What about a Premiere Pro workflow without the incredibly expensive Cineform plugin??? Are there cheaper or proxy methods available?

[dhelmly]

Alan,

For consumer projects, even the basic NeoHD (Which includes most of Neo3D) for 499.00 is expensive, but for people needing to create 3D content for work, it's basically the going price of any high end plug-in .

[dhelmly]

@AlanContino remember the 499.00 Price for NeoHD is from Cineform not Adobe. You can use a simple side by side workflow by using Video 1 and Video 2 tracks and scale the video in the Effects >Motion(swoosh it - turn off uniform Scale and use the Width setting - then use position to move to left or right eye. This works fine cameras where everything like sync matches. Cineform give more tools. Here's the link to their product page that shows NeoHD at 499.00 cineform.com/products.php

Hello Dave,

how about the distance between the 2 D-SLR camera's like Canon 5D or Panasonic GH1. It is more or less 15 cm and it shout be about 65 mm. Does the software corrects this 'problem" and what are the results and restictions. Thanks !! toon

@MrToondeWit

When using a pair DSLR cameras you need adjust them in First Light.

@AlanContino Cineform just dropped their prices. NeoHD is now $299, and Neo3D is $999.

[AlanContino]

@dhelmly - it's still boggles my mind that NeoHD can sell for 499 when the same things can be done for free. Stereo 3D workflows have been around since mid 90s w/ shareware & freeware. It is so easy I would have thought most professional apps would have the controls already built into their standard products without the need for plugins

[AlanContino]

@dhelmly - If the edits are done with 1 side (the other via proxy) then rendered in Free Stereo 3D software the same results are achieved without spending any money on a plug-in. With a very good FREE workflow, why would the going rates be so high? I saw no price listing from Cineform for 499 - there is only a listing for 3599.00.

I just wonder how it works with this set up:/ anyone have any clues?

Panasonic HDC-SDT750K and 27 Acer HN274H

looks like the cheapest way to go
