The shutterglasses are used with DLP 3DTV to sync to the 120Hz output. If FCE doesn't have the ability to output a live signal then you can still master a file in 1920x1080 checkerboard and then burn a Blu Ray (adobe encore cs3 or cs4 seems to work well for bluray.) If you are using your graphics card then you may have to go into display settings and check the resolution. (nesting can also be used to do this.) I'm not sure if Final Cut Express can output 1920x1080 to the second monitor (via "Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - RAW" or a capture card.) If it does then connect your DLP and make sure the resolution is set for 1920x1080. Most of the DLP 3D-capable monitors have a native resolution of 1920 x1080 so it is best if you shoot in that mode or uprez your footage to that resolution. For those interested here's the white paper on DLP's 3D mode.
We added checkerboard mode specifically for Mitsubishi's DLP 3D mode. For example, does Final Cut Express have the ability to subclip or does it have the media manager? I'm not sure.
I'll repost what I had emailed you earlier today but I will also describe a very basic process if you are just experimenting with some shots (a workflow with more steps or additional software like neo3d would be required for editing a much larger project.)įirst off let me say that I do not own Final Cut Express so I'm not familiar with what features are missing that I would normally use in Final Cut Pro.
