Insta360

What the Insta360 app is for

Insta360 is the phone side of Insta360 cameras and handheld gimbals. It connects to the camera, pulls in footage, and gives you a set of editing tools on the phone itself. The listing pitches it at creators, athletes and people who film outdoor activity.

You can let automatic tools produce an edit, or work through the footage yourself with manual controls. Most of the editing features below sit on one of those two paths.

AI editing with templates and auto reframing

AI Edit handles reframing for you. It picks the framing for action footage and, according to the listing, the subject detection has been improved so it follows the subject more reliably.

Shot Lab holds more than 25 AI-powered templates. The listing names Nose Mode, Sky Swap, AI Warp and Clone Trail among them. You choose a template and it builds a short clip from your footage in a few taps.

Deep Track keeps a person, an animal or a moving object centered in the frame. You set the subject with a single tap.

Manual 360 reframing and hyperlapse speed

For 360 footage, the reframing tools let you choose the view. You add keyframes along the clip and change the perspective between them, so the shot can move across the scene over time.

The hyperlapse tool speeds up a clip into a stabilized timelapse. You can adjust the speed at any point, which the listing describes as control over both time and perspective.

Managing and sharing clips on the phone

The album page shows each file with a thumbnail. The listing says the app picks the thumbnail from the best angle, which makes it easier to tell files apart without opening them.

Download-free editing lets you edit clips and post them to social media without copying them to the phone first. The listing presents this as a way to save storage space.

For live streaming through WeChat, the listing says the app routes certain requests over the cellular network while the phone is on the camera's Wi-Fi, so you do not have to switch connections back and forth.

Community, desktop software and support

Inside the app there is a community feed for video ideas, tutorials and content from other creators, and you can share your own work and follow creators there.

The listing points to the Studio desktop software and the latest camera firmware on the Insta360 website. Feedback goes through the "Insta360 Official" account in the app's private message system, and customer service is reached by email at service@insta360.com.
