I have no idea how this guy got this amount of knowledge and this range of skills. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Nobody else’s information is as detailed as his. Entertainment purpose only? No kidding. We can use his knowledge and skills for commercial purpose LOL. He is THAT good. Thank you so much. I’d appreciate it if you could explain a bit more on the difference between “equirectangular” and “equisolid angle” lenses, which 3D/360 cameras use which type of lenses, and how these lenses affect our video editing workflows. If we know which videos come from which type of lenses, theoretically we can edit any 3D(≈spatial)/VR180(immersive) videos regardless of the hardware from which they came.
Glad you find it helpful! We work in the film industry and commercial VR space - as a working professional, we do have industry knowledge. I am also an Emmy winning filmmaker. Our client including Meta, Google, X and ESPN. So we build solution that is never been done before in VR. I personally do not believe in Hollywood gatekeeping.

Thanks for the updated Tutorial Hugh. Always appreciate it! Some weeks ago I've asked a question about mixing 360 & 2D footage on the same timeline in the KatarVR FB-Group and you help me. Thanks for that too! :) Looking forward to try the solution from your Video, and retire my Fusion 3D-Render Workflow. :D Shout out to Kimchi!
Just.... Wow. You are the 360 🐐This video feels like the early days of learning 360 video editing as there is so much to get into! Kimchi must be quietly proud 😊
Haha thanks! I am trying to let no rock unturn. Then build the next tutorial upon this. There are more Resolve 360 and VR180 update coming soon as Blackmagic is gear toward their immersive camera release - it will soon take over Premiere and FCP as the software for all thing immersive and 360. A lot of new updates are coming.
Best tutorial yet, I am glad to have an updated workflow. Some of the stuff I used to do is not working anymore (Facebook Encoder) and can be complicated (Ambisonic w/ Headtrack Audio) so I have just been doing basic edits in 360 studio but now I feel like going back to the more professional workflow.
Oh yes 5.7K still a bigggg improvement. Before people are doing it in 4K without telling the viewers.. At least now we track down the bug and fix it lol. No more complaint in Resolve - it is the best reframe software hand down!
@@hughhou also enjoyed your qoocam review but concerned it might be too heavy for the unicorn mount :) - I do a lot of snowboard filming! now having stitching issues after 19.1 upgrade...
Whoa you covered really a lot in this video! Some stuff I learned along and some new stuff. Even if one doesn't have a 360 cam there's lot of value found here. Thank you very much! :D
Oh I am so glad. Yes, my plan is to use 360 editing to get people to learn the basic / advance animation in Resolve. It is so powerful and for some reason, lots of tutorials on the Internet does not go deep. Lots of the stuff I also learn by doing and reading the forum. It is no fun. I hope this and upcoming series can save everyone headache and give back more time to go film instead of sitting in front of the computer lol.
@@hughhou awesome, man! Yeah seems like a lot of work! Editing in 8k and 360 demands more tricks and Power, I'd say so all the stuff one can learn by your videos will also make the editing of regular film so much easier.. Also for ppl with no high end pc's.. That example of transforming 8k into 1080p f.e... Dope!
I subscribed to your channel when I found your review for the TTartisans 7.5mm f2.0 and I have been following your content since then. Now I'm looking for a 360 camera to give a different look to my content and these videos and reviews are very very helpful. Without any doubt, the best 360 VR focused channel on the internet!! Greetings from Spain for you and Kimchi 😊😊
@@hughhou For sure! Resolve 360 workflows are not for the squeamish. And we're not even talking 360 stereoscopic!🙃Props to you for making Resolve approachable!
Thanks so much Hugh, that´s the solution, I´ve searched for to get best of my X4 into DaVinci Studio. You´re a great teacher 👍👍 Cheers from germany 👋, Thomas
Thanks for the great content again. I have yet to try it out once I find the time. One thing I did not understand from your video is why you use portrait resolution? Only for social media export? Or is there another purpose?
Yes for social media like RUclips Shorts, IG and TikTok since this is most people do reframe for - for their social media. For other video, I think 360 video and immersive format is way cooler. But this workflow also work with 16 by 9 up to 4K!
I really feel you should have linked Andrew Hazelden in the description. Most people will not know how to connect with him. "We are not here for credit" but credit should be given.
Master Hugh, the imitators will have to study this new tutorial in depth lol!!! Master, don't forget that we have doubts about how to use the FB360 Encoder for Muxing, because the FB360 Encoder does not accept ProRes files. We do not want to use mp4 with H264 or H265 codecs, so all we can do is export ProRes 8K and publish it on RUclips as you taught us in the previous tutorial. In this case, our step with Reaper and FB is dead! Big hug!❤❤❤
Mmmmm, you don't use FB360 for RUclips release tho. On Meta is H265 only so FB360 work fine. For RUclips is only 4-ch you can use Premiere or just mux them together and use the Google Spatial Injection tool. I will figure out a more streamline Resolve workflow now Resolve 19 support ambisonic audio finally!
