Do you want to create cinematic shots and insane angles with your 360 camera?
in this video I'm gonna show you a free software and tutorial for doing just
that. you'll learn how to reframe your videos and photos from almost any
360 camera from within the same app. I'll also show you the no-stitch workflow
for insta360 without Adobe Premiere and I'll also show you the absolutely
fastest way to edit your videos. it's an exclusive technique you're not gonna
learn anywhere else. by the way this video is going to show you how to edit
your videos as a freecapture overcapture or reframed non-360 video. if you
want to edit your 360 video to show it as 360 or in VR, then check out my other
tutorial. the software that we're going to be learning today is Insta360 Studio for One X
version 3, and it has the feature that most of you have been
asking for, which is the ability to edit freecapture videos. this software works
with most 360 cameras not just from Insta360 and can edit videos up
to 5.7K, and adds new features that we're going to talk about in this is the
Insta360 Studio for One X tutorial. and its coolest feature is the no stitch
workflow with stabilization. and this works with any Insta360 camera not
just the One X, so even if you don't have Adobe Premiere, you're gonna be able to edit
your videos without stitching them first. now why is that important? I'll tell you
in a bit. by the way this channel is about 360 and 3PV cameras. if you want

War in 1950 the world saw its first jet vs. jet dogfights. The US had the F-86 sabre
while the North Koreans were using the mig-15. the mig-15 surprised the
Americans because it could climb faster and was more maneuverable than the f-86
sabre. here's the curious thing. in dogfights the f-86 would win nine times
out of ten. now a well-known fighter pilot named John Boyd analyzed why this was
happening what he noticed was that the mig-15 had a manual flight stick while
the f-86 had a hydraulic flight stick. think of it kind of like manual steering
on really old cars versus power steering. even though the mig-15 was more
maneuverable than the f-86, it took more effort to execute the moves. and that's
why the f-86 beat that mig-15. so what does this have to do with 360 cameras?
when choosing 360 cameras, people are often very focused on image
quality. actually the factor that I think is more important than that is workflow.
workflow? what's that? workflow just means the process that
you have to go through from shooting all the way to sharing your photos and
videos. now when you use a camera that has a faster and easier workflow that
means you can edit your videos more quickly, which means that you get more
practice. and that's how you get better faster. let's check out
Insta360 Studio for One X . alright so I've launched Insta360 studio and I've loaded my
photos here on the left side. first thing you see is this kind of like a warped
view it's called equirectangular view. it's the standard view for 360 photos
and videos. to change the view to a 360 view click on this rectangle
in the upper right corner to change the projection, like the kind of view that
we're going to use, so let's say click on fisheye. so now we should see a fisheye
view and we can look around. now we're not editing the video at this point
we're just looking at it and we're just changing the way it's shown. perspective
would be rectilinear view. so besides changing the view you could also
change the stabilization mode here and you can see there are two stabilization
modes. to learn the difference between them let's check out this other video
that I shot. so here we're at the famous Dumbo ride at Disneyland. and you can see
you know that it just goes around and around. with the normal stabilization
mode you can see that the camera is always pointed the same direction. so
let's say here for example. you see that the
mountain in the background the Matterhorn Mountain. you see that no
matter how the ride turns, the camera is always facing that mountain.
but for other videos the direction mode works better. let's try it out.
let's click on lock direction and now you see this time the view is stabilized.
but it's stabilized according to the view of the camera instead of the
background. so for example here you know if we look forward then it's
always gonna stabilize and show you the forward view of the camera not the
background. here's a tip using Direction lock in tiny planet mode can give your
tiny planet a different spin. you can also change the stitching mode depending
on if you're using one of these other this these special cases like the
venture case or the dive case. just click on the radio button for that and
you'll be able to get a smoother stitch for the case. from here you can do two
things: you can 1. export the video -- just click on this export and it
will be exported as a 360 video. here just click on ok. 2. you
can also get a snapshot so for example here turn around here and if I wanted to
get a shot of me and my daughter click on this camera icon and it's gonna
create this snapshot so you can adjust it how you want and say here like that
and then take a snapshot of that. but the focus of this video is editing your 360
video and using its a non360 video. why would we want to do that? because you
can get some cinematic shots with your 360 camera. let's the begin editing in
overcapture mode just click on this freecapture button on top. notice that
this video still unstitched in Insv format. but you can begin editing
it in freecapture. this is the no stitch workflow for Insta360 cameras
that doesn't need Adobe premiere. it's really one of the best
features of insta360 cameras. there's several advantages to it. first of all
it's faster and easier. just begin editing. you don't have to wait to stitch.
