Stereo Tracks
 
 
 

Editorial and effects work on a stereo track is automatically synchronized between the left eye and the right eye layers. Any changes applied to one layer of a stereo track are automatically applied to the other layer.

You can remove this stereo sync between layers if you are changing the media of a clip. However, the metadata must always be identical between the left eye and right eye layers. The layers must share the same resolution, bit depth, and framerate. As well, they must be of the same duration and have the same number of edits (for example, transitions and cuts) in the same places. This means that editing operations such as trimming and sliding can only be done on both layers simultaneously.

The following interface components are specific to stereo tracks.

(a) Stereo Sync icon (b) Stereo track identifiers (c) Layer names 

Stereo Sync icon
Changes applied to one layer of a stereo track are automatically applied to the other layer. The stereo sync is enabled by default.
Stereo track identifiers
Stereo tracks have “L” and “R” as part of their identifiers to indicate the left and right eye layers. The left eye layer is always the topmost layer.
Layer names
The left and right eye layers of a stereo track are named automatically. By default, the top layer is the left layer and the bottom layer is the right layer. You rename the layers in the same way as video layers. See Naming Layers.
