Working with 3D Video Files
With GoPro Studio, you can convert files recorded using a GoPro 3D HERO System into
3D GoPro CineForm files (also called Stereo GoPro CineForm files). As with converting
2D files, there is some preparation required before importing these files into GoPro
Studio.
About the File Structure
The GoPro 3D HERO System records video files on two separate SD cards—one from
the camera representing the LEFT eye, and one from the camera representing the
RIGHT eye. The files from the LEFT camera are saved in a folder called “100S3D_L”
while the files from the RIGHT camera are saved in a folder called “100M3D_R”. In order
for GoPro Studio to convert the files properly, you’ll need to keep the folders separate,
just like they are on the SD cards.
Importing 3D Video Files
The process for converting time-lapse sequences into GoPro CineForm files is as follows:
1. Copy the “100M3D_R” and the “100S3D_L” folders from the DCIM folder on the
SD card to a location on your computer. It is very important to place both these
folders in the same location. For example, create a new folder on your computer
called “My 3D Project” and then copy both the LEFT and RIGHT eye camera
folders into that same folder. In the “My 3D Project” folder you should see both
“100M3D_R” and 100S3D_L” listed as separate folders.
2. Click the IMPORT NEW FILES button and browse to the “100M3D_R” folder that
contains the files you want to import.
3. Highlight the files you want to import and click Open. If you used the above
method for maintaining the correct file structure, GoPro Studio will automatically
locate the corresponding files from the “100S3D_L” folder and import these files
as 3D.
4. Press ‘Ctrl+S’ on your keyboard to save the project.
