3D Media
Chapter 6:
CyberLink PowerDirector supports various 3D* video and image formats. You can
use 3D media to create both 3D videos, and standard 2D video productions. All 3D
media in the library is indicated by a 3D icon in the top left of its thumbnail.
Note: click the button to enable 3D mode to view the 3D content during the
editing process. For more information on enabling 3D mode and configuring your
3D display settings, see Previewing in 3D Mode. * Optional feature in CyberLink
PowerDirector. Check the version table on our web site for detailed versioning
information.
You can use and arrange 3D video clips and images in your video productions the
same way you use 2D media. However, note that if you want to create a 3D video
production, any 2D media in your project must be converted to 3D before
production. See PowerTools: 2D to 3D for more information.
Setting 3D Source Format
When 3D media is imported into the media library, you may need to set the format
of the 3D source video. This is because 3D media comes in a variety of different
video source formats. CyberLink PowerDirector needs to know the source format of
each 3D media file so that it can display it properly in 3D.
Note: if you want to use 3D video clips and images in a 2D video production, you
still need to set the correct 3D source format to ensure the media displays
properly in 2D. CyberLink PowerDirector will incorporate the specified eye frames
into your 2D video.
To set the 3D source format of your 3D media, do this:
1. Right-click on a 3D media file in the media library and then select Set 3D
Source Format. If the media file is on the timeline, right-click on it, select Set
Clip Attributes, and then Set 3D Source Format. The Set 3D Source Format
window displays.
2. Select the 3D source format by selecting one of the following:
Auto Detect 3D Source Format: if you are not sure what the source format
is of your 3D video, click this button to have CyberLink PowerDirector
automatically detect and set it for you.
