Patent ID: 8736667

Claim:
A method of cutting between a first image sequence and a second image sequence displayable on a screen which defines a screen plane, wherein the first image sequence includes a stereoscopically viewable object perceivable by a viewer on a first image plane different to the screen plane and the second image sequence including a second object perceivable on a second image plane different to the first image plane, the stereoscopically viewable object comprising a first image at a first screen plane position and a second image at a second screen plane position, the method comprising: identifying the first screen plane position of the first image and the second screen plane position of the second image in the first image sequence, which is a 3D image sequence; inserting into a first post-cut frame of the second image sequence, which is a 2D image sequence, a first copy of the second object substantially at the first screen plane position and inserting a second copy of the second object substantially at the second screen plane position, and inserting the first copy of the second object and the second copy of the second object into a predetermined number of subsequent frames of the second image sequence at positions on the screen which are closer to the screen position required to view the second object at the second image plane, than the first and second screen plane position.
