What's New in Stereoscopic Workflow

| Stereo Grid and Dual Image in the Viewport Three options have been added to the list of Stereo display modes available to a Viewport. Left / Right Top / Bottom Grid The first two modes were already available as settings for the Dual Image option in the Stereo tool and Realtime Deliverables. Their presentation in a Viewport is identical to these. The new "Grid" mode is a checkerboard pattern made of the Left eye and Right eye images. The Grid size can be modified in the View menu or by using the Shift+T+drag hotkey within the viewport. Use the "Grid" mode to match the Left and Right eyes. These options are not available to the Player.
| Export Stereo clips from Batch You can now export Stereo Clips using the Batch Export node. The stereo export includes a <polarity> token that allows the user to decide where to include the polarity of the media in the exported path as well as how the polarity is distinguished. The value of the polarity token is defined using the Stereo Naming fields in the General menu of the Preferences.
| Stereo naming Preference You can now set the string that will be used for the Left and Right eye in the event of a Stereo Split or a Batch Export Node Naming Convention Preset. The Stereo Naming settings are located in the Preferences panel.
| Side by Side Stereo Capture from Tape You can now capture stereoscopic footage recorded to tape as side by side images, where one half of the image is the left eye, and the other half is the right eye. Capturing this type of footage results in a clip with a stereoscopic track. See Capturing Side by Side Footage. Real-Time Deliverables Stereo Splice You can now splice together the left and right eyes of a stereoscopic clip and output the result to a VTR as a side by side image. Use the new Dual-Image Splice option in the Real-Time Deliverables menu. This option is similar to what was available before (Dual Image - Scale), but without the resize. In fact, the two stereoscopic layers must each be exactly half the horizontal resolution of the desired output.
