REFRAME 360 Video - FX Reframe Tutorial [GoPro MAX + Adobe Premiere]

[@MOTOBLADE]

Just ordered a Max to take my skiing, flying, and motorcycle videos to the next level. I can't get enough of your tutorials. I want to get the "max" out of my new camera and your videos are the best in the world. Thanks for all the great content and tutorials!

[@jacobdickey4181]

Oh thank jebus. I'm dropping an hour's worth of Fusion footage into a documentary over the next two weeks, and the new plugin looks like it's going to save me LOADS of time. Lens distortion removal AND xy offset built in!? I could kiss you guys right on the mouth. Thanks for pushing to get us these features!

[@slammed]

Trying to get back into 360 video, Premiere, and reframing after taking a 5 year break and this was exactly what I was looking for. Great video !!!!

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Thanks for the tutorial! Just picked up the Max for a snowboard trip to Switzerland and can't wait to make some edits!

[@kcsnowboarding5592]

Yo Kevin!!!!!!

[@VictorandMJ]

Wow!! Mind blowing how much easier this is. I've been spending hours on doing cuts on my 360 footage! Thank you for such an amazing tutorial!

[@biconguy]

WOW! At long last an explanation of how to use my GoPro Max to make interesting videos that I can post on social or use simply for my own pleasure. This was the video that provoked me to even purchase the camera nearly two years ago. Now I feel as though I can add something to the videos I've shot during that period of time! Thanks so much for the tutorial! I have a lot more to learn, but this video will be of tremendous value in that process.

[@Cascadiaclassic]

Ack! Thank you! Found your video because the old VR reframe plugin for my Fusion wouldn't work in the newer version of Premiere. HUGE help to see this and it looks like using FX is so much better than VR ever was.

[@RoboCat1]

Awesome video! My grandma told me she was really great friends with you mom! That is how I found your channel! Keep up the good work!

[@omenworks]

Man you are solo reason I just ordered GoPro Max. Awesome content. Keep those tutorials coming :)

Very interesting video. Can you tell if a plugin will come for FCPX ?

[@LukeBredar]

Thanks Abe, hard to find a comprehensive tutorial that isn't crazy long... this was just right.

great, the thing I haven't found out yet is how to combine 360 files and export into a single longer 360 video

[@MariusGerome]

15:46 I found myself coming back to this part of the video over and over again, like 5 times since the video launched. I always forget the number: 70! Linear = 70!

Does the GoPro FX Reframe plugin support creating tiny planets? The poster frame for this video seemed to suggest that it does, but the tutorial itself didn't talk about this feature at all. Thanks for any insights for this new 360 camera owner here!

So glad to see these updated plug-ins 🤙 my Fusion and I thank you and the GoPro Team 😎 amazing 2.0

[@MrCapediver]

Abe, great video.....always waiting for your feedback with new products from GoPro! Please Please Please....go right back to the beginning and show us how to get files from the Max onto your computer and then the magic of the new GoPro Player to either produce 360 or reframed "flat" videos....that part seems a bit confusing right now as Quik does not seem to work and doesn't transfer the .360 files over.... BTW what version of Premiere Pro did you use...the new 2020 version has problems with both the old VX as well as the new FX plugins....I have had to remove the older versions and the new FX one gives low level exceptions....I would imagine GoPro/Kolor will update FX....its really powerful but only works nicely in PP 2019.... Anyhoo, shot for the lessons!

[@abekislevitz]

MrCapediver I’m about to release a blog post that shows that flow but I just use an SD card reader and copy files into a folder normally. And then you just open the .360 file in GoPro player an go to file > export. That’s it n

[@MrCapediver]

@@abekislevitz Thanks Abe, do you know if GP will be release an update to Quik to do this or maybe update the new GoPro Player to handle the transfer? Coming from Fusion, its been a bit of a battle to deal with the new file format...and TBH the stitching really needs improving...holding thumbs for firmware and app updates...oh and remote control .....

[@abekislevitz]

@@MrCapediver There will be no update to Quik. Player might get an importer. not sure. the new file format should be much easer, the only files you need to keep are the .360 if shooting 360.

[@Best360]

This answered a lot of questions for me. Thank you! I was wondering whether you can help us GoPro MAX owners with something else too. Lots of us are getting a bad stitch line at the nadir when it's at close proximity to the mount. Do you have any best practices for a more seamless stitch line? Thanks in advance!

[@abekislevitz]

Best360 - Shanil Kawol yes, that is being worked on on GoPro’s end but in the meantime longer extensions will help, I’m sure you’re aware. A software fix will be released to help footage already shot and further improvements will be made over time.

[@videochemist]

I leant so much from this video, thank you! You not only covered all the main settings, but also threw in a bunch of invaluable tips I never would have considered. Although I'm still curious what the "source operations" drop down is for. I get that yaw, pitch, etc. are just alternative words for the standard words used for camera movements, but I still haven't been able to find a tutorial which explains what this additional menu is used for.

[@abekislevitz]

Two things - if you’re editing in 360, you’ll want to adjust source rather than the pan tilt rotate because those won’t do anything if you have projection on source. Secondly, if your 360 renders out not straight or level, the source operations can tweak the baseline orientation so that the next layer of pan tilt rotate are oriented correctly.

