The VR rotate sphere effect lets you correct orientation issues with your 3D sphere, and you can add keyframes to animate the default view direction within the 360-degree space.

Even better, all these effects are GPU-accelerated, so they gain a performance advantage from your graphics hardware.

Apply the VR plane to sphere and the image will instead appear like a 2D placard within 360-degree space, with tools to adjust how far away it looks and orientation. The plane-to-sphere effect is particularly useful: without this, when you import a 2D image it will automatically look curved. The new effects are seamless, and include blur, chromatic aberrations, colour gradients, de-noise, digital glitch, fractal noise, glow, plane to sphere, projection, rotate sphere and sharpen.

There’s now a selection of 360-aware effects and transitions that derive from Adobe’s acquisition of the Mettle SkyBox Suite (sadly Adobe hasn’t included the latter’s 360 stitching tools into Premiere Pro).Īlthough you could apply 2D effects already, these introduce unwanted artefacts along stitching lines. The other significant area of improvement is for creating 360-degree VR content, which Adobe is labelling Immersive Video.
