Equirectangular projection
In order to properly experience the 180° VR footage or still image through a VR headset, the order of the left and right eye images must be switched and an equirectangular projection of the two circular fisheye images must be performed. This equirectangular projection requires the use of Canon’s EOS VR Utility, and effectively ‘remaps’ the two circular fisheye images into two side-by-side ‘square’ images (a standard format for 180° VR image files), ready for viewing on a VR headset or editing in a compatible software application or NLE system. A checkbox in the EOS VR Utility allows users to toggle between the converted and non-converted views.
RAW (8K / 60P) video support
Compatible RAW video files taken with supported cameras (including 8K / 60P RAW LT files from the EOS R5 C) are automatically processed within EOS VR Utility, further simplifying a RAW workflow. Access to basic adjustments, including White Ballance, ISO, Brightness, Colour Space and Gamma, enable a professional output with a high dynamic range
Basic editing
Preview and playback the movie file, while marking the desired in and out points for export.
Multiple export options
Movie files can be exported into various resolutions and professional codecs, including DPX and ProRes files (Mac), ready for editing and grading in a compatible NLE application such as Adobe Premiere Pro. Still images are exported as JPEGs.
EOS VR Plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro
EOS VR Plug-in Software Update
- - GPU acceleration support (NVIDIA for Windows / Metal for Mac)
- - Apple silicon support

Why Premiere Pro?
Adobe’s Premiere Pro is the industry leading application for creating rich, immersive VR content. Canon’s EOS VR Plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro allows you to automatically perform the equirectangular conversion while seamlessly importing your Canon VR files in one simple step. The converted files can then be simply added to your timeline and edited and graded in the usual way, ready for final export and distribution.
