Re: Stereo rig and base distance

All these years and I never thought of doing that. so I though I would give this a try. I hand held my to identical cameras together ( I don't have a suitable rig/bracket to hold the two cameras bottom to bottom - but I could make one if I wanted ). I wanted to see if this system would work in movie mode. I know the cameras will do movie ok when cameras are turned on their side but I wanted to know if I could edit the left and right footage in my video editor and produce a moving  anaglyph or side by side stereo output.

I managed to do this. It involved a lot of stages, but was possible. I have not cropped the left or right footage ( except for making the alignment right ). On the side by side output I have a vertical black bar in the middle ( 19% of the total width ) and some vertical black bars at the edges.
