The juicy bit:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which off-the-shelf tools have you used to edit, color correct and composite your films?
We used Premiere for many years, and then Final Cut, but we just recently moved to Sony Vegas. From our experience, Premiere just couldn’t handle a one-hour program in such high-resolution, let alone 3D. I was really surprised with the 64-bit version of Vegas, which we started testing back in June. Even though it’s only in Windows, it has a really elegant interface. But more important, it never crashed when we were working in 4K. This was just stunning to me—it’s the first time in my life that an editing program doesn’t crash, even with heavy, hi-res files. We’re still using After Effects, and I can’t wait, of course, for a 64-bit version of that.
We’ve also ended up creating a set of proprietary plug-ins to edit directly in 3D. We always start editing on the small screen, but we always end up editing on a projection system, because we have to make sure that the resulting 3D shot won’t strain the viewers’ eyes.
Have you tried using any of the more recent 3D codecs, such as Cineform?
Yes, I like working with Cineform very much, especially since we are working in 4K
