Q7 Why are my recordings from Insta360 GO 2 presented in a spherical/circular format on my computer?

If you are viewing GO 2 videos on your computer and they are in a spherical/circular format, it means that the videos were recorded in “Pro Video” mode. In this case, please click here and install the Insta360 Studio software and process your Pro Video files via Insta360 Studio.

Recording a spherical file offers some benefits over a standard file. Benefits of recording in Pro Video mode include:
Superior FlowState stabilization and horizon levelling;
Option to readjust FOV (UltraWide, ActionView, Linear and Narrow) in post-production;
Ability to change aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16 and 1:1) in post-production.

If you prefer to use the standard (non-circular) video file, please record in “Video” mode.

Pro tip: You can customize button controls to your preferred recording modes. To do this, connect your GO 2 to your mobile device, then under “Settings” of the Insta360 app, go to “Button Settings” and select your preferred recording modes. Click here for detailed tutorial.
