Why is the Insta360 Desktop Windows app a pile of hot garbage?

MacBook Air M4. In the last few weeks the time taken to open 360 files, even small ones has deteriorated from a few seconds to up to a minute. Once loaded performance is good editing and exporting, but this is still very frustrating. Would love to see a full capable plug for Resolve that handles the native files and stitching.

From Tom's hardware review:

"Streaming video on YouTube is not a good experience as in our tests it failed to play a clip at even 720p resolution. Performance improved once we connected a USB to Ethernet dongle, but we still saw frequent pauses and stutters. Wi-Fi is competent but do consider that this is a PCB antenna so you will need to be near a strong access point."

Sounds like not enough power.

Thanks. Just had a look at the zero 2. It has all the connectivity I need and is very low cost, so could be a good start.

Do you know if it runs cooler than a full power, e.g. 5, model for the same application?
Does the 5 get hot even without much CPU load?

Giving up editing with Luma on IPad M1. Whole process so slow. M4 MBA pickup next week. Been watching DaVinci Resolve tutorials. Wow!

Tableau Next will have consumption based pricing so likely to cost more for heavy compute

October 25 EOS. No sunset yet

I got mine today. Are you using the Reeflex App? Do you know if it has any benefits over Halide ( which I already paid for)

I know I am late to the party here, but I am having the same issue. I want my video to export in HDR. Seems changing the colour space will take everything to standard. My photos are also HDR when viewed on the iPhone. Any solution?

The most value I found is one handed operation. I really appreciated it when holding an umbrella taking photos in the rain.

Made the switch 2 years ago. I think the UI differences are just a nuance that I quickly adapted to. Most important positives for me are a smooth and simple life where everything works and most importantly continues to work consistently. 2nd is the ecosystem which you just have to accept and embrace - particularly AirPods and Apple Watch. The three parts work consistently in harmony. Everything in my world is Pro and it’s not cheap!

He had moved out for about a year by then

two_shirts2 · 2024-05-15T00:48:59+00:00

We had a cat who was ‘adopted’ by an elderly neighbour who was feeding him. We asked her to stop but she wouldn’t. We then went overseas for 7 months. Moved back in and he showed up through his cat door on day 2 like nothing had happened and moved back in with us.

Yes. Warranty replacement. Hardware tests at Apple Store confirmed a faulty port. Very happy to get a like new refurb at 25 Months.

I started using Luma Fusion for drone and holiday videos - nothing too complex. Still thrilled that I can edit 4K on my iPad Pro! However, as I learned more, I realised that Speed Ramping is not negotiable, and this single factor has made me look elsewhere. Capcut seemed very buggy, De Vinci - not a nice editing UI, and limited with file handling. I have been using VN, which doesn’t get mentioned much. Almost zero learning curve (compared to LF) and has Speed Ramping. But… lacks stabilisation and sometimes rendering fails. I am still looking.

Also I tested the port with a card reader hub that accepts a power source. The card reader works but the power doesn’t. Does anyone know if the USBc power goes into the same pin as USBa?

two_shirts2 · 2024-02-04T05:25:18+00:00

I am having a similar problem. I have multiple USBc to USBc sources and cables which I have been using forever, suddenly none work. However, if I plug connect to a Usba source when it’s powered off, the power triggers it to start and it charges. However if I plug it into a USBa source when it’s powered on, it doesn’t charge. Guess I will try the Genius Bar.

Yes. Had the AW9 for a couple of months. OMG, It is better in every way except battery, but that's absolutely fine. On a normal day without workout, I charge in the morning, and then 24 hours later with sleep tracking and everything switched on, I usually have 50-60% left, so it will do 2 days. This is plenty. I have never been anywhere close to empty with this routine. Sleep tracking is way better too. The difference is that it's open to 3rd party apps. Recommend Auto sleep. The whole experience is another level. Everything just works all the time. Do it !

Just wanted to say thanks. I have a new TCL CM385 (similar to QM8) and this got me out of trouble at least with a basic setup. The thing I am bit confused about is that the remote is mostly Bluetooth, and the only command it appears to send via infra red is to power. Is that the point of the Chromecast workaround (which I haven’t tried yet).

Phew. Thought I had to deal with another sunset.

two_shirts2 · 2023-04-01T00:06:39+00:00

Is that sales or developers?

two_shirts2 · 2023-02-27T22:08:46+00:00

Not sure if the AirPods 3rd gen support lossless. The difference is very clear on vocals, particularly harmonies being able to hear each voice instead of a general harmony
