After Effects and 3D stereoscopic workflow

[Walter Soyka]

I’ve done a couple stereo tests with AE, and I found it really cumbersome because the software itself lacks built-in stereo support. Nuke might be a better option, because stereo support is built-in to the application.

Check out Chris Keller’s awesome stereoscopic scripts for After Effects. I’ve used them a few times. The workflow is still a bit clunky because of AE’s limitations, but these scripts are an incredibly well thought-out workaround for this, and they will save you hours and hours of work.

You might find some more information on the Stereoscopic 3D forum here.

I’ll also point out a couple threads that helped me:
