VR FLICKER FIXER

Pro-sumer 360 video cameras are prone to flickering when shooting with mixed lighting sources. Continuum VR Flicker Fixer can eliminate or reduce luminance flicker with one simple click, providing 3 different methods for removing flicker. Apply the Frame Analysis method on clips with uniform flickering throughout the frame – e.g. flicker that is caused by unintended shutter speed or aperture variations from frame to frame. Apply the two Temporal Smoothing methods on clips where flicker varies from pixel to pixel within the frame – e.g. a scene that is lit partly by natural light and partly by a flickering artificial light. Also, Continuum VR Flicker Fixer really shines with mixed with host masking or Mocha VR’s 360 masking tools for isolated flicker correction.

VR SHARPEN

VR Sharpen provides the highest quality 360 video sharpening available by using state-of-the-art image algorithms to enhance image detail while minimizing artifacts associated with traditional sharpening tools. The core sharpening algorithm performs up to four passes on Fine, Small, Medium, and Course pixel arrays, targeting physical details that have wider and wider pixel dimensions with each stage.

VR BLUR

The VR Blur filter generates out-of-focus effects by emulating the look of shooting with soft focus or a lens diffusion filter. Designed from the ground up to operate in 360/VR with multiple edge wrap modes to process pixels that reside along the edge of the 360 seam. (Non-VR aware filters will generate a hard line across the seam and will not create a convincing look.) VR Blur includes independent controls for the amount of blur along the horizontal and vertical axis, making it easy to emulate fast camera pans. VR Blur complements Mocha VR masking tools for blurring faces and logos in 360 projects.

VR INSERT

VR Insert allows users to easily insert a secondary source clip, title, logo, etc. into a 360/VR shot in true 360/VR space in either mono or stereo format in addition to providing a full array of controls to reorient the source in 360/VR space.

Supports mono, stereo, top/bottom, side by side: 360 / 180 formats
Cross-Host presets: save your favorite animated title moves and share across hosts
Stereo 3D convergence and X,Y, Z orientation controls to properly position inserted elements in stereoscopic position
Insert Repeater: replicates titles and inserts to be visible on all 360 views in one simple effect. No duplication or layering necessary
Combine 2D video assets into 360 work-space (picture in picture)
Combined Insert/Reorient. Add graphics and re-position the background video layer in one simple effect

VR REORIENT

VR Reorient enables users to reorient a 360/VR shot in true 360/VR space in either mono or stereo format. The filter includes a set of intuitive overlay controls that map each section of the 360 source clip to its respective face in the 360 environment, emulating the view that a user would experience when consuming 360 media via a head mounted display system like Oculus Rift.

Use the VR Reorient filter to re-position or center the hero view, fix footage shot at angles or drones, and flatten the horizon.

Supports mono, stereo, top/bottom, side by side: 360 / 180 formats
Cross-Host presets and saved views
Headset preview and preset views: Preview mode displays “headset view” for editing purposes, toggle between views, or to deliver a director/viewer cut