second you'll save space because you don't have to like create a separate
stitched file so it's one less file to deal with. you're just using the
unstitched file and then you're gonna have the edited version and that's it. and
then the third advantage is the image quality because every time you stitch
the video there's gonna be a little bit of compression going on. by
skipping the stitching process you skip one level of compression so we preserve
the image quality as much as possible all the way through the edited video. now
let's begin editing with freecapture mode. so with the free capture mode one
of the things that you can do is change the aspect ratio of the final video. so
by default it's sixteen by nine but if you click on this button you can see
other options like a square, four-thirds, vertical or even anamorphic and if you
want some other ratio you can do that. just click on custom. the only limits are
that the horizontal resolution must be divisible by 16 and the vertical
resolution must be divisible by 8. for example
2544 by 1080. that would be close to anamorphic. a while ago I said that the main
reason for using a 360 video as a non360 video is to get cool camera moves and
the way we do that is through keyframes. now what are keyframes?
well key framing is a concept that was originally from traditional animation. so
you know how like they need thousands and thousands of drawings for a
traditional animation? they had these lead animators like the master artists
and what the master artist would do is just draw like key positions for example
like a hand here and then a hand like this then there would be these other
animators called Inbetweeners and they would draw the intermediate positions
like from here they would move it and slowly close the hand, something like
that. so video editing also uses the concept of key frames to make gradual
changes such as in this case, panning the camera. so let's say in
this video we want to pan the camera from this view to another view. so what
we do is create a keyframe by clicking on this keyframe button here and now
that creates a keyframe over there. now we could adjust the keyframe. you know we
could change the view however we want let's say this view. and we could even
change the kind of projection. so let's say from a fisheye view, we want to make
a tiny planet or let's say rectilinear view. so let's start out with a
fisheye view now let's play the movie and decide that which point we want to
add a keyframe so let's say we want to keyframe right here. so we pause it to
create another keyframe and again decide you know what kind of view it will be. so
let's say it'll be a now a forward view and you know let's say we want it to be
rectilinear. we can do that. so now we go back and because we've already created
the keyframe from the starting position and the ending position, the software
can figure out all the intermediate steps. so watch this I'm going to click
on play and it's going to transition slowly into the forward view besides
adding keyframes changing the view and the projection all that you can also
move keyframes around so just drag them around like this so let's say I want to
move the keyframe like that I can do that or we can delete it by
right-clicking on it and clicking on delete and if you want to add a keyframe
in between you can do that as well so if we wanted to create a new keyframe here
now in addition to keyframes you can also control transitions if you click on
this line here oh it shows you the kind of transition it's using right now it's
a smooth dissolve just a gradual smooth transition now you can also change it to
that's fast to slow or slow to fast or fast slow fast slow fast slow here for
example we'll do a fade in fade out that means
fast slow so this here's what it looks like so it's good to start out slowly
and then it goes fast and then decelerates so kind of makes it look
more natural now one of my favorite types of transitions though is none this
is actually just a cut so here's how it looks so from here we do it just shows
that view and then boom it's just suddenly shows a cut sometimes it's more
effective than patting everything which can get a little tiring after a while
that's basically it for keyframes so easy after this all you have to do is to
click on this export button you'll be prompted to save the file and that means
that next time you open the video all your keyphrase will still be there you
saw it's pretty easy but what if you're in a hurry and you just don't want even
want to do any keyframes so don't worry there's a shortcut
I'll let me show you but here I am at our hotel lobby and we're gonna learn a
shortcut to making over capture videos so let's say I wanted the video where I
was pointing to the chandelier there and then to the painting over there and then
to myself because it's a it's a vlog one way to do it would be to keyframing I
could just like hold the camera here I just keyframe at the point of this
handle here and then through the painting and then to myself but let's
say I wanted to do it without keyframe here we just turned on the camera the
side with the lens is the front gonna be the front of the camera but once you
start recording just point the front to where you want to point so let's say
here we're gonna point to the chandelier like that so it's the front is now
pointing to the shinier point the front to the painting boom like that it's
point to the painting and paint then point it to me like this hey guys I'm
vlogging that's it it's - do I just load the file go to
free capture turn on lock direction and hit on export that's it
we're done it's now time to do the shadow here point the front to the
painting boom like that put to the painting and
then point it to me now are you using the 1x this way are you defeating the
purpose of using it 3 since the camera not at all you still have super
stabilization and the ability to use it as a third-person view camera it's also
easier to aim the camera since all you have to do is be aware of which is front
and which is back don't have it we should be camera yet check out my epic
review of the insert 61 X or do you want to learn the basics of shooting with the
3 C's the camera check out this video thanks and I'll see you in 360
