Thanks Lee. Turns out it's not really necessary. I can just edit with the 2D image, then do all the stereo work in the color page. Thanks so much for all your help. Enormously helpful. Resolve has really great stereo tools, but the manual is not very good at explaining workflow. So thank you again!!!! John

Hi Lee. Another stereo question. I just managed to hook up an external 3D monitor (Marshall 3D). It will accept a L-R input over a single SDI. When I am on the color page this works, since I can select Side by Side under "out" in the 3D tab. However when I go to the edit page the signal changes to some kind of interlaced format. I cannot find anywhere in preferences where I can change this. Is it possible to set the monitor output to side by side from the edit page, or am I only able to have that in the color page. Thanks in advance for your time! Great class BTW!

Oh. Thank you. I kind of missed that. Really appreciated! John.

Hi Lee, So I came up with a solution that worked. I put the left and right eye together in the same timeline, one above the other, selected them both, then right clicked and made a new fusion clip. That gave me two Media In nodes that did function and then followed your lesson on using Stereo Align. However I now have another question. The end of the lesson does not explain how to render back out of fusion. I assume that fusion cannot create a stereo clip back in the timeline. So I would have to render out each corrected eye from Fusion. But I'm not sure how to do that. I imagine that I would replace the anaglyph node with something else, then hook up to MediaOut. Please advise....

Hmm. OK. I have no trouble bringing in the files into resolve for normal editing. But Fusion is not reading them. I guess I could convert Quicktime to an image sequence if needed and re-import. I was thinking maybe I could have two MediaIn nodes for the source footage instead of two loaders but could not get that to work either. Again, thanks so much for the rapid reply!!

Hi Lee, I've been trying to follow along with your stereo fusion sessions. I'm having trouble importing my own footage instead of the png image sequences you use. I have stereo left and right video in apple pro res QT movies. I created a timeline using my left eye footage. Then open the fusion tab, so I have a Media In node and a Media Out node. Then I create a new loader, select my file, and click "open" but nothing happens. I get a new loader, but it is still just called "loader1". I then tried using the inspector for that loader to select my file by clicking "browse". That opens the same finder window. I select my same file and click "open". Now the loader has the file name on it in white. But when I try to view the contents of the loader by clicking the view dot below, the file name turns red and the viewer is blank. Frustrating. I assumed importing a QT file would be the same process as importing an image sequence but I can't get it to work. Using Studio 17.1 on Mac OS..... Thanks for your time! John.

Another question. I also have footage shot with a 3D Gopro rig. When I synch in Resolve, the eyes are a few frames out of synch. Is there any way to slip or adjust the temporal synch between the two eyes in a stereo clip? Much appreciated....

Thanks for responding so quickly! That's kind of what I was thinking. Synching the clips, trimming to same length and then export both with new, matching timecode, then re-import to Davince. Just a lot of work!

Thanks for a very clear first lesson! Much clearer than the manual documentation. One question: I am working with footage shot on a beam splitter rig. Timecode does not match left and right. However a slate with a synch clap was used and both clips have audio. What would the workflow be to synch these up as a stereo clip? Resolve has many synch options for making Multicam clips like using audio waveform and markers instead of timecode, but the stereo synch does not offer these. What do you suggest? Thanks!!!!
