Pairing two media files as a stereoscopic 3D subclip
If you have two files that have synchronized timecode — such as video shot on a 3D camera that creates
separate left- and right-eye clips — you don't need to align the audio and video. Just select the clips in the
Project Media window and choose Pair as Stereoscopic 3D Subclip from the shortcut menu.
If you view the clip properties for the new subclip, you'll see that the Stereoscopic 3D Mode is set to Pair
with next stream.
For more information, see "Stereoscopic 3D editing" on page 201.
