Spin Stitch syncs and stitches clips from VR rigs and integrated cameras, with adjustments for center point and horizon line, along with interactive mask editing that allows users to review the stitch in both browser and headset.
Spin Story combines VR clips in full stories with trimming, sequencing timelines, transitions, and effects.
And Spin Finish perfects VR masters with a wide range of color correction options, including exposure, lift gamma gain, 8-way selective color, and sharpness.
Meanwhile, Spin Publisher generates one-button encoding of VR content, using Pixvana’s Field of View Adaptive Streaming (FOVAS) technology, which adjusts focus in real time to deliver 50 megapixel quality within eyeshot at HD-bit rates.
Spin Player helps users deliver VR video experiences to targeted audiences across all major headsets, with low-latency playback.
