That way, the new V4 of the Insta360 Studio has both auto frame and timeshift features which the users have been asking for on forums like Reddit for a while. On the bright side, Insta360 seems to be working on updating both their apps non-stop.
On top of that, if your PC doesn’t have a lot of free storage space, you’ll struggle to store your 5.7K videos due to their significant file size. The process of importing and exporting your videos is more complicated than it should be.
For some reason, it bears little resemblance to the Shot Lab and even lacks some editing features that the Shot Lab offers. The PC app is about 5 times more difficult to navigate, let alone complete your editing. If you felt uncomfortable with the number of different editing options and features in the mobile app, we’ve got some bad news about the Insta360 Studio. Some of our favorite creative edits by Insta360 include Stop Motion Mix, Clone Trail, and Flash Dash. Just pick a template and follow the steps. In the app, you’ll find numerous tutorials that detail the editing steps for each video trick.
Anything above iPhone 8 should do, or an Android phone with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip or its equivalent.įor those users who don’t want to waste time learning how to execute cool editing tricks, Insta360 thought of a solution. It’s worth mentioning that you need to own one of the latest smartphones to avoid frustrating delays when using the app. For example, sometimes it takes a few tries before you can connect your One X2 to your smartphone via Bluetooth and WiFi for file transfer and so on. Plus, there are still some bugs waiting to be fixed.
On the other hand, the app can seem over-complicated for someone opening it for the first time. This smartphone app gives you more editing abilities than you could imagine: from timelapses and hyperlapses to freeze frames and AI-powered smart tracking. On one hand, the Shot Lab is absolutely brilliant. The smartphone app is called the Shot Lab, and the PC software’s called the Insta360 Studio. You’ll probably have mixed feelings about it as we did.
The Insta360 editing software is both the best and the worst thing about this camera. Thanks to the decent audio quality that the One X2 delivers, you can also use it as a webcam to live stream to various platforms without having to record your audio separately. It then went back to normal in a couple of minutes, once the One X2 dried off. The only thing that affected the audio in any significant way was putting the camera underwater. We were able to get clear sound on our recordings even when skiing on a windy day.
We tested the One X2 audio recording abilities in different conditions, including strong wind, rain, and snow.
One is PureShot which helps you produce colorful and detailed images in low-light conditions increasing the ISO up to 3200. The One X2 is capable of producing great images, especially if you’re using one of the special photo modes. If you’re a vlogger, this allows you to cut down the time and effort that you spend on post-production. It splits your screen in two and allows you to shoot the narrator of the video and the scene around you at the same time and have a picture-in-picture video ready as a result. The One X2 makes up for it by giving you the ability to record everything around you simultaneously in one video and re-frame it later during editing.Īnother video shooting mode is MultiView which involves AI face-tracking. That means that your One X2 is no competitor for the latest GoPro Hero or GoPro Max. While the video quality in Steady Cam is still decent, you can only get an equivalent of 2.7K video with a wide-angle lens. You can also use the Insta360 One X2 as a normal action camera.
