How to Create 3D Video - Sony Vegas Tutorial

[@richw4]

awesome my friend and so entertainingly presented! gotta give this a go...thanks for making and sharing :)

[@TrainsInRomania]

AWESOME! Thank you! You are funny, too, and that convince me to stay on your tutorial untill the end! Thank you again!

[@ratuse]

@Techolyptic I do. But you need them at first to line up the two tracks.

[@SunchippStudio]

thanks, your better than that other video. I got the Attack of the movies 3d glasses and they seem to work pritty good. now, isn't their away so the video won't be blue, if not, I'm good with that, the bad thing is that I on'y have one camra and 2 snapshot camras, will the snapshot camras work.

[@ratuse]

@atomictrain513 Ah, those are polarized 3D glasses, and the tech hasn't exactly been made available to the public. It has to do with certain beams of light passing through one way while the others pass perpendicular to them. I'm not sure what you mean by making an object bulge, but if you're talking about making an object swell out of the screen, for this style of 3D to work, they have to physically press out toward the cameras.

[@fatsheamus]

@FloorZeroStudios The way we view the contents of a game is through the eyes of a "virtual camera" for lack of a better term. It is programmed to see everything from a certain perspective. So when they make it 3D, they composite two perspectives together, just like sticking two cameras together. There are entire books on the subject. Pick one up.

[@MrHippoda]

Oh man, very useful and very clear tutorial! You're brilliant mate! I am not really after doing 3D videos but if I want to, I'll take your tutorial here to do it! Cheers mate, great stuff

[@MagerrHDK]

this doesn't work with polarize glasses?

[@fatsheamus]

Try switching which eyes the blue and red are covering. You are using red/blue glasses right?

[@andrewecko]

Great tutorial. Although I don't have 2 cameras atm, I'm definitely gonna put this to use :D

[@atomictrain513]

How would you create a 3D effect that corresponds to that of the current 3D glasses being used in the cinema? Also, how would you manage to make an object bulge, somewhat?

[@ratuse]

Heheh. Thanks. The blue is pretty extreme in mine because the sunlight coming in was filtered by a blue curtain which was only enhanced by the effect. Another method is to do the purple/green glasses. Then everything ends up slightly purple. lol The two other cameras you mentioned may work, as long as the resolution is exactly the same on them. Try it out and see how it goes.

[@ratuse]

@probillythepet What isn't working? Do you have a demo shot that I can look at? I could probably figure out what needs to be done to fix it.

[@Cromatcg]

@FloorZeroStudios The Nvidia Drivers take the 'Z' Axis data and convert it in depht that is applied to the 2d 'X and Y image the game normally renders, trasforming the image in something that looks like a fabric over a couch instead a flat surface. Some Bluray movies are using the same system to avoid 2 separate videos reducing the drastically the weight of the movies. =)

[@FloorZero]

@ratuse If that is true, then how does the depth in 3D games work? I've experienced it first hand and it looks amazing. There's no way that the game environment has two cameras, it has just slightly displaced images at different transparency and colour by the looks of things. when viewing with Anaglyph 3D glasses on a regular 2D monitor at any rate. I'm not trying to prove you wrong or anything nomatter how it sounds, I really would like an answer because I want to know myself how this works.

[@ratuse]

@Aviation4FSX You can, but there won't be any depth. The reason the 3D works is because of the two slightly different angles that your eyes see every thing. The same angle layered on it's self can't really simulate that.

[@chenelle97]

@ratuse my compositing mode on sony vegas doenst have that long list all it has is 'multiply mask' and 'source alpha' where is it? what am i doing wrong? much appreciatedd :)

[@amovieguy14]

@ratuse How can we make a 3D effect with Vegas Pro HD with no list in the Compositing Mode?

[@whitefalcon74]

is there any way to make a sequential 3D file that will play in 3D blue ray players like the commercial 3D discs? anaglyphic is cool but i would like the more colorful 3D videos for a wedding etc..

[@Techolyptic]

@ratuse Oh, yes ofcourse. I forgot about that factor. I was only thinking you were syncing two separate audio files together XD sorry!

[@ratuse]

@chenelle97 Which version of Vegas are you using? Full name.

[@ratuse]

@chenelle97 Ah, there's the problem. Though it is very similar in nearly every way, the movie studio programs lack certain small features that vegas pro has. The ability to mask sections of an image for instance, completely non existent in movie studio. :/

[@jonah876]

LITTLE RICH!!! I LOVE HIM!!! GO DWIDETS!!!

