I'm using Movie Studio Platinum to edit full-width side-by-side 3D Video. Editing & everything works fine while editing. But when I try to export video with a full-width side-by-side setting it's rendering as half-width side-by-side. I tried changing aspect ratios, and resolution but nothing worked.
When I first replied to this topic I hadn't realised I had no way of confirming anything I exported as being correct. I can view anaglyph, I have coloured and polarised 3D glasses lying around but no 3D screens of any description.
I can't export anything other than I stated without the export failing.
When you reopen the export dialogue, does the export setting revert to Standard 2D as I am seeing?
If you then use that export setting instead does it still export and work OK?
Can you add the text and transitions as you expected to?
I did not know how this would be viewed and was not expecting projection, so are glasses involved and what type as I could have tested for that?
I see that using @johnebaker 's suggested dimensions has worked but also has applied the same weird ratio applied to the export that I was seeing.
Thanks for the feedback so far.

When i reopen the export dialogue then setting revert to Standard 2D & I added test and transition as well. I'm viewing the content on Oculus VR Headset & Sony 3D TV using glasses
If the glasses are the Sony rechargeable 3D Active Shutter glasses then I can't check for that.
The reason I'm asking about the export box is whenever the export box reverts to another setting, that setting tends to be the one used on the prior export regardless of what was set. As soon as you close that setting it is changed. So the side by side setting is probably not worth setting.
Same behaviour as I observed in VPX 14 and MEP 2022.
Although it works regardless it is impossible to tell what processing is being done beyond it is producing files with side by side images. Yet another one of Magix's mysteries.

I would call it a very deep rabbit hole
The 'mysterious component' of 3D Stereo h.264 video involves SEI (supplemental enhancement information ) which is additional data inserted into the bitstream. SEI has its own 'standard' for the data format and 'message' types/data for the decoder to interpret and act upon.
