Manual Uploading and Processing Walks

Have more questions? Submit a request

Uploading of Walk data to DroneDeploy for processing can only be accomplished manually through the DroneDeploy website, and not via the mobile ground app in case of a sync failure.

There are two methods available for uploading your Walk data:

  • Manual Upload via DroneDeploy Website in .INSV or .MP4 format:

    • Navigate to the DroneDeploy website.
    • Access the UPLOAD tab.
    • If you are uploading .insv or ".mp4" files, click on "New Upload" and proceed by dragging and dropping the ".insv" or "mp4" files. To ensure a successful upload, each Walk should include two .insv video files when using Insta360 cameras earlier than the One X4, and one .insv file if using the One X4.
  • Ensuring Correct Video Format:

    • Before uploading, ensure your 360 videos are in the correct format. For Insta360 cameras, the One X4 requires one .insv file, while earlier models need two .insv files in equirectangular format. For all other cameras, the video should be in an .mp4 file with an equirectangular format for 360 Walks.

Uploading .INSV & MP4 Files

Simply click the UPLOAD tab to begin uploading the file(s) to DroneDeploy.

If you are uploading .insv or MP4 files, click go to the UPLOAD tab and click the "New Upload" button.

  • Drag and Drop the ".insv" files. To ensure a successful upload, each Walk should include two .insv video files when using Insta360 cameras earlier than the One X4, and one .insv file if using the One X4.
  • Select the "Choose Files" or Drag and Drop the files to upload.
    • Locate the 2 .insv files if you have a Insta360 camera earlier than the OneX4.
    • If using the OneX4 locate the 1 .insv file.
    • If using any other 360 cameras locate the ".mp4" files to upload.

Assigning Data to an Interior Level

Once you've dropped the Walk or 360 data in the upload window, you will see it listed with a media number and date.

Note, that this data will default to the Exterior map view.

Assign to an Interior Level

You can assign data to any level on the Interior by clicking the More option shown below.

Then, choose the level you'd like to upload the data to.

Do not close the tab or disconnect the SD card until the upload is completed.

Alignment and Viewing

Please note alignment features are available only on the Desktop/Web version of DroneDeploy.

For the best experience, use the Ground App, which automatically aligns your walk. If you're not using the app, you can manually align walks:

  1. Select Walks from the Media left side panel.

  3. On the left side of the alignment screen, choose the start and endpoints with numbered blue pins.

  4. Select the layer for alignment (Basemap or uploaded overlays) at the top.

  5. On the right side of the alignment screen, manipulate the points to align and scale the walk path.
