![Insta360 Reframing + Transitions Tutorial [Davinci Resolve]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/SxVtypow85I/mqdefault.jpg)
p.s. there's also After Effects- however it's quite advanced and therefore has a much steeper learning curve. Not something i'd recommend for beginners to intermediates when these 4 can do 99% of what you'd need to do with 360 video editing & reframing. That said, if you're interested in AE, let me know below! 👇🏻
AE, being a VFX/composting program is great for prepping a single shot, but who wants to edit video in AE when each clip becomes a new layer? That's quickly tedious. If argue Premiere is your better option. Then again any AE/Premiere user is paying for "Adobe Everything" month after month, so, hell with it. If you can afford to pay Adobe forever, use either one.
Interested 👍🏾
Thanks! Kind of skipped around video looking. Will pay attention this time.
Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for in a video
Hi Ben, we missed you. Thank you for the video. Please keep posting. I learn a lot from you.
Glad to hear it- I will!
Awesome content and answered all my questions spot on. Cheers!
Great to hear!
I wish insta360 would do an update to edit multiple clips on a single on their app
You and me both
Right
Everybody ! Crazy how they don't offer that feature ! ❌
Super happy to hear all of the comparisons but particularly your vote for Premiere Pro (for you). As an IT professional, I have had the Adobe subscription (54.99/mth) as I use enough Adobe products in my work life to make this my best choice. Video editing is new-ish to me and at this point, I do have time invested in learning Premiere Pro. And the Adobe products work so well together plus updates. But that is me. I know not for everyone. But again, thanks for the comparison. CAVEAT ... I reframe in Insta360 Studio as well as separate clips by "project". Then import into Premiere Pro. So far, I have not had much luck with the PP GX reframe plug in.
Thanks
Admire how you're videos are so gosh darn helpful. also i'm jealous of your floating monitor.
Glad to hear it!
Great video. I’ll be looking for your 360 course. The timing is perfect as I’ve been wanting to do more 360 VR content.
FWIW. I’ve been a GoPro Max owner for several years and participated in their Beta group who helped develop the GoPro Player software. I owned an Insta360 X3 long enough for me to give the Insta360 Studio S/W a test,drive against the GoPro Max Player software. I eventually returned the X3: as I felt the Max held its own in general image quality and actually beat the Insta360 X3 indoors and in low lighting. That said- HDR was a nice feature in the X3.
GoPro Player software works much the same as the Insta360 Studio. Both do,well to reframe individual clips or create individual 360 clips. Both softwares can also extract single frame reframe or full 360 still images. Only the Insta360 Studio has the auto track feature which would be nice to have .
Reframe clips are easy to join in order to create a longer multiple scene video . There are many other programs beyond the four you mentioned that can do basic editing of non 360 clips. My typical workflow uses the GoPro Player to extract rendered clips and magix Vegas software for simple splicing and audio editing. I have a copy of DaVinci Resolve, but because I couldn’t process the full 5.6 K resolution 360 files with the free version, I tended to stick with the Vegas software I know . Therefore, the 360 VR clips I post are direct stand alone clips from the GoPro Player software with no current way to join several of these 360 clips together
thanks for the upload I've recently just subscribed to your channel because I'm a beginner myself and own an insta 360 I like how you were on point and quick to explain the pros and the cons it helped me stay in focus and better understand. but may i ask what type of laptop do you recommend for editing an insta 360?
Hi, I love your work! I have been using Premier Pro for some time now and I recently purchased a Insta360 X3 and installed the plugins required to edit in the latest Version 23.6 of PrPro but it keeps on crashing when using the GoPro Reframe effect?
I wish insta360 made a pro version or something with the same capability as the other ones. just some audio tracks and transitions would be awesome. powerdirector 21 and up is alternative, sure there is a limit on 4k but there is a tutorial how to add higher res and it is not that difficult to do. add a custom res, go in to a text editor and change the data to be the res you like.
Hey Ben! I've got a Vuze+. What can I do with it? All the softwares and Apps are old. But I can take videos and photos, tho. The problem is, how to convert them, to see and share them? They have those weird extensions. Thanks a lot!
