3D SBS Converter Script for After Effects
This script automates the process of converting 2D flat images or videos into stereoscopic 3D side-by-side (SBS) format within Adobe After Effects. It uses advanced depth layering techniques to simulate a 3D effect, making flat visuals appear more immersive.
The script performs the following steps:
- Layer Duplication: Duplicates the original 2D layer to create two distinct left and right eye perspectives.
- Depth Mapping: Applies custom depth shifts to each layer, simulating a 3D effect by slightly offsetting each image or video layer to mimic binocular vision.
- Positioning: Offsets the left and right layers horizontally to create the side-by-side format.
- Final Composition: Combines both layers into a new composition that is ready for stereoscopic 3D viewing.
The result is a stereoscopic side-by-side composition, which can be used for 3D playback on compatible devices or further adjustments in your workflow.
