Oh my God..
this is too good to be true.
I've heard legends of this place, but I didn't think it was actually legit.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Welcome to...
...The Pokemon Center!
Oh my God. I'm totally geeking out right now. There is Pokemon as far as the eye
can see. Let's take a look around!
Get out of the way boys and girls,
the real master has arrived! I'm level 31 on Pokemon Go, so don't mess with me!
Alright, I thought I'd come somewhere a little bit quieter. Welcome to my Airbnb
here in Osaka, and I've got some really good news. There's an amazing new app
that is just been released, that's going to allow you to edit your 360 photos, not
only as tiny planets or whatever viewpoint you like. But you can also
animate your 360 photos and move between several points within the image. This is like
Insta360 studio for photos. We've been waiting for this for a long time.
It's always been hard to do this. But now, you can do it very easily on your phone
And this magical, amazing app is called,
[drum roll].. Theta+
That's right. Our friends from Ricoh have now amalgamated the two apps into one. That
used to be Theta+ and Theta+ video. Now, it's just Theta+, and you can work with
both photo and video inside of it. And not only that, but you can do this with
any 360 camera. It's not just the Ricoh Theta cameras. No matter what you have, it
will work. I tested out a few different images from different cameras already,
and it worked. So that's extremely good news. And, even better news is, it's free
for both iPhone and Android. We'll link it down there. So let's jump straight into it.
I've just opened up the Theta+ app, and straight away, you'll find your
camera roll where it will detect all the 360 photos. You want to navigate to the
photo that you want to edit, and I like this one here. And straight away, it looks
really similar to the way it did before. So we have a few different viewpoints. We
have mirror ball, little planet, dual screen, flat and straight. Personally, I
like little planet the most. Because it allows you the most amount of control so
you can zoom in real tight on anything you like, or you can zoom
right out, however you like. It's very easy and intuitive. Just use your finger.
And there in seconds, I've already got an inverted planet that I'm really happy
with. At the very bottom of the screen, you'll notice a few things. Firstly, we
have filters. These are kind of like presets, like Instagram filters. But
personally, I prefer editing colors manually which is where the next option
comes in. So tap that one there. And now we have control over our exposure,
already that is better, much better. Contrast, color, temperature, great.
Highlights and shadows. Finally, saturation there. Bring up the color of
those pokéballs make this image nice and vibrant. And I'm happy with that. So
finally in the bottom right, we can choose our frame. So we can keep it
vertical, we can make it square, we can make it horizontal and so on. I'm gonna
make it square because I'm gonna post it on Instagram, and already, I've got an image
that I'm really happy with. So I'm gonna hit the 'Save' button at the top right, and
this is gonna save to my camera roll. BAM! I've got an awesome inverted planet
ready to go for Instagram. But what if, however, we wanted to move between several
points of this 360 photo? Well, that's where animation comes in, and at the
moment, no animation is selected. Go to 'animation' and straightaway, you'll see a
whole bunch of presets that are prearranged movements. But personally, I
like having control over the image myself, which is why I'm going to choose
customized, and do my own custom movement. So firstly, I'm going to go into little
planet mode as I did before. And what you'll want to do is choose your first
viewpoint. So I'm gonna start in really close on my face, like uncomfortably
close. And when you're happy with your first point, press the 'crosshair' in the
bottom right. So that's gonna be our first frame. Now let's use our second
frame. I want to go into an inverted planet like that. So I want that to be
the next point it transitions to. So again, I'm going to hit the 'crosshair'. And
why don't we add another one? You can add as many as you like. So, maybe I'll do a
spin into this frame here. So I'll hit 'crosshair' again, and now, let's play it
back and see what it looks like. So straight away, there we go. It's a nice,
smooth camera movement into the inverted planet, and then it moves up into our
final frame. However, you may have noticed, when I manipulated the third frame, I did
a full 360 before I got there. And it's just gone straight up instead of doing a
spin. This is where we want to customize our transitions. To customize
a transition, press the black and white 'arrow' in between the two
frames. And you'll see, at the top there, it says direction. It went the shortest
way. We want to go at the longest way to get from points A to B. So I'm going to
select a long way, and there you go. There you can see now. It's doing the full 360
as I intended, and it's going into my final frame. Underneath that, you can see
speed, so we can make it a fast transition or a slow one. Let's make it
fast. Just get it over and done with. Next, we have easing, and this is where we
customize the kind of movement between the two points. So we can make it fast
and jarring, we can make it smooth and then fast, we make it fast and then
smooth. And you'll see there's a bunch of presets here that will reflect those
movements. Finally, at the very bottom we have 'stop'. And this means how long it
will pause on each individual frame. Once you're happy, press 'done', and you'll
notice in the middle of our frame, we have that blue line. This indicates our
movements. So it's essentially showing us, this is the track we've just created. To
adjust any individual thing within our animation, you'll want to go to the
timeline down the bottom. And now, I have one of the frames selected. I can adjust
that frame. Say, I want my head to be even bigger than it already is,
I can do that. if I want to adjust a transition, I just press the transition,
and now I have the adjust transition options.
I think I'm happy with this. This is a nice little ten-second animation I can
upload to Instagram, and bring my 360 photo to life. So, I'm gonna hit "finish"
off the top right. And again, we have our filters we have the presets. But also, we
can do our custom color correction and custom aspect ratio. Square is Instagram
friendly, so I would suggest using a square. Now finally, we're gonna hit to
"save' up the top right and bam! We just animate a 360 photo in around a minute.
Real quick, I want to show you where you can do with your 360 videos inside the
Theta+ app. But first, I'm gonna need some footage
Okay now, I've opened the app once again. I've downloaded and stitched my footage,
and I'm going to import my first clip, and just 'select' and go 'edit' video. So
with the video files, the app allows you to reframe, say as a little planet,
you can go dual screen. flat, straight and Mirrorball. The same options we had
before. I'm going to choose little planet for this shot here. You can now do a few
more things that you couldn't do before in the Theta+ video app. We have
filters. We can choose our in and out points, we can change the frame speed. So
want this to go really fast. And finally, we can add music to our video. This is
pretty basic. But still, it's a good way to edit tiny planet videos on your phone
without having to go to a computer. Once you're happy, hit the 'Save' button up the
top right, and it's gonna save to our camera roll. BAM!
So how awesome was that?
The reframing game has changed, and now you can do everything you need on mobile, in
minutes. So that is awesome. It's gonna totally change the way I shoot both the
photos and videos. In my video course there's an entire lesson dedicated to
reframing. And you know what, there are many ways of doing it. You can do it on
mobile, you can do it in Insta360 studio, you can do it in Premiere and, you can do
it on Facebook. So I'll teach you all about that in my video course. Check it
out, the link down there. As usual, hit that subscribe button for more 360 tips and
tricks. I'll put a link to both apps down in the description, so you can find
them there. Alright gotta go. Bye.