@@hughhou I miss FB360 running in Reaper in third order! If we use ProRes export in Premiere, we are restricted to 4 ch. And if we use H265 export for FB360 Encoder we have a loss of image quality. Does H265 also have a limit of up to 60Mbps? Maybe this fouxi ambisonic in Resoove is the solution! Thanks master!
Amazing content, thanks for these valuable guide. I switched from Insta360 X4 to Qoocam 3 Ultra, reframing was a bit of a letdown in Qoocam Studio compared to Insta, now in DaVinci there are a lot more possibilities. Will you also be making a guide / workflow on how to shoot/import/edit/export Qoocam 3 Ultra footage for 360 8k 10-bit HDR color graded viewing? TYIA!!
I have one in my original Q3 Ultra review on Premiere. But Resolve is so simple - when you set HDR color space and resolve wide gurm color management - it just convert everything for you to REC 709 or whatever output space you decide. Literally like 3 second tutorial lol. I will make a short soon
Thank you! The fusion for speed part finally means i can edit 360 on my laptop. Are there any quality downsides at all to doing it that way? Why not set the project to that resolution in the first place?
Hello Hugh, great tip to level 360-video in Qoocam studio. But too bad you cant set keyframes in 360 editing mode. Hopefully Kandao can add this in the future.
Why you need keyframe in 360 mode? Any keyframe you should do it in NLE - as the smoothing is better. Keyframe to only keep the camera straight not keyframe pov (which make people sick in VR). BTW, we are coming to PARIS at Oct!!
@@hughhou Because the horizon isnt always off in the same way. You can straighten the horizon with the grid on moment A and it doesnt have to be straight at moment B. I think keyframes in 360-mode would be very useful. It works the same way with levelling with Davinci resolve fusion.
Thanks again for an awesome tutorial. I work with dogs, and I'm trying to figure out the best work flow. Often I film with just one 360 camera, but I would love to have the possibility to edit the photage as a multicam clip. So I can easily switch between the dogs, or me. Also I was wondering if the Karta VR has a autotrack function you can use to reframe?
Great video. So clear and the example work well with great results. I have often wondered if there is a way to make a 3d video with a 2d camera. I'm wondering if anyone has developed or considering a process that eg. one flies a drone through the same landscape several times and software / ai assembles a 3d video. Something for KartaVR?
Great tutorial I wear 2 hats one is 360 video editing the other is hospitality and catering instructional design with a focus on culinary arts. Can you do a tutorial on editing filming and editing cooking demos your contribution would be a great contribution to lecturers and food photographers. 🙏🌟🌟
Very good video, one question, after using KartaVR and putting the image as you want, can normal tracking be used without any problem or can it give an error? Thank you very much in advance.
You probably want to "pre-comp" all the KartaVR effects or even render in place everything before use tracking. Then tracking just work like normal video. The idea in VFX is always "render in place" before you do another GPU intensive task - like tracking. As long as you use ProRes as suggested in this video, you can render as many pass as you want to speed up your process (if not, it will be a long wait as your GPU might run out of VRAM for doing so many things at once). I hope this help!
Is there a difference in quality from the insta360 & qoocam software to ProRes ? Should all insta360 x4 user use Qoocam export tool instead ? I've also had multiple clip to export, and it asked me more question in my export than it did for you. Ask me for direction lock, denoise and a few others... Maybe I have a newer version of insta360, or it because I'm on windows, or when you select multiple clips, you get a different option set... I let them all at the default, and let my computer export them and we will see what happen.
Oh no, this is just a good hack. But if you know how to adjust level, you can just go from Insta360 Studio to Resolve as Resolve in kvrViewer or ReframeUltra can also adjust level. I do that for Premiere edit as Premiere latest 2024 having some issue on VR rotate sphere and I need to use Qoocam Studio to save my a$$.
What software would you recommend for improving 360 images? Neat Photo for denoise and Topaz Photo Ai for upscale? Or something else? And what for editing? Thought about just using Davinci also for photo editing since it brings everything needed for 3603D and others don't... Thanks a lot in advance :) I will buy your recommendation today if you answer. :)
Hi Hugh Hou :) Could you give me a quick recommended tool list for 3603D so I know what to buy and learn: 1) Recommended Upframing Software/Plugin → recommended setting/model? 2) Recommended Upscaling Software/Plugin → recommended setting/model? 3)Recommended Denoising Software/Plugin → recommended setting/model? Thanks so much on advance 😍
@@hughhou I would also be highly interested in an objective comparison of tools and models for 360 video quality improvement. :) Thank you a lot for your effort!
