Insta360 Luna Quick Share ​

Availability: Website 1.7.8 local preview, installed on Ryan's Mac. The public Website download remains 1.7.6. Quick Share is not in the Mac App Store edition. The GitHub source includes the preview implementation. A real card import and visual review of known I-Log footage remain to be checked.

Quick Share makes compressed MP4 copies for convenient sharing. It reads the verified originals saved by a completed import and puts the new files in Sharing Copies inside that import's dated folder. Full-quality imported originals remain intact. The original import's card-retention or deletion settings still apply separately.

Set up a device LUT ​

  1. Open Device Media Imports…, then Edit your Insta360 Luna device.
  2. Under Instant LUT · Quick Share, enable Offer Quick Share with the Insta360 Luna LUT.
  3. Choose your preferred 1080p or 4K size.
  4. Check that Official Luna Rec.709 LUT ready appears. If needed, use Choose Luna LUT… to install Luna_I-Log_to_Rec709_BT1886_s33_v2.cube from Insta360's official Luna LUT download.
  5. Save the profile.

Enabling this option offers a manual action. Importing does not make sharing copies automatically. It remains independent of shared import defaults. This preview uses FFmpeg and FFprobe already installed on the Mac; it does not bundle those tools or the manufacturer's LUT.

Make copies after importing ​

With Ask to eject after import enabled, the completion dialog adds Quick Share… beside Keep Connected and Eject Now. For a camera with several mounted storage sources, the same choice appears beside Eject Camera.

  1. Choose Quick Share….
  2. Select 1080p for smaller files or 4K for more detail.
  3. Enable Apply Insta360 Luna I-Log LUT only for footage recorded in I-Log. Turn it off for normal-color clips. The choice applies to all supported clips in this batch.
  4. Choose Make Quick Share Copies. Cancel leaves the import alone.
  5. When copies finish, the eject dialog offers a fresh choice. Quick Share never ejects the card automatically.

You can also use Quick Share… under Completed imports · Quick Share on Device Media Imports. The last 20 completed batches remain available after card ejection and app restart. Connect their destination drive; the source card is not required. Enabling the device's LUT option after completion also makes its saved batches available. Imports completed before this preview recorded their manifests are not reconstructed by scanning old folders.

Size and color ​

1080p targets about 60 MB per minute and 4K about 180 MB per minute, with H.264 video, AAC audio and up to 30 fps. Actual size varies. Landscape and portrait framing are retained; smaller clips are not enlarged. These are compressed sharing copies for casual viewing, not grading masters.

This preview supports independent Luna Ultra and Luna Pro master MP4s with the embedded camera identity. It does not stitch 360 recordings or convert HDR/Dolby Vision. It cannot reliably identify I-Log from ordinary video color tags, which is why you choose whether to apply the LUT every time.

Existing sharing copies are preserved. A repeat request can reuse a matching verified copy; a different size or color choice creates a separate copy. Changed saved originals or unavailable destination storage stop the export. Stop Quick Share cancels the current export safely while retaining originals and completed copies. Resolve the reported issue and retry from the completed import.
