Here is my rough draft.

CS6 Speedgrade - Stereoscopic 3D pipeline

Ingest camera data

Clone camera data and put into Left/Right folder structure so that

Speedgrade can automatically link L/R, very important step as this

must work for final EDL conform.

Import data into SG to create dailies

Set flips/flops, frame sync, QC S3D, set HIT, primary grade with option

for secondary correction, keyframes etc. or just apply a pre-made

look.

Render out DNxHD 1080p editorial media as side by side and or master

eye, with clips matching source filename (Src.PathElement.0) and

timecode (source).

Import editorial media into Premier Pro

Sync audio and edit.

Limit to cuts and dissolves.

Anything more involved needs to treated as a VFX shot.

Output EDL and guide track from NLE.

Import EDL and guide track into Speedgrade

Select Timeline/Reels view to show Reels/clips used in EDL.

Using SG desktop (media browser) navigate to root folder for the

cloned source footage (containing Left/Right folder structure) view

"Sequences from folder + subtree" then click "Load from Desktop"

Any clips that do not connect can be manually dropped onto the relevant reel.

Also if L/R do not connect then this can be fixed manually in the

Stereo3D/Reel Assignment panel.

Drop in VFX shots, titles (with alpha) as required.

Confirm conformed original media and vfx shots match guide track.

Perform colour and depth grade, pan/scan to 1920x1080 if required etc.

Render out suitable video masters 3D L/R, 3D SbS, 2D as DPX, DNxHD

220, Uncompressed codec etc.

Take video master back to NLE to add multi-track audio and render out

deliverables.

Thanks to Lin & Pat.

I am building an editing computer to do 3d video. I am including NVIDIA Quadro 4000 and Blackmagic DeckLink Extreme 3d. What more do I need?

Pretty sure you need the Quadro SDI output card.

Not used the DeckLink Extreme 3D with Speedgrade so can't comment.

What are you going to use as a 3D display?

Thank you for your reply.

The Decklink is both in and out so I do not think the SDI card will be necessary. If I am wrong I'll add it.

The monitor will be a ViewSonic 24" V3D245.

I am planning an ASUS P9X79 Pro socket 2011 X79 ATX motherboard; Intel I7-3770, Corsair 16g DDR3-1600 ram (x2), with Sandisk SSD (2x480g, 1x240g).

The use will be process 3D and create theatrical 2k trailers and institutionals.

Pretty sure the live GPU accelerated output only comes out of the Quadro, can one of the Speedgrade team confirm please.

Currently SG does not support any 3rd party SDI card other then the nVidia SDI daughterboard (Windows only). Obviously, now SG is part of Adobe, that will change in future versions. Just give it some time.

I am going with the Quatro 4000 along with the DeckLink in/out. As live broadcast/steaming is not planned I feel the configuration will be adequate to my intended use. Ovbiously I might be in error however I don't feel disposed to shell out $3m for a separate SDI card at this point.

Based upon my projected configeration do you have other observations?

Again, the deck link card will not work with SG. It is supported by premiere pro, so via that route you'll be fine. SpeedGrade will only use the outputs of your graphics card.

Thank you. My use of speedgrade is specifically for 3D composing and using it within Pro. I will be upgrading from CS2 to CS6 so I anticipate a learning curve.

Hey Guys,

I'm a complete beginner to SpeedGrade and it's 3D functions. I'm having trouble finding teaching resources for the software. I can't find any documentation at all on the Adobe site.

Where could one find a manual or tutorials for very basic use. Specifically dealing with stereo 3D files (generated with Maya if that matters).

Thanks.

The short answer to your inquiry appears to be: "you can't."

From what I have been able to glean from all of the inquires posted is that Adobe may consider adding 3D support sometime in the distant future.

It appears that Cineform is the way to go if 3D is what you have in mind. May I suggest viewing this and hopefully some of your question may be answered.

Hi Jonathan,

If you (or anyone else who may have some advice) are still writing replys to this thread I have a few questions as someone who hasn't worked much with 3D. My goal is pretty straight forward but I'm really having a hard time finding good resources for editing in 3D. If you could help with some advice it would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to add a (1) a 3D title and (2) a small 3D image to a short video clip that would be played in 2D. So, the only things that would need to be in 3D are the title and a small image that I have drawn and have saved as a TIFF. Both of these would be shown in 3D for a brief time while the movie plays in 2D. If you could point me to an educational resource that would be fantastic. (Note: I am presently using Adobe CS6 Master Suite).

Secondly, this is a little more tricky, I would like project this to a classroom of students (this is all about making learning fun). I am willing to purchase a somewhat cheap 3D projector (say around $2500) and a silver screen. I would like to make the videos so that the students could wear the polarized glasses (as opposed to anagrap). Do you have any experence with 3D projectors and if so, do you have a suggestio on one that might be relatively cheap and work with the editing software (like a home entertainment system).

Many Thanks,

Michael
