Hello and welcome to my tutorial “How to edit & reframe 360-videos in Adobe Premiere Pro”. This workflow tutorial can be seen as part 2 of my 360-camera tutorial series: "How to get the best out of your Insta360 ONE X2" or the tutorial of "Insta360 ONE X2 CINEMATIC BTS| Shooting, reframing & editing"
Part 1:
How to prepare your 360-camera
and what are the best Insta360 ONE X2 video settings
Part 2:
How to shoot to get the best-looking footage
and how to edit & reframe your Insta360 ONE X2 360-videos to get cinematic sequences
If you follow these basic Shooting rules, you can't do much wrong:
Point 1: Although the Insta360 ONE X2 has an incredible video stabilization called "Flowstate stabilization", you still have to make sure, that you guide your camera as smooth as possible.
If the camera shake is too high, it will also be noticeable in the 360-video in the form of blurred, out-of-focus artifacts. Especially in low light conditions, this gets worse. So always make sure to guide your camera as smooth as possible, especially when the selfie stick is fully extended.
Point 2: Always try to film in good lighting conditions. This is definitely the most important aspect for a good video quality. In low light conditions you have the problem, that the video footage starts to get noisy and becomes pixelated. I recommend you to film with natural sunlight. There you will get the best results.
Point 3: Prefer a simple environment and not a complex one. What does this mean? An example of a simple environment is a flat landscape with s blue sky. A complex environment is a forest with many details. The reason for this is the video compression. The simpler the environment, the more efficient the compression. In a complex environment, the details are compressed, which results in a more pixelated footage.
Point 4: Don't get too close to objects, because then the stitching line will be visible. Always keep a distance of at least 30cm, if possible.
If you follow these basic rules, you will create high quality 360-videos!
To edit & reframe with Premiere Pro you need to install Insta360 Studio. The Insta360 plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro will be installed at the same time. The Insta360 plugin allows you to seamlessly import your Insta360 video material. Just open Premiere Pro, create a new project and import your Insta360 footage. The Insta360 plugin stitches the two 180° RAW video files together and creates a ready-to-import 360-video.
In the "Source settings", you can adjust the parameters of your Insta360 footage. Before we start with the reframing and editing, two important steps are necessary, which I prefer and recommend.
Step 1 is the frame rate. The imported material has a frame rate of 30fps. I like to slow down the footage to 24fps. This has the advantage, that the video is 20% slower which leads to smoother Shots. To change the imported footage to 24fps, you just have to right click on the file. Then click on "Modify", "Interpret footage". There you activate the option "Assume this frame rate" and enter 24fps.
Step 2 is the creation of proxy files. A proxy file is a low-quality replacement of the original. The advantage of proxy files are, that they allow you to work faster and without jerks. The original file has 5.7k, the proxy file is much smaller and more efficient.
To reframe your Insta360 360° footage you need the third party plugin "GoPro FX Reframe". You can reframe all your footage as I show you in the tutorial.
At the end there is still the "Color grading" missing. Here I make it easy for myself. I click on the tab "color" and immediately, the sliders for color adjustment appear. At Input LUT I select my own created “Gimbal Guru Cinematic LUT”. This LUT immediately adjusts the colors and gives the video a cinematic look.
The last step is the export. To do this, click on "File", "Export" - "Media". The export window will open, where I recommend you the following settings. Select "H.264" and "UA-cam 4k UltraHD".
My goal is, to continue, to create high quality videos and bring you knowledge. I would be happy if you support me with a subscription. Then you will never miss a Gimbal Guru tutorial about 360-video editing, 360-cameras and much more.

Now that the plug-in has a 3rd stabilization option (Optical Flow), do you still turn them all off in Source settings?
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've been trying to edit my footage and it had been a bit of a struggle until I came here
Well done showing how the keyframes work! Thanks!

Thank you so much
YOU'RE A FREAKING BOSS THANKS A MILLION
Thank you.
I've used the 360 before it's very good I was very pleased with it however I wish I had more time with it because it's my friends. I have a few videos on my channel I actually have them but adding in premiere pro would be awesome especially with an oculus quest two great video
appreciate the video but definitely do NOT change the frame rate to 24 FPS if you don't want the footage to slow down. skateboarding, motorcycles, sports of any kind it'll look slow & lose energy in the shot. then you'll have to go back and redo your entire edit after realizing it doesn't look good. Which i'm doing now...
what FPS did you use to shot it? 4k 60fps?
Dialogue is filmed in 24/30fps
Action/stunts 60 or higher fps
Excellent~
Hi! Great video! I'm habing some issues when postprocessing the insta x2 footage in premiere with GoPro reframe fx, it seems like it really lowers the quality! Do you have any idea what could be happening? I love the camera, and your videos are a great inspiration on how to use it to the max! Thank you
perfect explained 🤞
Hey, Dude! Amazing tutorial! Congrats! By the way... do you have any original Insta360 footage to make available for download? Just for the purpose of study? I didn't both the Insta360 yet... but I'd like to already try this workflow. Thanks for all!
Great video
Great video.
