Configuring Sequencers for Stereo Rendering with Movie Render Queue.

This guide outlines the steps for properly configuring sequencers to render stereo 3D footage using Movie Render Queue in Unreal Engine.

Step 1: Create the Master Sequencer:

• Create a sequencer that will serve as the Master. This will contain all animation elements for your scene, including any camera animations (transformation, focal length, post-processing, etc.).

Master Sequence

• Once you have your main timeline established, create two additional sequencers: one for the left eye and one for the right eye.

Left and Right Sequencers.

Step 2: Set up Eye-Specific Sequencers:

• In each eye-specific sequencer, add the Stereo Cine Camera Actor and set a keyframe for "Select Active Camera".

• Create a Subsequence Track and add the master sequencer as a subsequence. This links the animation data from the master sequencer to the eye-specific sequencer.

Set the active camera and assign the camera cut.

Step 3: Configure Movie Render Queue:

• Open the Movie Render Queue window and load the LEFT and RIGHT sequencers.

• For both sequencers, disable the default Deferred Rendering and enable Deferred Rendering (Stereo Camera).

• Assign a separate output folder for each camera's render.

• Apply any additional desired configurations, such as console variables, antialiasing, etc.

Additional configurations will depend on your project's specific requirements.

• Optionally, save this configuration as a preset for future renders.

• Finally, click the Render button.

Expected Outcome:

Upon completion, you should have two separate folders containing the left and right eye images of your sequence.
