Delete the audio and video tracks you created in step 1. 

After synchronizing the events, you will have a paired stereoscopic subclip in the Project Media window. You can drag these 
clips to the timeline as stereoscopic 3D media. 

It is very important that stereoscopic 3D video have differences between the views only in horizontal displacement. Any vertical or 
rotational misalignment will detract from the viewing experience and may even cause viewer discomfort. Also, it is important to 
limit the amount and direction of horizontal offset to create comfortable depth. 

For example, when shooting with parallel-axis cameras, all of the action is usually in front of the screen, and you need to use 
horizontal image translation to push most of it behind the screen. 

Use the 3D glasses in combination with viewing the output without the glasses to create good alignment and depth settings. You 
usually want all of the action behind the screen plane, only crossing the screen plane for dramatic or special effect. However, make 
sure never to create divergence, where the left-eye picture would appear more than 2.5 inches to the left of the right-eye picture on 
the largest screen where your movie will be shown. 

For example, if the largest screen to be used is 16:9 with a 106-inch diagonal, the width is 87 percent of the diagonal, or about 92 
inches. With 1920x1080 content, 2.5 inches is only 52 pixels, so make sure your distant objects are never more than 52 pixels apart. 

You can use the Stereoscopic 3D Adjust plug-in to adjust horizontal offset, vertical offset, keystoning, and rotation. This plug-in can 
be applied at the event level, track level, or video output level. For more information about applying video effects, see 

. 

You can use the plug-in’s controls as follows: 

Item 

Description 

Drag the slider to adjust the horizontal alignment of the left- and right-eye views to 
set the perceived position of the video relative to screen depth. 

If left- and right-eye views are not aligned vertically, drag the slider to correct the 
offset. 

If left- and right-eye views are not zoomed identically, drag the slider to correct the 
offset. 

Drag the slider to correct for image keystoning. Image keystoning occurs when the 
left- and right-eye cameras are not parallel. 

Drag the slider to correct for camera tilt in the left- and right-eye views. 

Click to analyze video and automatically calculate values for Vertical Offset, Zoom, 
Keystone, and Rotation. 

Choose a setting from the drop-down list to flip the image for horizontally inverted 
cameras. 

Choose a setting from the drop-down list to flip the image for vertically inverted 
cameras. 

Select this check box if you want to automatically crop the left- and right-eye views 
during adjustment to prevent black borders created by the plug-in’s adjustments. 

When the Automatic Crop check box is cleared, you can drag this slider to adjust 
image cropping.
