3 Click the Browse button corresponding to “Choose left eye folder” and then use the
hierarchical list of bins that appears to choose the bin you named “Left.” Follow the
same procedure to choose the right-eye media.
4 Click the Browse button corresponding to “Output folder” and then use the hierarchical
list of bins that appears to choose the bin you named “Stereo Clips.”
5 Choose which matching criteria to use. Ideally, you only need to use whichever one of
the three criteria that apply. The three options are:
–
Match Reel Name: If the reel names of the left- and right-eye media match, turn this
checkbox on.
–
Match File Name checkbox: If the file names of the left- and right-eye media match,
turn this checkbox on.
–
Left Identifiers and Right Identifiers fields: If the left- and right-eye clips are
identified by a special subset of characters within the file name (for example, “3D_R”
and “3D_L”), then you can type each into the appropriate field, and these characters
will be used to match the left and right eyes together.
6 Click Sync.
The original clips in the Left and Right bins disappear, and a full set of Stereo 3D clips appear in
the output bin you selected in step four.

Step 3—(Optional) Create Optimized Media
If your stereo media is excessively large, you can create optimized media.
1 Select the stereo clips you’ve created.
2 Right-click one of the selected clips, and choose Generate Optimized Media from the

optimized media.

commands in the Media Pool.
Converting Stereo Clips Back to Mono
