Troubleshooting
- Q: Can I convert objects other than subtitle into 3D?
- A: Yes, you can. ISP 3D Title can convert objects other than subtitle into 3D with the same operation.
- Q: I applied ISP 3D Title but the object is still 2D.
- A: Please check if parallax is not set to zero. ISP 3D Title does not make it 3D if parallax is set to zero.
- Q: I can't get 3D preview, converted by ISP 3D Preview.
- A: Make sure that aspect ratio of source 3D video (or subsequence) and sequence are the same. Aspect ratio of sequence can be set on its creation. If you would like to modify aspect ratio of source video, select "right click the source video > Modify > Interpret Footage...".
