Assigning the Left and Right Eye Layer

Once a stereoscopic timeline is created, you need to make sure each layer is assigned to the correct eye. You must assign the layer to the correct eye for the following reasons:

To assign the Left and Right Eye Layer:

  1. Place the timeline focus point on the layer that has the Left Eye footage.
  2. Press Alt+L.

    The layer is now assigned to the Left Eye.

  3. Move the focus point to the other layer.
  4. Press Alt+R.

    The layers for the Left and Right Eye are now assigned and the layer names are now V1Left and V1Right.
