Consistently fast camera movement, e. g. along a street: Only a single
conventional camera is required in this case, but the range of applications is
very limited. This is the most cost-effective method for creating 3D videos.
Material is filmed at a speed of circa 6-to 15 km/h. During editing, the edited
video object is duplicated and one of the videos is played back with a time
lapse. The movement direction determines which is the right and left image.
3D photos may also be created using this method.
Warning, minimum distance!
The position of the object closest to the lens is designated as the minimum
point. This minimum point may not exceed a specific minimum point; this is
easy to calculate via the following formula:
Note: Lens focal point (e. g. 25 mm) x stereo base width (e. g. 65 mm) x 1.5*
/1 mm= minimum point (2437.5 mm ~ 2.44 m)
*1.5 is a factor derived from the cut-off appearing when filming through a lens.
**1 mm is the so-called "deviation" or "spatial dimension". This only involves a
rough value in this case.
Examples for 3D cameras:
Panasonic HDC-SDT750 ( base width 12 mm): minimum point is approx. 1.5
m.
Fuji REAL 3D W3 (base width 75 mm): minimum point at approx. 3 m; for long-
distance recordings as much as 8 m.
This so-called minimum point has an important role in other aspects of 3D
editing.
Prepare 3D editing
3D videos are filmed and saved by different cameras, which means: depending
on the camera model or recording method, the videos or images vary.
In one file
Many cameras, especially for photo recordings, create one single file
containing the left and the right image next to one another.
Drag these files from the Media Pool directly into your arrangement.
Select the created objects.
Select the "Side-by-Side (left images left/right)" entry in the Media Pool under
"Effects > Stereo3D > Properties > Create stereo".
