SynthEyes uses a control on the shot parameters panel to identify shots that need stereo processing. Open the left shot, and on the shot settings panel, click Stereo off until it says Left. After you adjust any other parameters and click OK, SynthEyes will immediately prompt you to open the right shot. Any settings, including image preprocessor settings, will be copied over to the right shot to save time.
If you do not configure the stereo setting when you initially open the shot, you can do so later using the shot settings dialog. You can turn it on or off as your needs
warrant. To get stereo processing, you must open the left shot first and the right shot second, and set the first shot to left and the second to right. Both shots must have the same shot-start and -end frame values.
Stereo rigs that include mirrors will produce reversed images. If the camera was mechanically calibrated, use the Mirror Left/Right or Mirror Top/Bottom checkboxes on the Rez tab of the image preprocessor to remove the mirroring. (If the cameras are electronically calibrated using the image preprocessor, you should remove mirroring then as described above.)
Once the shot is open, you can select a regular or stereo-friendly viewport configuration in which to work, depending on what you are doing at the moment. For supervised tracking, a stereo layout with two camera views is highly recommended.
Note that you can use the Stereo view in the Perspective view to show both images simultaneously as an anaglyph, see View/Stereo Display and View/Perspective View Settings. You can select left-over-right mode here, but it is intended for preview- movie output, not for interactive use. Use multiple perspective or camera views to display both views simultaneously for interactive use.
