Comparison
Turn yourself into a cartoon character. Replace the sky with something a little more interesting. Make cinematic timelapses that look like they were shot on an FPV drone.
These videos sound like they would take a lot of skill and time to edit, right? Wrong! You can do all that and more with Shot Lab, the AI video editing tool in the Insta360 app. Or rather, the AI can do it for you.
Shot Lab makes creative edits easy. At your fingertips is a continuously updated range of smart templates based on the latest and greatest camera techniques. All you need to do is shoot a video with one of Insta360’s 360-degree action cameras, say X4 or X3, then tap a few places in the app to insert your video into a template. That’s it! The AI does the rest.
Want to see how it works? Here are the top 10 AI video editing effects in Shot Lab.
AI Warp
AI Warp takes your videos to the next level by transforming them into stunning works of art. This template uses AI to apply filters to your videos, creating truly unique results. Choose from 12 styles to match your creative vision, or use the custom option to generate your own style with text prompts. An internet connection is required to use AI Warp.

Sky Swap
Got an epic shot that's ruined by a dull sky? With Sky Swap, you can instantly replace it with something a little more exciting! As the name suggests, this feature seamlessly swaps out the original sky for a more dynamic one, enhancing your footage in just a few taps. For best results, use it when there's a clear distinction between the sky and the horizon.

Fly Lapse
Fly Lapse brings a dynamic twist to your hyperlapse videos, using advanced AI editing technology similar to the TimeShift template. This effect adds smooth barrel rolls and faster speed ramping to create the illusion of flying like an FPV drone. Getting started is easy—just walk in a straight line with your selfie stick. No need for complex movements; the AI handles all the reframing edits for you right in the app.

Electric Surge
Feeling electric? This one's for you! Take your videos to the next level with high-energy effects that put you (or your subject) at the center of attention—literally. This template adds visual effects like flames, electric sparks, and energy beams. For the best results, keep the focus on a single person.
CineLapse
Capture incredible timelapse videos that look as if they were filmed with an FPV drone! Simply walk around interesting locations for about two minutes, holding your camera up on a selfie stick. The AI-powered template takes care of everything, seamlessly adding smooth pans and dynamic transitions to bring your footage to life. Just walk, shoot, and let AI do the rest!
Horizon Flip
Whether you're riding a motorcycle, walking, biking, or skateboarding, Horizon Flip takes your footage to the next level. This template seamlessly combines both forward and rear views, rotating the frame a full 360 degrees for a mind-blowing effect. For the best results, shoot on a flat surface with a level horizon to achieve smooth and immersive visuals. Get ready to flip your perspective like never before!
Spin Me Around
Just like the name suggests, this template will make your head spin—literally! Spin Me Around creates the illusion of spinning at super speed, adding an exciting twist to your videos. Combine multiple clips, and the app will seamlessly stitch them together to make it look like you're teleporting to different locations. Perfect for travel vlogs and creative storytelling.
Flash Dash
Just like Spin Me Around, Flash Dash creates the illusion of high-speed movement, but this time you're racing forward instead of spinning. This template is perfect for creating fast-paced, exciting videos that make it look like you're covering vast distances in just seconds. Electric sparks are just the cherry on top.
Street Lapse
Unlike a regular timelapse, Street Lapse takes things up a notch by automatically combining two clips to create a truly impressive effect. Simply film yourself for 20 seconds, then step out of the frame and capture traffic for 1 to 3 minutes. The app will handle the rest. No need to try and stand still for several minutes to achieve the same result anymore.
AI Selfie Stick Eraser
One of the defining features of our Invisible Selfie Stick is the fact that it is indeed invisible. While this effect is applied automatically when filming with our 360-degree cameras, our Ace Pro Series doesn't support this feature natively. Which is where this template comes in! Together with some clever AI trickery, even non-360-degree footage can erase the selfie stick with ease.

And more...
The best part is that Shot Lab is continuously updated with new AI video editing effects to keep your edits fresh. Shot Lab started with just seven templates a year ago and now hosts over 20 and counting.
