Premier Pro and Insta360 insv editing workflow

Who else here does insv editing in Premiere Pro using the GoPro FX Reframe plugin? Here are some questions/issues:
  1. Is there a way to set the default for Source Settings to Direction Lock? I not only need to set this on each file, but need to set it all over again each time Premiere Pro is opened because the setting doesn't persist.
  2. I create clips in the Source Monitor, but here the FX reframe isn't in effect (only on the timeline) so I end up watch equirectangular video, which is not easy. Is there a way to see reframed video in the source monitor for the purpose of editing into clips?
  3. Even on a fairly beefy I9 system, using the FX Reframe is sluggish. The alternative is doing all of the clip editing in Insta360 Studio (much faster) and exporting them. This is not only an extra step in the workflow, but when you decide on a different reframe view in PP final editing, you need to abandon all done with those clips and start over.
I'm fairly new to Premiere Pro, especially with 360 video, so would appreciate any advice.
 
Insta360 has a PP plug-in that gets installed with the application. Have your tried that?

I tried the reframe plug-in with Resolve, while it worked, you didn't get the flowstate stabilization from Insta. That made me use the Insta application, because it makes a big difference.

I don't have a copy of PP, so I haven't used the native insta plug-in, but my gut says an insta360 integrated with PP is the way to go vs a 3rd party.

Yes, I have the Insta360 plugin that recognizes insv files and the GoPro FX reframe pougi that enables you to reframe equirectangular 360 files. I do get flowstate stabilization, etc., but have the issues stated.
 
I can do simple edits with the 360 footage in the PC app really quickly, If I want a couple of angles from the camera, it only takes a little more time to do a different angle. I don't actually like the transitions from one 360 view to another in 360, so I prefer to cut from view to view rather than rotate the camera to the next angle.
Might not be something you want to do, but works for me! :-)
 
If I ever get an Insta360 camera, I'll have to try this plugin out. I use Premiere Pro (PP) extensively. Except the last couple days I have had an issue with PP running slow and the hardware rendering not working. I think I am going to try a video card update for my Geforce 1650 Super to see if that helps.

PP costs money. I'm only using Davinci Resolve because it's free, and I'm running this motovlogging hobby on a very shoestring budget! :cool:

True True, but if you are a student or could sign up to be a student (Adult student is cool/fine) PP is pretty cheap! <$20 USD.

Export your video from the Insta360 Studio into a 360 video, not reframed. Ensure "direction lock" is enabled.

Import into PP and apply GoPro FX Reframe effect. Tadaa.

This is the workflow I use, but with my GoPro Max, Davinci Resolve and the Refram360 plugin. I feel it's the easiest way to incorporate 360 footage into my editing workflow. You only end up editing the 360 footage you actually use, instead of all of it.
