Adobe & Mettle SkyBox products: 360 degrees better.

We are very proud to announce that Adobe has acquired SkyBox Suite*. We believe this is a winning scenario for our customers, Adobe, and Mettle, in a move that will advance and further democratize the 360/VR medium. Our plugins have been recognized as best-in-class by Adobe and 360/VR content creators worldwide, making the SkyBox Suite a logical addition to the Adobe Creative Cloud offering. This means that complete 360/VR production workflows will be available to all Adobe customers who hold subscriptions for After Effects, Premiere Pro or the full Creative Cloud, by the end of the year. A huge thank-you to everyone who has bought our plugins. Kudos to all the 360° pioneers.

As of October 18, 2017, Adobe has fully integrated the SkyBox Suite of plugins into Creative Cloud.

Adobe has more information about this integration on their website.

Tech support is also now available from Adobe. For support, please contact Adobe support team or check out the free tutorials for After Effects or Premiere Pro.