[@videochemist]

@@abekislevitz You're an absolute legend Mr. Kislevitz. Thank you. So glad I found your channel. I've only just started shooting and editing 360, but when I'm good enough to eventually produce something worth sharing, I'll drop you a link. Peace.

[@nerkz_]

I know this is an older video, so sorry for the late comment, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a way to direction lock with this plugin? I'm using an Insta360 RS and their app suggested using this plugin, but it's a little annoying having it slowly drift while I'm playing footage to determine next keyframe adjustments. 😄Even so, this video helped me so, so much.

[@vladoperic236]

Great video, I do have one question though. Is there a Prores codec for Windows? Because, when I want to create equirectangular file from the .360 file in Windows, the export settings don't offer Prores codec, only CineForm, HEVC and H.264 codecs. CineForm is apparently the one that gives the best quality, but is it better than the Prores picture quality that you get on a MAC? Thanks in advance.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🎥 The video introduces the GoPro FX Reframe plugin for Adobe Premiere, designed for reframing 360 content. 01:07 📐 360 content needs to be converted into an equi-rectangular pro res format for editing in Premiere. 02:58 💻 The plugin allows for various output resolutions, such as 16:9 or social media formats, maintaining the reframing adjustments. 05:34 🔄 The GoPro FX Reframe plugin offers controls for pan, tilt, rotate, lens curve, and zoom to reframe 360 content. 16:14 ⏲️ Keyframes in Premiere can be adjusted for smooth motion between frames using continuous Bezier curves. 19:06 🎞️ Nesting clips in Premiere is recommended for handling different frame rates and applying speed ramping adjustments. 21:13 📱 You can easily export reframed content for different frame sizes, such as Instagram stories, without losing quality. 22:36 🖌️ Fine-tuning adjustments can be made when exporting to different frame sizes to ensure the best composition.

[@mattbackvass]

This is great, thank you. Got a question though. Is there any way there can be a sort of " Vr headset Mouselook" style recording to apply keyframes? Specifically, say, in the same manner that the mobile device 'overcapture' mode would work, where you could simply point while recording to continously change the point of view ? I am looking at doing things with a motorcycle on track, and it is very difficult to effectively do this with keyframes as easily as it is to simply aim the phone where i am looking during overcapture. It would be incredible to have a plugin to allow, say, the accelerometer output of the vr headset to do this same thing..

[@justindersham]

Great tutorial Abe, thanks for posting. I have been on the horn with support from GoPro about an issue I'm having with Premiere 2020 while using this plugin and they can't seem to find a fix. I keep getting "GoPro FX reframe (AEVideoFilter: 1) a low-level exception occurred" every time I reopen a project I've worked on. The only solution I've found online is to open a new project which would mean starting over completely. Do you know about this issue and do you know of any fixes for it? Thanks for your time and hard work on this tutorial!

[@AfricatwinJK]

Hi Abe, it is really helpful for me as beginner to see this tutorial. However, I have reframed some of my footage direction in the GoPro App and then transferred it for further cutting into Premiere. I came to the conclusion that it is quicker to work on an IPAD with the App instead of the Premiere FX. I am aware that you can do more things with the GoPro FX Reframe in Premiere but in terms of speed it seems to me that the combination of the GoPro App with Premiere is easier for me as beginner. Are there any other disadvantages of this approach of which I might not be aware? In particular as Windows user and as long as GoPro does not offer the GoPro Player for Windows I do not really see a quicker way of doing it.

Thanks for the excellent tutorial and demo. I'm a newbie and have a question. Is there a way to lock the default view to the camera orientation instead of the inertial frame? I have an Insta360 One X mounted at the front of my motorcycle tank and want the dominant view to be of the instrument console and through the windshield (the front camera view), while occasionally cutting (and overlaying) to me and other views. Is there a way to set this in the plugin or do I need to have an extra export step from Insta360 studio to produce the equirectangular video with locked orientation? Without locked orientation, editing is such a chore because I continually need to change the orientation with keyframes throughout the video as my superbike turns through corners. Also, does it provide any ability to automatically follow an object in the view by continually changing the orientation as it moves through the frame? Show less

[@FilipLunt]

Hello Abe! Does the motion blur part of the plug in work with say a hero 9? So basically, can you add motion blur after the fact to a clip filmed without the shutterspeed set to double the frame rate?

[@5MadMovieMakers]

Absolutely legendary! Hope it works with Fusion as well. Is it possible to use motion-tracking on these shots in After Effects? Previously to center a 360 camera on a marble, I had to manually export a 2D rectangular video before fine-tuning the motion tracking, but maybe now I can do it all straight from the original file. Also would be really neat if users could "film" a shot with a VR headset or phone accelerometer while looking at 360 footage.

[@abekislevitz]

5MadMovieMakers it definitely works with fusion (any equirectangular source). As for motion tracking that’s a very good question. I’ll look into it, but you might have to get tricky with expression relations

[@5MadMovieMakers]

Got it, thanks. Looking forward to using this with Fusion in the future
