Many have dismissed 360 cameras as a gimmick that will soon fade away. However, with the introduction of 5.7k 360 cameras with perfect stabilization and a super fast workflow, the opposite has happened; 360 is growing faster than ever! Here are my predictions for where I see 360 going in the near future, and how to get the highest engagement possible on your 360 content.

you're the number 1 goto guy for anything 360, i so appreciate your being a mentor for so many..
My pleasure 👍
The problem with 360 videos is thats massive work and noone serious without some geeks use realy a headset It needs more professional skills to make 360 videos and it works. The producers of the hardware have just no ideas. Look to japan there are good producers with the professional skills to make videos that you can use without headset.
👍👍👍
Reframing 360 video is absolutely a game changer in the field of action cam but still some improvement to protect lenses and battery life. For 360 video it needs a specific scenario and it is just a beginning for this new way of filming. I see opportunity for 360 video in training purpose, I am working in partnership with a company that is doing this kind of software and needs short 360 video production or training for their customers
Yes it’s great for that 👍
I could use your help guys. I am trying to stream live from our oyster boat. Bought a Theta V to play with 360 and I'm HOOKED. We would love stream for hours at a time and advertise to our customers "Watch your Oyster Being Harvested LIVE" Need the whole set up cam , computer, software, ..... Can you help?
360 cameras would make unboxings alot easier, it would make filming alot easier.
But saying 360 will fade away is like saying 3D will fade away, 3D never fades away, it goes away for a limited time but comes back even better than ever.
Love my new 3dsxl.
On holiday in Croatia recently . I never took my canon 5d mk3 out of my suitcase. But always had my Insta 360 one x with me at all times. Capture everything and post produce only what's really valuable.
Your comments mirror my experience, esp. wrt 360 photos. I color correct the 360 version before making tiny planets, then post both to FB. For video, the the freecaptures are where its at, plus they're editable on the phone - again easy workflow. And for the vids I want to preserve at 5.7k, I just put em thru the desktop Insta Studio, then PowerDirector. Hey, you want a used Sony AS200V action cam? hehe
Keep it up buddy!
agree 100%!!!
i have one concern, video stitching is really not working and very hard to solve. 5.7K is making it ok, but once we are getting higher resolution in future - the problem with stitching will show up more. it is ok if all objects far away, but if you have close and far away objects, we have a problem!
Really? Have never had an issue with the One X (so far)
I really enjoy 360 video, but you're right, I don't necessarily love long form 360 content. I follow several channels that upload 30 min or longer tours of interesting places, and I typically jump around. However, shorter 360 videos (12 min or less) can usually keep my attention for the whole thing. I don't have a VR headset, but I use youtube on my laptop and really enjoy it. I think the marketplace shows that most people are using mobile devices so I'm probably not the standard person, but yes I do enjoy 360 content. I also like reframed stuff too. Especially if the videographer can make it look like standard video.
Nice 👍
Agree, re-framed 360 as action cam opens great opportunities. I’m using a 360 to add that extra amazing shoot but very sparse - relying on 3-4 other “traditional “ camera for the main narrative.
Nice 👍
What's your prediction on the future of 360???
Ben Claremont Maybe tourism preview, or online selling for cars, yacht etc....
P..N
Yes it’s great for those things 👍
It'll continue to grow. I suggest that most people now have no clue about 360. But over time as talented people produce great videos with it- it'll catch on. I show some I've made and most people say, "what the hell?"- whether it's an actual 360 or an overcapture video. Some, the smarter ones, will say, "how did you do that?" but when I try to explain they don't get it. So, the talented folks like yourself are helping a lot by blowing people's minds with great stuff!
But, got a question- do you have any concern about the safety of the LIPO batteries? I've read some horror stories about them. But, it may be that these very small LIPO batteries aren't so dangerous as the much larger ones for larger products. I'm led to believe we should use LIPO safe pouches to charge/store them- and the best of all is an ammo box. But that might look suspicious at a customs check. :)
@@JoeZorzin I agree with your comments. Some of my viewers are now asking me how I did that and with what. I am enrolled in both One X FB user groups. I see a ton of 360 stuff posted each day. Some is extraordinarily talented work, but a lot is beginners trying to get something posted. As they get better so will the acceptance of the 360 environment because they will go beyond posting it to just dedicated FB user groups.
i have dealt with 360 for about a year. coming to same conclusions as you. THANK YOU for being a pioneer a leader and a teacher in 360 and figuring out best ways to use the new tech
My pleasure
Wow! This was amazing and would have been a very compelling talk at IVRPA.
