Edit over under 3D 360 footage in After Effects?

Hi, I want to use After Effects' great tools for removing shadows and other artefacts from my video - however the files I want to edit and apply filters to, etc. are in Over Under stereoscopic format.

Firstly, I want to remove shadows I cast of myself from my footage; secondly I have some filters and overlays I want to apply to the footage.

I cannot see how I can tell AE where the left eye (top half) ends and the right eye (bottom half) begins, so I can edit both in tendem and get the result I want. I bought the Mettle Skybox Studio V2 but that doesn't seem to allow for this type of editing stereoscopically - unless I've miused something?

I can't see how I can alter the rendering of these files to separate the left eye and right eye components to edit separately, either.

Does anyone have experience of using AE or plugins and other software to allow me to manipulate stereoscopic video? Any recommendations welcome!

What I did was brought the stitched footage ( over/under ) into Premiere, edited the sections I wanted and then sent that sequence to After Effects where I used the clone tool to remove a few things and then went back into Premiere and did the colour on an adjustment layer. Seems to have done the trick.

Not that this helps you in 3D Dave, but I have been resorting to rendering projects in 2D from Vuze Studio, and editing this footage in equirectangular in Sequence Settings. Which defeats the purpose of the 3D capabilities, but it is the only solution I have found to allow the Vuze camera footage in Premiere to work with Mettle Skybox. Let's get this solved!

Hi Dave, sorry for the very later reply. Hunting again for an answer for this issue, I ironically came across MY OWN QUESTION unanswered.

I'm using the Vuze Camera - it films using four pairs of lenses in a saucer configuration, so provides 8 pieces of raw footage stitched into 4 3D files in external software. The onboard audio is stereo only rather than spatial.

Great camera, but that then presents my issue. As it's the only consumer-priced camera that captures 360 footage in 3D, not many people have experience of working with the 3D output using the familiar tools. Even a Adobe Customer Service Agent blanked me when I asked for help this week, as they just didn't know where to find the answer.

Are you saying this footage is shot both 3D AND 360? What camera does that?

Hi Dave, I am working with Humaneyes' new Vuze Camera - basically, four pairs of lenses (left eye/right eye), around a small flying saucer, and delivering 4K 3D 360 video

Theo,

I don't have an answer for you but I've just started playing with my Vuze camera this weekend. I've been trying to edit the footage in Premiere without much luck. To be fair, I haven't really explored too much; I'm still trying to figure out how to shoot well!

Have you thought about using Grass Valley's Edius? I know it has extensive 3D capabilities (not sure how it handles 360 though)
