StereoPhoto Maker 3D Software

The best software for 3D photo editing and processing is that created by Matsuji Suto – StereoPhoto Maker – which may be downloaded from his web page: Muttyan’s Home Page English.

This software runs only on Windows PCs. But it is also the most feature complete.  It takes some time to learn to use it but after the initial learning curve, you’ll find the software does everything.

I describe how to use this software in Guide to 3D Photography (see links at upper right). There are also some tutorials available online. Perhaps in the spring time I will create some online tutorials for this too.

Apple receives patent on method of automatically pairing 3D clips shot on 2 cameras

This strongly suggests 3D editing is coming to Final Cut Pro X: Apple’s 3D video editing patent hints at future Final Cut Pro features.

An Apple Final Cut user survey done a year ago included several questions about 3D editing, suggesting Apple was watching the 3D space carefully.

The Apple patent appears to cover a method of associating two independent clips shot on two cameras (the left and right cameras). This is an important feature as pairing of stereoscopic clips shot on two cameras is presently done manually and is time consuming.
