Insta360 Studio review

Insta360 Studio ranks first because most people asking how to edit 360 video own an Insta360 camera, and Studio is the editor the company builds for those files. Insta360 describes it as a desktop 360 video editor with reframing tools for creating both flat videos and immersive 360/VR content. You add keyframes to aim the virtual camera and Studio animates between them, and its manual also covers Deep Track, Auto Frame, FOV adjustment, LUTs and Dolby Vision. The recent v6.0.7 and v6.0.8 updates added stickers, text tracks, one-click effects and full-resolution export of 360 snapshots, which also makes it a quick way to pull still 360 photos from video. Insta360 offers it as a direct download with no price on the page, so we left the price check pending. The limits are clear: it is designed for Insta360's own cameras, and Insta360 recommends 16GB of RAM plus a GTX 1660 or an Apple M1 chip or newer.
