Cross-Eye 3D Video Created with 2 Cams

I wanted to create a 3D video using two 2D videos.

I used Fujifilm's compact digital camera, F550EXR, and Sony's handy video camera, HDR-CX370. The right-eye image was recorded with Fujifilm, and the left-eye image was recorded with Sony. The resolutions of the original two videos are both 1920 x 1080.

Since the Fujifilm's camera had limited choices of the settings (pretty much only the resolutions were adjustable), I recored with automatic setting. White balance, exposure, brightness, ALL was auto. The weak point of this camera is it often gets out of focus in video mode. It happened often in the video, too.

I set the white balance manually for the Sony's. Also manually set the brightness. Focus was auto.

I used After Effects CS5 and Premiere CS5.
Since I wanted to make a 3D video in a regular video format, I chose to adopt cross-eyed method. So, I transformed the width and height of both videos half (thus they were 960 x 540 pix each and in full screen, 1920 x 540 pix) and set the right-eye cam (Fujifilm) to the left and so forth. I added black background so it should be easier to watch the video and to make the video's pixels 1920 x 1080 in total.

Also, I adjusted the color balance, brightness, contrast of the Fujifilm's video since it was recorded in bad condition and didn't match with the other footage with its original image (especially at the end in the living room. Image was too dark and too high contrast). However, I did not pay too much attention to correcting and matching the color and such of the two images because this was only a test, and there was not much I could do, since the video recorded with Fujifilm's was really bad. The right-eye image (recorded with Fujifilm's) is most of the time out of focus and have bad image with bad color and contrast, but it should look fine when combined with the other one. They balance up well. So, just suppose on of your eye has bad sight, but your other eye can cover it. lol

I wanted to make this video 3D to be able to watched on any device, so I exported the video as a regular video but in 3D. One bad thing is that you can't choose any other methods but only cross-eye. If you want to try other methods, try the one in the link above.

Anyways, now it's REAL 3D! I hope I can get two same cameras or real 3D camera when I get enough money. For now, THIS IS JUST ENOUGH! :D

A little piece of advice: try using the same camera brand and model. With two different camera brands you will get differences in the two images. Different colors, blurs, shadows, you know. Little details that make me lose focus while watching because they break my concentration.

It takes a while til my eye crossed. Good video. The right and left combined so I can read "REFT" and "RI(+E)GHT"

OK but cameras too far apart giving unnatural exaggeration of depth. Human eyes are 60mm apart, that would work for in-house filming.

Thats probably the best 3D video I ever watched outside of a 3D-specialized cinema

[SirPhartsUhlot]

So nice to see a 3D clip that actually has enough parallax to give good depth. I gave up on 3D at the movies. Sux.

best cross-eyed 3D video I've seen, works perfectly for me, hope you'll make more someday :)

Learned cross eye at a lesson once at school. I can still do it now and its super fun.

[arjodas]

Brilliant job. Can actually understand the depth !

[StephanBuchin]

Works very well with that limited setup 🤠
Definitely for cross-eye.

I feel like his fingers would go through the border anytime.

[heatherhansen]

This was amazing, I've seen others but this one is the best!

[jollycoss]

Pretty good, the hands and feet were the things that my eyes kept "un3Ding" when they came close or went far.

[calisti]

This very cool. Thank you for sharing your experiment!

[mhkuntug]

Dude, stop punching my face. Great depth by the way, kinda feels like a fish eye camera but with a great depth.

[donrichards]

Hey Man it looks Great! Good Work!! .

[ramkrishnakhanal]

Cool, I wish to see similar videos from this channel!

[DisgruntledPigumon]

Cool. It seemed a little extreme though. Maybe your camera lenses were more than 2" apart, which is the average distance between human eyes.

HAHA dude thats realy awesome. one of the most great Cross-Eye video. You should make more

[blackmage]

Someone needs to make 3d cross eye asmr lol

[BeatCarrier]

Damn Duolingo notification made the 3d effect go away
