Great video to start with Matterport! Thanks a bunch!!
Thanks for watching and good luck with the new venture!
Great video and explanation. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for a great presentation, awaiting delivery of my Z1 shortly!!🙂
It's a great camera, enjoy! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video Jonathan… what tripod do you use?
Just seen the link your description!
This is the one I bought off Amazon. I got 4 years ago and still going strong.
Moman Monopod, Aluminum Monopod
Works only in well lighted houses. Impossible to darker ones (you can't edit photos in Matterport). This is a big of an issue in Europe especially where generally houses are darker
This can be a an issue. If you have one of the better 360 cameras like the Theta Z1 or Matterports own cameras, they do perform better. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video! Quick question, if a room has an unavoidable mirror is it possible to edit the camera out after creating the tour with matterport?
You can blur it out using the blur tool when editing. I don’t think you can completely remove it. Blurring is what I do in this case.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great Video, just a question about the settings, is it just set to auto Iso and Shutter speed?
Yes, I use the camera fully on auto when shooting in Matterport. I don’t think you can enter the setting manually if shooting through the Matterport app. Correct me if I’m wrong though!
Thanks for watching and commenting! 😊
you think the dji osmo could work with matterport? Thanks for the video!!!
DjI Osmo won't work with Matterport. Only 360 cameras made by Ricoh and Insta360 work
Thank you Jonathan!! Total beginner here. Can you explain what the Hide Scan tool is used for?
Yes, if you hide a selected scan it means it won't show in the tour. This is handy if perhaps you have done too many scans and want to get rid of some, or perhaps your reflection is in the mirror and you don't want it included. It doesn't delete it, so you can always reinstate it if needed. So it is a very handy tool. hope that helps.

Thanks so much!!@@jonathanshilton
Thank you Jonathan

thank you for this.
Thanks for watching!
Great info. Quick question; I just got back into this but with the iPhone and axis... seems like each time I do an exterior 360 scan, the (return to the interior 3d) (man walking - puck) is no place near the house I am scanning... its across the street or on another house... I think I have started my 360 scan with my camera pointing at the house or away from the house but it seems it's never correct. Thx
I too sometimes have this issue. You can change the direction the exterior faces once you have placed it on the plan. It’s a circle with arrows pointing both directions I think. Sometimes it doesn’t show up how you have changed it in you edit, but I’ve found when you open the live tour up it is facing the correct direction.
I think it’s a bit of a bug in the software.
Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
i have insta 360 pro. Isnt compatible for matterport? is there any list with compatible devices? thank you! and of course thank you for the tutorial!
If you go on the Matterport site it has a list of compatible 360 cameras. I’ve linked it here. Looks like it’s up to the Insta 360 X2, so your pro is unfortunately not compatible. They do update regularly, so I’m sure you’ll be able to use it soon.
matterport.com/cameras/360-cameras
Thanks for watching.
They actually have support for the Insta360 X3, but very annoyingly STILL don’t have support for the X4. I had to return my X4 because I expected after multiple months of release they’d have released the firmware now but unfortunately not for the X4. They’ve been saying they’d update since the camera came out but still have never fixed it so your best bet is the X3
Great job!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated!
I await your response please
Is there a way I can upload the photos from my computer,
You can retouch the photos, that is, lighting, contrast and so on.
Unfortunately you can't edit the photos in terms of lighting or contrast and you can't upload photos not taken with the Matterport app. Everything has to be shot and uploaded using the matterport app. This makes for a quick work flow but doss have the drawback of not having the editing capability you might find using software such as Kuula.
Thanks for watching
Hi, I had one question among others. Is it possible to reduce or remove the blur at the tripod foot (which is added automatically)? If I make my virtual tour directly from the Ricoh Theta application (my camera model), there is this blur between each shot.
Unfortunately I don’t think there is a way of removing this. I know other software providers have the option to add your own logo instead of just blur it, which would look much better. It’s something Matterport should perhaps take a look at.
Thanks for watching and taking your time to comment.
@@jonathanshilton Noted, thanks for your detailed answer. Since this is not available on Kuula (to take the example of another tour host), I was wondering if Matterport has the same flexibility or not (we may see if they will amend this)
Hello,
I want to start but which program is better matterboard or kuula?
I am working with a company, I use Kuula. The truth is that when I take the photo from Insta 360 I want to make my own modification or something similar, in how many functions both programs have their pros and cons, I mean in my case there is no winner, it is to offer the services as far as the client's reach is for the monthly subscription
It depends if you want a quick work flow or more control over your images.
Matterport is very user friendly and quick to work with but you have little control over how the final images look.
Kuula, you can edit your photos before uploading them, but this is obviously more time-consuming. Price might also be a factor, as you might find Matterport expensive if shooting a lot of spaces, but then you will be earning more.
Personally, I like Matterport because of the quick workflow, and my clients like it too.
Just make sure you have a decent 360camera otherwise it can look pretty bad. I suggest the ricoh theta z1 or the insta 360x4, unless you can afford matterports own cameras, the pro 2 or pro 3.
Thanks for watching!
@jonathanshilton I bought the insta 360 X3, is it ok with matterbord?
Yes, it does work with Matterport. When linked with Matterport however, thr camera shoots at 18MP. This is not the case with the new X4 which uses the 72MP. I have just posted a video about this.
Thanks for watching
What about closet doors? Open or closed? Thanks in advance.
