- 360 Bulge: Creates the illusion of a bulging shape pushing through the layer in a 360° video.
- 360 Channel Blur: Blurs channels individually within a 360° video. Useful for creating the impression of chromatic aberration.

- 360 Glow Darks: Functions similar to a standard glow but affects dark areas rather than light areas in 360° video.
- 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.

- Block Displacement: Splits the video into a grid of blocks and allows you to swap them around or randomize them.

- 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.
