Getting Started with Stereoscopic 3D material

A step by step tutorial that demonstrates how to automatically synchronize stereoscopic 3D clips in Final Cut Pro X, create stereo-pair compound clips for stereo3D editing, correct 3D disparities, and use global output modes with Stereo3D Toolbox LE v3.0. After Effects, Motion and FCP 7 are also examined.

When using FCP X it is possible to edit 3D clips from GoPro 3D or Panasonic’s 3DA1 without transcoding the footage first. Stereo3D Toolbox Light Edition also includes output support for Hasbro’s my3D stereoscope for iPhone or iPod Touch.

    Hi,

    I have a question on the Dashwood Stereo 3D, supposing i have a 2D video file and I want to convert it to stereo 3D what are the steps in order to make it look like it was shot in 3D cameras?
    I purchased the Dashwood stereo 3D LE and I really like to software! Hope you can help me on this!

    Thank you,

    Benedict

    The Stereo3D Toolbox plug-in suites are designed to edit and master stereoscopic 3D, not to convert 2D video to 3D.

    The full suite features a 2D-Depth map plug-in designed for CGI animation but the user is able to “convert” 2D video by using itself as the depth map. The results aren’t exactly ideal since the tool was not designed for this purpose.

    I am interested in purchasing your Stereo3D Toolbox plug-in. I am using 3D footage from the Panasonic GH2. I looked at your tutorial and it seem to me that it will work because the footage i GH2 comes synchronized “side by side”. How do I export this movie in Final Cut Pro X to be able to play it using a video projector and 3D glasses? I a sorry about simple questions but I am ew at this and I want to make sure I cn do it before I buy plug-in.

    Thanks
    Jorge

    If I understand right, when creating the compound-clip, you’ll loose 1/2 of the original resolution? Is there a way to work with full-resolution side-by side (3840×1080) files?
