Stereo3D (Plus/Premium version)

Warning for small children: The eyesight of small children (especially those younger
than six years old) is not fully developed. We recommend referring to a doctor or
optometrist prior to allowing your child to view 3D-videos.

MAGIX Movie Edit Pro Plus and Premium also enables creation and editing of
"genuine" 3D videos and photos. First, let's create an overview of this complex topic
by familiarizing ourselves with the most important principles and the golden rules that
are involved. Next, we'll look at the individual steps of the workflow in more detail.

Note on using 3D content: Some people experience unpleasant symptoms (e. g.
headaches, overexertion, eye strain or nausea) when they are exposed to 3D video.
We recommend taking regular breaks for this reason. In case of problems, the user
should immediately stop use and refer to a doctor or optometrist. Incorrect
production of 3D-content may also produce these symptoms.

3D basics

Human eyes perceive objects from 2 different angles and our brain "calculates"
images from this information. This way we can tell the distance and position of an
object. For this reason, 3D material should be shot according to this principle.

Viewing 3D

A regular screen or TV can show images only in 2 dimensions, and various
technologies have been developed to enable perception of images in 3D. To this day,
all technologies share the following: You need special glasses to deliver different
information to the left and right eyes. We will examine these technologies in detail
later.

The three golden rules
• Stay within limits during recording: To make a 3D recording (view page 175)
with realistic depth information, certain limits must be respected. The most
important rule is not to go below the point of minimum distance. Minimum point
is the point in the picture, where the camera is the closest.
• Frame closest point: In order to place the 3D effect behind the imaginary frame,
both image components must over lay each other exactly at the closest point. At
the same time, the same objects must be visible at the edges of both partial
images, for which, if needed, you can use the Cropping function in the Media
Pool (view page 149).