Thanks! Maybe another time 👍
I mostly reframe when breaking out my dual lenses, however some videos require 360 to get the best results, for these I post just that one segment as an independent 360 just like you mentioned about the photos, it gives the viewer more time to explore the space on their own.
I'm into 360 for the versatility of being able to re frame my shots without having to worry about gimbals, tripods and other bulky gear. What we are seeing here is the beginning of the end of large DSLRs. In probably less than 10 years sensors will be much bigger and cheaper, plus computer processing power so much more powerful. Which will allow over capture that will enable a much higher resolution edited and re framed result that we're currently seeing.
BTW, Iceland rocks! You're going to love it! Have you read any of the sagas?
Agreed! Yes loved Iceland.. haven’t heard of the sagas!
Always been curious about your reasoning on this; especially before your branding change. I completely agree 360 cameras are quickly becoming the action cams of today. Reframing 360 footage is such a great use and adds some extra fun into editing. Cant wait for the Fusion 2!!
Now, even with all your good reasoning I will also still be publishing 360º vids along side the Reframed vids. I feel like it's on us 360 content creators to help improve and evolve the format wether the super numbers are there or not.
if they have bluetooth audio and faster editing for the refamed videos it would take over. Also better stitching
For sure 👍
Nice Video Ben !!
Reframe always the best.....as you say, you can create multiple views from ONE single footage taken. The view I like is not always the view a client would want, so re-edit for them. Job done.
Thanks Ernie, very true 👍
Great to see you are traveling Ben and great video. I love the re framing ability of the One X and found this a fantastic way to share great looking video. How ever photos I do tend to share the 360 versions, so doing very much like you have said. I have the Oculus GO and Quest as well as Rift and they all have benefits and specific uses. VR 180 is not too bad to watch but I agree with the 360 as you get lost trying to follow and can make you feel a little nauseous!
Just started re-framing and agree it's far easier to share and watch, but nothing gets away from that 360 experience when you have the appropriate head gear. I think thats why I started using the VUZE XR. The ability to see behind in 360 was something I got over pretty quickly.
Enjoy Iceland, loved it there. You are totally correct , reframing is superb. Sold my gopros and bought a insta360 one x to use on my motorbike with different mounting positions. cant wait till the weather cheers up. Will be using it under my DJI mavic pro as well.
I bought my first 360 camera about a year and a half ago for one purpose only-to try to capture the northern lights (which can be an all-sky phenonmenon) from places like Iceland, and then reframing the output into a standard video. The new Insta360 reframing software really has changed the game. It was so tedious to get a smooth, level tracking shot using traditional video software. I agree, the appeal of full 360 video will be limited for now (I don't watch it either).
Good points, Ben! I'm using reframed 360 (and sometimes even my VR180 footage) more and more as well. I do find the colours and dynamic range not a patch on my full-frame mirrorless camera, but it's certainly useful in a pinch.
Thanks David- true, it’s more for the vlog style shots!
I am making 360 videos and working on engagement
OK I need some help. All my videos have to be in 360 so I don't need all the excess features and editing modes. The problem is that Insta360 studio doesn't work properly, it breaks the default FOV distance which causes the start of the video to be zoomed in close (About 2 inches from my face) I need to I export 360 video that's identical to the one in Insta360 Studio before exporting.
Can you please help? thanks!
I recently received a GoPro Max for my birthday a few days ago. I’ve already learned how to reframe and uploaded my first reframed 360 video of a hayride with the family. As I watched my video I wished I was able to rotate around the screen to view the surroundings. The reason I want to do that is so that when my wife and I are long gone, my children and grandchildren can be able to watch these videos in virtual 360. I’m having a very difficult time with uploading a virtual 360 video onto RUclips. Would you please show how one would go about doing that?
I dont think I will really use my insta360 one x for 360 videos, or even really photos (obviously there will be cases). But the whole overCapture/reframe thing is where it comes in for me. Especially with my interests being eboarding, hiking, sight seeing, etc.
It allows me to focus less on the framing of shots, and more on enjoying the actual activity. Which is what it is really all about.
I know that I am not even doing it to really make a living from it, but enjoy making videos for family and friends, but even then, having framing off on videos destroys it.
