@@BoomerStories When you open your starlapse on the Insta360 app, there is a check box for star trails. If you don't want trails just be sure it is not checked.
Thanks for the fantastic video!!! It‘s grat! One question: how can I create a starlapse video without startrail? Not short, not middle, not long… without trail??? Thanks for your response! Kind regards Mareike
@@my360nme What exactly is the issue you are facing? Maybe I can help you figure it out. I hope you get this fixed so you can try out the starlapse! Its such a cool feature!
@@lincolas5310 so I got signed on to my camera to show you know I was going to see exactly what the problem was and tell you. Before it was just something it wouldn't load the pictures into the stories, so today it just doesn't want to connect to my Bluetooth and it says I don't have enough RAM that's new it's not said that before I've actually made it further today than I have before. So I'll mess with it some more and I'll I'll get back to you with what exactly the problem is anyways it's just always something with me in these plugins and new things. It's just all new to me I just don't have a clue with anything is I'm starting to figure it out but it's slow going lol I appreciate your help so much you have no idea and if I didn't have to leave I'd stay here and mess with my camera but I got to sit down for a while it's annoying me, so I'll probably get back to you tomorrow.. also I'm new to CZcams as you can tell ☺️ but I've been studying a lot and I can tell by tube buddy that you do not have very good SEO on your videos. The one that did really good had good SEO and it looks like that was purely an accident on your part. It has to do with your title your tags and your description. The better those are the algorithm will share it out to more people faster and honestly I think your channel could blow up with the proper SEO. if you have any questions about that you can ask me, like I said I'm not a pro but I can direct you to good channels that I'm learning from.
@@my360nme I have never had that issue with the ram message on my own camera. Sorry I can't be any more help. Regarding my own CZcams channel, I have been struggling lately to gain more views and subscribers. I should look into the CZcams algorithm more. A lot of my tutorial videos have been doing pretty well so I am planning on making more of those in the future but I think my main issue is my thumbnails/titles. Any tips you have would be appreciated!
I see you have the hashtags in your discription deerr I missed that LOL ok put those in your tag box to start and see what happens ... and add a hashtagtag something stitchline 360 turorial something along those lines ...
This is awesome so well made. I'm going to try to take one on the equator in a few days. Though sadly I think it'll be a 3/4 moon. In any case it'll be fun to show the flat earthers.
Many thanks for your video. Do you need to change the X2 to manual for ISO, exposure etc or just on switch to the star mode would do the setting automatically?
Excellent video, the recording time according to what I read on the 360 web is from 4 to 6 hours, the recommended time, should the camera be left for that long?
I have been trying to find a way to make starlapse a on a computer but have had no luck. I will continue looking into it and if I find a way, I will let you know.
Sadly no. I have been trying to figure out a way to create the starlapse without using the phone app but have been unsuccessful. If I find a way I will let you know though!
Its a lot more complicated. You can export each frame as a 360 still from Insta360 Studio and then use an editing software to create a 360 degree timelapse from all the still images. Then you can export the video from your editing software (still a 360 degree video) and import it back into Insta360 Studio to reframe. Hopefully Insta360 can optimize this in the future!
Im getting ready to go on a long trip where i'll be away from my home computer. How much data does an overnight starlaps take up? Im worried about running out of data storage.
You should be fine. They actually take up surprisingly little storage. I am actually on a trip right now so I can’t check how big my starlapse files are but I recommend that you film one. They are so worth it!
The settings are exactly the same but the editing is slightly different. When you are putting the starlapse together in the Insta360 app, there is a switch to turn on star trails. If this is turned on, the app will automatically make the trails. Just out of the camera though, there are no star trails.
I’m not quite sure what you are asking. I shoot in the 360 mode but reframe it in post. I usually set the field of view to wide and set keyframes to make the foreground move. I also set the aspect ratio to 16 by 9. I hope this helps! If you are still confused, just ask!
@@lincolas5310 This camera is new to me so I am shaky with terms. I suppose a simpler question is what do you set the camera settings at and what do you set in post. On my camera screen it looksike i have 3 choices for field of view... 360, 150 and what looks like 16 x 9.
No worries! For camera settings, I always shoot at 5.7k resolution and 30 fps. This is the highest quality you can get with your camera. After some testing, I have figured out what the field of view options mean. The one that looks like 16 x 9 only works with photos and is actually the panorama button. The 150 degree view is like a standard action camera. It basically only shoots with one of the lenses. This means that you cannot use reframing in post production. The final one is is the 360 degree mode. I always use this whenever I go out to shoot and I recommend that you do to. Using the 360 mode allows you to reframe your footage in any direction in post production and is super cool. Hope this helps!
