Insta360 camera video
VideoINSV is Insta360 footage that may appear as raw lens views in ordinary players. Use compatible Studio workflows for stitching/reframing and choose 360 or conventional output. Companion-file requirements vary by camera and mode.

Example: a practical checking sequence
Example: inspect dual-lens views in compatible Studio, then choose 360 or reframed delivery. Preserve required paired footage for the camera. A proxy LRV does not necessarily reconstruct the full-resolution source.

Menu labels and support vary by app, OS and version. Preserve the original before making changes.
Troubleshooting by symptom
- Fisheye or dual view: check unstiched footage or an incompatible 360 viewer.
- Missing files: some cameras require paired recordings; check the model’s instructions.
- Only LRV remains: a proxy is not necessarily the full-resolution source.
- Visible seams: inspect stitching and capture conditions.
- Cannot change direction later: reframed output contains the chosen view.
INSV → 360 or reframed MP4
- Import the complete footage in Studio.
- Choose 360 output or a conventional reframed view.
- Export separately and verify framing, orientation and sound.
Not every INSV recording requires two files; check camera/mode conditions and preserve originals.
360 versus reframed output
360 output lets a suitable viewer change direction; reframing commits to the creator’s chosen view. Choose based on recipient needs.

Paired footage and recovery
Recovery depends on camera and footage conditions; preserve required pairs and never overwrite the sole original with a repair.
- Match timestamps and sequences.
- Distinguish proxies from source footage.
- Check supported recovery on copies.
