About Mettle Mantra

Mettle Mantra provides a suite of stylization effects for both flat and 360° footage in After Effects and Premiere Pro, supporting monoscopic and stereoscopic over/under and side‑by‑side formats. The plugin includes Mantra ObjX for importing alembic, FBX, OBJ, glTF and USDZ files, allowing material edits and export to USDZ and glTF for AR players like Adobe Aero and Apple Reality Composer. Mantra Spherify turns 360° stills or video into 3D spheres with separate front and back images and full RGBA support, while Mantra Graphix extrudes 2D graphics into 3D shapes, logos, and text. A node‑based panel enables drag‑and‑drop effect merging without scripting, and audioreactive features link FX to audio. Globe Preview visualizes effects on a sphere’s interior and exterior in near‑real time. The tool runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs and is compatible with After Effects versions from 2025 back to CC 2014 and Premiere Pro versions from 2024 back to CC 2014.
