Stereo 3D Data in EDL Conform

Many S3D production pipelines have a need to exchange S3D metadata, like convergence and Floating Window data. We provide the ability to insert such data in CMX EDL. The S3D data includes:

• * SDL_FWL: Floating Window Left
• * SDL_FWL: Floating Window Left
• * SDL_HIT: Convergence

Here are some examples:

• EDL comment without animation:

  * SDL_FWL: (126,0)

  Explanation: The Floating Window Left value is set to 126 at frame 0.

  * SDL_FWR: (119,0)

  Explanation: The Floating Window Right value is set to 119 at frame 0.

  * SDL_HIT: (7,0)

  Explanation: The Convergence value is set to 7 at frame 0.

• EDL comment with animation:

  * SDL_FWL: (126,0)(146,19)

  Explanation: The Floating Window Left value is set to 126 at keyframe 0 and to 146 at keyframe 19.

  * SDL_FWR: (119,0)(162,19)

  Explanation: The Floating Window Right value is set to 119 at keyframe 0 and to 162 at keyframe 19.

  * SDL_HIT: (7,0)(31,13)(0,21)(35,29)

  Explanation: The Convergence value is set to 7 at frame 0, to 31 at keyframe 13, to 0 at keyframe 21, and to 35 at keyframe 29.

  Note:This data can also be natively imported to Smoke or Flame and can be imported to Luster in a Wiretap Interoperability Workflow.

• S3D data can be exported to EDL, by enabling the Use SDL button, in the Editing / Browse menu.
