Hi this is Rob. We are going to do a timelapse video on the
Insta 360 One x 360 degree action camera. The video you see now was recorded on the
One X. We will edit the video with the Insta 360
One X app on a smartphone. This panning effect is done on the One X app. There are two ways to setup a timelapse on
the One X. The first is to connect the One X via WiFi
Bluetooth and use the app to choose the settings for the timelapse recording. The second method is to setup the timelapse
directly on the One X camera. First method set up a timelapse in the app. After connecting the One X with the smartphone
via WiFi. Go to the One X app. In the app tap on this camera icon here. This page opens up. Tap on the video camera icon here. Then tap on this adjustments icon here. Now we want to tap on this video camera icon
here so we can change to timelapse mode. Now we have three choices, video, bullet time
and timelapse. Tap on the timelapse icon here. Now we can choose the settings we want for
our timelapse. Those setting are located along here. The first one is interval. Tap on the interval icon here. We can choose a time interval when a frame
is recorded for the timelapse video. From 1 second interval to 120 second intervals. 1 second interval means that the camera will
take a image every second. 120 second interval means that the camera
will take a image every 120 seconds, which is 2 minutes. I usually use one second intervals for my
timelapses. The next icon here is auto. Tap on it. Then we are given the choose of auto or manual. We will first look at auto. Even though you you are in auto mode, you
can still choose some adjustments in auto. This one is ISO. It gives you a choice of iso ranges. You see the less than sign. Less than 400, less than 800 and less than
1600. You choose one of the settings and the camera
will keep the iso less than that setting. You have more flexibility in the manual mode,
and we will look at soon. Next is exposure compensation. A slider to adjust for more or less exposure. The next icon is Fast or Auto. You may not see this icon on your One X. This icon came with the new camera firmware
update. Firmware 1 point 15 point 17. If you do not see this icon, then you need
a camera firmware update. I made a video on how to update the firmware
on the One X, and I will leave a link in the description below. I am going to choose auto and then choose
fast. Then you get this pop up message. This was a firmware update to reduce motion
blur in the video. If you choose fast, it will reduce motion
blur in the video, but it will also decrease the video quality when shooting indoors or
in low light situations. The white balance icon here. You have a choice of different white balance
situations. You can turn log on or off. Log is also known as flat footage. Recording in log allows you to retain more
shadow detail and tonal range in the video so that you can color grade the video later
in post processing. This is an advance feature in video editing. If the Log is in yellow, then Log is on. Tap on it to turn Log white, which is off. Ok, I will tap on this auto icon here and
go into the manual settings. Once in manual, along the bottom here are
all the manual settings. The differences in manual, is that you can
choose the shutter speed here. There is no Fast/Auto for motion blur and
there is no exposure compensation. Because you control the exposure with the
shutter speed and the ISO. You may notice there is no aperture adjustment. That is because the lens on the One X is a
fix aperture lens. Meaning the lens only has one setting. The aperture on the One X is a F/2.0 lens. I will tap on the ISO setting. You have a choice of ISO 100, 200, 400, 800,
1600 or 3200. I will tap on the shutter speed icon here. You have a wide variety of shutter speeds
from 1/30th of a second to 1/8000 of a second. Auto white balance icon here. You have different white balance situations. The Log icon here. I explained the Log settings before. Tap on it and make it yellow to turn Log on. If the icon is white, then Log is off. The other method for setting up a timelapse
is to set the timelapse settings in the One X camera directly. On the One X go to the Settings icon. I am pressing the lower smaller button to
go to the settings mode. This is the video mode. This is the settings mode. Press the larger upper button to go into settings. This is the photo settings. Press the big button. This is the video settings. This is what we want. Press the lower smaller button to go down
to Standard. Now press the big button to switch from standard
to bullet time to timelapse. We are now in the timelapse settings. Press the smaller lower button to go to interval. Press the big button to change the interval
time. We had 1 second, this is 2 seconds. 5 seconds. 10 seconds. 30 seconds. 60 seconds. And 120 seconds. Back to 1 second. I usually use a 1 second interval. Press the smaller lower button to go down
to ISO. We have ISO auto. ISO less than 400. ISO less than 800. ISO less than 1600. And back to ISO Auto. Go down to Shutter. This is that firmware update. Shutter Auto or Shutter Fast to reduce motion
blur in the video. Go down to Log. You have Log on or log off. And those are all the settings when you set
the timelapse directly on the One X. Go down to Done and press the big button to
exit. To start the time lapse, go to the video camera
mode by pressing the smaller lower button. Right here. It will quickly flash time lapse to let you
know that the video camera is set to timelapse. Here you see, I have a full battery, wifi
is turned off to conserve battery. 54 min of video recording time available. It is going to record the timelapse at 5.7
K, you can’t change this for timelapses. Timelapses will always record at 5.7K unless
they do a firmware update in the future. The video will be P30, better know as 30P.
