Create 3D projects as easily as 2D
Video editors can now create stereoscopic 3D projects utilizing the same workflow we've provided for 2D media! Vegas Pro 11 provides the ability to import, adjust, edit, preview, and output stereoscopic 3D media — all using industry-standard professional delivery formats including single or dual files with side-by-side, top/bottom, or line-alternate encoding. Anaglyphic monitoring and output are also supported.
Powerful monitoring solutions
It is critical to be able to monitor in 3D when applying edits to 3D video. The Video Preview window provides an extensive selection of viewing options including channel specific, top/bottom, side by side, a blend of both (useful for some 3D adjustments), or anaglyphic display. Professional editors can use an SDI or HDMI connection with a line-alternate 3D display to deliver a high-end preview experience.
Flexible input and output formats
Vegas Pro 11 software provides support for industry-leading stereoscopic 3D formats
Input: Separate Left and Right, Top/Bottom (half), Top/Bottom (full), Side by side (half), Side by side(full), and Line Alternate.
Output: Separate Left and Right, Top/Bottom (half), Top/Bottom (full), Side by side (half), Side by side(full), Line Alternate, Anaglyphic, Checkerboard, Blend, and Difference.
New! Stereoscopic 3D enhancements
Utilize the new stereoscopic editing tools to easily correct stereoscopic 3D screen edge violations. You can also shift the horizontal offset in select 2D effects and transitions, which allow the perceived depth of the effect to be adjusted.
Auto correct footage
Automatically correct 3D video by quickly applying calculated 3D adjustments. This salvages minor camera setup discrepancies and ensures that the 3D footage is correctly aligned.
New! NVIDIA® 3D Vision support
Vegas Pro 11 supports NVIDIA 3D Vision for single-display 3D devices, including the VAIO F-series 3D laptop.

CineForm Neo3D
Vegas Pro 11 provides integrated support for CineForm Neo3D files. After the CineForm Neo3D product is installed, Vegas Pro can read and write files including smart rendering for I-frame AVI only CineForm content.
True stereoscopic 3D camera for 3D track motion compositing
Create 3D motion effects with precise control over Zdepth, plane intersection, compositing, and more. The Vegas Pro 11 track-grouping model allows multiple tracks to move and rotate in 3D space. 3D motion occurs in real time and is instantly able to be previewed.
Integrated 3D adjustments
Improve your 3D project by utilizing the integrated tools for basic 3D adjustments. Typical corrections include horizontal and vertical offsets, zoom discrepancies, keystone, and rotation. Tools to flip video horizontally and vertically and to automatically crop images help to ensure professional 3D results.
Add depth to 2D elements
2D elements — such as backgrounds, titles, graphic elements, or keyed video — may be intermixed with 3D content using the traditional Vegas Pro track compositing methods. Using the same horizontal disparity offset adjustment tools used for 3D media, these elements may be given depth in the 3D output. Because they are not stereoscopic, they will be flat, but can be placed in front of or behind screen depth.