@@hughhou Can you tell me which stitching optimisation should i use; Dynamic, optical flow, AI or chromatic before i export out the prores from insta 360 studio. Cant seem to understand which gives a better result.
Have hoped for the spatial audio tutorial you promoted even before the last Reframing Tutorial. Or some news on which tools to use with which settings for increasing framerate or resolution, comparison of doing vs the other first etc. :/ I am waiting now since months and freezed my whole private pipeline since upscaling / upframing is mich money energy wise for me. I bought Topaz since you recommended it some time ago to upframe 3603D or upscale, but now you say it creates artifacts that we can't see in your videos. So what now...what tools to use, what process and settings to follow. :/
Anyway a great tutorial, learned a lot. Thanks! :) Sadly not what I need but I hope you will come up with some more of your really worthful insights about spatial audio and Ai treatment for Pro 2 footage etc. soon. 🤍
Hey Hugh. I think I have a beginner question.... maybe will be helpful to more people. I have KvrViewer on an Adjustment Clip. I have reframed the shot. Now I wish to ad some speed ramps to it, but when I mess with the Retime Frame, it does no affect the adjustment clip as well, so my KVR reframe looses its link with the clip. Any tips? Thanks a lot if you have the time.
It is kinda like in Premiere, I will retime it first - nest or pre-comp (right click and comp the clip with retiming effect in it, or better, render in place as retime effect is very GPU intensive). If it is harder, just use the kvrViewer on the clip directly - adjustment layers is a best practices for long video but does not mean you need to follow it all the time. Both ways work
@@hughhou Really appreciate the fast response! I tried reframing and after making a Compound Clip to add after the Retime. OH of M1 Pro got very slow... I will try to retime first as you suggested... and also add music for only after doing the reframing. I believe is a much better workflow. Thanks a lot!!!
I work with 3D and I'm producing 360, ask me a question please, the Quest 2 glasses have a maximum resolution of 1832 x 1920 for each eye, if I'm going to create a 360 stereo top and down I have to generate it with the full resolution of 3840 x 3840 ?
Quest 2 the best resolution will be 5760 x 5760 top and bottom. So Pro 2 with 60fps 5760 x 5760 will get you the best resolution in high refresh rate. I hope it help!
Still waiting for that premiere pro video you were going to do lol... In all seriousness though. If you ever get time, could you add master class for those who use these as intended. 360? I dont use 180, I dont use reframed... I use straight 360 and as you know I hate the quality out of it. =( You said you had some tips and tricks you were putting together a few months ago but I guess you're still working on that premiere pro video. :)
@@hughhou don't know if it's just me 4:11 didnt appear here 622 is not clickable (same as other before 4min) ... may be it's not suposed to? but i'll find it.
Question, with the final slow computer method does this affect final quality output? if youre exporting in 1920x1080 for horizontal isnt this the max people can select on YT?
No it does not. All method here as long as you have Resolve Studio - they are all high quality output - in some sense higher the Insta360 Studio if you throw in some Resolve AI magic
@@hughhou got you but if I want the video on RUclips to be 4k wouldn’t the rendering in 1920x1080 limit that? That would be when you’re showing the render node bit
I guess there is no way to increase playback speed using retime controls for an adjustment layer? I suppose the best way to deal with this is to add the kvrViewer to the clip itself?
Actually adjustment layer is better than full clip - as you can cut just that adjustment layer and do reframe on the session you need to increase speed. Full clip will affect full clip render. If that make sense. Adjustment workflow is best practices even in Premiere.
Response: Even your gut feeling would help a lot! No need to fill in the settings if you have no idea, but the software would help a lot 😍 1) Recommended Upframing Software/Plugin → recommended setting/model? 2) Recommended Upscaling Software/Plugin → recommended setting/model? 3)Recommended Denoising Software/Plugin → recommended setting/model?
I still think Topaz Video AI is pretty legit right now: bit.ly/3H7OUEd - but there are other more professional alternative I need to test and have not get the chance too until my next project.
I can't figure out the free way yet b/c I can not go around an outstanding bug on Fusion 19. But here is the free alternative workflow: ruclips.net/video/hBLboMqnDo4/видео.htmlsi=v1J9G3BV_MDIaV9G&t=1201
That is what I used on a daily basic - but some people argue Topaz AI is better. But let me take more time to do a correct comparison to draw my conclusion.
