  VEGAS PRO 10 & 3D Editting

  Posted by John Kendrick on November 9, 2011 at 12:54 pm

  All,

  I am about to venture into the world of 3D editting, more as a hobby than anything else.

  I want to make sure that I do it right and I am keen to get some advice.

  I have a GeForce GTX 260 graphics card (rest of PC available on request), and I am going to purchase a 3D monitor / TV. Have people got their TV / Monitor hooked up to a nVidia graphic card and used it with Vegas Pro 10?

  What are the things to watch out for / to make sure it works “out of the box”.

  Its going to be quite an outlay for me and I want to make sure that I buy the right products / learn from others.

  Hi John, I am also new to 3D editing (and new to Vegas). I have a Sony TD10 and a GoPro rig, although I have only tried cutting the TD10 footage so far.

  Good news is that Vegas has no problem recognizing the native .m2ts footage from the TD10. I don’t yet have a 3D monitor, so I’m cutting in anaglyph (long exposure to which messes with my eyes!). The monitor is my next purchase.

  So far, the only outputs I’ve created have been side-by-side clips for YouTube, which work fine.

  I’m still trying to figure out the easiest way to use the Sony Stereoscopic 3D Adjust filter, to adjust convergence, and mostly to get rid of double images. There is a very simple “Auto Correct” button, but unfortunately, whenever I use it, Vegas crashes! I’ll start a separate thread on that one, but any insight is more than welcome.

  I look forward to hearing about your workflow and problems (I’ve subscribed to this thread). Hopefully, we can help each other ease through some of the frustrating parts. Peace!

  Things have moved on a bit since my last post.
  I have now got a hdr-td10e, pro 11 and a nice lg passive 3d monitor.

  I did purchase the Panasonic sd90 with 3d converter but it wasn’t very good at all.
  Two main issues:
  Light – the low light entering the CMOS sensor was so low. This lead to poor colouring, dark (not good black) images. This coupled with the half resolution image meant it look no better than “just ok”.
  Calibration – the second, and more major issue was the calibration. If you dont get the horizontal alignment etc right before recording you will get poor 3d imaging. Vegas can auto correct it for you (time consuming for EVERY clip), but even when you do that you end up with issue number 1 mentioned above.

  I haven’t had the td10 long, but I can see 3d effect, low light ability and resolution are worth the premium.

  I have also manged to get a copy of HitFilm standard via a Sony upgrade and this will be an interesting challenge to couple the two. Finally I got a green screen from amazon.

  All I need now is for pro 11 to start behaving. You will see in one of my other posts that I have a memory issue with the product.
  Might switch to 10 until the stability resolves.

  I dont know why 3d isn’t more widely used / liked. It adds to the image, not takes away – assuming you dont use it as a gimmick then it adds, literally, a new dimension to four recordings.
