0:00 so what is insta 360 plus and is it worth the subscription in this video we're going to discuss that and I'm going to talk you through the benefits of having that subscription especially if you've got something like the insta 360 X4 or X3 so the first thing you get is auto backup essentially when you plug your camera in on a night it will connect to your Wi-Fi and start downloading the footage from your camera to the cloud automatically without having to do anything you can then dive into the settings on the camera the sync settings and then make sure that you've got everything set up as regards to how you want that to happen whether you want the footage to download from the start to the front and whether or not you want the camera to delete the footage off the SD card once it's finished uploading to the cloud the benefit of this is that it
0:46 stops you having too many files dur your camera frees up the SD card space uh basically charges the phone while you're overnight gets all your footage up to the cloud so it's there safe and saved and backed up and then your camera is ready pick up the next day and use fresh as if you've never touched it before so that is uh one thing that is very impressive the fact that it's auto backup you can actually swipe down from the top of the screen then swipe left and go to the sync settings and manually sync to the cloud as well you don't have to do the auto backup but I would have that turned on because then you don't really have to think about it every time you plug it into charge it will automatically back up to the cloud depending on your use case scenario having a cloud-based story system for all your footage is going to potentially
1:32 save you a lot of money I mean if you're buying SD cards to save stuff if you're saving your footage on an external hard drive for instance afterwards then that costs money especially if you want to save it on your iPhone we all know how much Apple charge for their extra storage on their Apple devices so it's going to save your storage space and it's going to back up your files and keep them safe you're never going to lose them either so yeah for me that is one of the major benefits of having a cloud-based storage system the second benefit of insta 360 plus is 360 seamless sharing of Clips you don't have to download the footage edit the footage even to share it with somebody now you can go into the application you can click share via link and send that cloud footage directly to anybody you want to
2:19 you can even share it directly to social media or YouTube or whatever without having to do any sort of postprocessing the benefit of this is that it's effortless it's so easy to share I don't know for instance you're out skiing with friends for a day and you want to share your footage with them you can just send them a link via the cloud and they can look at it on their phone without having to download the footage and even scroll around on the screen to have a look and we'll talk about that in the next section um but yeah it's I mean it's so so easy to do and what I'm going to do is if you're interested to see what those links look like I'm going to be sharing some of my footage that I recorded in Iceland with the insta 360x 4 on the snowmobile on Instagram so I'll leave a link to my Instagram down below to go and check out some of the instantly shared links from my cloud
3:04 storage that I've been using recently so very easy to use very seamless and one tap share is yeah that's that's impressive so the next benefit is 360 cloud-based playback and that's something GoPro don't offer so if you're on the cloud and you log in to look at some of your footage with GoPro you can't play back the footage with Ina 360 plus you can play back the footage in high definition and look around in 360 and it's fully immersive when you're checking it out then obviously those clips are the same when you've shared them with people as well so yeah that's another big plus when it comes to sharing and saving it on the cloud the biggest Pro and benefit probably of all
3:50 apart from being able to save and back up your footage to keep it safe is cloudbased editing now we can log in to our iPhone or we can log into the desktop studio and edit cloud-based footage wherever you are in the world so as long as you've backed up your footage and it's in the cloud you can then go into those softwares to edit the footage share it save it no matter what you want to do with it it's there and you can do it all in the cloud let me show you in the application how you access your Cloud footage give you an example of you know the editing process and sharing it on here and sharing it with other people as well and getting that share link uh basically it's just pretty much the same as you would use the application in the first place you just go to your album
4:37 and then up here at top left you've got where you see all you press all and then you press cloud and this is where all of your Cloud footage is and you can see I've saved all of my well I've got 26 files on there from when I've been using it abroad in Iceland on a recent trip and then just for a recent video as well um for instance if I wanted to share this 38 second clip of the SN bill I could simply just hold down on it and then click link sharing and then you've got the option to save the video as it is or share 360 video you can share it via uh messenger messages WhatsApp or simply just copy the link for that video and share it to somebody via a link um and then they can click that link get into it view it immersively in 360 using
5:25 the cloud as well and not using any processing power or anything it's just as simple as that if I wanted to just edit this little clip of us walking uh like so I can just click on it and this is let me turn the volume down for you this is all in Cloud so this is cloud editing as well you've got all the same options as you have within the app for normal editing that you've downloaded onto your device youve got AI quick and pro we could just do a quick edit where we use the gyroscope moving it around left and right right like that it's so easy and if I just press record and then move around and try and keep me in the frame if you want to see what I'm looking at I can move around like that and then just show everybody what we're looking at the waterfall in the
6:12 background so easy and then just press stop and then I've edited that bit of footage on cloud and I can share it then within the cloud as well press the top right quick export normal export you've got all the same options as you would do if you exporting it normally using uh the downloaded footage so Cloud editing on the application seamless simple easy and it's going to make my workflow definitely a lot quicker same thing on the desktop Studio we're in the desktop studio now and usually you'd have to sort of drag your files open them wa for them to import and then start editing your stuff if you have automatically backed up your files by plugging in the into 360 X4 overnight when you go onto your um desktop studio if you press this little Cloud button up here all your
6:59 footage will be there already no need to put SD cards in no need to uh download footage no need to just import it it's all going to be here that we've um imported already so if I press on that one double click on it and this is cloudbased footage um let me just turn the volume down again for you because it's a little bit annoying so this is a little walk I went on the other day filming some footage with the 3M selfie stick and I can simply do the same thing as I would do if I'd imported this directly to my computer I can right click like that to add a um key frame move it about and press play and it's playing along I can add another key frame drag it around like so and then press play so that when I when I play
7:44 that back the key frames added of me moving the camera around so easy and again you can share it via the link up here directly to somebody like you can do in the app or you can export it to your computer to save it so so easy and the fact that it's just there I haven't got to put my SD card in and then import the footage it's saved on the cloud automatically I can edit it via the computer and then save it on the cloud again so it's it's a game I don't want to use the word gamechanging but it's going to make everything a little bit more seamless when it comes to editing 360 footage it's another advantage of these 360 cameras so as far as the subscription plans go it starts at 200 GB of backed up storage from as little
8:29 as $1. 199 a month uh that's a monthly subscription if you want to pay the annual subscription for the basic 200 GB it's 19.99 so the price is good there's a stage for everybody if you're just using it minimally then you can just do the $199 and have that 200 GB if you're using these cameras every single day like I am then you can go all the way to the 2 terab of $9.99 a month or $ 99.99 for the year and then there is a middle section where it's 1 TB of storage for $6.99 a month or $69.99 for the annual subscription so I think it's decently priced depending on your use case scenario I think it has its benefits as well it's definitely something I'm going to be using because I do use these cameras every single day
9:15 having the auto backup is exceptional I generally come back on a night and just plug it in and then it's going to auto back up now which is really handy you got seamless sharing you got seamless 360 online playback for you or whoever you're sending it to and then the cloud-based editing no matter where you are is going to come in very handy as well so the benefits far out away the cost in my opinion so if you do want to subscribe there will be a link in the description down below this is not a sponsored video uh but I do use insta 360 products every day and I have worked with them in the past these are just my thoughts on whether or not I think it would benefit you or it would benefit me personally for me it definitely would and it's well worth the subscription okay that's it for this one though I hope it helped let me know if you got any more questions about the insta 360
