- The Insta360 One X is amazing, but working with the media files can be really frustrating. With all this potential, what’s the best way to get your files from the camera through editing to RUclips? And, what does GoPro have to do with this? #insta360 #Videoproductionequipment #videoediting

19:22 Working with .insv, mp4 and LongGOP media and why file conversion might help
Most content creators aren’t using the 1X for 360 videos. Instead this camera really shines when you shoot in 5.7 k and then reframe your shots to 1080, adjusting the camera movement, framing and focal length.
There are a bunch of different ways to do that. If you own a 1X you’ve probably discovered that none of them are… well… perfect. They each involve compromise. So let’s talk about how to get the most from each option, and when to use an alternative. It can be a little confusing so I will show you four options… the mobile app, the Studio 1X desktop app, Premiere plug-ins and finally file conversion.
For flexibility and control, download, install and use GoPro’s VR plugins for the Adobe suite. The results are often better than what you get from the One X Studio application and they work in both After Effects and Premiere.
The easiest and most accessible way to prepare your footage is to use the Insta360 phone app. You can transfer your footage via WiFi or connect a cable to your phone. Once the media is on your phone you reframe the footage the way you want it, and save it as a new MP4 file. One problem is the Insta360 1X app does not let you control compression settings or format when exporting your new file.
This camera creates source files in a proprietary format. These .insv files are essentially an mp4 file that maxes out at 120 mega-bits-per-second. Not great, not awful, but because its MP4 its compressed. Now when you transfer this source file from the camera to the app, reframe you shots and then export it, you will be creating a new, even more compressed mp4 file using that already compressed source footage. But wait we’re not done if you plan to use this new file as source footage during editing because it will eventually be compressed at least one more time when you output your final video. That’s at least 3 rounds of compression. Some with no control over codec or bitrate.
The lame export process doesn’t mean you abandon the mobile app. Especially since some key features like motion blur on hyperlapse, optical flow and some slomo features are only available here. What it really means is asking yourself the question, “can I accomplish what I want later in editing using the original file?” If yes then I skip using my phone. If the answer is no, because I need motion blur for example, then I am outputting from the app.
A second production path is using the Insta360 Studio desktop application designed for working with 1X media. But forget trying to run the most recent 1X Studio application on a laptop. The software is unstable, it freezes, it crashes, media won’t play smoothly, if at all. And like the phone you still have to recompress files for output. The experience with my desktop computer is better, mostly because it is a custom made, enterprise-level beast designed for 6K editing. Most folks just don’t have that kind of horsepower available. Additionally, the studio software is missing many of the best functions you find on the mobile app.
I would love to show you the Insta360 1X Adobe plugin. They advertise it as if it already exists. But I’m not finding it. Even after repeated installations of the 1X Studio desktop app.
That’s why I gave up and went to a plug-in that works. GoPro. As I said off the top, download, install and use GoPro’s VR plugins for the Adobe suite. You won’t have motion blur for hyperlapse, I still use the mobile app for that, but I have greater control over my framing, the fluidity of my keyframes, my color correction and can even get better results with bullet effect.
You made 3 times better review and tutor for this cam, as anyone else, with the details of usage with GoPro plugin! Amazing content, keep doing!
Totally agreed, thanks for this!
Looks like a tv show more than a regular review. This is absolutely amazing! Congrats Sir.
Yeah wtf. Dudes quailty/graphics is outta this world
@@rocketsauce08 Thanks for the props. Usually my drawings look like they were done by a 4-year-old so seeing you comment that they didn't suck makes the time I spent in AfterEffects worthwhile. And thanks for watching.
I really like this guy. He's trying super hard to keep up with the camera gimmicks the big RUclipsrs do and it comes off really adorkable. Very refreshing. And he really knows his stuff, which is the whole point anyway.
I'm going to rewatch this as soon as I have the camera... thank you for this ...this comforts me
SusannGER RIGHT?!
Holly Cow!!!! The most real and most educational video I have seen of the Insta360 One X thus far. Excellent montage, visual effects, and even the sounds on the compression example. Thanks for this video.
I don't have an Insta360 but your video contained some excellent nuggets for my regular editing. Great and very clear.
Hello! You may want to visit Insta360's downloads again. The new version (Insta360 Studio 2019 ) with Premiere Pro was released March 14th. Works differently.
