  Using Channel>3D Glasses in AE 6.5

  Posted by John Sackey on June 22, 2006 at 4:10 pm

  Hi all

  I am having a bit of trouble getting the desired effect in AE with the 3D Glasses effect. I have some footage of a band and I want to create some shots where the background is seen as normal video but the band appear as B&W anaglyphs. So far I have gone this route:

  1 Create a comp with the Tinderbox two tone newsprint effect applied.

  2 Place comp 1 into a new comp and use masks to separate the band members from the rest of the footage.

  3 I drop the original footage behind the masked layer; Newsprint band members on normal background, so far so good.

  4 When I apply the 3D Glasses effect to the newsprint layer I choose the newsprint comp as the source for each view. I want to use Balanced Coloured Red/Blue as this gives the best result (B&W image with the red/blue offsets). The problemis that all of the balanced options seemto force a black background in the newsprint layer, cutting off the background layer.

  The non balanced r/b r/g options don’t force the black background but cause a tint to the white areas.

  Anyone got any advice?

  Thanks

  John
