Using the Flame stereoscopic workflow, you can edit, conform, visualize, and composite stereo material. Clips that you use in the Flame stereoscopic workflow can contain stereo tracks or both stereo tracks and monoscopic tracks.

A stereo track contains one left eye layer and one right eye layer. Editorial rules specific to stereo tracks help you treat the left and right eye layers as one entity. For example, the layers of a stereo track must have the same resolution and bit depth. Also, stereo tracks do not support vertical editing.

You can edit a clip containing a stereo track on the Desktop or directly through the track itself. To do any stereo compositing, you must go into Batch or Action.

This chapter provides an overview of working with stereo material in Flame with cross-references to other sections for detailed stereo information.
