5.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.
Tip: If your camera rig used mirrors or inverted cameras and produced flipped or rotated images that were not corrected in camera, you can correct the clip with the Stereoscopic 3D Adjust
Aligning left- and right-eye views and adjusting depth
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
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
For example, if the largest screen to be used is 16:9 with a
