Finding a 3D Stereoscopic plugin for after effects

[Todd Kopriva]

Here’s a page full of resources about stereoscopic 3D in After Effects. And here’s a page that has some more, plus information about stereoscopic 3D resources for Premiere Pro.

[Steve Rhoden] “Hello guys, any knowledge if there is a decent 3D Stereoscopic
plugin available for after effects?”

Are you mainly interested in stereoscopic motion graphics, or stereoscopic compositing?

For motion graphics or animation, 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. The scrips are built to help you manage a stereoscopic camera rig in AE and preview your work inside After Effects with anaglyph glasses.

For working with stereoscopic footage in AE, I’ve run across Dashwood Stereo3D Toolbox, but this is a Mac-only solution. For real stereoscopic compositing, I’d think about Nuke instead, which has direct application support for stereoscopy.

Just a heads up, the link to stereo resources you provided no longer links properly, and just forwards you to the cs6 sales page.

Is there a list of stereo resources on the adobe website any more?

[Todd Kopriva]

That’s unfortunate.

Here’s a post on my blog that includes links to stereoscopic resources that I’ve collected:
