Stereo3D Toolbox
The Stereo3D Toolbox™ suite of plugins marks a new milestone in stereoscopic 3D post-production on Mac OS X.
Powerful plugins for Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro & Motion make stereoscopic post-production easier than ever.
-
Stereo3D Toolbox Version 3 will support the latest versions of Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, Motion, and Mac OS Snow Leopard or Lion.
Optimized Code
Streamlined and optimized code for faster previewing.
Scopes
Stereoscopic Scopes compatible with the Dashwood 3D Chart help to precisely align the colorimetry of the left and right cameras.
Custom Anchor Points
Custom anchor point for keystone/tilt/rotation disparity correction. This is particularly useful for tuning our mirror tilt.

Hasbro® my3D
Stereo3D Toolbox includes a "stereoscope" output mode for use with your iPhone and Hasbro's my3D.
New Analysis Modes
Stereo3D Toolbox now includes Difference, Anaglyph B&W and the revolutionary Anaglyph Outline Mode for speedy camera alignment.
Parallax Inspector™
This “magnifying glass style” Parallax Inspector is used to confirm that positive parallax will not cause divergence of the eyes.
Mac OS X Lion Support
Stereo3D Toolbox utilizes the power of Quartz and your Mac's graphics card to render. Adobe After Effects CS3, CS4, CS5 & CS5.5, Final Cut Pro 6, 7 & 10 and Motion 4 are all supported under Snow Leopard and Lion.

GoPro 3D and
Panasonic AG-3DA1Bypass a tedious transcoding process by importing H.264 3D files from the GoPro 3D and Panasonic AG-3DA1 cameras directly into FCP X and couple them as a compound clip with Stereo3D Toolbox's new nesting tools.
Upgrade
As always, upgrades are free for version 2 Stereo3D Toolbox license holders.

Precise Stereoscopic Alignment
The Geometry filter of Stereo3D Toolbox allows you to adjust convergence with horizontal image translation (HIT) and also eliminate vertical, rotational, keystone & focal length disparity using either pixel-based or scalable percentage sliders.
All adjustments can be keyframed with sub-pixel precision and "ease in/out" bezier curves allowing for complete creativity during depth grading.
The Geometry filter also features the "autoscale" function to eliminate cropped edges as well as stereoscopic scale, rotation and reframe tools that allow you to compose the shot any way you like.This product is way ahead of its time

2D + Z-Depth conversion to stereo3D
New to the Stereo3D Toolbox suite is the Depth Map filter designed for converting 2D+Z-Depth Map CGI renders to stereoscopic 3D. The Depth Map filter can also be used to create custom rotoscoped depth maps in After Effects or Motion for 2D to 3D dimensionalization processes.

Previews tools within the User Interface
Many of Stereo3D Toolbox's filters feature active preview tools that immediately present valuable feedback like basic motion statistics, L/R difference, and the new anaglyph outlines preview. Circular Polarized 3D monitors are also now supported by the preview canvas in FCP, Motion & After Effects.
Parallax Guides are also provided with automatic calculations based on display size or the preferred custom parallax percentage. Native Pixel Parallax and other important information can also be superimposed on the output.Multiple Stereoscopic formats
Stereo3D Toolbox supports the input and output most popular stereoscopic delivery formats like side-by-side, above-below, line-by-line (a.k.a. field-sequential), column interleaved, checkerboard, and tunable anaglyph modes (R/C, B/Y, G/M.) The Monitor Scaler filter is also provided to support most inexpensive non-HD resolution 3D monitors.
Stereoscopic Text
The Stereo3D Text Generator provides a complete solution for creating and positioning flat text in 3D space. A variety of colour, font, size, outline and shadow controls compliment this powerful tool. Useful for main titles as well subtitles, the text generator's depth position slider can be animated to allow text to recede into the 3D scene or "float" off the screen.

Advanced stereoscopic mastering tools
The Stereo3D Toolbox suite includes two advanced professional stereoscopic mastering tools.
The Virtual Floating Window filter can be used to create and keyframe pixel-precise angled crops to minimize the effects of stereo window violations.
Ghost Toaster™ aids in the reduction of high-contrast crossover in circularly polarized display systems and monitors.
Fine control of image balance
Balance exposure and colour with the Image Balance filter. Controls are available for exposure, input and output levels, saturation, white balance preset, and individual RGB input/output levels. As with all other slider controls in the Stereo3D Toolbox™ suite of plugins, adjustments can be keyframed and animated over time. The Flip/Flop functions available in all of the Stereo3D Toolbox filters can be used with FCP's waveform monitor to aid in left/right comparisons.
