This page provides information on setting up stereoscopic sequences in Pdplayer.

Pdplayer has built-in support for playback of stereoscopic sequences. Currently there are four different methods for stereoscopy supported – Red/Cyan Anaglyph, Green/Magenta Anaglyph, Interlaced and Checkerboard. All can be used directly without having to apply any color corrections or masks.
There are two ways to set up stereoscopic sequences:
Using Pdplayer you can very quickly set-up a stereoscopic composition. You can use either two separate sequences – one for each view or you can load an SXR sequence. The SXR sequence is an Open EXR sequence that holds both the left and the right views as separate layers within the same file.
To automatically set-up the stereoscopic composition, just check the Add other stereo view check box in the Add Layer dialog:

If you are adding the sequences in Pdplayer without using the Add Layer dialog, you can use the Add Other Stereo View command from the Layer menu to automatically set up the composition. The same command can be found in the layer context menu by right clicking on a layer in the Layer Stack. This command will perform the same operations as the Add other stereo view check box and works with both SXR and non SXR sequences.
Once the composition has been set you can use the stereoscopic view button (next to the channel view buttons) to cycle between left, right and stereo views.
To manually set up a stereoscopic composition you need to do perform the following steps:
