Insta360 users have a reason to celebrate. The company that’s been making 360° capture accessible to everyone has released a major update for their free desktop editing software, Insta360 Studio. This update offers a new design and layout, plus serious tools to streamline 360° editing, including combining multiple clips, multitasking, and adding music, text, and transitions. Creators can now produce polished 360° content directly from their desktops. Let’s take a look at the details!
Insta360 is a manufacturer of 360° cameras, providing options for content creators that include action cameras like the Insta360 Ace Series, the Go 3, or the X3, and more. These cameras will all benefit from this update, which brings some pretty major features to their desktop editing capabilities, including:
- Combining multiple 360° files in a single timeline,
- Working on multiple edits simultaneously,
- Adding background music, text, and transitions,
- Efficiency improvements for a faster workflow, including easy Export.
Combine clips and edit simultaneously
A new workflow is no longer needed when combining clips into a single edit. You can cut and merge them any way you like. To do this, start a new Project, add your clips to the timeline, and adjust the order and trim as you like. In addition, handling multiple edits is no longer an issue as you can switch between projects with a single click.
More creative possibilities with the Insta360 Studio update
You can now add music, text, and transitions to your timeline.
- Music: Import your own .mp3 files, or choose one of the songs from the free music library.
- Text: Add fully customizable text animation and effects.
- Transitions: Use pre-loaded transitions like camera movement, Tiny Planet, and more.
Editing efficiency for the Insta360 Studio improved
Other additions to help speed up the workflow include:
- Right-click to add keyframes – adding and adjusting a keyframe is now done with just one click.
- Synced editing – import and edit files on the new Media page and changes will appear in both ongoing projects and the Temporary Media folder.
- Speed Editor – customize the speed of clips on your timeline – you can also adjust the speed of multiple clips simultaneously.
- Access frequently used media – add any video, photos (a Logo, for example), or music files that you often use to the new General Media folder so they are always available.
Price and availability
The free update is available for Windows and macOS users and is compatible with all Insta360 consumer action cameras, including Insta360 Ace Pro and Ace, X3, ONE X2, RS, GO 3, GO 2, and more. You can download the update now from the Insta360 website.
