RE:Lens provides lens conversions, projections and stabilization for 360 and 180 VR and fisheye footage.

With RE:Vision Effects RE:Lens, easily convert lens projections and add stabilization to give your videos the professional look they deserve! Plus, work directly on 360 VR and fisheye footage.

RE:Vision Effects RE:Lens Highlights

RE:Vision Effects RE:Lens Features

  • Single-camera 360-video made easy. Shoot with a single camera with a superfish lens and convert the video to LatLong format suitable for use with 360 VR viewers. With the proper lens and camera setup, stitching can often be eliminated from your 360 workflows.
  • 360 VR and fisheye stabilization. RE:Lens’ spherical stabilizer reduces shakiness in 360 VR and fisheye footage that regular stabilizers are unable to fix. Simply press “Track” and the footage is analyzed without the need for a complicated workflow.
  • More uses for superfish, high-res imagery. Capture super wide-angle shots with large resolution, then straighten and animate camera rotations and zooms in post, providing greater flexibility when directing the viewer’s attention. Even create two separate virtual views using a single camera!

Feature Specs

Straighten video

Capture with your fisheye or super fisheye lens and then convert to normal “rectilinear” projection for output, eliminating the need to watch curved images. (Not available with FCPX, Motion)

360 (LatLong) to 2D conversion.

Convert your 360 panoramic VR video to normal 2D, with options to edit and animate your point of view within the LatLong video. (Not available with FCPX, Motion)

Super fisheye to 360 VR

Convert super fisheye to a 360 panoramic VR video in a single step without the need for stitching software.

Stabilization is easy to use! 

Simply press “Track” to analyze the footage without the need for a complicated workflow. Works directly on your 360 VR and fisheye footage with no need for projection onto cube faces, or managing tracking points manually. (Not available with Premiere Pro)

Spherical stabilization.

RE:Lens tracks and stabilizes global camera orientations, which is needed when working with 360 VR and fisheye video. Track once and optionally modify the stabilization profile to your liking. (Not available with Premiere Pro)

Motion graphics, titles, CG

Paint or add motion graphics, titles, 3D material to your LatLong, fisheye, and other non-rectilinear material easily: Convert to normal 2D, add motion graphics or 3D animation, then project back to your source format. (Not available with FCPX, Motion)

Immersive videos

Create ultra-wide aspect ratio videos from fisheye and wide-angle field-of-view lenses, maintaining a larger undistorted FOV than you can with any normal range lens. (Not available with FCPX, Motion)

Perspective correction

Proper perspective correction controls for wide-angle and fisheye. (Not available with FCPX, Motion)

Pincushion and barrel distortions

Handles normal pincushion and barrel corrections for super wide-angle zoom lenses (Not available with FCPX, Motion)

Straighten super-wide video with fewer artifacts

Option to reduce over-stretched corners when generating super-wide field-of-view outputs. (Not available with FCPX, Motion, Scratch, Silhouette)

High-resolution panoramas

Use super high-res 360 stock panoramas, or capture your own, and animate a virtual camera move within them. (Not available with FCPX, Motion, Silhouette)

Chromatic fringing reduced

Attenuates chromatic distortions and fringing that can occur with curved lenses. (Not available with FCPX, Motion)

Mirror-based systems handled

Dedicated support for exotic mirror-based systems such as parabolic lens-mirrors and mirror balls. (Not available with FCPX, Motion)

High-quality filtering

Option to automatically soften or sharpen in the appropriate places.

Projection formats.

RE:Lens handles rectilinear, latitude longitude (equirectangular 360 panoramic VR), fisheye, super fisheye, super wide-angle zoom, mirror ball, and parabolic lens-mirror projection formats. (Not available with FCPX, Motion)

GPU accelerated

360 viewer footage from a single cam

In this example, we use RE:Lens™ to directly convert 280° super fisheye footage to a format suitable for 360 view viewers.