Bravo👏
awesome video brother, thank you man. your the best.
Thank you so much for showing your workaround! I just came home from a trip and have a lot of 360 footage, but the quality isn't the same as yours :-( Gonna try again with your workflow :-)
Thank you
Thanks you
Hi. GREAT videos!!! I, too, have an Insta360 OneX and a OneR. And, I also have Adobe Creative Kit. However, whenever I try to create my videos for uploading, the end result always seems to be that the video does not allow for manipulation by the viewer. In other words, when I watch YOUR video (of the waterfall, for example), I'm able to use my cursor to move around. Do you have a tutorial or a cheatsheet which gives a step-by-step on how to create such a video that allows interaction by the viewer? Many thanks!!!
Geht los 😃👍🏼
I just posted my first insta 360 x3 video on my channel after following your tips, I has to start over at 30 frames per sec because it would export correctly with other 24 fps video. The camera picked up all kinds of distortion on the lens in bright light. I uploaded a comparison video with DJI pocket 2, aso the audio was just pretty average on the insta 360, I am going to use a Tascam unit next time. The reframe shots were cool though!

thanks , very useful video
Awsome
Absolutely amazingly clear and concise and has helped me a lot. Thanks for this. However, when I change the framerate to 24fps I get a jerky export and the only way to cure this is to export at 30fps. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for this nice tutorial. Is it possible to track automatically an object for reframe in premiere pro and/or after effects ?
Thanks
this was very helpful
That was an excellent video, thank you!! I have a question though: when you created a new Sequence, why did you select a 1080 preset and then change it to 4K? Why not start with a 4K preset? Also, if I'm rendering my finished video at 1080, what Zoom level (in the GoPro plugin) will result in being too magnified resulted in less detail? In other words, how much can I zoom in on the 360 footage before the crop ends up being smaller than 1080 resolution?
4k preset is also possible, sure! I would not go over a zoom faktor of 80!
@@gimbalguru360 Thx for the quick reply!!
Thanks for the video. This looks like a far better workflow than processing the 360 video first. I downloaded and installed it, dragged the effect onto my proxy clip, but I cannot get the GoPro FX Reframe plugin to work. When I adjust the sliders nothing happens to the video. I am left with a really slow workflow of adjusting everything in Insta 360 first, rendering it and then exporting to Premiere Pro to edit with clips from other cameras. This is not ideal, obviously. I was hoping this would work. Ideas anyone? (My laptop is fairly high spec - 64GB of RAM, 8 cores - 2.3GHz i7, GPU is GeForce RTX 2060)
Is stopping the encoding process still necessary if it is you prefer to keep footage at the original 30fps?
This is simply outstanding. How can Davinci Resolve users like me make the best out of this workflow?
I have had many 360 cameras and finally set on ONE X2 by Insta360 have two, since then have also got 4 x 8K Qoocams to test out, which allows Reframing at UHD, better than 1080, so I can now get Pro quality 4K reframed exports. Looking at my ONE X2 I am now seeing terrible noise in shadowy areas, never had this bad before, any ideas if my settings are bad ? i normally set EV to -0.7 to preserve highlight but the material is so noisy as unusable. Driving me nuts, help ?
Can you mix & match video footage with 360 video on timeline? If so, what would happen to 360 video if your sequence is set to Full HD 60fos and drop 360 video in with other non 360 conventional 60fps video clips? Thanks!
Thanks so much, so helpful!!! One question: How do you reduce up and down shaking from normal walking in Post-Production?
warp stabilizer usually does the trick but might crop/zoom in the footage as part of the software behind it.
Thank you for the tutorial, it has to be hard to make a video like this in a second language! Great job!
Wow that is amazing so much can be done. Need to practice this looks complicated. Those key frames baffle me even doing simple lowering or rasing volume of music gets confusing lol
Is this better or more advanced than using the 360 app on phone or 360 app on mac? And importing footage to premiere pro?
Colour grading confuses me too lol I just use the film stock fuji and make one or two basic changes and then only to my drone footage 😀 I try to keep it all simple....
2:10 (go)pro tip: Put your hand down on the side of the doorframe as if you are resting your hand normally vs holding your arm out like that makes it clearly look like youre holding the selfie stick
😊😊😊❤❤
Nice video. Really making me want to try a 360 x3. I use gopros on my shoulders to film my photo shoots, but often times it's not always pointing the right way. i'm just hopping if a 360 x3 is right near my head my head will not always be in the shot.
New to 360 video here, but doing a lot of the same research as you.
The shoulder mount is pretty common. The biggest question is going to be exactly how you mount it. As a general point, though, a 360 camera will be able to get the exact same framing as a gopro and more. So if you are able to get the framing you want with a gopro, you will be able to get it with the X3 (unless your setup is so specific that the different form factors make it impossible).
There are plenty of examples online like this one: ua-cam.com/video/9tP-KU5IRsQ/v-deo.html
I always put this video on when I am struggling to fall asleep. Works like a charm.
