When the Insta360 ONE X came out last year, it was a slick unit with a lot of functionality for a consumer 360-degree camera, but most of it was tied to a phone app. That’s set to change with the launch of official desktop software for the camera.
Insta360 Studio for ONE X brings much of the capabilities that were possible in the phone app to your desktop. While the software itself has been in beta since the camera’s launch, the beta version didn’t have the capability to control the camera through keyframes or export video in more than the most basic ways. To get that kind of advanced functionality, users had to use the app to make video tiny planets or punch out full HD from 360 footage, but the phone couldn’t handle exporting 5.7K, which required slow beta software on the desktop. With the new version, in addition to new features, running the camera’s high-res 5.7K footage is much smoother in the final version of the app compared to the beta version.
In a nice surprise, in addition to supporting the proprietary files from the Insta360 ONE X, the camera now also includes support for stitched MP4 files, whether from the Insta360 ONE X or other cameras, though you lose the support to make fancy edits or present the video in alternate formats, such as a tiny planet.
