How to Stitch Insta360 Pro2 Footage: A Complete Guide

The Insta360 Pro2 is one of the most advanced professional 360° cameras, widely used for VR filmmaking, live events, real estate, and immersive storytelling. With its six lenses and seven memory cards, the camera captures high-quality spherical videos. However, to get the best results, you need to stitch the footage properly. Stitching is the process of combining all the lens recordings into one seamless 360° video.

In this blog, we’ll explain step by step how to stitch Insta360 Pro2 footage using the official tools and tips to ensure professional output.

Step 1: Import Footage from All Memory Cards

The Insta360 Pro2 records to six microSD cards (one per lens) and one SD card for proxy/gyro data.

• Remove all cards carefully.

• Label them to avoid confusion.

• Copy the files into a well-organized folder structure on your computer.

Step 2: Install Insta360 Stitching Software

To process Pro2 footage, you’ll need:

• Insta360 Stitcher or

• Insta360 Pro Studio (latest recommended version).

This software automatically reads gyro data and aligns footage for better stability.

Step 3: Load Project into Pro Studio

• Open Insta360 Pro Studio.

• Import all the clips.

• The software will sync the videos using metadata and gyroscope information.

Step 4: Adjust Stitching Parameters

• Use Optical Flow stitching for complex scenes.

• Adjust stitch line position to hide overlaps.

• Enable gyro stabilization for smoother footage.

Step 5: Export Your Final Video

Choose output settings based on your project:

• 8K resolution for maximum detail.

• ProRes or H.265 codec depending on editing needs.

• Export as .mp4 or .mov for compatibility.

Pro Tips for Better Stitching

• Avoid moving objects near stitch lines.

• Use a nadir patch to hide tripod legs.

• Always shoot in well-lit environments for sharper stitches.
