• 360 Lightsword (2-point Auto): Provides a rapid method of applying lightsword effects to your 360° film requiring placing a point on the hilt and a point on the blade tip.
• 360 Lightsword (4-point Manual): Allows you to implement lightsword effects into 360° film with precise positioning, with two points defining the edges of the hilt and two points defining the edges of the blade tip.
• 360 Lightsword (Glow Only): Applies the lightsword effect’s custom glow behavior to any 360° video layer without providing an interface for easy lightsword generation.
• 360 Magnify: Zooms in on a specific area of the 360° video layer. The shape, size, and position of the magnification can all be changed.

• 360 Viewer: Apply this effect to a 360° video layer to wrap the layer onto a spherical shape for viewing.
• Block Displacement: Splits the video into a grid of blocks and allows you to swap them around or randomize them.
• Puppet: Use the Puppet tool to quickly add natural motion to raster images and vector graphics, including still images, shapes, and text characters.
• Clone: The clone stamp is useful for duplicating or removing specific parts of a layer.
• Text: Apply advanced, customizable text to your footage.
• Dot Matrix: Similar to the half tone effect, Dot Matrix creates a look similar to a black and white newspaper print, but dots are based on a grid of squares.
• Pixel Sort: Sorts the pixels in the video based on brightness. This can be used to create some amazingly stylized effects, as seen in many popular films, including Ghost in the Shell.
