Ohhh
Far out.
Woo, that was wild.
Okay, so Insta360 camera owners.
I've got four new cool effects to show you.
So regardless of whether you own
the brand new Insta360 one RS, the one X2
or the original one R.
You can apply all four of these effects quickly
and easily within the Insta360 mobile app.
The first effect is called Cinelapse.
Which is kind of like a Hyperlapse,
except the point of view changes so frequently,
it will make your head spin
but it's a seriously cool effect.
And the way you capture it is identical
to how you would capture a normal Hyperlapse
by putting your camera on a selfie stick
and walking for at least 30 seconds.
And you wanna make sure your environment has some kind
of interesting features in it.
Don't walk through an empty park
instead walk through your local city, walk past buildings,
walk past any close foreground objects you can find.
And you will need at least two shots to achieve this effect.
So the first shot I took here, walking down the street
in my local neighbourhood for about a minute and a half.
I then went into Sydney's CBD and captured a 15 minute clip
which includes some much better views
and a lot more movement in general.
So with the Cinelapse I'm going to combine
these two shots together.
Firstly, I'm going to trim all the unnecessary footage
that I don't want included in this effect.
So now under the stories tab in the Insta 360 app
we're going to choose the shot lab effect Cinelapse.
Next we're going to choose our two
or more clips in sequential order.
And the app now does the rest.
And there we go.
The app has used AI to cut seamlessly
between these two shots and reframe the video
to what it thinks the most important visual elements
of these scenes are.
It doesn't always get them right
but for the most part, this shot looks awesome.
The next effect is called Freeze Throw.
And when I first saw this one, I thought, oh no.
So what you do is record 360 video with 5.7K resolution
then throw the camera up in the air as carefully as you can.
Now, if you're someone that's clumsy
and yes that includes me sometimes.
Then don't do this shot.
It's not worth risking a $400 camera.
But if you think it's safe, then go ahead and do it.
And what this effect does is it turns that 360 video
into a 360 photo at the highest part of the throw.
So here it stops and pans around Sydney Harbour
before then turning back into a 360 video.
And as someone who has broken...
I've lost count.
As someone who has broken a lot of 360 cameras.
Don't do what I did here which is nearly dropping the camera
into Sydney Harbour.
Instead do this if it's safe.
So if you're in a park with grass underneath.
Anyway, the next effect
is called Center Stage.
And how I best describe this one it's kind of
like extreme motion tracking, when you're moving the camera
around a lot on a selfie stick.
And the effect keeps the subject
which they recommend is someone else
in the dead center of frame.
Here I tried it with one of my friends
and the result was definitely decent.
Then I had the idea to try this effect on my own
where I put the camera on a selfie stick
and held it in random directions.
And hey, that's not too bad.
It's like extreme centering
no matter how much you move the camera.
But I do think this effect would be best
with two people where one person is standing still
or doing something on the spot
and the other the one is moving around the subject
with the pause of a second between each move
to create almost like a drone like effect.
I know we've always been able
to do this in the Insta360 app
but I guess this is a more streamlined
or quicker way of centering a subject.
The final new effect is called
Clone Loop.
And while I've covered multiple clone effects
on my channel over the years, this one is a bit different
in that you can clone yourself in 360 video
and move around the camera simultaneously,
as opposed to the Shadow Clone effect where it's a 360 video
but you have to remain in one spot
throughout the entire clip.
So this is a more advanced version of that
and it works super well.
All you do is set up your camera on a monopod,
so it has a good vantage point.
Set your camera to 5.7K 360 video, press record
and do your silly dance or run or whatever it is
all the way around the camera
maintaining roughly a
1.5 meter distance.
Then just like with all of the other Insta360 effects
you follow the prompts within
the shot lab section of the App and that's it.
Four new effects with Insta360 cameras.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Me, myself and I have some dancing to do.