Hey Guru! Tutorial is great! Thank u! Do u know if the adobe media coder works with premier pro 2020 version? I am using 2020 version and it keeps telling me to install encoder when i try the proxy file part part ur video. I have already installed the encoder. So super strange.....
Nice video. Can you let me know if the LUT will work for X3?
Nice video! But can you get the same results by using just the Insta360 app?
I too, would like to know the answer to this question.
Similar results, but no as professional. But I will do a App tutorial in the future 😉
The phone app is not precise. The best compromise between easy and hard is using InstaStudio or GoPro Viewer on a PC/Mac. And if you don't do a lot of 360 reframing you wont forget all the Premiere steps, too.
Got to the point of installing the GoPro FX Reframe plugin. Premier can't find it in search, even after a restart of the program.
Hi, I'm an Insta360 One X2 user. I want to ask, why is the 360/VR rendering of premiere pro 2020 or insta360 studio 2022 blurry on the back side (rear camera), but when previewed before rendering the results look sharp on both front and back sides?
Thank you, I love your videos :) was it you that made a video of a fake drone shot where you removed the person in after effects? if it was you do you have the link please? thank you :)
You make me feeling in love with insta 360 cause i love editing video by my self, and it would be so interesting to add spice to my mountain biking videos , but i am not sure to understand if i can get the results you show ed if ia use filmora as editing program
If you have more than 2 videos to edit into 1 final file, do I create proxy for all of them before continue the reframing process? Thanks
Premiere Pro 22.2 on a Mac won't even load after the GoPro FX Reframe plugin is installed. GoPro needs to catch up. Are there any other plug ins available that are compatible with the latest version of Premiere?
i recommend if you are exporting 4k 30fps footage for youtube set bitrate to vbr 1 60mbps thats youtube recommendation
Does the plugin also work with non insta360 video? Like Samsung gear
Hi, very good tutorial ! what's is the setting of your camera ? standard/vif/log ? HDR ? thank you
Watch Part 1: ua-cam.com/video/sXeTqFLCRnk/v-deo.html
Thanks for producing this as it seems Premiere is the best 360 editing platform. However perhaps it is out of date as It would not work for me with current Feb 2023 Premiere/fx plug-in. When I drop the effect onto the clip it does not respond to remove distortion etc. Effect controls show up but do not work. I only dropped one of the pair of clips into timeline as I understood they would associate. Any suggestions on this ? thank you
Its not working for me either. I have pro 2022 and it doesn't appear to stitch the videos and doesn't allow me to reframe the footage.
Thanks for the video but proxies generation doesn't works properly with INSV files, because of "source settings" does not acting over the MP4 proxy file (will only work over INSV proxy files). So the only solution to this is use de LRV files that the cams generate, and use/attach them as proxies.
SO REMEMBER GUYS!! Don't delete LRV files!! If you are going to work with INSV files directly, they are your besties 😂✌
Thanks for posting this. Using "Attach Proxies" and the LRV files is solving a problem I have with the Insta360 Go 2 camera in "Pro Video" mode. I've been unable to get Adobe Media Encoder to create proxies with 1:1 aspect ratio (it changes it to 16:9). For your problem, this video might help, ua-cam.com/video/KEcVhfg7chQ/v-deo.html
Wow. That's a phenomenal idea. I generate proxies but it takes ages. Using the LRVs is inspired! Is the audio/timings exactly the same? So there is no risk of being out of sync with the LRVs as proxies instead of creating actual proxies from the full size file?
Please put link to GoPro plugin.
Speeding down the frame rate will also make the audio sound slower?
At minute 10, you added GoPro FX Reframe and were able to move the video manually still. It did not do it for me. Followed every step.
Any ideas?
Wow! Looks great! I have the impression the material is recorded in 50/60fps. How is it possible???
Isn't 4k @ 60 camera dependent ? Insta 360 3x 4k @ 60. Go Pro 5.3K @ 60fps
Thanks but the Plugin GoProReframe craches Premiere pro !!!
Now I can make my own EVIL DEAD movie!
Hello, I have a problem after exporting the file, the movie is ready but in the form of 360 it means that the viewer can rotate the movie on UA-cam, not what I marked in PR. I have everything marked as in your video
I search for this answer too. So I understood that it is not possible to do Reframing with output 360 videos. Reframing is only to do out of 360° videos a normal videos.
In Premiere it's skipping/buggy on my 2021 laptop, but in Insta Studio is perfectly fluent.
hello. I am using 360 1 inch,
While using the lens guard... When the light is strong, the shape of the lens guard is occasionally recorded on the screen. Is there a way to remove it?
Why do you export in 4k? The insta360x3 can only do 1080p?
why are my 360 videos such low quality when I export? all the resolutions and frame rates match
gopro reframe lowers my 5.7K to 4K, which makes this unusable. any solutions to this?
Hi .. may be a stupid question .. what is the benefit of reducing framerate from 30 to 24 .. (i am on quite powerfull machine so I dont need even proxy for 5.7k equirec material for fluent editing) ..
You can use 30fps also of course. 24fps it a little bit slower and smoother.
But…can the audience click-and-drag to turn the video to look around or is this result just a video?
