Tiny Planet filter in Motion

Converts 360° video into stereographic projection, creating a “tiny planet” effect.

Although you can apply the Tiny Planet filter to any type of footage, applying it to 360° video provides the best results. This is because the entire 360° sphere can be mapped onto a flat plane so that the image edges align seamlessly when the globe effect is created. If you apply the Tiny Planet filter to normal (non-360°) images, a seam appears where the image edges meet, similar to the result of applying the Polar filter.

You can create interesting stylistic effects by applying the Tiny Planet filter to generators or other images.

Important: To create a tiny planet using 360° video, place the video in a non-360°, standard project or standard group.

Tip: Have some fun and take a stroll around your tiny planet: Position your 360° camera, start recording, take 2 or 3 large steps away from the camera, then walk, ride, or skate in a concentric circle around the camera.

Adjust this filter using the parameter controls in the Filters Inspector:

  • X, Y, and Z Rotation: Reorients the 360° layer on the X axis, Y axis, or Z axis.

  • Field of View: Controls how much of the 360° sphere is mapped onto a flat plane.

  • Rotation Order: Changes the processing order of the rotation parameters. The options are ZYX, ZXY, XYZ, and YXZ. The default rotation order is ZYX.

  • Crop: Sets whether the filtered image is sharply cropped at its original boundaries. When this checkbox is deselected, the filter renders pixels outside of the image’s original boundaries.

  • Mix: Sets the percentage of the original image that’s blended with the filtered image.