360 cameras just removes that whole part. Add to that the relative ease with which you can make vids with insta360, and it is all just a no brainer for the casual video maker (vs other cams)
Nice
I have a few 360 videos that you can spin. We have the camera attached to the roof of a rat rod or I am holding it out the window of a car as rat rods go by.
I am looking at more ways to use this camera.
People LOVE the 360 still images I take at car shows and I also post them on my Facebook page...each time someone spins, it is engagement...BONUS!
Nice 👍
Could you please point me to something that will instruct me how to get clear videos using 360 camera on youtube? When my videos are uploaded to youtube they lose a lot of quality and are not near as clear as yours. I'm having similar problems with reframed 360 videos ,just not to the same extent.
Great vid. I can't wait to get back into 360 vid creation. I dabbled with an early low res camera, psyched about tryin again with a better rez and stablisation.
You’ll notice a big difference 😄
Awesome explanation. Totally agree.
🍻
it makes perfect sense to capture the entire moment. I am sure the market will grow exponentially in the coming years as products with higher resolutions end up being the entry models.
As always, another great video Ben 👏🏻
Thanks Gareth 🍻
Reframing all the way, on a motorcycle I can't always get what I need from a standard action camera sometimes missing the shot entirely
With the 360 however it's always epic
👍👍👍
Ultimate stabilization. 360 on a motorcycle is Fuego
Yes Ben the processing of select points of view from 360 is the art. Do you teach this workflow...? Have a bunch of action from a Skydiving Project to edit and produce.
Also have unique for profit niche that I believe I can use your course or perhaps commission a specific consult? Great quality perspectives in all your content. 👍 stuff
Ben can you do a video on how you organize your pictures and videos files? 360 videos, 180 3d videos, 360 photos, 3d photos, gopro, overcaptured, time lapse, hyperlapse, raw footage, rendered footage, iphone photos, drone, camera DNS, which ones you keep, which ones you delete or archive. TIA.
No because I don’t do it.. I have the messiest folders ever haha
Reframed 360 to flat video with post production pan and tilt definitely seems the way to go. It makes for some killer action style clips. Now to save for an Insta360 One X....my Samsung Gear 360 v2 is a little ancient now!
Good choice!
My first dip into 360 was several years ago with a modified Hero 4 and some custom Blender files. Now using the Insta360 0ne and ordered the one X to use as reframing / funky link shots. Cant wait till 8k reaches my budget (a couple of years probably) so I can get reframes and digital xooms with a decent quality at 1080p
Question : how do you calibrate the stitching ? The stitching on my Evo is so obvious it hurts, it makes a weird fading over brightened chunk !
Also please refer me to a video or link where to buy a good invisible stick. I didn't get one when buying the camera, only the table top that broke and even manicured I don't wanna say my fingers anymooooooore
I think 360 long-form works best in an immersive environment where there is an event with continuous interest. I shot a reenactment battle all in 360 where the viewers could follow the action from whichever side the attackers came from. I then took the same video, flattened it to 16:9 and added the attackers viewpoint as a PIP shot from my Sony FDR AX-33 (BOSS stabilized). Both were posted to YT. I do not get a massive viewer count since I am not monetized, but the viewership between the two was not that far off since yet thy ran approximately the same length. In my opinion if you use 360 for long-form you've got to pick and choose the appropriate scenario. BTW I am 'thumbs up 20'. Your videos do much to promote and legitimatize the incorporation of 360s into the world of videography. Most of us are still students of this technology and you make a heck of a teacher.
Thanks Chris- true words 👍
@@BenClaremont 😀
Hey, Ben, which stick do you use to shot the video? The normal version or extended version? If it’s the normal version, when do you recommande to use the extended version? Is it worth bringing the extended version for travel and vacation stuff? Thx
I always use the Bushman monopod 👍
great video, your advices are totaly right. You rock dude, just continue ;)
i know it has nothing to do with the video
but since youve been using the insta360onex for years
any tips on using it for cold weather?mine just keeps on shutting off
thankyou in advance
Thanks🍻
From a consumer perspective (as I'm not creating 360 content myself), I agree that reframing is the best showcase at the moment.
I don't generally bother with 'immersive 360 videos' presently because: a) no headset. b) YT / browser cries at 360. c) I have a short attention spa-
Same her...