30 frames per second, P for progressive. Shooting at 1 second intervals. This is a good time to talk about how long
to shoot. Say I want a 20 second video. The video will be 30 frames per second. One second of video time will take 30 seconds
of recording time. So, if I want a 20 second timelapse video,
take 20 second video times 30 frames per second equals 600 seconds of recording time. 600 seconds is 10 minutes of recording time. So, recording at a 1 second interval, 10 minutes
of recording will give us a 20 second time lapse. 15 minutes of recording will give us a 30
second timelapse. 20 minutes of recording will give us a 40
second timelapse. To start recording. If you are using the app, press the record
button on the app. If you are just using the One X, press the
big button to start recording. The light below flashes to blue every time
it takes a shot. Up top here you have a timer that lets you
know how much recording time has lapsed. However, it is difficult to see this led outside
in bright daylight. Which is the exact time of day you want to
record a timelapse on this camera. To stop recording the timelapse press the
big upper button. You probably going to want to shoot a timelapse
on a tripod. So this is what I used to record this timelapse. It is the Insta360 Selfi stick on top of a
mini tripod. The mini tripod is called the Pedco Ultra
Pod II. I will put a link in the description below. I also have a Youtube video on this mini tripod. There is a newer model called the Pedco UltraPod
Grip. I will put a link below. They are both less than $25. The combination of this Ultrapod and the selfie
stick is very lightweight. Editing the video. I use the One X App to edit the timelapse. I like to use the cable to connect the One
X to my smart device. When you are connected to the One X with the
app, tap on the Album icon here. Then on top, tap on camera to see the 360
degree photos and videos on the One X. I have no 360 photos, tap on video camera icon here. It may take a few seconds to load the video
files. Right here, this clock symbol is a timelapse
video. I am going to tap on it. There I am, on the timelapse, but I am not
the subject of this time lapse. I will drag the video around. You can trim the video here, or wait until
you download the video to the smartphone. I like to wait and do all the edits after
I transfer the video to the smart device. So lets download the video to the smartphone. Tab on this down arrow here to download the
video to the smart device. For this 26 second video it took 30 seconds
to download. First thing is to change the aspect ratio
for the video by tapping here. There are 3 different aspect ratios, 9:16
which is vertical, 1:1 for instagram, and 16:9 for YouTube. I want 16:9. Lets take a look at this icon here in the
upper right. There are two things of interest on this page. The first is the logo. The default is that this logo is turned on. Right now it is off. If it is yellow, then it is on. This logo setting has been making me angry. I think there is a bug concerning this logo
feature in the app. When you first download the video to the app
and go in here to turn off the logo, and then process the video after all the edits, it
still puts a logo on the video. I found that you need to turn this logo off
and then re download the video again to the app, in order for this logo off feature to
work. If you have a different experience, let me
know in the comments. Maybe in a future App update they will fix
this issue. The other thing is this restore video feature. After you make edits to your video in the
app and you don’t like the editing that you did. Tap on this restore video and it will take
out all your edits and restore the video back before you made any edits. It will not go back to your last edits. It will take out all edits and then you will
start new again. Tap on this x to exit out of this page. This icon here is where you will do all your
edits on the video. Tap on it. You have filters, adjust the speed, trim the
video, and add royalty free music. The first thing I like to do is trim the video. The trim tool on this App took me awhile to
figure it out. And I may not have completely figured it out. The trim tool on this app works in opposite
way of other trim tools on other video editing apps and software. To trim a video on this app. Drag the film strip to where you want the
beginning of the video to start, then tap on this opposite trim tool here. Then it takes you to the end of the video,
now drag the film strip to where you want the video to stop. Then tap on the opposite trim tool here. Then it takes me to the beginning where I
want the video to start. This is the part that has been trimmed. But you can restore your trims if you want. The next thing you want to do is set some
pivot points on the video. Pivot points will guide the panning of the
video. This is what will make doing timelapses unique
on the One X. I am starting at the beginning of my video where the trim starts. Drag the video for a starting point. Then with your finger press and hold at the
center of the video. This appears. You have a choice of placing a pivot point
or a smart track. If you place a smart track on a moving object
or person, then the video will track that object or person. I am not going to use any smart tracks on
this video. I want to place a pivot point, so I will tap
pivot point. That yellow dot is the pivot point. This is where the video will start, now I
want to pan this timelapse to the right. I am going to drag the film strip below about
halfway through the time, at about the 13 second mark and then drag the video to the
right. Press and hold in the middle of the video. And place another pivot point here. I will drag the filmstrip below toward the
end. And drag the video above in the opposite direction. And place another pivot point in the center
of the video. Ok, lets do a quick review of the video. Drag the film strip to the beginning. Press play. Those pivot points are making our timelapse
pan to the right and then pan to the left. It looks a little jerky here, but it will
play smooth when you process the video. Lets go back up here and look at the other
editing features. I am tapping here. Filters. These are the filters. The speed. You can slow down the video or increase the
speed of the video. I’ll go back. The music. This is royalty free music that the app has. Currently, there are six different songs to
choose from. This is what they sound like. I am going to choose none and go back. I’ll tap this checkmark here. I am back at my timelapse. This button here is where you can upload your
finished timelapse. When you tap on one of these, the app will
process the video and upload it. These are the choices that I have. It says here, Social Apps you haven’t installed
are not displayed. One app that I have on my phone is Dropbox. Dropbox is not a social app, but I wish that
dropbox was a choice to upload to. And currently there is no way to add dropbox
to this list. Maybe in a future update to the app. So, what I use is Local here, which downloads
to your smart device. Then I connect my phone to my desktop to place
the video on my desktop for any post processing. I will choose local here. Then this window appears. You can export the video as a fix frame video,
which we are going to do. Or as a 360 degree video. Currently Fix Frame is highlighted. Then tap on export in the upper right. It is exporting. I will speed this part of the video up. It took about 3 minutes to process and upload
this 23 second video to my phone. And this was a fixed frame video. A 360 degree video may take longer. OK, that is it. If you have not bought the One X yet, I will
leave a 2 links below. One is where you can order directly from the
company and they will also send you a free selfie stick and I will get a small commision
from the company. The other link is for Amazon. You will get your order faster from Amazon
but will not get a free selfie stick. Look for my other videos on the Insta360 One
X on Youtube. If you like this video please give it a thumbs
up and please subscribe to this channel.
