It occurred to me that we never started a dedicated thread for this robust product.
While I have never figured out how to efficiently use this for repairing the shaky 3D video, it does work well for stabilizing 3D that is separated into left and right files, repair them each using the same settings and then pair them back into a 3D file again.
Using Mercalli for my Nabi twin cameras was fairly quick since I'm shooting twin cameras so I have a left eye and right eye file set for starters. However, what about video from my 3D camcorders?
The first step would be to separate the video clips into left and right eye files then port them into Mercalli and stabilize the clips.
So what are you all using to render a single m2ts 3D file from your camcorder to a twin pair for Mercalli?
Currently I use Vegas and have to do two renderings to an MP4 2D file. This can become very time consuming. Does anyone know of a tool that will separate the m2ts 3D clip into the left and right without rendering? I currently have a project with 80 small clips and just the handling of these in Vegas is quite a time consumer. I could handle each separately rendering twice, but a faster way is to put all the files on the timeline and then render to one big file for each left and right. Then stabilize the two in Mercalli, finally pair them back together in Vegas Pro and then split the big clip back into the individual scenes.
I understand that Edius and other editing software has an image stabilizer that works with 3D, but I have Vegas Pro and it's stabilizer stuff built in is nowhere near the quality of Mercalli. especially with CMOS wobble corrections.
Wolfgang- do you know if Vegas Pro can batch render multiple timeline selections to produce a number of files unattended? That might be one solution to streamlining the process.
