Twin-lens camera stereoscopic 3D editing - unlike side by side?

Dylan-Banning wrote on 6/28/2024, 9:51 AM

I'm coming from a lack of knowledge and in a quandary. I usually use DaVinci Resolve and stereoscopic 3D editing (not rendered in side by side) is new territory.

To explain, I received twin-lens footage from a Panasonic z10000. The friend of a friend who directed a pilot episode has transferred a juggernaut payload of footage to me in hopes that I can edit it into stereoscopic 3D.

May I please ask for a starting point to begin editing with footage that is not side by side, but as far as I believe, when editing a twin-lens footage, can be toggled between 2D/3D (because from what I've read, it captures twin lenses to one sensor?). How is this possibly done with MovieStudio, if so, and how can I additionally choose my settings to render out in 3D?

Thanks for insight and help in getting started.

. . . . from what I've read, it captures twin lenses to one sensor?) . . . .

The Z10000 has 2 separate triplet sensors, separate R, G and B, and AFAIK records 'pairs' of video files, one is the left video, the other the right.

Import the video file pairs into Movie Studio placing the left video file on track 1 and the right video file on track 2 ensuring they are aligned and group them.

Select all clips on both tracks then apply Effects, Stereo 3D, Properties, Stereo 3D pair (left image first)

Edit as normal, if required.

Export in the required stereo format

Thank you for this information. I'll work on this as described.