Thanks! :) Will be very interesting@@hughhou I personally have not achieved good results with Topaz for Denoising yet but I might have did too much...need to play around with it a bit too
Is it normal for Resolve to render with 3fps and run 2 render jobs for 1 timeline? That is what I am getting. I don't have a slow computer (MSI GE66 raider w/ i9 and RTX3080 16Gb VRAM). I don't mind the longer waiting time but as the video doesnt have realtime playback I have a lot of difficulty seeing what I am creating. The old school way of using the kvr ultra node in fusion does give me real-time playback.
Are you using kvrViewer on Edit page or Fusion page / Fusion Studio? If it is edit page - that is normal. Edit page require a lot more VRAM to run smoothly and strangely - work better on Mac Silicon (Blackmagic play favor!!) So I will suggest hit the magic pencil button and go to Fusion to reframe. The same on screen control is all there in Fusion and it is faster! Also turn off motion blur preview, high quality cache and drop your resolution to quater not Full to increase speed.
@@hughhou I was following along your video in Edit. When going to fusion you lose the drag to reframe functionality? Any benefit in not going back to the old WF using kvr reframe ultra? I usually crop right in the middle, basically taking a more narrow crop from a wider reframe node which seems to be ok for quality. Any thoughts?
X4 owner not used to Davinci and while this video is great I can't pass the fact it's all look complicated with many many steps from start to finish. The learning curve is harsh. I wish we could tell the program what camera we have and 80% of all thoses settings would be done automatically. Until then, thanks for this tutorial.
Fair. This is more for professionals that want to get every single pixel quality out from X4 and get rid of those blurry complaint on X4 by other creators. And it is a bit complex as it is targeted to filmmaker, videographer and people understand NLE editing. We want to show what is possible but not necessary is simple. Since this is a pro level NLE, it can do way more to integrate with 2D video than the Insta360 approach. So you can use Canon, SONY with your Insta360 instead of just Insta360.
How to create 2D video to 180 3D sbs video in davinci resolve studio ( so that it can be watched in DeoVR ). Not the normal 3d sbs video but 180 3D sbs video. Can you please create a tutorial for it. It would be much useful
Follow those exact settings and just play the timeline and it will cache for you. The first time playback will be slow as it is caching but second time will be blue line and super smooth.
is there a simple way (not ai intensive since that's only method Ive found), to frame 180 to 16:9(ish, slightly wider avoids black bars) sbs half without the fisheye effect. wish more creators would use 3d widescreen over 180/360.
Edit: Not latest firmware, will post updates as soon as I tried out the latest firmware. ----- Got my Qoocam 3 Ultra finally... footage unusable for VR when walking (normally, not "gimbal sneaking") while filming, especially when camera is not in direct sunlight. All larger, non vibration like movements are stabilized but all bumps and minor shakes (e.g. walking down a stair outdoory walking a bit faster, and so on) cause the video to disturb/blur for the bump durstion. No camera from Insta360 I had before (1-RS 1 Inch, Pro 2) had this issue. So for me this feels like a joke... why is my Insta360 Pro 2 that is not made for beeing walked around in a backpack so much better in stabilizing shocks from walking than a camera advertised for action sport. I am so sad...I was so hyped for this cam, the support promised to fix this before arrival, they released Stitching Software V2.8 but still the same issue it seems. PS: Your app doesn't work too... I am connected as described with the cam but no live feed even though I can watch the thumbnails of saved videos (but I can't play them) - Galaxy S21 Ultra. What a pity. ---- Besides that I can confirm that the fan is running for 13-16min without audible fan noise (fan always on but inaudible at lowest setting if more then 50cm away). After that it kicks in quite loud so all ambisonic recordings ruines but lavalier with noise cancelling should still work. Hope the recording time with silent fan can be increased some day (not by changing the temp limit, this us already crazy hot). But yeah...the thing I was scared most was no real issue. But not beeing able to record handheld while moving the camera converts it to a photo camera or stationary video camera only. And for that the quality is not good enough (even with your 0,5gb large dng files or AEB).
Wait - so after my review, they also confirm the stabilization issue (which is what I am experience as you did here) and is planning to push out a firmware to fix it. I have not test the new firmware yet or follow up review as the camera sold out worldwide. But I believe they know their stabilization suck and plan to fix it or already fix it.
Again thank you for this info. Feel free to also comment that on my Qoocam 3 ultra review video so others can see your test and user feedback to help the community. I will use your notes and do my own testing soon when I done with my jobs. Current in 2 big VR production now so I have no free time for RUclips yet :( Feel free to start a new comment there too so I can follow up with your notes. Cheers!
Okey there are 2 new firmware updates I did not see, I updated a few days ago did not expect so fast new updates. Will keep you guys up to date about any news of these have fixed the issues. --- Changelog: Current Version V1.0.1.21 Update OV1.0.1.23Available New Version: V1.0.1.23 1.Modified the fan modes into ""Silent Recording", "Silent Priority", and "Cooling Priority" , Optimized fan strategies. 2.0ptimized the brightness of 24MP DNG shoot with Dynamic Range Boost. 3.Enhanced system stability. → Updated now, tests will follow soon. (always take some time since capture, copy to pc & wait, stitch & wait, move to Quest/stream,...)

