The Views tab lets you set up as many views as you like. The button at the bottom is a
quick way to set up two views called Left and Right for a stereo workflow ( FIGURE 8.6 ).
Figure 8.6. The Set Up Views For Stereo button creates Left and Right views.
Throughout this chapter you will use various controls in the Project Settings panel, so get
used to pressing the S key to open and close it.

2. Navigate inside BulletBG to the full directory. There are two image sequences

are a stereo pair of sequences. One represents what the left eye will see and the
other what the right eye will see.
3. Bring in both sequences.

sequence.

to switch between the two views.
You should see a woman holding a gun in front of her ( FIGURE 8.7 ) . Switching
between the two inputs is like shutting one eye and then the other eye—one is
supposed to look like it was shot from the direction of the left eye and the other
like it was shot from the direction of the right eye.