@@riseandrun5837 Thanks, for the feedback
@@riseandrun5837 Do you have a really powerful computer? The Insta360 Studio 2019 works soooo slow for me.
Agree. They have certainly addressed some of the performance issues with the desktop Studio app. And I think the Premiere plug-in (which really is about stitching equirectangular footage upon import rather than working with the files during editing) is also working a bit smoother. At least if feels like it. The desktop app is still pretty flaky on my laptop, but I agree it is not as bad. I have a feeling it has something to do with how the software is using the GPU. It does not feel as fluid as Adobe or Resolve. But progress is progress. Now if only they would port some of the features from the iOS side over to the desktop side I would be very happy.
This is a one stop shop for technical information on the Insta360 One X! Finally got the answer I've been looking for on the maximum bitrate on exporting reframed shots....and then some! Thanks for all of this! Subbed :)
Came for the 360 One X stuff, stayed for the what is MP4 and Pro Res. Thanks!
Yes, I watched it, til the end, you're dynamic and straight to the point. A few humorous anecdotes makes it lively and funny. You're good and I loved that tutorial. Just got my insta360 X camera today. Looking forward to do great videos too. Cheers,
By far the best video talking about workflow for this camera, I had never heard of using the go-pro plug ins for this but it makes so much sense!
This is what's called perfect content creation. Thanks mate.
I'm at halfway in the video and found the narration very informative and to the point. Loved it. The best 360 video editing tutorial to the moment.
This is a masterfully thought out and edited video - and very timely for me, I might add... My brand new Insta360 One X is sitting in its unopened box right next to me, and I've just upgraded my Premiere CS5 to the latest Adobe suite. Guaranteed I would have been floundering with importing and editing the footage (it's my first 360 camera). Thanks to your video I feel much better prepared to tear in and get creative. Kudos!
P.S. New sub - I'm looking forward to watching more!
After watching your video which is very nicely presented and very comprehensive, I just wanted too add, that the insta360 Studio install, where there is a checkbox to install Premiere plugins, is not for the VR Control. They are only the insta360 file format video and image importer plugins. As you suggested, Use Go Pro plugins for Framing etc.
I'm 1/4th into your video. But I just wanted to say, you are very informative and deliver content amazingly. I never really take the time to acknowledge videos I watch, but you've won me over. Keep it up!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate the feedback. The dialog we all have together here really helps me to figure out what works and what doesn't. So much so the next video will be an idea (problem) posted by someone in the community.
Very good information, I love the way you explained everything. I was one of the people that stayed to the very end so don’t be too shocked. You just earned yourself a subscriber buddy.
I've been looking for tutorials for my new Insta. Your tutorial is hands down the best, clearest, most definitive version. You explain the steps, your use of screencaptures is top notch. I a definitely a happy new subscriber, and wish you ever more success.
I’ve came back to this video a number of times so informative! If you haven’t already please share another video with an update on how you’re using the insta 360 now and maybe even more details! Thanks so much!!
10/10 review of the Insta 360, mine is on the way
animations (4:29) are so amazing... whatever you teach on this channel would be so easy to understand
hey there Storyguide! I found you by accident and will subscribe very happy! Fenomenal details, fantastic tut, no BS and excessive ads. WOW! Tks for doing it
LOL!! Sue is the best name for the camera - it's my name too! You made me laugh several times throughout your excellent video. I've found it quite annoying working through the 'can do' and 'can't do's' in the various software for the OneX and had lots of issues working in Premier, also finding I'd downgraded the footage quality somehow. So it's been wonderful to watch your video and know that I'm not going mad or got too old to work these things out. These issues had made me shy from playing with the editing which normally I enjoy the challenge. I love the camera and will now go back to square one! Thank you for sharing! WELL DONE
Thanks Sue for the kind words. I named my car "Pearl", guess we just named my 1X "Sue". :) I am glad you found it helpful. We are pushing the tech in unanticipated ways and that means lots of roadblocks. But together as creators and filmmakers will will figure out the best and most efficient ways to tell our stories. Sure it can be frustrating, but sometimes those puzzles are the fun part. The key word there is "sometimes". More often than not it just hacks me off. As you discover new solutions I'd love to hear about it. That is how all of us get better.