Ah soo good and glad you mentioned it! Yup definitely agree that 360 camera are moving into action cam space. I've noticed I've hardly picked up my go Pros anymore, the only use cases I might take them out are chest mounted shots, underwater or longer Tim lapses. But mannn none of that compares to having the ability to reframe 360 footage... It's like shooting in RAW you can recover so much. Although it technically does increase the post production time and not for casual market yet I would say, the workflow with normal gopro video is still great for that audience I say because it's a familiar to normal phones and point and shoot. Anyways! Cheers again for sharing Ben! Always love the content and your travels look awesome! Glad you're ticketing off some bucket list countries as well keen to visit Iceland one day 😀 don't forget about us all in Australia 🇦🇺!
Thanks Marc 🙏🏻
Having just bought a insta360 one for $70, I would say this is absolutely true. Not having worry about framing, stabilization, or post-process editing is really liberating when you travel on vacation. You can just hold it and enjoy the sights instead of wasting time on filming. It's also great when traveling with multiple people because it's 360 and wide angle even if you crop the video. The only downside is the cost. I would have loved to get the one x or one r but I'm not shelling out $400 for a new camera right now but I was able get a great deal for the insta360 one. I personally don't use it for 360 vr which for now I think is a gimmick.
What free software is out there that allows you to reframe or reposition the camera in the 360 videos? Anything good for an android user?
Thank you Ben for bringing this up. I planned to do a 360 video on my hike in Mt. Kinabalu in Feb 2019. Then I found it really hard to put all the footage together as one video project without Premier (One X app is good at editing one shot only, and Adobe's monthly system...). Massive upgrade is needed on hardware to let the video run smoothly (even I know you made a video about the tricks on Preimer). The final output is extraordinary huge leads to size related issues - disk space, super long upload time, limited bandwidth, pool video quality for viewers. The New York Times 360 coverage in Iraq two years ago still giving me hope. May be one day there will be a game changing solution that make everything smooth and easy. I can bring everyone onto the mountain by wearing a goggle.
The solution is there if you can afford the computer hardware/phone to edit.. otherwise it may be a waiting game :)
Subscribed + Bell :) Good work! Planning to buy one soon for my paragliding adventures (and everything else), just not sure if I should wait or just do it now!
great report Ben keep up the great work and stay safe see ya
Thanks Bene
360 video is starting to get popular here in Japan for hikers. In fact the next video after this in my subscription feed is a 27 minute 360 hiking video by a popular Japanese RUclipsr. I might have a look at the Fusion 2 that I hear is coming out later this year...
Interesting to hear- although 27 minutes is pretty long haha. Be curious to hear your thoughts of it 👍
Thanks Ben👍, I was a 360 sceptic🤨, please forgive me man... Cos I have seen the light💫😂I ride an electric skateboard and have used various action cams, phones, mirrorless cam + gimbal. And then I saw a 360 video re-edited flat that a friend had shot🤯 It was a no brainer, res is a bit low but for Instagram it’s fine... at the moment😉 I bought the instaoneX. It gives me so much more freedom to ride and not constantly think about the ‘shot’ and then chose the angle later in a pretty awesome mobile app. Which is great cos I can then upload to video editor and treat the 360 footage I’ve just had the best fun reframing ‘hands on’ in my iPad, like normal footage. Totally concur, re RUclips and 360. I would like to add similarly posting to Instagram in 16:9 will hurt your numbers, big time. I also have my suspicion that shorter 10-15 secs engaging content reap bigger numbers than an equally engaging 59 sec video. I’m enjoying working my way through your videos👍 And now you’ve got me looking at the Ricoh Z1. I think I might be hitting the 360 virtual tour trail quite soon. Thanks again. Doug
All very good points, I don’t try to make long form 360 video’s either. I’ve heard rumors of newly updated Insta360 One X.
I think I started that rumor 🤣
I wish more people would publish 360 videos I think there's a lack of that content overall and it definitely shows on RUclips
Sure but it’s because most of them are boring and RUclips doesn’t promote boring content
Great video Ben, I'm using insta360 more like a BTS camera which been good with my vlogs.
