| Companion files | 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. | OSV panoramic originals and flat MP4 recordings are distinct workflows; confirm sidecar requirements in the support manual. |
| Documented workflow | 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. | DJI support documents transfer with DJI Mimo and desktop editing with DJI Studio, Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. |