I had my first experience working with the insta360 . I had to make sure to export my file to mp4 within the insta studio by saving it into a file folder, and not on a main drive. For some reason it would not export for me if i didnt do it that way. Then, I had to cut down the file size some more within Filmora 9 (Davinci Resolve studio would not accept the 360 file for some reason). Then the upload to youtube for a 15 minute uncut 360 video took about 2 hours and additional 2-4 hours of youtube processing the 360 file for view. Not something I want to do everyday for raw 360 video, but im sure its different and easier to work with youtube if you edited keyframes in the insta360 app.
Love how informative this was in a clear and precise way. Good production, editing and straight forward which I appreciate. Subbed.
Tasty Loot Gaming like
i am doing a ton with this camera right now with snowboarding against my gopro 7.
it's been interesting and the results are so different than i originally thought.
Awesome information. Thank you very much. I found nowhere such a detailed explanation of what really happens in exporting!
You're like the Bill Nye of Insta360. Thank you for this informative and entertaining review!!
Wonderfully done! This is "Master Class" quality content. Thank you!
thanks for this..watching this at 2am in Beijing.
Watched from beginning to end and love every second. Big thumbs up 👍
Well, I may be a rare case but I do use my One X for full 360 VR video, and love it. Of course, viewing on a flat panel is lame (wiping across and up and down to move the image). You have to use a good VR headset. Do that, and you will be amazed. It's not like you brought home great videos of someplace, it's like you are there.
I looked at your chanell cool 360 videos man. Did you have to go through all of this hell to upload pure 360 videos like you did? Or is it much more straight forward
@@vrdrifter4933 Thanks, I'm new to this and just learning like most of us! Here's my workflow. If you have any thoughts or anything I can learn, please let me know!
1. Take the video clips with my insta360 One X.
2. Pull the microSD card out, put it in the SD adapter, then transfer the files to my laptop.
3. Use the insta360 Studio for One X to merge the two mystery files into one stabilized .mp4 file per video clip.
4. I then edit the files (trim, text, dissolves, add music, etc) using Pinnacle Studio 21, since that's what I had already and it can do limited 360. Note it can only go up to 3840x1920, which is less than the camera can generate. The output is another .mp4 file.
5. Before uploading to RUclips, I run the file through the google metadata injector that you have to download first. Here is the link:
support.google.com/youtube/answer/6178631
It only takes a few minutes to process, and adds _injected to the file name
6. Upload to RUclips. With the metadata injected, RUclips knows it's 360 so you don't have to somehow tell it. Yes, all a PITA but I think it's cool, too.
Absolutely the best tutorial so far! Really organized and well thought. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Best tutorial of Insta 360 ever
I recently posted a trip video I did from my California using only the insta360 camera and it was a pain to edit! Wish I would have seen this video before! Thank you very much for sharing this!
Great video. Insta workflow can be so cumbersome. This certainly helped me understand a thing or 2
Finally someone is addressing the issues no one else is taking about. I did try installing the br plugins into premier 2019 but they won’t show up wierd
It appears the current plug-in is not for reframing or increasing the functionality of working with the media in Premiere/AE. It is there strictly for managing the stitching settings (normal, dive case, etc.) and stabilization. Important tools, but not part of storytelling or composition. They offer instructions for leveraging the current plugin here: bit.ly/2TEAhll But I agree, the software support is rather disappointing for such an incredible piece of hardware. And thanks for watching and the comment.
Now that is a very well made & informative video, well done sir!
Perfect tutorial! Very honest and no like other sponsor reviews out there on RUclips!! Regards!!!
You should look into using the ProRes media as proxies for the original MP4 media. This way you get the speed of editing in ProRes, and the quality of the original media when you go to render.
Dont get me wrong am full time camera operator... This is consumer camera and at this price tag you cant expect to have raw footage. It is a great tool and am working with every tool that will do the job done. Somtimes we use mobile phones, gopros etc combind with Sony FS7 mkii and dslrs... If its helps you tell the storry am fine with it. You just cant beat that price of 400$ and the creativity you can get it from this little camera even if that mean to sacrifice a little bit of the video quality 😉
Thanks for the video i enjoy watching it
Could not agree more. Use the best tool you have available to tell your story. For me the OneX is an additional tool that gives unique insight and perspective for a viewer. The audience could care less what camera you use as long as you tell a good story. Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to comment. It is appreciated.
Awesome video, thank you so much. I recently bought the camera but haven't been able to figure out a workflow that works for me, this is spot on.
You my friend are now bookmarked in my browser permanently! Great job explaining.
