How to Export INSTA360 Videos for Instagram Using INSTA360 Studio

Starting a New Project in INSTA360 Studio

• 💡 Begin by opening the INSTA360 Studio PC application to start a new project.
• 🎯 For Instagram, select either the 9x16 ratio for a standard vertical video or the 2x1 ratio for a panoramic video.
• 📌 Name your project (e.g., "flat") and confirm the settings, keeping the frame rate at performance defaults.

Preparing Your Video Content

• ➕ Add your desired video to the timeline and select the specific segment you wish to export.
• 🎬 Choose an appropriate angle for your video.
• 🚀 FlowState stabilization is highly recommended for better video quality.
• ✨ Optionally, enable Direction Lock to keep the video orientation consistent.
• 🎨 Utilizing the Color Plus function is suggested to enhance color vibrancy and overall video appearance.

Exporting Your Video for Instagram

• 📤 Click the export button and select your desired resolution: Full HD, 2K, or 4K.
• 📊 Set the bitrate; for Instagram, a recommended range is 100-200 Mbps, with 150 Mbps being a good choice.
• 💻 Choose the H264 encoding format as it is more universally supported than H265, which offers better compression but may have compatibility issues.
• 🧼 You can select "Remove Grain" for a smoother video.
• ⏳ Click export and wait for the process to complete, as it may take some time.
• 🔍 Review the exported video to ensure it meets your expectations for both flat and panoramic formats.
