Final Cut Pro and 360

I have been doing 360 videos for my YouTube Vlog and music.

It has been quite a learning process. I did not want to spend a lot of money on 360 cameras, so I first settled for the Insta360 Nano. This camera can work standalone, be on power with a USB cable and SD card could be exchanged. The resolution was ok but not so great.

Then came the Insta360 One. A camera with better resolution, 4k, better designed for standalone operations. Its cover can be used as a makeshift tripod. Another advantage, the video can be recorded in LOG or raw format. It means the video is not suitable for direct upload (anyhow, who has the bandwidth in the field?), the light exposure needs to be corrected in post production. However, it gives a better range in what light it records, there are less pixels lost due to over or under exposure.