I love editing 360 in Final Cut Pro. I was once a beta tester for Premiere. Most people who try Final Cut simply click around and can't figure it out and go to Premiere because it's basically the same workflow as the legacy Final Cut. Slow! Cumbersome! I can edit two to three times faster in Final Cut Pro than you can in Premiere. But first, you have to 'get' the new paradigm. Once you understand that, you'll never go back. Now, you may not know that there's a trick in Final Cut Pro for editing 360 video that I use a lot. When I'm reframing the shot, I can right-click in the blank area next to the section title that lists the Pan, Tilt and Rotate settings and create markers in all the settings in that section with a single click. You want to ALWAYS do that because if you don't, Then, when you next set a marker, you'll probably cause the path to change in relation to a previous setting of another marker. That won't happen if you always set all markers. That way, they position will be locked into looking the way you initially set it to look. If links are not allowed here, go to Texas Two Lane dotcom and look at my motorcycle videos. Episode 6 is a good example of what I do. Plus, you'll see how I make a logo appear on the windscreen of my motorcycle. If a link is allowed here, then

Good insights, Don. Will have to practice this further 👍🏻
thank you , and how can import video from insta 360 to final cut pro ??? are need plugin ??
Can any of these unwarp equirectangular 180 vr videos? I want to export them as flat videos that are unwrapped. Then later send the flat vr video to convert back to the equirectunglar 180 vr format?
Hi Ben good vid as normal, one thing tho is you say that davinci cant export in more then 4k, i have a insta 360 x 3 and have watched most of your vids on it. the 360 records in 5.4k as you know but soon as you edit it it becomes 1080 yes?.
so it does not matter really does it or am i missing something ?
in my opinion, and im quite new to it all is that the x3 is pretty crap picture unless its the most best of weather days day outside
all the best
Great insight, Ben. I've only just started playing with 360 video on my Theta X, so this gives me some great direction.
One thing that I have to consider is the fact that anyone who is using a Theta X (may be other cameras as well) can shoot 5.7k 360 video. The 4k resolution limit on the free version of Davinci Resolve is a con for me. I own Davinci Resolve Studio which has a 32k resolution limit. I think that should work. ;)
I also use Final Cut Pro, but have yet to dive into editing 360 video with it. Funny thing... For the past however-many-years I've been editing with FCP, I've hidden the 360 video column in the editing environment and thought, "I don't ever see myself editing that. So annoying that I have to hid it all the time." Well, not anymore!
It’s a great option for sure- let me know what you think of it 👍🏻
As I mainly shoot family videos to me the subscription of Adobe is a dealbreaker. I started out like you mentioned reframing in Insta360 and then editing in Resolve. Finally I got the pro version and after messing around with spheres and 3D cameras moved to Karta VR. Although once you get the hang of it it does get easy, it is still quite labor intensive and not a very enjoyable process when reframing. There is a 360 viewer in the fusion page and it is broken as you can’t see how far you are rotated away from the default position. It is very resource heavy. I use a i9 with RTX3080 16gb VRAM and rendering out videos with some 3D effects sometimes takes 24-48 hours. Totally sucks finding out there is a flaw in it after rendering. Also unless you use very small proxies often the machine is not able to show you edits in real time.
I use Cyberlink Powerdirector for my GoPro 360 reframed videos. I can use the software to render them as full 360 or reframe them as equirectangular 16:9 video using keyframes. $69 bucks a year, plus I'm too old to learn new tricks (new software) lol
Cyberlink Powerdirector has its share of Bugs, but
- comparatively easy to use.
- Usable on 'lower' hardware, but I would recommend a decent GPU if You do not want to wait 30mins for 1min render. My System i7 9th Gen + RTX2070 MaxQ renders 1min of Material in roughly 6mins (360->360 Full 5.7K, Reframing is Faster)
- Price is Ok if You get it on a Promo Day. Renewing with Promo Price can be tricky.
- functions and performance has become vastly improved over time.
- As I am not making money with my YT channel, I might not have started if this Option had not been available.
Only downsite: One must use a small easy to find hack to export in the full 5.7k Resolution.
if you are a bit more advance and will do more than just linear keyframe, either you go premier or insta360+davinci, premiere being a much better choice. biggest problem of insta360 is the keyframe control is super troublesome to use with no shortcut and limited option of editing, split and merge is non existent, and once you do things like tracking you lose the ability to edit at all. but it does offer some form of keyframe easing, so you can export from 360 to davinici which do the normal video edit, but not 360 video edit. Davinci biggest problem is the total lack of keyframe easing, even the most basic flat ease in ease out, making all the keyframe motion rigid and ugly to use. yes you do have some form of control in fusion tab but thats whole can of worms. good luck trying to sync your cut to the music in edit page.
Hi. Can you cut out some parts in the middle of the clip in insta360?
Hi good video. 🎉
🙏🏻
Ben quick question on handling my primary project editing the Garmin VIRB stuff shit back in 2017. Mostly 4 K some 5.7 K
The Documentary style final production will include stills and regular video from GoPro. I have Mac Book Pro M1 with large processing capacity’s/memory specs bought specifically for what I anticipated as a Final Cut Pro machine. If you need a consult fee to answer and advise saving me time money and aggravations. Thanx
Cheers

i plan on doing my first big mtb tour... i want to also do my first video edit... im familiar with after effects but not so with premiere... im really excited too see h ow it goes... i want to add a gta style gps map in the videos...
