Final Cut Pro X ships with a handful of generator, effect, and title templates designed for use with 360° projects. In Motion, you can modify most of these default Final Cut Pro effects or create your own 360° templates from scratch. 360° templates are created in the same way as standard templates, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
When creating effects or generator 360° templates, it’s recommended that you use pixel-independent filters and 360°-compatible generators. Effects that use pixel transforms, such as the Kaleidoscope filter, may create seams, unwanted distortions, or other artifacts in your template. The Hue/Saturation filter, for example, works seamlessly because the filter uses no pixel transforms. A Gaussian Blur filter works correctly—provided its 360° Aware checkbox is selected.
For more information, see Add 360° filters and generators.
Although Motion currently supports only monoscopic 360° video, you can create templates in Motion that can be used with either monoscopic 360° media or stereoscopic 360° media in Final Cut Pro. When applied to the Final Cut Pro timeline, the template automatically conforms to either type of media.
If a normal, non-360° title template is applied to a 360° project in Final Cut Pro, the 360° Transform controls are available in the Final Cut Pro Video inspector.
If a 360° title template is applied to a 360° project in Final Cut Pro, the Reorient parameters are available in the Final Cut Pro Video inspector.
