| Companion files | OSV panoramic originals and flat MP4 recordings are distinct workflows; confirm sidecar requirements in the support manual. | 360 video is recorded as INSV and 360 photos as INSP; DNG is also supported for photos. Preserve the original capture files until the intended export is complete and do not substitute the flat single-lens MP4 workflow for a 360 export. |
| Documented workflow | DJI's spec page documents export via DJI Mimo app or DJI Studio, including a choice of stabilization mode (RockSteady 3.0 or HorizonSteady) applied at export time for Panoramic Video. | Transfer INSV originals with the Insta360 app or Studio. Reframe or export the 360 capture to the intended equirectangular delivery file before upload; InstaFrame 2.0 can also produce a flat 4K video directly in camera, which is a different delivery workflow. |
