Just got the Insta360 One X? congratulations! it's the best 360 camera
in the market today now if you want to make the most of your Insta360 One X then
this video is for you. got a special guest in the show today.
he's a friend who's been shooting videos for over 10 years and he believes that
anyone can shoot great videos including me here's Shanil. oh hey Mic that's
exactly right I want to help people bridge the gap
between the technology and their creativity. we are both passionate about
helping people make awesome videos so how about you and I share our best tips
and tricks with the Insta360 One X. Great idea Shanil! Epic! let's get started!
Tip number 1 how to avoid blur one of the most common questions I get about
the Insta360 One X is, "Why is my video blurry?"
what you're seeing is probably motion blur. when you're shooting in low-light
the Insta360 One X defaults to a slow shutter speed in order to reduce noise.
but with slow shutter speed there will be more blur. so to avoid this go to the
video settings and change the shutter speed Auto to fast this means that it
will default to a faster shutter speed or if you're shooting with the Insta360 One X app go
to the manual exposure mode for video and set the shutter speed through 1/125
or higher. To remove the black cloud at the bottom of your footage go to
settings nadir logo and set the logo to none. to
turn off the Insta360 One X watermark go into your One X app settings and turn off
official watermark. now have you ever noticed that the date and time on your
files is usually wrong? that's because every time you run out of battery or if
you remove the battery from the One X, the date and time resets to December 31, 2017
or January 1, 2018. Setting the date and time is super easy. all you
got to do is connect the One X to your smartphone
either wirelessly or via cable. the One X will sync its clock to your smart phone.
if you only have one battery then make sure you're carrying a power bank so you
can charge the One X in between your shots. here's another way to save battery
turn off the wireless signal on the Insta360 One X
go to the settings go to Wi-Fi and simply turn it to auto and when you're
ready to shoot with the One X app then just turn the setting back on or if
you're using the iOS version it can actually connect to the One X even when
the wireless signal is off now if you won't be using your One X for a while
you can save battery even more by removing the battery but just remember
to set the date and time again just like what I mentioned in my previous tip by
the way if you are new to this channel fYI it's about 360 and 3PV cameras

place the One X lens down into the pouch to protect the lens. the easiest way to
clean your One X is by using a lens blower or by using a lens pen and
remember to never put the lens on a hard surface because I'm sure you don't want
to scratch your lens. now do you want your subjects to look good? then avoid
the stitch line. It's that area between the lenses so you want to point this away
from your primary subject especially your friends and family. on a sunny day
avoid one lens facing the Sun this is because the lens facing the Sun will
expose brighter and the lens away from the Sun will expose darker. so instead
make the side of the camera face the Sun so there's equal amounts of exposure on
both lenses. here's a tip for sunny days turn on your HDR video mode in this mode
the Insta360 One X processor uses
DOL-HDR (Digital overlap high dynamic range) which
lets it capture an extended dynamic range especially for highlights now it's
best to use HDR video mode when your One X is on a tripod. use the invisible
selfie stick to get a third person view. Bend your knees
and walk slowly for a steady shot. now here's a tip that'll make it easier to
edit your videos aim the front of the One X toward your subject. But Mic, it's a 360
camera. it doesn't have a front and back. well actually it does. see this LED
screen? this side is the front of the One X. whatever is in front of the camera when
you start recording your video is going to be the first thing that your
viewer will see in their 360 video. when editing your One X videos on the app make
sure to tap back every 5 minutes to save your work. tap back into the edit to
continue where you left off. here's a cool tip that very few people know about
there's a shortcut to editing your One X video so that you don't have to use
keyframes. all you gotta do is point the front of the One X to your subject and
in post-processing, turn on "direction hold." With this technique you can keep
the One X pointed to your subject without keyframing. to extract a 360
photo from your 360 degree video, input your One X footage into studio for One X.
move the yellow cursor to where you want to take a photo and press the snapshot
button to save it
now you can do that too on the One X app just select the video and when the video
is loaded you can select the view that you want and then tap on that dotted
square in the bottom to take a snapshot. the snapshot will show up in your
phone's Photos app or gallery app. if the One X app is not responding on your
Android phone then you need to force close it and open it again to do this go
to settings go to apps find the Insta360 One X app open it tap force stop and now
open the app again and now everything will be ok. here are tips for better
colors on your video first if you want your video to look more professional
then use the manual white balance so that way the color won't change from
scene to scene. the easiest way to do it is just go to the white balance setting
and just try out the different settings see which one looks the most neutral to
you and stick to that setting. another tip for more vibrant colors is to turn
off the log mode unless you're going to apply a LUT in post processing. to remove
the microSD more easily use another microSD and carefully push the SD card
in and it will pop out and then use the SD card push the SD back in there. The
easiest way to transfer files from your One X to your PC is by using the data
transfer cable so plug it into your One X and into your
PC then turn the One X on and the One X will connect.
now here's a time-saving tip when you're downloading videos from the One X to your
smartphone app, guess what? your One X can still record videos! you don't have to
wait for your videos to download completely. there are two ways to export
videos faster using the One X app the first way is to turn off power saving
mode so go to your settings your battery settings and then turn off power saving
mode the second way is to keep your phone on charge whilst exporting the
video. if you love over capture fYI you can also do that on the desktop using
the new Insta360 Studio for One X version 3.2.1 or later. In fact you'll be able to create overcapture videos
without stitching the video first and you'll have stabilization too. another
great software for overcapture videos is Adobe Premiere. on Adobe Premiere you
can import your One X files directly you don't have to stitch them first and then
you can go straight to editing now if you want to learn how to edit your
videos on Insta360 Studio for One X or Adobe Premiere then check out these
videos. now here's a bonus tip and this is a really important one learning from
my previous mistakes with the gear 360. so if you mount the Insta360 One X on a
light tripod please make sure to put some weight at the bottom of the tripod
so it doesn't get knocked over now I actually thought it's a bright
sunny day there was no wind but then out of nowhere a gust of wind came and blew
my camera down so no matter what the weather just make sure to put some
weight there because you need to be careful of kids running around animals
or tourists just walking into it just not seeing it there so just please make
sure to take that extra precaution when you're out filming that's it. now if you
