How to Make AKASO 360 Videos Look Clearer: Settings Tips

Shot with your AKASO 360, but the video still does not look as clear as you expected?

A few small choices before you shoot, reframe, and export can make your AKASO 360 videos look much clearer. This guide shows what to check first.

‍

Why does my 360 video look blurry?

In 360 video, the total image detail is spread across the full scene around the camera. When you turn that footage into a regular flat video, the final frame uses only part of the original 360 image.

A tight Reframe view makes this more noticeable because it uses a smaller part of the original image.

Shooting settings and export settings also affect the final quality. If the original 360 footage was not captured with enough detail, or if the export setting is too low, the finished video can look less sharp.

How to make your AKASO 360 video clearer

Before shooting: use Auto Exposure Mode and 5.7K 30FPS

Before recording, wipe the lenses and look for enough light. Fingerprints, dust, water spots, and low light can make footage look blurry before you even start editing.

For most users, these settings are the easiest place to start:

Record at 5.7K 30FPS for 360 video.

Keep the camera in Auto Exposure Mode.

If the image looks too dark, raise EV slightly.

If the image looks too bright, lower EV slightly.

Avoid manual exposure or manual white balance unless you already know the exact look you want.

In darker scenes, keep the camera steady with a tripod, selfie stick, or another stable mount.

When reframing: do not zoom in too much

When you reframe 360 footage, avoid zooming in more than the shot really needs.

A close crop can focus attention on a subject, but it also uses a smaller part of the full 360 image. If the final clip looks unclear, pull the view back a little.

Use framing, camera movement, and keyframes to guide attention instead of relying only on zoom. Start a little wider, move the angle toward the subject, and crop in only when the moment needs it.

Before exporting: use 4K and High bitrate

For a final Reframe video, choose 4K and set Bitrate(Mbps) to High. This gives the exported file more room to keep the detail you captured.

Lower export settings are better saved for quick previews or temporary sharing.

FAQ

Should I use 5.7K 30FPS or 4K 60FPS?

For clearer 360 video, choose 5.7K 30FPS first. Each lens captures 2880 x 2880, so you keep more usable detail before Reframe.

In 4K 360 recording, each lens captures 2880 x 1440, so the per-lens vertical resolution is about 50% of 5.7K.

‍

Can I make a blurry 360 video sharp again after export?

Only to a limited degree. Editing can improve the look of a clip, but it cannot fully restore detail that was not captured.

‍

Why does my video look worse after uploading to social media?

Many social platforms compress uploaded videos, so a clip that looks clear on your phone may look less sharp after upload.
