360 VIDEO

Introduction

Updated 7 March 2025

360º videos have a distinctive advantage over a slide show of static photographs in that they provide a greater sense of place and action. 360º videos attract and draw more attention than static images , especially when those dynamic images are also interactive using a mouse to zoom in out, pan left and right, and tilt the image of the video up and down.

On 3 January 2024 I purchased an Insta360 ONE RS 1-inch edition camera to develop 360º videos which can be uploaded to and viewed from a suitable platform such as YouTube. I use the Insta360 Studio 2023 for Windows app to export a 360º  video and the free version of VideoPad Video Editor to edit the 360º  video. I then use Pano2VR Pro to develop HTML5 video controls.