Thanks so much Hugh, that´s the solution, I´ve searched for to get best of my X4 into DaVinci Studio. You´re a great teacher 👍👍 Cheers from germany 👋, Thomas
Happy to help!
Thank you, Kimchi! :))) And you, Hugh!
"Any time!" Kimchi responded
Thank you for your videos!!
My pleasure!
Thank you! Great job

yes please credit the source totally agreed!
Thank you thank you!!
Thank you so very much!!! Awesome! And I love Kimchi! 🙂

加油！讲述很好！我们喜欢！
Great video!!!!! that australian accent never fooled me! haha
Lol! Glad you like it!!
Very very very good tutorial. Would you explain how to track e.g. a logo with kvrplane to a moving object in in the 360 video?
Yes great idea. I will include it in upcoming tutorial
Thanks for the great content again. I have yet to try it out once I find the time. One thing I did not understand from your video is why you use portrait resolution? Only for social media export? Or is there another purpose?
Yes for social media like RUclips Shorts, IG and TikTok since this is most people do reframe for - for their social media. For other video, I think 360 video and immersive format is way cooler. But this workflow also work with 16 by 9 up to 4K!
Thank you so much for the great information...
Glad it was helpful!
I really feel you should have linked Andrew Hazelden in the description. Most people will not know how to connect with him. "We are not here for credit" but credit should be given.
Agree!
Thanks Hugh 👍
My pleasure!
Master Hugh, the imitators will have to study this new tutorial in depth lol!!! Master, don't forget that we have doubts about how to use the FB360 Encoder for Muxing, because the FB360 Encoder does not accept ProRes files. We do not want to use mp4 with H264 or H265 codecs, so all we can do is export ProRes 8K and publish it on RUclips as you taught us in the previous tutorial. In this case, our step with Reaper and FB is dead! Big hug!❤❤❤
Mmmmm, you don't use FB360 for RUclips release tho. On Meta is H265 only so FB360 work fine. For RUclips is only 4-ch you can use Premiere or just mux them together and use the Google Spatial Injection tool. I will figure out a more streamline Resolve workflow now Resolve 19 support ambisonic audio finally!
@@hughhou I miss FB360 running in Reaper in third order! If we use ProRes export in Premiere, we are restricted to 4 ch. And if we use H265 export for FB360 Encoder we have a loss of image quality. Does H265 also have a limit of up to 60Mbps? Maybe this fouxi ambisonic in Resoove is the solution! Thanks master!
Thanks Hugh :) Could you please tell us the professional alternative you will test out next for Topaz?
Neat, BorisFX BCC, Re:VisionFX, and Nuke.
@@hughhou Thanks a lot!
Amazing content, thanks for these valuable guide. I switched from Insta360 X4 to Qoocam 3 Ultra, reframing was a bit of a letdown in Qoocam Studio compared to Insta, now in DaVinci there are a lot more possibilities.
Will you also be making a guide / workflow on how to shoot/import/edit/export Qoocam 3 Ultra footage for 360 8k 10-bit HDR color graded viewing? TYIA!!
I have one in my original Q3 Ultra review on Premiere. But Resolve is so simple - when you set HDR color space and resolve wide gurm color management - it just convert everything for you to REC 709 or whatever output space you decide. Literally like 3 second tutorial lol. I will make a short soon
@@hughhou that would be much appreciated!
Thank you! The fusion for speed part finally means i can edit 360 on my laptop. Are there any quality downsides at all to doing it that way? Why not set the project to that resolution in the first place?
Hello Hugh, great tip to level 360-video in Qoocam studio. But too bad you cant set keyframes in 360 editing mode. Hopefully Kandao can add this in the future.
Why you need keyframe in 360 mode? Any keyframe you should do it in NLE - as the smoothing is better. Keyframe to only keep the camera straight not keyframe pov (which make people sick in VR). BTW, we are coming to PARIS at Oct!!
@@hughhou Because the horizon isnt always off in the same way. You can straighten the horizon with the grid on moment A and it doesnt have to be straight at moment B. I think keyframes in 360-mode would be very useful. It works the same way with levelling with Davinci resolve fusion.
Thanks again for an awesome tutorial. I work with dogs, and I'm trying to figure out the best work flow. Often I film with just one 360 camera, but I would love to have the possibility to edit the photage as a multicam clip. So I can easily switch between the dogs, or me. Also I was wondering if the Karta VR has a autotrack function you can use to reframe?
Great video. So clear and the example work well with great results.
