Choosing the Right 3D Experience — Cinema, Comfort, or Aggressive
Every conversion lets you choose a 3D Experience preset that controls how strong the 3D effect is. The right choice depends on the type of content and how long you plan to watch.
Cinema (subtle depth)
Light 3D effect designed for extended viewing. Closest to the depth you would experience in a movie theatre. Great for feature-length content, narrative video, slow-paced scenes, or anyone sensitive to motion sickness.
Comfort (recommended, balanced)
A balanced preset that gives clearly perceptible depth without strain. Suitable for most users and most content. This is the default — when in doubt, use Comfort.
Aggressive (maximum pop-out)
Maximum depth and pop-out effect. Best for short clips (under 5 minutes), demos, music videos, action sequences, or anywhere you want the strongest immersion. Not recommended for long-form viewing as the high parallax can cause eye fatigue over time.
Which preset for which content?
- Vlogs / talking head — Comfort
- Landscape / drone footage — Aggressive or Comfort
- Concerts / live events — Comfort or Cinema
- Movies / documentaries — Cinema or Comfort
- Music videos / trailers — Aggressive
- Sports highlights — Aggressive
- Anything with rapid camera motion — Comfort or Cinema (Aggressive can amplify motion)
A tip: if you are not sure, convert a short test clip first. The preset only affects the warp stage — the underlying depth estimation is the same — so you can quickly compare which one feels best on your headset.
