I was editing reframed video in DaVinci resolve. Just make sure the bitrate matches otherwise you'll lose quality.

[RikkyTang]

Great video Ben, because I do see people exporting straight from the mobile app to YouTube and then be confused about the low image quality of their video in comparisons to others they've seen, that were most likely edited on desktop.
One other thing that also surprises and disappoints many folks is that you cannot take a semi-completed project from the Insta360 mobile app to the desktop Studio app or vice versa - the two applications are totally separate and projects cannot be transferred.

I’ve mostly been using the mobile app to edit my Insta360 footage, but recently I did use the desktop app. This is great information, I never know the video quality was better on the desktop app. Thanks for sharing Ben.

Awesome tips bro, Greetings from Malaysia

[joeykahng]

Yup! I’ve been messing around with EXPORT! I’ll be bumping the bitrate to 200. I’ve been doing 100 right now. This was spot on! 🤙🏼

Awesome video and tips as always! Thanks. I have never edited 360 on my phone, but I wish Insta360 would bring all the effects to the PC app.

Love seeing Aussie content, I'm a Sydneysider too, infact I'm also a Commercial Skipper on the Harbour so you were in my office haha. Love your work Ben, I need to upgrade my 360 for my Moto content

[Snowhead]

Thanks. So to get the best quality out of the desktop, what resolution would I need to export it at ??

[gregboyce]

Ben you've been a wonderful resource for, oh, I dunno three years when I found you. Thanks for all your work and sharing it!

[JohnMerryman]

Great video! I wasn't very happy with the exports on my IPhone and will move to using the desktop for most of my work.

[shawnstoik]

wow great tip!! would love to see a hands on editing with insta 360 desktop for quick editing tricks

[add]

Great. Very important and to the point. It's must to watch before you start editing videos. I didn't find such consolidated information on any other channel.

[DayAdventures]

Wow, I can’t believe I’ve been doing it the wrong way for years. Thanks for this information.

[joelarnol]

Bonjour, merci pour cette vidéo . Vivement le 23 pour la suite bon Week-end

Hello, thank you for this video. Can't wait for the 23rd for the rest, have a good weekend

[MishMashMoto]

Thanks Ben! You’ve been a big help to us in deciding on what equipment to purchase and how to make better quality content in the future. 👍🏼✌🏼

[foneyfernandes]

That was really helpful. thank you so much

Awesome video. I've found doing reframed exports on my mobile app at 1080p30 125M bits is good enough for me...I then import the reframed clip into another video editor app VN Video to add the reframed clip with other clips from my Samsung S21U or DJI M3 and export that project as 4k60 at 100 Mbit and upload it to my YT channel and it all looks super good.... although I don't really zoom into the footage as that causes a loss of quality

[mustang]

I've been exporting on pc 4k @125mb & .h264. So I should change this to 200mb and .h265?

[injectionAI]

Very nice. We really need 8k though a well!

[mariano_at]

Really nice video, Ben! Do you know by any chance if you loose video quality when you edit and export in Insta 360 app (cellphone) vs Insta360 studio?