I have often wondered if there is a way to make a 3d video with a 2d camera. I'm wondering if anyone has developed or considering a process that eg. one flies a drone through the same landscape several times and software / ai assembles a 3d video. Something for KartaVR?
Yes I have. I will focus on that when I go tho all the latest feature on Resolve :)
Great tutorial I wear 2 hats one is 360 video editing the other is hospitality and catering instructional design with a focus on culinary arts. Can you do a tutorial on editing filming and editing cooking demos your contribution would be a great contribution to lecturers and food photographers. 🙏🌟🌟
Great suggestion. I will certainly considering it and plan it.
Very good video, one question, after using KartaVR and putting the image as you want, can normal tracking be used without any problem or can it give an error?
Thank you very much in advance.
You probably want to "pre-comp" all the KartaVR effects or even render in place everything before use tracking. Then tracking just work like normal video. The idea in VFX is always "render in place" before you do another GPU intensive task - like tracking. As long as you use ProRes as suggested in this video, you can render as many pass as you want to speed up your process (if not, it will be a long wait as your GPU might run out of VRAM for doing so many things at once). I hope this help!
Is there a difference in quality from the insta360 & qoocam software to ProRes ? Should all insta360 x4 user use Qoocam export tool instead ? I've also had multiple clip to export, and it asked me more question in my export than it did for you. Ask me for direction lock, denoise and a few others... Maybe I have a newer version of insta360, or it because I'm on windows, or when you select multiple clips, you get a different option set... I let them all at the default, and let my computer export them and we will see what happen.
Oh no, this is just a good hack. But if you know how to adjust level, you can just go from Insta360 Studio to Resolve as Resolve in kvrViewer or ReframeUltra can also adjust level. I do that for Premiere edit as Premiere latest 2024 having some issue on VR rotate sphere and I need to use Qoocam Studio to save my a$$.
What software would you recommend for improving 360 images? Neat Photo for denoise and Topaz Photo Ai for upscale? Or something else?
And what for editing? Thought about just using Davinci also for photo editing since it brings everything needed for 3603D and others don't...
Thanks a lot in advance :) I will buy your recommendation today if you answer. :)
I am making a tutorial about photo as we speak so I will answer you with an indepth tutorial!
@@hughhouThis is great! 😍
Please also consider 3D here... since all Editors can't display/handle it :/ (thats why o thought about using Resolve instead)
Hi Hugh Hou :) Could you give me a quick recommended tool list for 3603D so I know what to buy and learn:
1) Recommended Upframing Software/Plugin → recommended setting/model?
2) Recommended Upscaling Software/Plugin → recommended setting/model?
3)Recommended Denoising Software/Plugin → recommended setting/model?
Thanks so much on advance 😍
I don't think I did systemic testing yet so I can not give recommandation. It is my plan to run comparison test somedays soon.
@@hughhou Would be great! But anyway what is your gut feeling?
@@hughhou I would also be highly interested in an objective comparison of tools and models for 360 video quality improvement. :) Thank you a lot for your effort!
not to be a stickler but 14:55 to 16:10 sounds wild like rumbling but i took a bunch of notes thank i will let you know if everything works :)
Thank you for point it out!
Commenting so youtube algorithm finds it
Thank you thank you!!
@@hughhou Can you tell me which stitching optimisation should i use; Dynamic, optical flow, AI or chromatic before i export out the prores from insta 360 studio. Cant seem to understand which gives a better result.
Have hoped for the spatial audio tutorial you promoted even before the last Reframing Tutorial.
Or some news on which tools to use with which settings for increasing framerate or resolution, comparison of doing vs the other first etc. :/
I am waiting now since months and freezed my whole private pipeline since upscaling / upframing is mich money energy wise for me.
I bought Topaz since you recommended it some time ago to upframe 3603D or upscale, but now you say it creates artifacts that we can't see in your videos.
So what now...what tools to use, what process and settings to follow. :/
Anyway a great tutorial, learned a lot. Thanks! :) Sadly not what I need but I hope you will come up with some more of your really worthful insights about spatial audio and Ai treatment for Pro 2 footage etc. soon. 🤍
Yes sorry still not back to audio yet as there are so many bigger topic I need to cover first. But soon!
@@hughhou Okey :( thanks!
I was just thinking, can you use DaVinci Resolve to edit insta360 videos while doing a voiceover at the same time?
Hey Hugh. I think I have a beginner question.... maybe will be helpful to more people. I have KvrViewer on an Adjustment Clip. I have reframed the shot. Now I wish to ad some speed ramps to it, but when I mess with the Retime Frame, it does no affect the adjustment clip as well, so my KVR reframe looses its link with the clip. Any tips? Thanks a lot if you have the time.
