How to Create Engaging 360 Videos in Just 30 Seconds

One of the most important aspects for selling a product to a consumer is convenience and simplicity. The average person won’t attempt to record a 360 video if it requires 6 cameras, advanced video editing software, and lots of time. Smartphones like the iPhone have made our lives much more convenient, eliminating the need for a physical camera. Additionally, the virtual reality (VR) industry is making it easier to shoot footage on your own and upload it online all on your phone. Thanks to these advancements, the days of clunky 360 video recording are over. Users no longer need to use a powerful computer, expensive editing software, or a camera rig—no more video frame stitching is required.

Recording 360 Video

Unfortunately, the latest iPhones don’t come with a built-in 360 camera. However, advancements like Facebook’s 360 photo feature are making this process easier for pictures. For those interested in capturing 360 video, several companies in the VR space are dedicated to bringing mobile 360 cameras to your smartphone. The VR industry is just getting started, and I assure you more cameras will be produced by competing businesses.

You will need a mobile 360 camera compatible with your phone. Here are some top options:

Giroptic iO: Giroptic iO Pop Insta360 Nano: 3040 x 1520 @ 30fps Resolution, 360° x 360° Dual Fisheye Lenses, Fusion Lens, Battery-Free 360 Camera for iPhone Rylo: The powerful little 360° camera that shoots larger-than-life video.

360 Editing Software

Now that you have your camera and have recorded your footage, it’s time to edit before publishing. Do not upload a raw 360 video because it needs cuts or edits to polish it for a better viewing experience. No need to go crazy with video effects; you already have something special to watch.
