I use the Insta360 cameras extensively, such as the X3. I'm using the Insta360 Studio and though it is good, I do a lot of Multicam shoots that include standard video cameras along with the X3. I sync the footage together and have multiple tracks in the Premiere Pro timeline using the Insta360 Plugin along with the .insv files.
However... Premiere is terribly slow when real time playback on a 4K timeline, so editing is nearly impossible. I'm transitioning to Resolve, but finding the lack of native support for .insv files which include 2 video 180 degree files is limiting. Having to transcode and create a rectilinear 360 file in Insta360 Studio First and then import into Resolve and use the KartaVR plugin there works, but this extra step takes a lot of time as well as extra hard drive space. I know that BlackMagic Designed has opened up their plugin API and have seen some Github projects but I'm reticent to try these as they don't seem to be used much. Is BMD and Insta360 working on native support? I think it would behoove the both as Resolve is fast becoming the go to NLE as Premier Pro's instability and slowness is promoting the transition.
Please guys make a plugin! If anybody else has input about possible native solutions please add to this thread, thank you!
