Stereoscopic 3D editing in Avid MediaComposer 4.0.2
in V3.5, Media Composer support left and right eyes sources as an over/under file. This means that the left eye is 1920 x 540 and is on the top part of the frame, and the right eye is also 1920 x 540 and is the bottom part of the frame. So the single 1920 x 1080 contains both eyes. Avid MetaFuze can create this format from a series of left and right sources. MetaFuze is a free download available from www.avid.com/metafuze
Once in Avid, there are settings to allow the source/record monitor to show left or right eye only, and while in Full screen mode, there is a setting to output “cherkerboard” over the DVI. With a compatible monitor that supports this mode, you can view the footage as stereo 3D. These monitors are available from Mitsubishi and Samsung and use active shutter glasses. These monitors are rear screen DLP – get the 1080p version with 120Hz. I use a DVI to HDMI cable from my graphics card.
