Mastering DJI Studio

A Comprehensive Online Course

for Video Editing

Course Introduction

Welcome to Mastering DJI Studio: Editing and Reframing for the DJI Osmo 360 Camera – your complete online course designed to transform raw 360° footage into captivating, professional-grade videos!

Launched in 2025, the DJI Osmo 360 is a groundbreaking handheld 360° camera featuring native 8K/30fps panoramic video, 1-inch sensors for exceptional low-light performance, and innovative modes like 4K/120fps Boost Video.

It captures immersive spherical content that lets you relive every angle of the action – from adventures and vlogs to creative storytelling. However, the real magic happens in post-production: turning that all-encompassing sphere into dynamic, viewer-friendly flat videos with controlled perspectives, smooth pans, zooms, and subject tracking.

DJI Studio is the powerful free desktop software (available for macOS 11+ and Windows 10+) built specifically for this purpose. It offers an intuitive interface with advanced reframing tools, intelligent AI tracking, keyframe animation, dewarp for natural flattening, precise angle controls (pan, tilt, roll, FOV), colour grading, speed ramping, and seamless export options – including integration with Adobe Premiere Pro via the DJI Reframe plugin.

Whether you're a beginner exploring your first Osmo 360 clips or an intermediate creator seeking pro workflows, this course equips you with everything needed to edit efficiently on your computer.

In this structured program, you'll start with setup (PC requirements and installation), move through core editing features (importing, timeline navigation, keyframes, intelligent tracking, manual dewarp, and the property inspector), and master creative techniques like direction lock, angle adjustments, and animated reframing. By the end, you'll confidently produce polished videos ready for social media, YouTube, or professional projects.

No prior editing experience is required – just your Osmo 360 footage and enthusiasm! Expect step-by-step instructions, practical tips, keyboard shortcuts, troubleshooting advice, and visual references (including screenshots from the latest 2026 version of DJI Studio v1.0.60+).

Let's unlock the full creative potential of your 360° captures and turn ordinary moments into extraordinary stories.

Before installing DJI Studio, ensure your computer meets the minimum and recommended specifications to avoid performance issues, especially when handling high-resolution 360° videos from the Osmo 360 camera. These requirements are optimised for smooth editing, rendering, and reframing.

Minimum Requirements

• Operating System:
  • macOS: 11.0 (Big Sur, 2020) or later. Compatible with Apple M1 chip (2020) or newer.
  • Windows: 10 or later.
• RAM: 16 GB minimum (essential for processing 8K footage without lag).

Recommended Specifications for Optimal Performance

• CPU:
  • Intel: Core 13th generation or newer (preferably i7 or i9 series).
  • AMD: Ryzen 7000 series or newer (preferably Ryzen 9 or Ryzen 7 series).
• GPU:
  • NVIDIA: GeForce RTX 3060 with 12 GB VRAM or higher.
  • AMD: Radeon RX 6600 with 8 GB VRAM or higher.
• RAM: 16 GB or more (32 GB+ ideal for complex edits involving tracking or multiple clips).
• Storage: SSD with at least 500 GB free space for software, footage, and exports. The Osmo 360 produces large files (e.g., 8K 360° videos), so external drives are recommended.

Additional Notes

• DJI Studio is resource-intensive due to features like real-time previewing and AI-based tracking. If your system is below recommended specs, you may experience slowdowns during reframing or exporting.
• Test your setup: After installation, import a sample Osmo 360 clip to check for smooth playback.
• Compatibility: Ensure your Osmo 360 firmware is up to date via the DJI Mimo app for seamless file imports.
