Overview
Fusion includes 3D stereoscopic and optical flow-based nodes, which can work together or
independently of each other to create, repair, and enhance 3D stereoscopic shots.

Stereoscopic Overview
All stereoscopic features are fully integrated into Fusion’s 3D environment. Stereoscopic images
can be created using a single camera, which supports eye separation and convergence
distance, and a Renderer 3D for the virtual left and right eye. It is also possible to combine two
different cameras for a stereo camera rig.
Stereoscopic nodes can be used to solve 3D stereoscopic shooting issues, like 3D rig
misalignment, image mirror polarization differences, camera timing sync issues, color alignment,
convergence, and eye separation issues. The stereo nodes can also be used for creating
depth maps.
Optical Flow Overview
Optical Flow analyzes the motion in a clip and generates motion vectors between neighboring
frames. It generates X and Y vectors from the previous frame to the current frame (Back
Vectors) and to the next frame in sequence (Forward Vectors). Once calculated, optical flow
data can be used by other nodes to create smooth slow motion and variable retiming of clips,
repair missing frames, and even correct disparity in stereo 3D clips.
NOTE: The stereoscopic nodes in the Fusion page work independently of the
stereoscopic tools in the other DaVinci Resolve pages.