Thank you so much. Best review I have come across so far. You have just earned yourself a new subscriber. :)
Great video, thanks! With so many workflow options it gets a bit overwhelming and you do a fantastic job of presenting the benefits and drawbacks.
Thanks Jeff!
Excellent explanations, great advice and wonderful links! Thanks!
I am new to 360. I learnt so much from you. Thank you.
I am quite impressive about your explanation on how mp4 works when editing, thats explains a lot why is such hard to work with mp4 files on the adobe premier, as an enthusiast for editing, this video helped me a lot understanding about editing 360 videos and compression process. Thanks for the amazing video and explanations! Just subbed!
Very helpful drew! Thanks for going so far into the technical details...just what I was looking for
Wow what a nice pile of valuable information.
Thank you!
After watching other videos ,often produced by big names I felt like a stray dog getting only cramps .
I haven’t seen any of your videos before but this one convinced me to subscribe
I'm planning to get the same 360 camera and I appreciate the information you've shared.
awesome i just got this camera back in January and had to go down a lot of the same steps you just mapped out here. thanks for making the video. i didnt realize how intense mp4 files were on my computer. i have been editing with those this whole time. definitely need to try out the media encoder
Thanks a lot for putting this video together. I am new to all this and it answered a lot of questions for me. I would be lost without your information. So again thank you for taking the time out to do this :)
hello from NYC! I got this updated version of Insta 360 camera for Valentines. I enjoy this camera a lot and I appreciate your video showing us these great tips. Maybe you can update us once you received some answers from your subscribers. Thank you!
I want to use the X and the Go as my primary cams for our vlog, so don't really care to use the apps for editing. Your tutorial is the most helpful for getting those files straight on to my PC from the cams. I still have my confusions, though, in the best way to get from my devices to my main editing software. Is their software better today? Any chance an update to this video for straight to PC editing is on your horizon?
Love the video. It’s clear you put a lot of time and effort into them. Keep up the good work!
Great information. I saw some premiere functions i didn't know about, thanks.
Really nice balance of detail and overview. Thanks!
Such a great overview and explanations, just subscribed! Thank you 😉👍🏼
Hi StoryGuide, quick question... on your bullet time footage it looks like you're recording it using one of the regular video mode (and not the dedicated in-camera "bullet time" mode). Is that correct? I love the ability to pan/tilt around in post but it seems like this requires recording in one of the regular video modes (the "bullet time" mode only gives me a flat 16x9 video, not orientation-adjustable 360 footage).
My question is how were you able to get your "regular mode" bullet time footage to stay centered on you the whole time. When I use the selfie-stick and bullet time handle but record in a "regular mode" video my footage doesn't keep me in the middle of the frame and requires key-framing every frame manually to keep me in the center. Clearly in your video example here you were able to avoid that but I'm not sure how. Any insight?
...The same question.. :)
Amazing, I finished the entire video and learned a lot!
Wish I had found your video first... great video
Great video, very professional presentation. I have a iMac 3.4g with 40g of RAM and the Studio 2019 software works well but is limited. The most important this I have found so far is to make sure that your shutter speed is set to fast, not auto and white balance is not set to auto. Under certain circumstances the auto shutter can slow down so much that it makes for really crappy looking footage. Also auto WB can lead to different WBs for each side of the camera, causing a line in the footage. If you do use the Insta software make sure to export 4K res and at least 60mbps bitrate for decent quality.
Thank you sir, now I convince to get one. Amazing video
Outstanding information and tutorial. Would love to see you do more on this camera and its workflow(s). Thank you!
I have lots more to share. Now if only the paying gigs would get out of the way so I could create more channel content I would be happy. Oh wait, being too busy with production is rarely a bad thing. Thank you for watching and the nice words. Have fun with the camera. It is a ton of fun to shoot with.
Thank Gawd for RUclips Videos like Yours!!!
Just getting started and (even though I have a MacBook Pro and a QNAP NAS and Dell SSD for remote editing over Thunderbolt 3) I was lost - not being a Premier user - on how to start... would never have thought of using GoPro’s plug-in (even though Insta360’s plug-in may be out by now (Sep 2019?)
I can not wait and it is as you publish and it will be spectacular and unique, that she comes fast, I need her to work !!!!! Best
In what format do you import your insta 360 file into Premiere .insv, or from the insta360 studio software, after stitching and is now an MP4 file?
24:58 has your answer
Very thorough, nice!
