How do you adjust the convergence of a keyed title?
My goal is to have the Resolve key a sub-title over a background using a fill/matte, then be able to adjust the convergence of the sub-title separate from the background. I have L1 – images, L2 – Fills and L3 – Mattes. Obviously, this is a stereoscopic session.
Plan A: Conform L1 to V1. Add L2 to the media pool using L3 as the matte. Conform and drop this over L1 as V2 (track 2). For each title, add external matte and patch the 2nd output to the alpha output. This works for keying the titles over the background. Unfortunately, you can NOT adjust the convergence of the EXT MATTE. Meaning, you can NOT adjust the convergence of the sub-titles (doing so moves both eyes left and right together).
Plan B: Conform L1 to V1. Conform L3 and add to the timeline as V2. Select the sub-titles on V2 and change the compositing mode to ADDITIVE. This only works for white on black titles. However, you CAN adjust the convergence of the V2 elements (the titles).
Is there a way to properly key a fill/matte element and still be able to adjust the convergence?

I think you need to use a compositor to properly set the convergance before heading into davinci. Convergance in Resolve seems to function globaly as you’ve discovered. This could definitely de done in something as easy as after effects or even better in nuke.
Good luck.

Just to add. If you need to have your bg in order to composite the title position, do you stereo color on the bg in resolve, fix all of your alignment and convergence for the bg, then render that out and bring it into your compositor where you can adjust convergance in the fg and either render out a final comp, or a new matte/fill with proper convergance to composite in davinci,
