2D to 3D Stereo Conversion


For those interested in 2d to 3d Stereo Conversion, AETUTS has a very useful tutorial on their site which explains the entire process using Mocha , After Effects and Freeform Pro.

Here is the link to the tutorial Click Here

The FreeForm Pro plugin is much faster in performance than the one that ships with After Effects and it renders at 20x the speed too.

I have been using the demo version for presentations at roadshows and I have experienced the remarkable difference in performance.

You can find more information on FreeForm here Click here
