360° video creators often need a smooth workflow to get their content from Insta360 Studio to DeoVR in the best quality possible. This guide walks you through the entire process - from importing and editing your videos in Insta360 Studio to exporting and uploading them to DeoVR.
Step 1: Install Insta360 Studio

Switch between Media Mode and Project Mode from the top middle of the interface.
In either mode, you can:
- Trim your videos.
- Stabilize using FlowState.
- Set Direction Lock to control how the center view behaves.
Step 3: Editing Basics
Single Clip:
In Media Mode, trim the start and end of the video by dragging the in/out points on the timeline.
Multiple Clips:
- First, trim each clip in Media Mode.
- Then switch to Project Mode to combine them on the timeline.
- You can also trim clips directly on the timeline in Project Mode.
Stabilization:
Keep FlowState Stabilization ON for all moving shots to avoid motion sickness.
Step 4: Adjust View and Keyframes
Direction Lock:
- ON: View follows the camera direction.
- OFF: View remains static regardless of camera movement.
Manual Keyframe Animation:

- Move to your starting point and add a keyframe.
- Rotate the preview image to your desired end view and add another keyframe.
- Play the section to preview the animation.
To adjust animation smoothness, click between two keyframes and choose from the easing presets.

Use Deep Track to keep an object/person in the center of the view.
Steps:
1. Find your object in the preview.
2. Click the Deep Track button (next to keyframe button).
3. Highlight the object (green mask).
4. Click Start Tracking.
5. Stop tracking when the object moves out of view or tracking is complete.
