Question

Tracking stereoscopic footage with VR comp editor?

I am trying to track graphics into stereoscopic 360 footage. Can this be done? As far as I can tell the VR comp editor only works with monoscopic footage, which is a real drag for all of us working in 3D 360. Does anyone have a workaround?

Hello Scott!

 

I´m confronted with the same problem like you and hope for better solutions by Adobe then I will show you now.

 

I´ve found this help-text posted by Adobe in case of stereoscopic 3D in After Effects:

https://helpx.adobe.com/at/after-effects/kb/stereoscopic-3d-effects.html

 

Go to the paragraph:

Composite digital 3D elemenst with stereo recording footage from real cameras

 

You see, you have a lot of manual work to do.

 

During my research I found the following program called "SynthEyes":

The following tutorials show how the program works:

The issue why it´s not so easy to make "360 VR Stereoscopic - Motion Tracking" is explained in the following text:

"SynthEyes" belongs to "Boris FX" now, but I haven´t found the program there yet.

I will wait until "Boris FX" provide "SynthEyes" on there homepage,

because I think, they will give the program the necessary layout.

 

Wish you the best!
