What It Does
This plugin analyzes side-by-side stereo video footage and generates disparity maps that represent depth information. It outputs paired left and right depth maps for each frame, showing how objects shift between the two views. These maps serve as the foundation for stereo processing tasks like parallax adjustment, stereo-to-multiview conversion, and 3D video manipulation.
Key Features
Automatic depth estimation. The plugin calculates disparity maps without requiring manual input. Feed it side-by-side stereo footage and it produces depth data automatically.
Paired output maps. Generates both left and right view depth maps for each frame, giving you complete depth information for stereo workflows.
Integration with stereo tools. The depth maps work with YUVsoft’s Parallax Corrector Lite for adjusting 3D video parallax values relative to source footage.
Who It’s For
This tool was designed for stereoscopic 3D video production in After Effects. It’s useful if you need to extract depth information from stereo footage for post-production adjustments or conversion work.
Important limitations: Windows-only, supports After Effects CS5 through CC, and handles a maximum resolution of 1080p per view. The plugin requires internet connection for installation.
Pricing
This plugin has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase. It was previously sold for $199 as a standalone tool or as part of the $699 Stereo Processing Suite Lite bundle. Trial versions may still be available from YUVsoft’s website.
