Displaying Views in the Timeline

You can only display the views that exist in your Project Settings. To see a list of these views, or to add or delete views, select Project > Edit Settings and go to the Views tab. For more information, see Creating Views in a Project.

Adding a multi-view clip to the timeline groups all views into a single track. All the views in the clip are assigned a Viewer button. Click the assigned view icon to display the views available in the shot. All Views are visible by default.

Selecting a particular view for a track in the timeline, such as left, means that only the left view is visible in the Viewer for that track.

Note:  You can also import single-view files manually and then assign them views in the timeline individually, providing that the views exist in the Project Settings.

Splitting Views to Separate Tracks

Working with all views in a single track is not always convenient, such as when you need to apply different color corrections to stereo cameras. Hiero includes a Split Views to Tracks option that quickly separates views into individual tracks. You can use Split Views to Tracks with grouped single- and multi-view shots.

1.

Right-click a multi-view shot on the timeline and select Editorial > Split Views to Tracks.

A separate track is created for each view in the group or file.

The new track names are suffixed with the view name, for example Video1_left, and the views are assigned appropriately.

Note:  If a view exists in the Project Settings, but there's no corresponding view in the source files, empty placeholder tracks are added.

2.

You can change the view assigned to a track by clicking the icon and selecting from the list of available views.

See Applying Changes to Selected Views for information on adding soft effects to different views.