[@QbnBeast]

I want to create videos in 3D but i record video games on my other channel with a dazzle recorder, can this be done and if so how???

[@TorryGood]

u can do it just with 1 camera to just duplicate the video track so u have 2

[@jensennc94]

So erm... I want to make a summary, that if I want to use this technique, my distance should be fixed. Not too close or too far from camera. Then I can get the best effect? Am I right =) ???

[@ocelotxp]

Now, see, you gotta do the same thing with fisheye lenses :D

[@Boomerang823]

can u give me link to download sony level and other fx ??? tnx

[@whitefalcon74]

recording 3D VIDEO WITH THE FUJI 3d CAMERA OUTPUTS A SINGLE FILE WITH 2 VIDEOS SANDWICHED CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO ACCOMPLISH A BLUE RAY 3d DISC.

[@joshcantdomuch]

can you just duplicate one track?

[@ratuse]

@zackery261 I did the final render in 720 for the youtube version. Posting on this site in 1080 is a bit of a waste of time.

[@1111111112897]

Thank you

[@ratuse]

It wouldn't give you the two different angles you need. Even though the image from both cameras looks the same at a glance, they are actually seeing two different sides of the object. Our eyes do the same thing, and our brains mesh the two images into one.

[@ratuse]

Yes

[@chenelle97]

@ratuse sony vegas movie studio HD platinum :)

[@shwepps212]

i think you messed up the thing in the doorway. that or my glasses out of a magazine are dodgey

[@chenelle97]

@ratuse aaahhhh okay thanks for replying and all the help, at least now i know done something and messed it all up. THANKSSSSS :)

[@SpaceShift]

3:11

[@CobbJJ]

I have coraline

[@ratuse]

No. That requires equipment unavailable to the general public.

[@SunchippStudio]

2:34 is funny for me by the way

[@pbilk]

If you have two camera can't you just do real 3D?

[@Austin-wb4jy]

ok, what i mean to say is, setting the top layer opacity to 50% totally ruins the effect. i hope i made it more clear.

[@ratuse]

Austin1800 not really cause its working just fine here

[@Austin-wb4jy]

the red layer needs to be just as visible as the cyan layer, otherwise it just looks *way* too blue

[@ratuse]

@bullriderfxxx That does not work. It is the perception of 2 different angles that makes our brains see 3 dimensionally. Just placing the same image twice does nothing. The best example I can give you is to place an object close to your face. Close your left eye, then switch to your right eye. You'll note that the view looks different in each eye. THAT is why you need two cameras.

[@Techolyptic]

You could just delete one of the audio tracks :l

[@klastorps]

You only need one camera..

[@fatsheamus]

Show us Ben.

[@ratuse]

@probillythepet Post it

[@ratuse]

But of course. You?

[@Austin-wb4jy]

this is the wrong way to do it, it ends up looking too blue.

[@ratuse]

Austin1800 okay, show us the right way.

[@Austin-wb4jy]

you should have tried keeping both of the video opacities at 100%, and setting the left video to either add, screen, lighten, or difference. i found that to work much better, at least for me.

[@ratuse]

Austin1800 so, more of an alternative. I'll try that at some point.

[@ratuse]

@Мари Капулетти

[@rOy48MtL]

First, you will need 2 cameras....f***k!! I don´t have any cameras ajjajjjaa!!!

[@ratuse]

You need two angles. One camera can not produce 3D images. Need proof? Go to a 3D film and close one eye. There's your one camera 3D.

[@ratuse]

Oh my gawd. I'm going to be facepalming for hours over this. Two images of a flat image will not make it 3D, Mike. It might make the television screen that you're shooting look a little odd, but the images on the screen will not become 3D because they are two views of one flat image. No depth.

[@CobbJJ]

wait wait wait... are you married?

[@ratuse]

You not only need to learn English, but you obviousely weren't paying attention.

[@ratuse]

You're doing it wrong.

[@mariasmnk5498]

this is not 3d video! it's just sucked anaglyph! true stereoscopic video used to be side-by-syde of other format, contained left channel and right channel, but it is never duplicated left to right! sucked lesson!

[@montagepl]

Anaglyph is bullshit not professional 3D - CHANGE YOUR TITLE! ONLY SBS IS REAL 3D!!!

[@ratuse]

Montage.pl Do you have a tutorial?

[@montagepl]

ratuse There already is sbs tutorial for Vegas somewhere on net.

[@ratuse]

Montage.pl Good. Go watch'em. Meanwhile I'm gonna leave this vid, title and all, exactly how it is just to make you happy. :)