It is kinda like in Premiere, I will retime it first - nest or pre-comp (right click and comp the clip with retiming effect in it, or better, render in place as retime effect is very GPU intensive). If it is harder, just use the kvrViewer on the clip directly - adjustment layers is a best practices for long video but does not mean you need to follow it all the time. Both ways work
@@hughhou Really appreciate the fast response! I tried reframing and after making a Compound Clip to add after the Retime. OH of M1 Pro got very slow... I will try to retime first as you suggested... and also add music for only after doing the reframing. I believe is a much better workflow. Thanks a lot!!!
I work with 3D and I'm producing 360, ask me a question please, the Quest 2 glasses have a maximum resolution of 1832 x 1920 for each eye, if I'm going to create a 360 stereo top and down I have to generate it with the full resolution of 3840 x 3840 ?
Quest 2 the best resolution will be 5760 x 5760 top and bottom. So Pro 2 with 60fps 5760 x 5760 will get you the best resolution in high refresh rate. I hope it help!
Still waiting for that premiere pro video you were going to do lol...
In all seriousness though. If you ever get time, could you add master class for those who use these as intended. 360? I dont use 180, I dont use reframed... I use straight 360 and as you know I hate the quality out of it. =( You said you had some tips and tricks you were putting together a few months ago but I guess you're still working on that premiere pro video. :)
Still links to tutorials missing here
Which one is missing?
@@hughhou don't know if it's just me
4:11 didnt appear here
622 is not clickable (same as other before 4min) ... may be it's not suposed to? but i'll find it.
Question, with the final slow computer method does this affect final quality output? if youre exporting in 1920x1080 for horizontal isnt this the max people can select on YT?
No it does not. All method here as long as you have Resolve Studio - they are all high quality output - in some sense higher the Insta360 Studio if you throw in some Resolve AI magic
@@hughhou got you but if I want the video on RUclips to be 4k wouldn’t the rendering in 1920x1080 limit that? That would be when you’re showing the render node bit
I guess there is no way to increase playback speed using retime controls for an adjustment layer? I suppose the best way to deal with this is to add the kvrViewer to the clip itself?
Actually adjustment layer is better than full clip - as you can cut just that adjustment layer and do reframe on the session you need to increase speed. Full clip will affect full clip render. If that make sense. Adjustment workflow is best practices even in Premiere.
Thanks again boss, guess retime first and then adjustment layer seems to be the way to go
Response: Even your gut feeling would help a lot! No need to fill in the settings if you have no idea, but the software would help a lot 😍
1) Recommended Upframing Software/Plugin → recommended setting/model?
2) Recommended Upscaling Software/Plugin → recommended setting/model?
3)Recommended Denoising Software/Plugin → recommended setting/model?
I still think Topaz Video AI is pretty legit right now: bit.ly/3H7OUEd - but there are other more professional alternative I need to test and have not get the chance too until my next project.
@@hughhou Thanks :) what are those possible alternatives? And what about 3.)?
@04:08, dont forget that link :)
I can't figure out the free way yet b/c I can not go around an outstanding bug on Fusion 19. But here is the free alternative workflow: ruclips.net/video/hBLboMqnDo4/видео.htmlsi=v1J9G3BV_MDIaV9G&t=1201
@hughhou Would you still recommend Neat Video to denoise 3603D videos? Or sth. else?
That is what I used on a daily basic - but some people argue Topaz AI is better. But let me take more time to do a correct comparison to draw my conclusion.
Thanks! :) Will be very interesting@@hughhou
I personally have not achieved good results with Topaz for Denoising yet but I might have did too much...need to play around with it a bit too
Is it normal for Resolve to render with 3fps and run 2 render jobs for 1 timeline? That is what I am getting. I don't have a slow computer (MSI GE66 raider w/ i9 and RTX3080 16Gb VRAM). I don't mind the longer waiting time but as the video doesnt have realtime playback I have a lot of difficulty seeing what I am creating. The old school way of using the kvr ultra node in fusion does give me real-time playback.
Are you using kvrViewer on Edit page or Fusion page / Fusion Studio? If it is edit page - that is normal. Edit page require a lot more VRAM to run smoothly and strangely - work better on Mac Silicon (Blackmagic play favor!!) So I will suggest hit the magic pencil button and go to Fusion to reframe. The same on screen control is all there in Fusion and it is faster! Also turn off motion blur preview, high quality cache and drop your resolution to quater not Full to increase speed.
@@hughhou I was following along your video in Edit. When going to fusion you lose the drag to reframe functionality? Any benefit in not going back to the old WF using kvr reframe ultra? I usually crop right in the middle, basically taking a more narrow crop from a wider reframe node which seems to be ok for quality. Any thoughts?