Can't agree more...I'm lost for traditional action cameras to the 360. I wasn't tempted in any way by the new Osmo Action, because it gives no extra value. I have the OneX, a mini tripod and a small selfie stick in the pocket of my trousers, virtually all the time, you never know, when a good shot comes around the next corner 😉
Also I leave it running while I shoot with my FZ200 bridge, lately on a Corpus Christi procession. Got a great mix of stills and unusual angle vids out of that, I've put a series of the overcapture result on my channel (not an edit, just the clips in chronological order and some music), following a debate, if a 360 is usable for weddings. Sure, classical (action) cams have more resolution, but the framing always outweighs resolution imho, a dead on reframed 360 shot will win against a crystal clear highres bad framed pic everytime.
Cool 😎
Hey Ben, Iceland is great. Maybe you can do a Scogarfoss and Dettifoss photo and show it to us. What I couldn´t do and would have loved to: Inside the Volcano - Thrihnukagigur Magma Chamber, What are you plans there? And what is your highlight in Iceland?
Stay tuned- that will be my next video :)
oh look ,at 4.44 ,is that a nother 360 fan ??? ,good video ben !
Indeed!
Sir please suggest from insta 360 r or x or evo ?
Hi Ben. Perfect vlog man. I appreciate all this great information that you've been sharing. I dont yet own the insta 360 camera but I really really really would like to get ahold of one. I currently have the Gear 360 camera that rarely gets any use these days but that's all on me. Thanks again for this insightful article. Cheers!
🍻
Hey Ben, how are you editing 360 video on your phone or computer? You mentioned that after filming you can reframe to show whichever angle you want.
Insta360 Studio
@@BenClaremont thanks, I have a Theta, is there a similar workflow you know of?
Thanks for your perspective on 360. I think it would be an interesting addition to RC vehicles.
Hi Ben. Quick question. Have you done a video on taking photos of a group of people. As in a wedding? I've been asked to take some photos of a wedding with my drone. I thought it would be cool to get a few group pics taken with my insta 360 on a high pole seeing I'm there. So looking for some tips
I haven’t
Where were you for the library shots? Amazing!
I believe I want a 360 camera is for reframing. The answer I can’t find is how to reframe, is it in the editing software or the camera? Can I film with any 360 of only certain ones? Can I use the software that comes from the camera company of do I need specific one. I post edit in power director, is that now a needless program?
You can do it in most apps provided by 360 camera manufacturers. See my channel 😉
Marvelous presentation. Thank you!
Thanks Warren!
Seeing this video is 3 years old, I was hoping for 360 videos to perform better on RUclips now on 2022. But NO.
It's a bummer to see myself investing time editing a 360 video and later see it getting very few views.
I'm at a point where I'll keep posting 360 because it's still fun, but I think I'll also upload a "plain" reframed version of them.
Anybody has similar experience with their 360 performing shitty on yt? If so, is there a better platform to share 360 videos (specially of travel)?
I was just watching the 6th season of "Comedians in Cars" with Jerry Seinfeld on Netflix. This episode is with Jamie Fox. All of the shows have GoPro cameras mounted on the windshield to record their driving around. At the end of this episode- for a few seconds- you can see them playing around with a mounted One X camera on the selfie stick! It's nice to think that these pros are using it. First time I've ever seen the camera being used outside of the online community.
Nice!
I believe 360 videos work great for tours as it lets people see all around a location, unlike a regular video where they are stuck with one view, and with a VR headseat they can feel as if they were there. It can help people plan better for a trip as they can see if a certain place is worth visiting or not, and also for people that can't travel for whatever reason it takes them to places that they always wanted to visit and makes them feel as if they were there with a vr headset.
That is why I made my channel so that people can explore different locations and enjoy them even if they can't leave home. It does take a whole lot of time to edit the videos but I believe is worth, and will continue doing it for as long as I can.😀
Nice- congrats on your channel 👍
I agree with you 360 is a wonderful tool but you can get dizzy if you watch a movie turning your head like crazy, on the other hand shooting in 360 and doing over capture in post that helps a lot, and things are moving slowly. Congratulations for your channel and keep amazing us with your photos.
i love to published 360° vids ... i think roller coaster or thrill rides in 360 degrees are more impressive than in 16:9 🤩 #DiscoverTheThrill
Yes they’re very cool 👍
First things I watched when I got my Oculus, amazing, now I never watch them...
The best 360 videos on the web!
