NewEye
Synthesize a new stereo eye view
Reprojects stereo imagery to synthesize a new left or right eye position using depth/disparity information and configurable warp direction.
NewEye
DaVinci Resolve · Fusion
NewEye is a stereo and depth utility for rebuilding one or both views from a different virtual eye position. It is used for parallax adjustment, stereo-baseline changes and depth-aware view synthesis.
Overview
What NewEye does
Left and Right sections control each eye independently, including interpolation, depth ordering, edge clamping and source-frame warp direction.
Forward and backward warp choices determine how pixels are projected when generating the new view. Different footage and disparity quality can favor different directions.
Refine Edges helps reduce disocclusion and boundary artifacts, while Stack Mode can package the resulting eyes horizontally, vertically or as layers for downstream stereo processing.
Mental model
Think of NewEye as moving a virtual stereo camera sideways and reconstructing what that new eye should see from the original views plus depth information.
Common uses
Adjust stereo parallax
Change virtual eye separation
Rebuild a problematic eye from depth data
Prepare alternate stereo layouts
Generate a shifted viewpoint for depth workflows

Refine Edges — Enable
Improves difficult depth boundaries after reprojection.
Stack Mode — None
Leaves the left and right eye results unstacked.
Stack Mode — Horiz

Stack Mode — Vert
Packs the left and right eyes in a vertical over-under stereo layout.
Stack Mode — Layers

Practical setup
A reliable workflow
- 1
Verify left/right eye order and disparity direction first.
- 2
Enable only the eye or eyes that need reconstruction.
- 3
Choose a warp direction and inspect depth boundaries.
- 4
Tune interpolation and depth ordering.
- 5
Enable edge refinement if disocclusion artifacts remain.
- 6
Select the required stack mode for the next stage.

Troubleshooting
Common mistakes
Using disparity with the wrong sign or eye order
Ignoring holes revealed by large viewpoint changes
Expecting poor depth data to survive aggressive reprojection cleanly
Production notes
Practical tips
Keep viewpoint changes modest when depth edges are uncertain.
Validate eye order with a known stereo test before creative adjustment.
Use Refine Edges after the geometry is correct, not as a substitute for correct disparity.