What Do you think about codec av1 in Container webM with Opus Audio?
I am not familiar with webM.
You are in the 九份?! welcome to Taiwan ❤🎉
Yes I am! A whole new 九份 VR180 experience is coming soon.
X4 owner not used to Davinci and while this video is great I can't pass the fact it's all look complicated with many many steps from start to finish. The learning curve is harsh. I wish we could tell the program what camera we have and 80% of all thoses settings would be done automatically. Until then, thanks for this tutorial.
Fair. This is more for professionals that want to get every single pixel quality out from X4 and get rid of those blurry complaint on X4 by other creators. And it is a bit complex as it is targeted to filmmaker, videographer and people understand NLE editing. We want to show what is possible but not necessary is simple. Since this is a pro level NLE, it can do way more to integrate with 2D video than the Insta360 approach. So you can use Canon, SONY with your Insta360 instead of just Insta360.
@@hughhou Thanks for the reply.
How to create 2D video to 180 3D sbs video in davinci resolve studio ( so that it can be watched in DeoVR ). Not the normal 3d sbs video but 180 3D sbs video. Can you please create a tutorial for it. It would be much useful
I have green screen on .mov in qoocam studio windows, any solutions to this ?
thanks
@12:17 How did you "cache the timeline"?
Follow those exact settings and just play the timeline and it will cache for you. The first time playback will be slow as it is caching but second time will be blue line and super smooth.
CREDIT THE SOURCE!
Great but same video with Pano X2 8k 👍
Yes Pano X2 will also work on this workflow!
Im confused. Is there a hack for 8k video input in the free version?
Not yet. We are still working on the hack. Hopefully come soon. Right now there is none.
@@hughhou Great! Thanks
👍👍👍👍
Thank you!!
is there a simple way (not ai intensive since that's only method Ive found), to frame 180 to 16:9(ish, slightly wider avoids black bars) sbs half without the fisheye effect. wish more creators would use 3d widescreen over 180/360.
Oh yes! This is touch on 180 but focus on 360 only. But yes, I will make a dedicated one for 180 reframe. Hold tight!
Edit: Not latest firmware, will post updates as soon as I tried out the latest firmware.

Got my Qoocam 3 Ultra finally... footage unusable for VR when walking (normally, not "gimbal sneaking") while filming, especially when camera is not in direct sunlight. All larger, non vibration like movements are stabilized but all bumps and minor shakes (e.g. walking down a stair outdoory walking a bit faster, and so on) cause the video to disturb/blur for the bump durstion. No camera from Insta360 I had before (1-RS 1 Inch, Pro 2) had this issue.
So for me this feels like a joke... why is my Insta360 Pro 2 that is not made for beeing walked around in a backpack so much better in stabilizing shocks from walking than a camera advertised for action sport.
I am so sad...I was so hyped for this cam, the support promised to fix this before arrival, they released Stitching Software V2.8 but still the same issue it seems.
PS: Your app doesn't work too... I am connected as described with the cam but no live feed even though I can watch the thumbnails of saved videos (but I can't play them) - Galaxy S21 Ultra. What a pity.
----
Besides that I can confirm that the fan is running for 13-16min without audible fan noise (fan always on but inaudible at lowest setting if more then 50cm away). After that it kicks in quite loud so all ambisonic recordings ruines but lavalier with noise cancelling should still work. Hope the recording time with silent fan can be increased some day (not by changing the temp limit, this us already crazy hot). But yeah...the thing I was scared most was no real issue. But not beeing able to record handheld while moving the camera converts it to a photo camera or stationary video camera only. And for that the quality is not good enough (even with your 0,5gb large dng files or AEB).
Wait - so after my review, they also confirm the stabilization issue (which is what I am experience as you did here) and is planning to push out a firmware to fix it. I have not test the new firmware yet or follow up review as the camera sold out worldwide. But I believe they know their stabilization suck and plan to fix it or already fix it.
Again thank you for this info. Feel free to also comment that on my Qoocam 3 ultra review video so others can see your test and user feedback to help the community. I will use your notes and do my own testing soon when I done with my jobs. Current in 2 big VR production now so I have no free time for RUclips yet :( Feel free to start a new comment there too so I can follow up with your notes. Cheers!
@@hughhou Yeah they told me too it is fixed before shipping...have latest firmware etc ... tested today
Okey there are 2 new firmware updates I did not see, I updated a few days ago did not expect so fast new updates. Will keep you guys up to date about any news of these have fixed the issues.

1RS 1inch vs Qoocam 3 Ultra vs Pro 2 - which is better in moving low light shots? @hughhou
1RS - the biggest sensor lol
@@hughhou Ok so sensor size > everything? Thought Qoocam 3 already was pretty close to 1-RS
