a point when you set resolution to 8K you cant use your phone app to view and edit the footage

[@MrEmolkov]

Мужик / я думаю ты меня не поймешь на Русском языке . но я тебя понял на все 100% спасибо . классные фишки ты мне показал , буду применять !! удачи .

[@MrZiemnior]

What is the battery life during timelapse?

[@markcain8683]

Was thinking about buying the X3, but I can't get a clear answer on how long of a video can it take with a 1tb card while externally powered. I do a lot of hiking and would like to know more on the vide time limits. I can't find any details on their website. Do you have any advise?

[@PastelKenshi]

Get it try it if it’s not what you want you can still sell it or keep it for it’s other used

[@damagedtile]

Can anyone help me with this? When I get to the point of EXPORTING its mentioned that setting the resolution i try and enter ie 3840 into the first window but the second window brings up a huge number, never does it self populate with the 2160 anyone know what I am missing here?

[@JordanHetrick]

Hmm. I'm trying to figure out why it would do that, but I've never seen that happen. Maybe you should try reinstalling Studio.

[@RonniesRambles]

May be unrelated but that was happening to me and I went in circles with it, I don't know what I did but I tried again and suddenly realised I was in 9:16 aspect so I entered in the second text box and it filled the first. In my case it was definitely because I am a newbie to it all and stubbornly selt-teaching. ⚡🥴

[@meditationdaily1129]

have you tried star trails at night? :)

[@aorock747]

I just got my X3 yesterday and I just love it. I'm going to try to do some timelapse takes. Again, a great, informative and simple, step-by-step video. Greetings from China!

[@JordanHetrick]

Great! You're welcome. Have fun and make some amazing time lapses!

[@travelwilder]

my X3 keeps shifting positions like it keeps shifting frames from left to right and juggles around. when i do a timelapse, any idea why?

[@JordanHetrick]

That is strange. Are you editing on the Insta360 App or in Studio? It could have something to do with the Direction Lock setting.

[@bourdon845]

Intéressant

[@JordanHetrick]

Merci beaucoup!

[@Petia_Petrov]

Good

[@kianjae5537]

Took my X3 with me to watch the sunrise at the Haleakala Crater on Maui.. I followed all of your steps for a Sunrise Timelapse, and the video became so white & washed out by the time the sun had come out. I was filming for about an hour and a half, and the video was only 5 seconds long lol. Totally Unusable footage, guess I should have tested those settings first. I wish I had just used the automatic settings:( Especially bummed out because I’m on vacation and not sure when/ if I’ll be able to try this shot again.

[@JordanHetrick]

Oh man! That totally sucks to hear! I'm so sorry. I'm not sure what went wrong there, but if you used the Auto Shutter with 100 ISO, the camera should read the lighting and adjust as the sun rises. Also, a 2s interval should create about 90 seconds of video in 1.5 hours. So strange, and once again, I really apologize. I know how hard it is to get up there, how cold it is, and how much of a bummer it is to not get the shot.

[@grrmcj]

Is it possible to shoot a plant growth timelapse on x3 without harming the cam?

[@JordanHetrick]

It won't harm the camera to record long time lapses unless the camera gets wet while the side door or battery compartment is open.

[@deniss.6205]

How long does the battery last while doing time lapse?

[@TheAnimeist]

4:00 "Only a couple hours max"

[@deniss.6205]

@@TheAnimeist thank you

[@mathannagarajan9370]

Maximum time for the timelapse

[@joek81981]

I'm having difficulty with this camera's atrocious battery life. There's just no way my camera will be powered long enough for anything neat to happen. Brand new camera, a week old, with extra batteries in a bundle of three, and man, they all stink. If it isn't thermal shut down, then its just blowing thru the battery in like 20 miles of riding. I'm thoroughly disappointed with mine. Your shots are f**king sweeeeet, I tell you that.

[@ansarguborev4790]

Unfortunately, very poor quality, low dynamic range of the sensor.

[@watchervt1180]

sharpness bad idea for utube

Would be great to have a video for the interval setting too 🩷🩷 awesome video thanks