I would alway keep them closed as they usually look messy, so not great to view in the tour. I don’t use Matterport for floor plans, so it might be something to consider if you need the floor plan from the scan.
Thanks for watching!
Pantries and walk in closets? Thanks for the video and help!
Hi , good video thanks. I just wanna know more about the tarification
The pricing is listed on Matterports site. You can start for free and pricing depends on how many 3D scans you want live at once.
ok i subbed to your channel, am just wondering, other youtubers said a million things needed to be done and many steps and software, such as a software to erase the tripod image, another (lightroom) for editting the image and colors, also a third one for denoising, you arent you going through those ?
i am considering buying my first insta360 or use my pocket2 for now, and i hardly see anyone offering 3d virtual tours in Dubai, so i want to be among the few offering it, does the steps you explained are sufficient for a beginner service provider, and hope you can show us a more advanced workflow for example for fancy real estate and working with bracketing and HDR,
thanks mate,
Hi, thanks for watching and taking your time to comment. Sounds like you might do well if not many people are offering it in Dubai yet.
I only use Matterport for virtual tours, and this software does all the processing for you, so it’s the easiest to use, but offers great results. As a beginner, I would go with this for ease of workflow.
Matterport is also an industry leader in the field, so I find clients like to use it as they have heard of it.
I’ve not done a lot of manual processing the HDR images for 360 tours, so I won’t be doing any videos on this for now.
As I say though, you would be fine to use Matterport starting out to achieve professional looking results to send to the client.
@jonathanshilton thanks buddy I thought so too 👌 will give it a try hopefully...
Can the scan / tour be embedded on a wordpress website?😊
Yes. There are links to copy for each tour. There should be an option to copy an embedded link on the share tab. Hope that helps.
Thanks for watching!
@jonathanshilton that sounds great!.. for my idea how much time does it take to create the tour? I like to spend less time behind the desk if possible 😅
Hi, can you give us, what are the settings of the camera Insta360 X4 before starting taking pictures please
thanks Pierre
Hi Pierre, I’m not using the Insta 360 to shoot with as I use the Ricoh Theta Z1. When shooting in Matterport it just uses the automatic HDR settings, so I imagine it would be similar for the Insta 360. You might be able to change how many photos are included in the HDR image to help with exposure.
Thanks for watching!
great
Thanks for watching. Hope it helped!
Is there a reason why you dont use the insta x4 for video? why the Osmo?
I don't own the insta x4, so that's the main reason I have never used it. My only 360 camera I own is the Ricoh Theta Z1. I don't like to shoot videos with this for my interior work or RUclips videos, as you have to convert 360 video files in to a usuable format. I think this is easier with the insta app and editing software.
The Osmo pocket 3 is just a great camera for convenience and shoots great qulaity video for it's size, that's why I use it for some of my RUclips videos and also shooting some sections of real estate videos with agents.
what is the difference between this one and the matterport pro 2?
The Pro 2 will give you a better quality image. It just comes at twice the price of the Ricoh Theta Z1 and is also a lot bigger and heavier to carry around. It’s fine if you’re only doing virtual tours, but if your shooting photos too, it becomes a bit bulky to carry around.
The Pro 2 is a great bit of kit though, so I’m not saying don’t get it. Just a couple of things to consider.
Thanks for watching!
Hello, I wanted to insert photographs that I missed from the tour but it shows me the tripod, what can I do to delete the tripod? greetings
It’s not something I’ve done, but as far as I’m aware you can upload other media using tags. There is more information on their support page here. Thanks for watching and commenting!
support.matterport.com/s/article/Add-Multimedia-to-a-Mattertag-Post?language=en_US
Im using the insta 360, Can i take the photos in jpeg or do they need to be hdri photos?
It’s best to have it set to HDR, as you will get better quality photos, as it will expose several shots for the outside and inside and merge them together. If you just shoot in single shot jpg, the windows will probably be over exposed.
Sorry I should have pointed this out.
Thanks a for watching and all the best with the tours!
Can I use Insta360 X4 with Matterport??????
I think the Insta 360 cameras are only compatible up to the X3 at the moment. You might want to check with them though, as they constantly updating. Their website currently only shows the X3 though.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
How profitable ist this once I purchase an Insta360 camera ?
All comes down to how much you charging and how busy you are. The Insta 360 X3 cost about $400 plus the the cost of the Matterport subscription. Up to 150 scans costs about $115 p/m I think.
You’d start making a profit after shooting just 3 or 4 job’s depending on your pricing structure.
How accurate are the floor plan measurements?
I’ve never produced a floor plan using Matterport as I draw them manually, so I couldn’t comment on the accuracy. I imagine they would be pretty good. I guess there’s no way of telling until you compare it to one you’ve drawn yourself with the dimensions. Sorry that’s not much help.
My main jobs include photos and floor plans. I only shoot a few of these each month, that’s why I draw my floor plans.
I might do a video soon on how I produce floor plans soon.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@jonathanshilton Thanks for your response man. Would love to see your process on making floor plans. Do you use a laser measure for the measurements then?
@@samanshp yes, I use a Leica Disto laser measure and sketch the plans on squared paper. I then send the sketch’s off to be drawn up by a company in India who send it back to me the next morning. Costs around $3-5 per plan up to about 1500 sq ft.
@@jonathanshilton I've seen some folks use a Leica laser that connect to an app via bluetooth so every time you get a measurement, it shows up on an app on their iPad so they don't have to draw it by hand. Have you seen that process before? I just don't know what that app is called lol
