Toronto, Canada - Now available on FxFactory: Dashwood 360VR Toolbox(TM) offers real-time 360 degree VR headset monitoring while editing, and a full-featured plugin suite for Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Final Cut Pro.

360VR Toolbox literally turned heads during IBC in Amsterdam with its ability to preview 360 degree spherical footage in the Oculus Rift while playing from an edited sequence in Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe After Effects. The latest patent-pending features have now been revealed in the public beta of 360VR Toolbox. These include full stereoscopic 3D support, reorientation of equirectangular "LatLong" panoramic footage, output of "pan and scan" mono or stereoscopic video, placement of 2D elements inside spherical footage, support for equirectangular, stereographic or cubic projections, and "seamless" 360 degree filters like blur, sharpen, glow and noise reduction.

"360VR Toolbox had an incredible reception during IBC and has already been downloaded thousands of times." said Tim Dashwood, founder of Dashwood Cinema Solutions. "We honed the feature set through feedback from our stellar beta test group of VR professionals, and are excited to put the public beta in the hands of the masses. I am very proud to say that 360VR Toolbox is already in the post-pipeline of numerous 360 degree content producers, including industry leaders JauntVR, Immersive Media, and Al Jazeera Media Network."

"The immediacy of our 360 degree video content means a very fast turn-around from capture to delivery." said Ousama Itani, Senior Officer, Innovation, Al Jazeera Media Network. "Dashwood's 360VR Toolbox gives us the tools to edit and finish our VR content with the same ease as traditional broadcast video. The real-time HMD preview feature immensely speeds up the story editing process, and tasks like superimposing graphics or lower-third titles become simple."

Dashwood demonstrated new features in 360VR Toolbox during IBC2015 in Amsterdam at IBC Future Zone, FCP EXPO and the CPUG Supermeet. Photos from events available upon request.