Ok. I'm going on a cruise next week...I've watched a lot of videos most of which are terrible for various reasons things like shot from a terrible perspective like the person walking and all you see is the path or a persons backside! I'm taking my insta360 (I wish it was the X) so my plan is to use overCapture/reframing making it all 2d and then using after-effects and using either premiere pro or insta360 studio
Good luck!
Missed you! They wont fade away. ( mostly because of you ) all company should be paying you to promote the format. and hey, your gear list doesn't include the suitcase you had.. can you let me know what it is please.. your camera bag is a cable bag..
Thank you and keep on posting!
Very useful advice .. Thank you
No worries 👍
I guess the title should have read: Why I should not put my dirty suitcase on a white duvet or popcorn underneath a chair. Especially if it is a place that you always wanted to visit.
Why shouldn’t i? I’m not here to visit the hotel room 🙂
@@BenClaremont you could show some respect for the property of other people.
Nelieta Mishchenko sorry but my suitcase was not that dirty.. such a small and unnecessary detail to the actual point of the video.
@@BenClaremont you have a lot of subscribers who watch your every move. Next time when you check into a hotel please be a little bit more respectful. it is not cool to put popcorn underneath a seat and then go and sit on it. Neither is it good habits to put your suitcase on a nice white duvet. That is just obnoxious behaviour! I am sure you will not let anyone touch your camera gear with dirty popcorn hands, would you? No, next time just be more respectful. I work in the hotel industry.We do not like to accommodate people who do this kind of thing.
Nelieta Mishchenko you’re seriously telling me off for one piece of popcorn that I picked up from a seat cushion, in a hotel I’m paying $300US a night for? This is obnoxious behavior? Sorry but your standards for other people are unrealistic.
Hey Ben, I didn't really get your reason for not posting 360 videos. Too long? Isn't it possible to edit them to be shorter and keep only the interesting parts? I find the possibilities interesting. Shoot everything and just take the angle you need for normal video - never miss a shot. Also not sure I understood the part about stabilization being better either. When the camera is shaking or bobbing up and down, the angles change no matter what, don't they? There may not be any need to crop anything since it's 360 but the change in angles will always make it impossible to really be 6-axis, wouldn't it? PS. I bought a Theta 4 years ago and sadly ditched it after shooting just a handful of videos. I loved the concept but the image quality was too bad to enjoy. Now it looks like it's getting good enough on affordable cameras to take a 2nd look.
Hey- would suggest checking out my One X review as yes, the quality and stabilization are near perfect 👍
Today I received my venture case! so it's time to start recording my motorcycle rides !!
You got it spot on. 360 to flat 👍 . It’s like having multiple cameras. Every possible angle with one camera shot once. 👍👍👍👍 ..... 360 on a drone ...has anyone done that yet?
Yeah 360 drone video is a big thing.. just requires more post production to remove the drone 👍
I would love to utilise 360 that way but I can't get the quality I need for my clients when reframing. I've sent you a private message regarding this to see what I can do.
I'm dipping back into 360 videos after a recent trip with my Theta V. Spent a whole weekend stabilisation the shots in AE (painful) so decided to now upgrade to a One X.
I'm planning to do more travel content and wondered if you can recommend some other channels who do a good job of that type of content? Also just curious about your % retention average on your 360 videos when you did post them?
I’d say it’s like 1/10th as high as my flat videos. And I don’t watch too many travel channels sorry!
Nice one Ben, even people like Peter McKinnon, Matti Haapoja and Devon Jovey are seeing the value of reframed 360. i love 360 video but its much easier to share reframed..
Yes for sure!
The videos I've uploaded in 360 have all done quite well. 😀 I've learned a lot over the years from your channel!
Congrats! If you put in the time they can still be worthwhile. But they do need more consideration than the average video 👍
Thank you! Absolutely, 360 videos require more pre-production planning and even more in post production. Out of top 5 trending video on my channel, 3 are 360 videos! :D
What drone do you use?
360 is fantastic for reframing and creates a great and interesting way of looking at the world. If vr takes off then the actual 360 footage could be used in some great ways
For sure 👍
Hey Ben! Just a question! How do you export and upload your 360 photos. I edited the raw photos in lightroom, but when I try to view the edited file in 360 studio, it just shows me the original file! What to do?
Did you upload? It should still work. I preview my 360s in the Ricoh Theta desktop app 👍
@@BenClaremont I want to post on Instagram, and to do that I need to preview the photo and take snapshot of that. Or is there another way?