@@lincolas5310 perfect, thank you! That was kind of what I was thinking. Use the full view and edit out what i didn't want. The main reason I was interested in the more narrow depth of field is we are supposed to have some extraordinary nothern lights shows this weekend. However depending on where i setup i could be in conflict with the moon for the exposure. I would only need the front 180 degrees and the moon would be behind me, but could sill influence the entire exposure. I am wondering if I can either block the rear lens or use some sort of ND material to lessen the impact would work... thjngs to experiment with. Thanks for your help. I now have some ideas to keep me out of trouble for a bit. 🙂
How did you get those longer trails? I used 20s exposure and 3s rest. After 510 photos (about 3.5 hrs), there are trails but the "tails" are not very long.
I use the starlapse mode on the camera. I think the issue for you is your settings. I'm not sure what the exposure is set to on the Insta360 starlapse setting but I do know that the interval is 1 photo per minute. When the Insta360 app puts the starlapse video together, it overlays a fixed amount of photos. For simplicity, lets say 10 (I don't actually know, this is just an example.) Since you only set the interval to 3 seconds, the program is only overlaying 30 seconds of footage (3 seconds x 10 photos). This means that the star trails only show 30 seconds of star movement resulting in very short star trails. Using a 1 minute interval however, takes the overlay time up to 10 minutes (1 minute x 10 photos). This means that the star trails reflect 10 minutes of star movement resulting in longer star trails. For good results and ease of use, I recommend just using the starlapse video mode. If you are still confused, just let me know! I am happy to help!
@@lincolas5310 Thanks for the reply. I was taking the starlapse in the city, so auto mode is no go because it will only take a 3s exposure for each shoot. However you did give me some ideas to try. If you don't mind, could you check if your starlapses taken from the city have much shorter tails?
Oh I get it now. I actually haven’t taken any starlapse videos in a city except for the one shown in the video. I can barely even see the stars in that one so I can’t check the length of the star trails (sorry ☹️). I also haven’t experimented with manual settings but I will have to try that out. For your city starlapse, I think you should set the interval to a minute and the exposure to whatever you think is best. Let me know how your next one turns out!
Yes starlapse mode should be correct. Did you connect your camera to a power bank? Did you make sure that the power bank is at full power before shooting your starlapse? It could have run out of battery and died in the middle of the night. Regarding the overexposed image, did you set up your starlapse too close to any light source? Was the moon too big? These are all some possible factors as to why your starlapse didn’t work. Hope this helps!
@@lincolas5310 yes, I connected to an external power bank. Suppose I only need to choose the Starlapse mode and it should do the setting automatically. Definitely the surrounding is not too dark since I am in Hong Kong. But quite surprised that the camera does not adjust the exposure.
@@andrewlee3625 yes you are right, the camera does not adjust the exposure. The starlapse mode is a fixed preset and does not change. I would imagine that there is a lot of light pollution in Hong Kong too. This is probably your biggest issue.
I just checked my power bank and it is a 15000 mAh battery. This will always last the whole night (with a full charge) and will often have a decent amount of charge left in it after the starlapse is done.
Go back to 0:27 and follow the instructions carefully. There is a starlapse mode on all ONE X2 cameras! If it is still not there, you might need to upgrade your cameras firmware. Its a long shot but it might work!
You didnt even mention anything about settings or editing. everything else is kinda obvious. I just have a shit ton of photos. now what? I even exported them now I have twice as many photos.
I mentioned how to edit the starlapse at timestamp 1:17. The insta360 app automatically puts the starlapse together if you click the starlapse effect on the shot lab page. When doing this, make sure your camera has the micro SD card with the starlapse photos inserted into your camera. For the settings, simply use the starlapse setting. I show you how to find this setting at timestamp 0:27. Basically, the starlapse mode is a pre programmed interval photo setting. It sets the exposure perfect for capturing stars and takes a photo every minute. Hope this clarifies everything.
Thanks for this tutorial. The starlapses without trails are the best for me because you can see the sky as is should be.
Yep I agree! The star trails are also cool though. They are great for social media posts!

Is there a difference between the X2 and X3 for doing this? I have a X3
