Adjusting 3D Convergence

When a 3D clip is selected on the Storyboard, the 3D CONVERGENCE CONTROLS

appear in the right-hand column of GoPro Studio’s EDIT Room. These controls allow you

to change the feeling of depth and distance in your 3D video clips.

Select a 3D clip on the Storyboard and then click on the Disclosure Triangle to the left

of the words “3D CONVERGENCE CONTROLS” to open the 3D CONVERGENCE

CONTROLS panel giving you access to the following settings (if you don’t see the 3D

Convergence controls, you may also need to look in the Global Playback Settings and

change the VIEW to an actual 3D mode, such as ‘side-by-side’ or ‘anaglyph’):

• HORIZONTAL Use the slider or step controls to modify the relative horizontal

positioning between the left and right camera views, influencing how far in or out

of the screen objects appear.

• VERTICAL Use the slider or step controls to modify the relative vertical

positioning between the left and right camera views, correcting any vertical offset

for an easier-to-view 3D image.

• SKEW Use the slider or step controls to modify the relative skew or rotational

values between the left and right camera views, correcting any rotational offset

between the left and right cameras for an easier-to-view 3D image.

• KEYFRAMES For advanced users, the 3D convergence controls can be

keyframed. Use the + button to add a 3D convergence keyframe to the clip. This

locks in the 3D convergence settings for the current frame on the Storyboard.

You can then move the Play-head to another location on the Playback Slider to

add another keyframe where you can have different 3D convergence settings

• SWAP EYES Use this checkbox to swap the left and right camera views in the

selected clip, correcting for instances when the left and right camera files got

switched during recording.

Click on the Disclosure Triangle to close the 3D CONVERGENCE CONTROLS

panel.

TIP: Clicking on the ON/OFF Toggle button (which looks like an eyeball) will toggle the

3D CONVERGENCE CONTROLS adjustments ON or OFF for the selected clip on your

Storyboard. You can use this to quickly switch back and forth between seeing the clips

with the 3D convergence adjustments applied and the original images.
