What Insta360 Studio is
Insta360 Studio is free desktop software for viewing and editing footage from Insta360 consumer cameras.

The listed operating systems are Windows 10/11 or later and macOS 13 or later. Only Insta360 consumer camera users can download it.
Local batch exports have no quantity limit and run one after another; cloud batch exports are limited to 10 files at a time. Studio does not export gyroscope data or save files in POV or MPEG format.
