Even Half width options gave me same output

@vineethvarma-vegesna

Hi.

Could you put a short video clip onto Google Drive for us to try out? To see if a bug has crept into the program. There are not a lot of people here doing 3D so few if any that bother to help out here would know, including me.

Before you do that though make sure you are using the latest graphics drivers for your GPUs and that you are on the current build of your operating system. If they get out of step with each other it can cause problems.

Also can you put the specification of your computer in your signature please? It could save a lot of further questions.

Ray.

@vineethvarma-vegesna

Thanks I will try it out now.

Ray.

@vineethvarma-vegesna

Hi.

It works just fine.

You just got your settings mixed up a bit.

Create a project with the following settings

Loading the clip onto the timeline and checking the setting the program has chosen you should see it has set it as the following. (use the three bar icon in the monitor view to see that)

Export using the same settings.

The resulting exported video.

Do not worry I used Video Pro X. The settings and results will be the same. I have both programs.

If that doesn't work for you then we will need your computer specs as outlined in this topic.

Ray.

Hi.

I redid the export in MMS to make sure.

[Edit] Actually I have just realised I have no way of checking if this worked correctly or not as I have no way of viewing it properly. 🤞

Ray.

In 2D everything works well for me as well. The issue is with Stereoscopic 3D video

Workflow is like the below:
- Import Video

- From the effects panel add Stereo Properties

- Then the Video looks like this if we choose Anaglyph. We can even choose Standard 2d & edit video

- Export video like below

- Then my output is like below

- It should be like this

Hi

I have removed my previous comment after more testing and getting 'strange results' following further research, ie I read the manual 😕.

From the manual:

Depending on your playback device, you should set double resolution in order to produce full resolution for both the right and the left image.

Not all playback devices are capable of double resolution. If this is the case for your device, 50% pinched images will be displayed. The quality is nevertheless higher than output using the anaglyph technique.

Assuming your output file image in your first post is playback on the computer monitor, what does the exported video look like when played on a 3D (Stereo) capable TV?

John EB

It's playing perfectly on my 3D TV & Oculus VR Headset, but due to pinched video quality is low.

As per the manual can you clearly explain how to get a full resolution?

@vineethvarma-vegesna @johnebaker

Hi John.

I've deleted my last two posts as I was barking completely up the wrong tree.

I have now very carefully and very slowly followed your directions and it I think has worked.

The file to download is now here to test out.

There were a couple of anomalies.

After setting up the project and adding your 32:9 ratio manually and saving, upon reopening it looked like this.

Look at the aspect ratio. I decided to leave it. Set the monitor to to the correct view and got this.

Again I left the view and setting as it is seen above with a seemingly double exposer of the left and right sides.

Then I manually typed in the settings again into the MP4 export option. Again the weird ratio repeated but I left that but increased the bit rates to what you see in the image below as I felt the quality could be improved.

While exporting the export preview looked like this.

But the resulting file looks like this

I think it has exported correctly and it is the one in the current link above to download.

Phew.

Here is the file's MediaInfo

Ray.

I think you have missed the Stereo3D Properties part from the Effect panel.

@vineethvarma-vegesna

Hi

I have placed 2 video exports on Google Drive here for you to test.

I do not have a 3D TV with me, or headset to test with, however playing both videos in PowerDVD and using the cross eyed viewing technique I do get the 3D effect - it was a brilliant idea to use the bubble gun that enhanced the 3D perception👍😂

Both exports were

SBS FW is Full Width option and SBS HW is Half Width.

John EB

My issue is that only both FW & HW looks like HW



My expectation

@vineethvarma-vegesna

Hi.

Sadly no, I don't think that worked correctly on the export. It had to be the same as the project settings as shown in my images above. The export is then exported with no side bars as shown in the thumbnail which I think would be correct.

I could still be wrong as I have no way to verify the viewing experience. This is why I copied copied @johnebaker in to every reply. To get his feedback. I don't think he does any 3D either but has been around a lot longer on the forums than I have.

I think in the time I have been here in around nine years I have only seen about three to four enquiries regarding 3D exports and none of those people have ever given any advice and most used the 2D anaglyph method.

I will try your suggestion though.

Ray.

@vineethvarma-vegesna @johnebaker

Hi.

Trying to use the view in the monitor as you suggested brought up the following error.

Ray.

I'm not aware of that issue, but you have to add Stereo 3D Effect to Side by Side Video Clip to add transitions, tItles etc. And then export it as Side by Side Full Width video

@vineethvarma-vegesna

Hi.

I don't think it will matter for viewing while working on the project but seems to be needed for exporting.

Have you downloaded the file I have posted the link to to try the result?

Ray.

I have seen your video, and it works! But the issue here is that you have to add Stereo 3D Properties from the Effect panel not for only viewing purposes but also for Editing purposes as well. If you didn't add the Stereo 3D Properties Effect you can't make the title text, and transition perfectly. That's the point here. Without Stereo 3D Properties Effect I could export video in full-width.

@vineethvarma-vegesna

. . . But the issue here is that you have to add Stereo 3D Properties from the Effect panel not for only viewing purposes but also for Editing purposes as well. If you didn't add the Stereo 3D Properties Effect you can't make the title text, and transition perfectly. . . . . 

That is correct without the option set, the video object would be treated as a whole and not 'virtually' split into 2 independent halves for editing, also it appears that the flag to indicate to the player the video is 3D stereo is also not put into the video file header.

@CubeAce

Hi Ray

. . . .  don't think he does any 3D either . . . .

Not anymore, I dropped making 3D many years ago.

John EB

@vineethvarma-vegesna @johnebaker

I can only get straight cuts in the video to export correctly. Any attempt to add text or transitions ends in failure.

John can you attempt this? I think it's a bug or a change that has effected the program like the change that happened in Direct X 12.1

This may be a Direct X bug or Magix not implementing changes to the program when Direct X was changed.

I tried the 3D plugin. It did not help.

Things seem to work in the editor but will not export.

Ray.

@CubeAce

Hi Ray

. . . . John can you attempt this?  . . . .

I am, currently on somewhere between 10th and 20th test export, I've lost count 😕.

Transitions - Crossfade, Brush strokes, Fold tiles (impressive) and Shutter work, Fade through (colour) works but is bit 😒. So far the only ones which do not export are the Blurry effect transitions.

Titles - no problems with the none Xara 3D ones - best to keep them to the pure text ones, the Intro, Outro and Captions with graphics sort of work.

To make the standard static or animated ones to be 3D, do not duplicate it, just apply the Stereo 3D effect to the title object, and the move the Stereo depth slider to the right bring the effect forward - when you preview in Anaglyph the red text should got to the right, the cyan to the left, you can also KF the depth effect - see image below.

@johnebaker

Hi John.

I was only talking about exporting projects in the file format mentioned in the topic.

Anaglyph exports are no real bother. I was assuming the setup was for VR goggles or similar.
