Hello Ovation and optodata.
Ovation: the thread might be death...but it didn't give the answer yet so... I answered here because all the other posts I found about this subject were a long list of opinions that did not contribute for a solution.
Just like the one optodata gave right now...
Optodata:
I am not talking about the output to 3D... But the input.
As I am writing this I have a 30 minutes footage from two camera rendering on Magix Video Edit Pro X6, which is one of the video editors that accept two sources (left eye plus right eye) ans merges them into a 3d movie, capable of being played on bluray, youtube... Lg P920 smartphone and so many others.
The same movie will allpw the choice f the 3D render we want to apply when playing it:
Side by side, up/down, anaglyph, 2D...
This, optodata, is the output and I am sure PD13 does also a good job here.
But how do you use the footage from camera1 for the left eye (i.e. the left part of the stereo pair) and the footage from camera2 as the sight from the right eye (i.e. the right art of the stereo pair)?
Is it possible?
Because I am navigating trough all the menus and there is nothing here that lets me do that.
Take Magix Video Edit pro X6 for example.
You grab the left eye video and place it on the timeline.
Then you grab the right eye video and place it on the same timeline right after the left eye one.
Then on menu effects, choose 3d and pick left-right pair - left eye first. (you have the chice of full or half width as well)
And "presto!!!"...
The right footage passes to the timeline below the left one and they become a "pair" that you can then sinchronize by udio or images and do a series of other alignments for the correct tuning of the paralax.
This is, technically, not difficult to do from a programming level. I hve 25 years of C and other languages programming so I know exactly what I am talking about. Specially in a time that there are so many plugins available to all programming languages.
This is just a matter of being something worth to have for Cyberlink which looks to me, up to now, it isn't.
I love PD13 and CDirector4 but it is really boring to have to have another editor just to make the first 3D fim and THEN inmport it as a 3D ro powerdirector and work with it.
It took me 6 to 8 hours on a 6Gb/s 350GB SSD on my i7 with 16GB Ram to render 30 minutes of 2K footage...
Just to be able to START working...
So...
Do you know any way to import left and right footages to PD13 or 14 and then outut them merged as Real3D?
Thanks.