I agree with Ben, I use 360 camera shoots on my Facebook, and I using 3m pole getting drone shoot, please checkout my ‘ spitfire Island in Birmingham’ shoot. That day the police came over to me on the just as was finishing the video editing.Because I was wearing a high viz vest. They thought I was from the council doing a construction survey of the monument.When I Show them the video as it was going up on RUclips from my phone.The two policeman could not get there heads around it that a camera on a pole. Can give such a point of view like a drone, they liked it that much they give me a police escort home😂👍🏿🇬🇧
Haha nice
one of my probl4ems, is I cannot find a **cheap* way to display 360 vids I have downloaded from YT...
there is a ot of chat, But due to the rather hopeless way YT formats the replies, it is not easy to find if any answers...
I love Iceland! I lived there for a year and a half just wonderful. If anyone ever asks where to vacation Iceland. Great information thank you for sharing
Loved it!
I don't think the reframed videos are going away, of course. But I do think 360 video is going to come into its own a bit more over the next few years. As more and more people adopt VR headsets now that the Oculus Quest 2 is out, I'm predicting a sort of renaissance in immersive video experiences. I don't think people are ever going to take to watching vlogs that way, but I do think there are specific types and genres of video that lend themselves to the format, and as the technologies and techniques evolve, I think the audiences are going to start looking for them.
I also think, though the camera market hasn't really reflected my prediction yet, that VR 180 is going to become a popular video format because it combines the immersive feel of 360 with the convenience of being able to sit in your chair and not worry about spinning all the way around with your headset on all the time.
For instance, it would be a pretty rare feature film I'd want to watch in 360. But there are a LOT of short films I'd love to watch in 180.
I think I need to get an insta360- I use a fusion and the workflow is so darn cumbersome.
Definitely worth it!
I love your content Ben, but...because of my niche, to be honest, this one bummed me out a little. I guess the less creators focus on making 360 videos, the lower my competition, which is good for me, especially so early in the game.
Good content always wins.. if you can create amazing 360 vids then awesome! But you’ve also gotta be observant about what people are responding to and adjust your approach accordingly.
Great job as usual!

Just won a 5.7k 18mp insta 360 one x with selfie stick ,adapter and 32gb card. I’m seeing good things it’s from 2019 I don’t know much about it.
Congrats
Interesting Ben. Thanks for sharing. :)
No worries 👍
Love your videos Ben :)
🍻
The REFRAME CHALLENGE is really wrapping your head around the concept of EVERYTHING is possible in every shot. We’ve shot a TON of incredible footage but are stymied by where to begin with a story line from start to finish...Literally coming from high end curated production it’s overwhelming... jmho
Guess we stumped the peanut gallery as well..... :0
Segue: How about VEER.TV for Virtual Tours? Any experience with this platform? Seems legit and much easier interface with interactivity potentials. What say ye! > cheers
I agree with most of the statements in the video. RUclips consumers don't hang around with 3D headsets and they rarely are engaged enough to even bother if they do. For that 2D is still suitable.
Regarding the place of 360: I already prefer them as action cameras. Functionally they are superb in every way. But we need higher resolution as mentioned in the video. Much higher. 360 cameras will kill action cameras when they will have reached the point, when casual viewer won't be able to tell the difference based on sharpness between 2D and 360 reframed videos. 360 reframed is already great, and usable. We are not there yet, when 360 reframed could be anywhere near on par with 2D. Certainly 2D will always have the edge by nature. But the difference could be - and will be - reduced enough that it won't be disturbing. It still is.
By 3D I assume you mean 360. Also I’ve seen many people mix in 360 footage with regular HD footage and it’s gone unnoticed. We’re definitely close to most 360 cameras being like that :)
A recent post from Ripple Training said that their experience was not much activity of they've seen VR/360 is not in demand for them BUT all the 360-focused studios they knew of were 110% busy (my assessment of what was said). Just FYI ... BTW I use mine to show family/friends who will most likely never get to Sydney see what it's like to live here and Australia in general. I wish I'd have taken my Insta360 One X to NYC last week ... sniff ... we took a long walk in Central Park (even to the John Wick fountain)! sniff ...
Nice! Next time 👍
The reframing of 360 footage takes me more time. I prefer a good action cam with a gimbal. Saves me editing time.
With cameras like One X it doesn’t take long at all. And it captures many angles at once that an action cam couldn’t!
