Stereo Compositing in Batch

Bring clips containing stereo tracks into Batch to do compositing and effects work.

Note the following when working in Batch with stereo tracks:

- You load clips containing stereo tracks into Batch the same way as mono clips.

  Inside of Batch, a clip containing a stereo track is represented by a node that has one left eye output and one right eye output, which correspond to the left eye and right eye layers of its stereo track.

  For information on how clips containing stereo tracks are represented in Batch, see Batch Concepts: Clips.

- If you brought a clip containing a stereo track into Batch but decide that you need to work with its layers as individual clips, you can convert each layer of the stereo track into a separate mono clip.

  See Creating One Clip Per Stereo Track Layer.

- If you want to preview your results in a stereo mode inside of Batch, you can activate the mode directly in a viewport.

  See Displaying Stereo Modes in Multiple Viewports.

- If you want to output one RGB clip in Anaglyph, Interlace or Dual Image mode from a right eye mono clip and a left eye mono clip, use the Stereo Node.

  See Stereo Node.

- You can automatically set an Action node to stereo by pressing the Shift+S hotkey when dragging the Action node to the schematic.

  See Setting Stereo Startup Mode.

- You can easily apply most effects to the left and right eye layers simultaneously with the Duplicate feature.

  The hotkey for creating a duplicate stereo group node is Shift+S.

  See Duplicating Batch Nodes.

- Bring clips containing a stereo track into a BFX level to apply Batch setups to selected stereo segments. When you process back to the main timeline, the same setup is applied to both the left eye and right eye segments. You can double-click the icon on either segment and you access the same BFX setup.

  See Entering a BFX Level with Stereo Segments and BFX Output Node.

- Use the Stereo settings of the Output node to process your stereo results.

  See Output Node and Defining Processing Settings For Output Nodes.

- Stereo displays are now available for Batch context views. See Viewing Nodes in Context.
