[[Premiere Pro]] notably is not compatible with 3D space, but has a fake, "Basic 3D" plugin to provide 3D transformations. Older versions of [[Windows Movie Maker]] (namely 2.6 and older) are also capable of this, however usually need custom plugins will need to be installed.

===Fake Orthographic 3D with Minimax===

Using the minimax effect and a bit of layering trickery, you can make a fake orthographic 3D object with its own depth!

* Create a "base composition" - any rotations or transformations you want to apply here. Then render/precomp to be used again.

* Using this prepared composition, create two copies of it; one will be the "depth" through minimax, while the other will be the "top" of the object.

* For the minimaxed layer, add the minimax effect. If working with alpha (recommended), make sure the minimax applies to the alpha layer. Set it then to vertical only, and the [[blend mode]] to "Maximum" (others work but not as well). The amount of minimax is equivalent to the desired height of the object.

* Place the second, unedited layer where the top of the minimax object ends (not the frame but the object itself). This will "cap off" and hide the weird blending, showing only the depth lines. Now you're done!

Rotating the initial composition makes the technique much more effective.