Very valuable informations! Thank you for taking time and share this with us! Keep it coming! :)
thank you so much sir for this helpful information...✨😊love from INDIA
This is the first One X video where I actually felt like I learned something I can use even when using different cameras. You are a very good teacher. So maybe you can figure this problem I have. Premiere Pro 2018 just doesn't recognize the .insv format so I can't import the footage. When Premiere boots up I see Insta360importer.prm in the loading screen so I don't know why I am having this problem. I am on Windows 7 and I think I am going to have to start over with Windows 10 from scratch and see if that solves this little hiccup but other than this one problem I am happy with my setup. I think remnants of past Adobe products may be the issue which is why a fresh Windows 10 install may be what works. If you have an easier solution I would love to hear it.
Wow, man! Some great info here!!! I learned a few things. Thanks!!!!
You know your technicals. Great job
Great tutorial , -thank you. I really needed that guide to make better decompressed output. Very helpful.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Wow... I just got the insta360 and used the footage on my app then exported to my desktop editor... I couldnt understand why the quality was so poor.
Yes very informative and helpful. Thanks.
Wish they had a plugin for Davinci Resolve.
I maybe speaking under correction, but doesnt Davinci use the same plugins as Fusion. I just got the camera today and saw in this video when he downloaded the Go Pro plugin that there was a Fusion plugin. I would be interested if that works, because since Blackmagic purchased Fusion from Eyeon Software, they have made Fusion now look like Davinci and somewhat incorporated them. Also the free version of Fusion doesnt support plugins. Cant say if the free Davince does either.
KartaVR
Nice. Thanks for the tutorial. I'm new with 360 camera.
Wow, that covered way more than I needed, but thanks for your work!
fantastic!! will download the plugging and test it right now
In Premiere, are you working with the original footage or the compressed mp4?
You put so much work into producing this informative video!! Thank youuuuuu- will give the tips a go
Thank you! Exceptional quality
Incase anyone didn't know. Gopro have released a better plugin called GoPro FX Reframe. It works better than the old VR reframe plugin.
When I use the Insta360 Studio 2019 with the native insv files, my playback is smooth and the colors look great. However, when I use Premiere Pro and convert the insv files to ProRes HQ, my colors look washed out and flat. I would prefer to use premiere, but the video looks so much better in Insta 360 Studio. Why are is there such a difference in color? Any Suggestions? Thanks.
Tnx for the video. Whell.... I should look at it a few times more trying to proces all the info you gave. It was very good explained!
Awesome information! Thank you very much for the video! This is exactly what I was looking for! Good work my friend! Seattle is home for me too.
You are a very good presenter,,,, thanks!
thank you for this help. the codec bit has been a huge help
Best Review Ever.
Yeah.. this is the business! Very well made - Thanks!
May have missed it but how and when did you convert the .insv file to .mov as you're showing on your timeline in Adobe Premiere?
24:26
For LUT installation for MAC users drop the lut into these two files (you may need to Create LUTs\Creative etc. first time)
/Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/LUTs/Creative
/Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/LUTs/Technical
Have they made their mobile app better since then?
A very very useful video, thank you!
Well done, and thank you. You have another subscriber because of this one!
Thanks for the video. I personal use CyberLink unfortunately I have to export from Insta360 Studio. I am really baffled by this as Garmin 2017 360 cam did in camera stitching. This is not what Garmin's main business is and they got it right IMHO. Don't get me wrong this is my second Insta360 camera it's amazing when you get things right. Just a lot of dis-appointments. Red Lens flare is top of my list along with video editing. We all do not own iPhone's or own Adobe products.... Great video review along with education. LOL! Bill or George! Anything but Sue!
Thanks so much for this video. I've had mine for less than a week and have lots to learn.
Subscribing now. Looks like you're in Seattle too!
A really good job and without the zippy jerky movements and inane background music that so dominates today's RUclips videos! However one thing really irritates me and that is there is no mention of Final Cut Pro as a much lower cost alternative. Using Adobe means at least a $30.00 monthly ding to your credit card. No one every mentions this! FCP X does almost all the same things as the Go Pro plugin at far less cost! and if you add a couple of low cost plugins, you can key frame all the actions that the Go Pro plugin does in Premier amd is all done in Pro Rex. Plus you can even have you footage temporairly transcoded at a lower resolution if your computer doesn't have enough power. Have you looked at SugarFX? or Alex 4D
