Compositing and animating stereo 3D content: Adobe After Effects

Adobe After Effects® CS5.5 software is used for a wide range of stereoscopic post-production tasks. After Effects offers an inherently flexible compositing and animation toolset and a 3D compositing space. Multiple cameras are easy to set up, and you can use expressions to link left eye and right eye visuals. Powerful tracking tools, the new Roto Brush (in After Effects), and Content Aware Fill (in Adobe Photoshop® CS5) can be time-savers when converting 2D footage to stereoscopic.
