support for the Insta360 series of 360 cameras
premiere already has a plugin that supports the Insta360 .insv file.
since the insta360 studio (the only way to export the .instv file to mp4 so it can be used in vegas) usually exports at 5.7k native resolution it has to changed to 4k in order for vegas to be able to edit it. powerdirector 17 can edit the insta360 studio 5.7k file no problem
so vegas please add support for this growing in popularity camera
and now premiere has support for the gopro reframe plugin so you can reframe 360 videos, brillant!
So far I know, the Premiere Pro plug-in was developed by insta360 developers (or GoPro developers for GoPro cameras), and the request for Vegas Pro plug-in need to be sent to them.
Actually, the native .insv can be put directly to Vegas Pro timeline, but unfortunately the audio is lost, and there's a problem on stitching back and forth camera if done manually within Vegas Pro environment.
yes i have tried the scene rotation but the 2 images do not line up perfectly and there are black nadir spots as vegas does not support 5.7k . that is why you have to export out of studio at 4096x2048 so that vegas can render properly
I'm curious to experiment again with the workflow for 360...
Here's my screenrecord for the short-experiment:
In order to get rid of black bar on top and bottom (in case your output is to make it back to normal video) is to put the 5.7K MP4 in 4096x2048 project, save it, and then make new project, put the previous VEG Project file into the new project as nested project, and put FX Scene rotation and tiny planet as MediaFX.
Not a straightforward workflow but working...
In order to speed up the 4K VEG resolution, do Create Video Proxy on the veg file
(but make sure to delete .sfap0 and .sfvp0 files if you are updating that VEG project and recreate video proxy))
The cons of having nesting project like in previous comment is the lost of resolution (5.7K to 4K limit).
*Haven't tried:
I think the other alternate way is to create 2160x1080 workflow project, make a temporary guide reference for 1920x1080 output, and later crop it after intermediate render.
*Still not a direct workflow - but I assumed this can work too

Confirmed: quickly tried, and worked:
Make 1st project that follows the source's aspect ratio, in this case 2:1 - so it is 2160x1080, and then make guide for 1920x1080 if you want a precision output (or 1080x1080 if you plan to make it square). With this way, you can put Scene Rotation and Tiny planet FX as EventFX, and you can sync the timeline cursor between the FX page and main timeline page. Much easier to work rather than MediaFX.
After done the editing, hide the guide, Save this 1st project as 1st VEG.
Now make new project, put 1st VEG project file to new project, set to output 1920x1080 (or 1080x1080), do pan & crop to crop the side.
Render to your desired output.
+1 for .insv support.
Surely this request better comes from the software developer if it needs to?
Just testing my new Insta360OneR, 5760x2880
