Stereo - Per Shot Convergence

Since RV doesn't have the ability to do stereo convergence on a per-shot basis (booooo), it looks like we may have to build this functionality to do any meaningful stereo sequence reviews. I can see the basic layout of storing convergence values in a file/DB that RV caches when it loads a new clip, but my question is about a best practice for setting the offset. What is the best event to listen for in order to set this before new source gets rendered (in a sequence playback mode)? Do you foresee any significant performance lags in setting this on the fly?

    Hi Scott,

    Perhaps I am a little confused about what you are shooting for but does the per source offset not work for you? You can get to those settings interactively in RV from the Image -> Stereo menu or programmatically set the properties on the RVSourceStereo node in each source group:

    Please let me know if that will work for you.

    Thanks,
    Jon

    OMG that's awesome. All this time I've just been using the stereo hotkeys mode which default to the global offsets. Apologies for missing this, so happy!

    Is there a way to customize the 'stereo hotkeys mode'?

    Hi Scott,

    The controls for the per source stereo are already in the mode:

    Will those bindings work for you?

    Thanks,
