Why we like it

Zoetrope Z Multi View sits at rank 219 in the toolfarm library. It earns its place for turning multi-angle and multicam footage into synchronized split-screen views across several host applications.

What is Zoetrope Z Multi View?

Zoetrope Z Multi View is a collection of nine multi-channel video generators for After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. It lets you composite multiple angles on a single track and display up to nine synchronized videos at once, with or without borders.

Every MV plugin includes border controls for size and color, and you can disable them for clean, edge-to-edge video. Where a channel's aspect ratio differs drastically from the source, you can pan the image within the frame to set the focus and animate that parameter for different effects. Drop zones make the compositions easy to build: Final Cut Pro X supports drop zone selection, while in Premiere Pro and After Effects you select which track feeds each channel. It also works with synchronized multi-cam angles to create frame-accurate multi views from existing multicam footage.

Zoetrope Z Multi View requires Noise Industries FxFactory, a free download, and runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors.

Frequently asked questions

Does Zoetrope Z Multi View need FxFactory to run?

Zoetrope Z Multi View requires Noise Industries FxFactory to run, which is available as a free download. FxFactory also comes in a paid Pro version that shares the same system requirements as the free version. For up-to-date system requirements, refer to the FxFactory page on the developer's site. The requirement applies across every supported host, including After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.

Does Zoetrope Z Multi View work in DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro?

Zoetrope Z Multi View works in Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. It runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors. In Premiere Pro and After Effects, you assign channels by selecting which track you want for each one, while Final Cut Pro X supports drop zone selection. Because it relies on FxFactory, its system requirements follow those published on the FxFactory page.

How do I assign footage to each channel in Zoetrope Z Multi View?

Zoetrope Z Multi View uses drop zones to build its compositions. In Final Cut Pro X, drop zone selection is fully supported. In Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, you simply select which track you want for each channel. It also works with synchronized multi-cam angles, so you can create frame-accurate, synchronized multi views from existing multicam footage, though it isn't fully drag and drop and takes an extra step or two to link the footage with full sync.

Can I remove the borders in Zoetrope Z Multi View?

Zoetrope Z Multi View gives all of its MV plugins border controls for size and color, and you can disable the borders entirely for clean, edge-to-edge video. In addition, when a channel's aspect ratio differs drastically from the source, you can pan the image within the frame to set the focus, and that panning parameter can be animated for different effects.

Is Zoetrope Z Multi View free?

Zoetrope Z Multi View is listed as free in this catalog. Note that it requires Noise Industries FxFactory, offered as a free download, with a paid FxFactory Pro version also available that shares the same system requirements. For current licensing details, check the developer's page. Once FxFactory is installed, the plugin works across After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X, and Motion.
