How to Use the Mantra VR Node Panel
The Mantra VR Node Panel is designed to let you quickly add Mantra VR effects in your After Effects comp. Using a node-based UI, the panel can, easily, create complex realtionships between the effects in no time at all. The Mantra VR Panel includes a Master Controller which will seamlessly interpolate between a fully abstracted state to a non abstracted state to your 360 footage regardless of how many effects you stack together or the relationships that you build between the effects. Charles Yeager (yeagerfilm.com) walks us through the features and shows how to use them.
The Mantra VR Panel also comes with a series of presets that can be instantly used in your composition. Audioreactive features are also included, where you can have effects react based to the high, mid and bass frequencies of an audio file inside the composition.
Mantra VR is a 360/VR plugin for After Effects and Premiere Pro. It is a set of 16 stylization and practical effects that you can apply directly onto your 360 footage, available now for $229.
