The recent Eurotrip has made me aware of significant upgrade need to my computer(s) as editing my insta360 x4 videos/photos using its free Insta360 Studio became a pain with crashes when I tried to include certain advanced features such as lightning speed play and the editing became laggy over time.
Here's a good intro video about video editing requirements. I will generalize this from Insta360 studio as that is my current work and I assume this generally apply to other editors such as Adobe Premiere, Shotcut, etc.
A quick lookup on Insta360 site, we have this table:
Computer Type | Windows | Mac |
Operating system | Windows 7 or higher | macOS 10.12 or higher |