Very good video.
Should be nice to see wich it the best on iPad Pro 😊😜
Only 2 compatible are Davinci & Final Cut… although I don’t see why you’d edit on an iPad instead of a computer or phone 🤔
do you know : pinnacle studio 26 Suite , Gopro play ?
The price for final cut pro, is that the lifetime cost or per year? Also is that just for one computer or can I have it on my desktop and laptop? Thank you
Hi Ben, thank you for all the videos about insta 360 they are extremely helpful . As someone that recently just purchased one I am looking for advice which computer/notebook would be the best to use for insta 360 app and other video editing programs that you just mentioned in the video.
Hey- I recommend Mac, either a desktop or laptop. They are great and very fast 👍🏻
@@BenClaremont thank you for your reply 😊 will definitely go for one
Resolve does have a 360 viewer, it's in the Fusion page, though. And of course, if you connect a VR headset, you can view it fully immersed.
Hey- do you mean an interactive 360 viewer? Where is it?
I wanna make epic cinematic shots, filming the 360 map video, editing using cgi and vfx on green screen
Can you make a premiere pro tutorial with 360 video, that how import, edit, render, etc.?
I’ll certainly consider it 👍🏻
I hate Premier Pro, always have. The one thing it has over Resolve is the ability to export with the 360º metadata. I still have my MacBook Pro running OS X because Spacial media Metadata injector won't work on OS 11 or higher. But I'm not paying monthly to use PP for that one feature. I find editing the video flat is just fine in Resolve, and I can do any reframing in the GoPro app. I really wish there was a way to add the metadata (or if BMD would add it to Resolve) that doesn't require the terminal or downgrading to an older version of Python on Mac OS 11 and higher.
Agreed about the metadata
Hitfilm Pro
Thanks great video! Any chance you could do one of these for us that only use iPad Pro please?
Thanks! There aren’t many options unfortunately- just the Insta360 app as far as I’m aware.
@@BenClaremont thanks I’m a hero max user, tempted to buy insta however with the amount of GoPros and accessories built up over the year difficult to change. I have GoPro app and Final Cut on iPad Pro. I have never noticed 360 settings on it to be honest it tried to edit 360 on it. I wondered if there were any other options or missing a trick only using iPad. Thanks for the reply
Thank you for the video. I just purchased an Insta360 X3 last week, so your video is timely for me.
7:57 I use Davinci Resolve (18.6). Being that Resolve doesn't have a 360 viewer, would it be better to do the 360 reframing in Insta360 Studio and then import the clips into Resolve? While this adds another step, would it be easier on the eyes when spending a couple of hours reframing?
Hey- so a 360 viewer is not necessary for reframing. You could follow either workflow really. I have complete tutorials in my 360 Video 101 course if you want to save time experimenting 👍🏻
That is what I was thinking, just framing the clips one Insta 360 Studio , then rendering all of them in Davinci. I wish Insta360 takes notes and gives us a better editing software!
Странно, у меня закрывается premiere pro при добавлении видео 360 с камеры insta one r
Can you recommend any 360 editors apps for beginners on iPhones
Yes, the Insta360 mobile app
If I were to buy a cheap Kodak Orbit360 to capture 360 mountain bike videos which would be the best to edit the raw footage? I just want a cheap option for only 360 videos and currently can get the Kodak for $100
Don’t buy it- it’s so outdated and will be more trouble than it’s worth. Just get a used One X2 instead. Black Friday is coming up if you want a new one at a discount.
which one of these can I use gyro data for reframing, I cant stand keyframing it just looks like drone footage, its to smooth when I want the hand held look.
I can do this with a app on my phone but that exports as a flat video so I wouldnt be able do do a VR version
That’s done in the stitching stage of the workflow, not editing. Just choose direction lock on and it will do that 👍🏻
@@BenClaremont but do you have any idea on how to get handheld camera work on PC?
I don’t to key framing or lock on on,
I’m pretty much trying to emulator Vx1000 and just want to do handheld fisheye camera without any artificial steadying
How do you export vr video from davinci?
You don't, but there is a work around for that. I made a video on how to do it. Look at my video How to export 360 video from Davinci Resolve.
I've found that the karta plugin in for davinci resolve does not map the footage properly and its never that sharp. i use the "360 reframe" plugin that was abandoned years ago to be the better option. it has its quirks but at least the footage is sharp.
unless karta have improved the plugin and there is no drop in sharpness?
