Adobe After Effects vs ReShoot 360

Adobe After Effects is motion design and visual effects software for animating text, illustrations, and graphics and compositing effects for film, TV, video, and the web. It can animate still images for title sequences and credits, and its 3D workspace combines animated 3D shapes with 2D graphics. AI Object Matte isolates a moving subject, with refinement brushes for stray pixels; object tracking and Content-Aware Fill can remove unwanted elements across frames. Compositions can move into Premiere through Adobe Dynamic Link without intermediate rendering, and layered Photoshop files keep their layers on import. Render projects in the app’s Render Queue or with Adobe Media Encoder. Adobe recommends a dedicated video editor such as Premiere for editing clips. The software runs on macOS and Windows; activation, subscription validation, and online services require internet access and registration. A seven-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Adobe also provides free training guides and instructor-led video courses.

ReShoot 360 reframes existing 360-degree photos and videos as conventional photos and videos. It accepts spherical equirectangular files and lists Insta360 X, GoPro Max, DJI Osmo 360, and Ricoh Theta as compatible cameras. Editing tools include keyframes, transitions, and camera movement controls; AI Tracking follows faces, bodies, animals, and more. Social Media Presets prepare exports for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, and Facebook. The free version includes filters, keyframes and transitions, AI tracking, photo-to-video, and social presets. PRO adds photo exports up to 8K, video exports up to 4K at 60 frames per second, and tools to hide a tripod and straighten the horizon. PRO costs $2.49 per month, $19.99 per year, or $99.99 once. The app is listed for Android, iOS, and macOS, while the maker specifically states availability on Android and iOS. It edits existing spherical content rather than capturing it, and does not accept ordinary non-spherical input. The maker says the app collects, shares, or sells no user data.
