Good, then I can retire. :) If they do it right, that is.

Hi again Adam, thanks for your very quick reply.
I would have answered right back, but i prefered to do a serious research about your illness (diabetes)
and i came up with a useful guide to deal with it, with nature products only. The link is below:

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

The guide was in my country language, so i translated the best i could, even technical terms...
however, is more than possible that some translation errors are present, but i guess that you´ll
overcome that by paying close attention to the context...
The original source was not taken from some internet website, it was taken from a trustful
publication, but don´t take just my word for it... confirm these facts with a doctor, if you find necessary...
Health is a very important, even vital subject, so i leave this to your consideration,
only hoping that it can be somewhat useful...

Best regards,

Daniel

No, I have no plans to write Premiere Pro plug-ins. I was actually going to write a 3D editor from scratch last year. I was hoping to have it done by the end of last year, but my diabetes got the best out of me. So, I wrote a Vegas plug-in instead.

The problem is that Vegas (and just about any other editor I am familiar with) is simply not designed with 3D in mind, so it requires a lot of tweaking and juggling around the way it is designed to make 3D imagery. There are things I would like to do with it that I simply could not find a way of doing.

Essentially, the easiest (relatively speaking) way to work around the limitations is to do any compositing first, separately for the left and right views, render each view to a separate file using a non-lossy compression, then open the two files in Vegas and combine them into a 3D stream. I know this requires an extra step (and spare disk space, unfortunately) but, again, Vegas was not designed with 3D in mind.

Sony is talking about adding 3D support in the next version of Vegas. As far as I am concerned, I'll believe it when I see it.

I really wish I could just create a 3D video editor from scratch. It is not that difficult in principle. My main obstacle (beside my poor health) is the plethora of file formats, the most popular of which are not freely documented. For example, the documentation for the MXF format is on a CD from SMPTE and costs $500. That may be pocket change for Sony and Adobe but it is a lot of money for me. And that is just one popular professional file format.

Hello, Alister Chapman,

Many thanks for the valuable info! Looking forward to explore the new possibilities of Vegas 3D!


Best regards,

Daniel

Thanks, Daniel. After 30 years of having diabetes, nature products alone are not going to cut it for me. I started taking insulin a little over a month ago, and am feeling much better now (that is also why I was not here on the forum for quite a while, as I had to take care of my health first). But I did download your file. Thanks.

Adam,
Thanks for your efforts in creating this plugin. I have tried to get it to work with Sony Vegas 10 (not the Pro version) with no success. (Perhaps I am doing something wrong.) Do you know if the plugin will work with this version? I have downloaded the trial version. I do not want to pay for the new version if it does not work with the plugin.

[Adam Stanislav]

I know it works with Vegas Pro (including v10). I do not know about the non-Pro versions of Vegas.

Though Vegas 10 (at least the Pro version) can handle 3D on its own, which makes my plug-in much less important.

When I try to make a side by side 3d video, the same image is displayed in both views.

You have to specify one of them as left, the other as right.
