Revolve 360 earns its place by turning 360° footage into a directed edit, where the editor becomes the decision maker and controls the framing from any angle instead of handing that choice to an interactive VR user.
SUGARfx Revolve 360 edits, animates and controls spherical video and still images right in the timeline of the host application. Instead of leaving the viewing decision to an interactive VR user, the editor controls the framing and viewing of a specific area of the captured 360° panorama, showing the same moment from different angles.
You can animate the viewing angle of the virtual camera using controls for all axes. Animate manually with keyframes, use Auto-Animation by choosing a beginning and end angle and letting the application make the move, or work with advanced Timeline Animation. A built-in Timeline offers easy-to-setup values and OSC guides, and projection options include flip and flop adjustments of the projected image.
A built-in Preset system lets you create, save and share basic setups for animated moves, and those presets can be used and shared between any of the host applications at any time during production. A built-in Alpha matte supports the creation of transitions, and Revolve 360 works with both video and high-resolution images. The plugin requires Noise Industries FxFactory to run.
SUGARfx Revolve 360 is best for editors working with 360 equirectangular footage who want to direct the framing and viewing angle themselves rather than leaving it to a VR viewer.
SUGARfx Revolve 360 is completely free to download and use.
SUGARfx Revolve 360 requires Noise Industries FxFactory to run, which is available as a free download. FxFactory Pro is a paid version that shares the same system requirements as the free one. Once FxFactory is installed, Revolve 360 becomes available across the supported host applications from a single installation. For the most current system requirements, refer to the FxFactory page on the developer's site, since Revolve 360 relies on FxFactory rather than shipping its own separate requirements.
SUGARfx Revolve 360 works on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors. It runs in Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and installs across those applications from the same installation. Because it depends on FxFactory to run, check the FxFactory page for the most current system requirements before installing so you can confirm your machine and operating system are supported.
SUGARfx Revolve 360 works in Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, all from the same installation. Its Preset system can be used and shared between any of these host applications, and at any time during production of the final piece. That means an animated setup you build in one application can carry over to another, which is useful when a project moves between editing and motion tools.
SUGARfx Revolve 360 is listed as free in this catalog. It does require FxFactory to run, which is itself a free download, while FxFactory Pro is a paid version with the same system requirements as the free version. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so for the most current details check the developer's page before installing rather than relying on the listing here.