I haven’t noticed a drop in sharpness, nor bad mapping. Using the tiny planet slider can mess up the mapping- in the course I share my workflow for how to use it for best results 👍🏻
I did some testing a year ago and found that if my 360 timeline footage with Karta VR looked worse at 2.7K than if the timeline resolution was set to 4K... you are probably already using 4K but I just thought I'd mention it 😊
@@RikkyTang interesting. i only used it on a vertical 1080x1920 timeline for social media and was noticing bad sharpness
@DigitalGenki right, well give 1920x3840 next time and I think the sharpness will improve.
Are there any programs that can flip a mirror image video?
Yes all from this video aside from insta360 studio can do that.
Beginner with an omni gopro. Which video editor should I use to make my VR videos?
Hi Dave, the answer lies in the video…
can you use capcut for 360 videos?
Have not tested yet- but I think it may be possible
Hiya. A shame you didn't highlight that Davinci Resolve Studio also includes ALL future updates ... as you did with FCP and Premiere. Bought mine years ago. 👍
I think that’s implied given that it’s a free software that gets updated. It’s also a minor point compared to the other more important factors I discussed.
@@BenClaremont "Studio" isn't free. 😉.
It was something you considered worth highlighting in the summary for the other two that needed paying for, not when you mentioned the price for Studio. No biggie ... just a shame, IMO.
Still love your work ... even though I don't do 360. 🤣
@@BenClaremont No. The point is that, once you pay for the Studio version, you never have to pay for any upgrades... at all. I bought DRS version 14. I get to download and install the full Studio version of 18.5 at no extra charge.
@@GrantSR all 4 programs offer continuous upgrades. There is nothing different between them in that regard. The bigger overall difference is pricing models, which I covered in-depth.
@@OzoneVibe small detail though. They all offer updates. I didn’t mention it on the pros/cons lists for that exact reason.
So which one can stich multiple videos?
Only one is a stitching software, Insta360 Studio.
Wait so if i use insta 360 studio i cant see the video in vr unless i use a plugin??
What do you mean by ‘see the video in VR’? - regardless I didn’t say anything about plugins with that software.
I wish you could do a 360 video and be able to add a flat video within the edit.
You can- just insert the flat video into the edit and use 360 tools to flatten it out.
@@BenClaremont I mean having a 360 video, but also having flat footage in it as well. I thought you couldn't do it that way?
@@Wildland_Firefighter and what happens if someone is watching in a VR headset?
@@BenClaremont That's what I was thinking. I'm just thinking without a VR headset and more along the lines of smartphone use or computer. But you're right, it won't work due to that.
@@Wildland_Firefighter You can do that within Resolve (so the flat video looks like a window inside the 360 footage) although it does take some work. Hugh Hou has demonstrated that in a 360 video tutorial on his channel a couple of years ago, but he has a lot of 360 related videos so it will take some time to find it!
hey brother can you suggestion me plugin for Davinci Resolve for Windows
Plugin for what?
@@BenClaremont brother....I want to edit Insta 360 x3 video in DaVinci Resolve.....so I don't have any Plugins for that software 😢...online Available Kantara but it work with "Apple" only & I used windows 11....If you have any suggestions please reply me....Thank you
Do have have tutorials on using Final Cut Pro in your course？
Not currently for the reasons I discussed in this video. If there’s enough interest though, then I may add a lesson 👍🏻
@@BenClaremontI’d be interested 😁 Thanks for the informative video!
@@SeoulMan2020 my pleasure!
Lol I just realized by looking at the thumbnail that resolve can edit 360 🤦🏻♂️ silly me exporting from 360 studio in ProRes to resolve lol
any 360 capable editors on linux?
Not sure sorry
Missed a chapter marker at 5:29 for DaVinci?...
Thanks, just fixed it.
Can Insta360 studio work with non-insta 360° video files?
It works with any Insta360 footage but not other cameras. That said, there is no reason to use it unless you’re reframing or stitching 360 videos.
@@BenClaremont Yeah cool. That's what I thought. It's just that I have some old Samsung Gear 360 footage that I was thinking of editing.
Are there any good Android programs
Insta360 mobile app is the main one
🎉
One thing you didn't mention is if you purchase DaVinci upgrade, you get free upgrades for life.
Sure, as you do with the free version.
Nobody ever mentions Vegas Pro
Since when is that a 360 video editor?
@@BenClaremont The new version is. I’m not sure when they kicked off because I’m just getting into 360 editing so didn’t pay attention before.
I just wish insta 360 studio had all the features the app has
Indeed
