2024 Update: 3D upload was broken for a while, but as of today - RU-vid have fixed this. The methods described here should all work again. See here: nimazeighami/stat...
2023 Update: Credit to @chekeichan who found the solution to an issue that stopped this method from working earlier this year. Requoting the solution here. I've tried it and it works:
"I think I stumbled on the solution: after doing what is described in your video and uploading it, you have to use the video editor in RU-vid to do something to your video, like add a soundtrack or even trim a few seconds. When it is done processing, 3D options will be there for your video."
This video is a How to tutorial that shows you how to upload a 3D Side by Side video to RU-vid. There have been various different ways of doing this in the past that no longer work. Here I will show you upload methods that Google describes in their support files that work today.

30:17 Wrap up & Summary
Here are pre-prepared one liner commands that you can use to process your videos. Feel free to copy and paste them from here so that you don't have to type them out from scratch yourself. Ensure for this method that you only have the SBS videos you want to process in the directory where you run the command. Also ensure you select the right aspect ratio for the video, you are uploading. Typical video aspect ratios are for example "4:3", "16:9", "1.3333", and "1.7777".

Thank you so much, AnaVision! This video and the "How to Edit 3D Stereoscopic Video (2022)" have been so helpful to me. In the process of watching both videos, and due to your great explanation on both topics, I learned a lot from this exciting, and kind of forgotten way of presenting our assets. As someone who's interested in visual storytelling, learning this tool - how to create 3D imagery - from the comfort of our homes/studios, is invaluable. It really adds a new storytelling layer and I believe that it can make the difference. Thank you once again!

This guide will be helpful with Sonic Generations my Xbox 360. There is one question you haven't answered that I'm concerned about. Combining clips into one video... Wait, THAT'S IT!!! RU-vid has it's own editor. Simply upload the 3D video in private, trim it down using RU-vid Studio and release the finished video to the public. It's sort of unconventional since I like to have fully finished videos before uploading but this would definitely work. Virtual Dub and Avi Demux won't help me here.

@HeroesReforged Год назад

I'm using the newer version of Handbrake (2022), and I'm wondering if there's a way to setup the encode so it takes the 1920 files and upscale it to 4K SBS to take advantage of RU-vid higher bitrates.

@ANAVision Год назад

You may also want to experiment with Topaz (or similar) if you are upscaling to take advantage of it's AI based image enhancing.

@Meteotrance Год назад

I didn't know that full frame packing works on youtube, i usualy squeeze 3D side by side content with Blender, it works fine but for editing and color grading i use Da Vinci resolve, it's so much easyier to link left and right images with there 3D sync mode, it color grade for your left and right footage simultanously without pain, the only problem is metadata export, the soft is almost free if you have a blackmagic design editing keyboard deck or one of there pocket cine camera, the free version dont have the HDR and 3D feature, but are really usable and powerful.

@wmturner3747 3 года назад

Best video I've found for injecting 3D metadata! Can you tell me which aspect ratio I should use for half sbs 1920x1080 3D video?

@wmturner3747 3 года назад

or do I delete the " -aspect 16:9" part of the script?

@ANAVision 3 года назад

@@wmturner3747 thanks for your feedback. Thanks for pointing this out. You are right, you can just delete the "-aspect 16:9" in the script. So for half-width SBS regardless of method used, you can skip the aspect ratio setting. (Note that even if you don't delete it, and end up using 16:9 for 1920x1080, it should still produce the right output, as that happens to be the required ratio anyway in your case) So for Method 2 it would be: for %f in (*.mp4) do ffmpeg -i "%f" -vcodec libx264 -x264opts frame-packing=3 "%~nf_MetadataInjected.mp4" For Method 3: for %f in (*.mp4) do ffmpeg -i "%f" -c copy -metadata:s:v:0 stereo_mode=1 "%~nf_MetadataInjected.mkv"

Hi, looking for a bit of advice so figured this would be a good place to comment. I’ve recently bought a Fujifilm W3 camera and was wondering the best program(s) to use to edit 3D video, add text, music etc. Any recommendations would be great, thank you.

@ANAVision 2 года назад

One method would be to convert the Fujifilm W3 video to SBS first using ffmpeg (using a command like this: ffmpeg -i DSCF5201.AVI -filter_complex "[0:0][0:2] hstack=inputs=2, scale=iw/2:ih [out]" -aspect 1.7777 -vcodec libx264 -x264opts frame-packing=3 -map [out] -map 0:1 DSCF5201_SBSmetadata_7.mp4). After that you can use Vegas to edit 3D, add text and music. Vegas has an effect called "Stereoscopic 3D Adjust" that recognises SBS videos.

@DarrylLearie 2 года назад

I have succesfully used a paid software called 3D Combine for the Fujifilm W3 format.

@urkoVR 2 месяца назад

May 2024. They've fixed some things and broken others. It is no longer necessary to edit the video with RU-vid Studio so that it correctly reads the frame packing or the stereo mode metadata, but now it does not process 3D videos at 2160p 60fps and it does not understand DAR in the same way for mp4 and mkv. So if you upload a 3840x2160@60fps half side by side mp4 video with frame-packing=3 metadata, it marks it as 3D (at last!) but does not process it at 4k. After waiting 48 hours for it to process the video at 4k it simply interprets it as 1080p, 4k processing disappears. UPDATE1: It may have been a bug for a few days, but now it is fixed and everything works fine, it finishes processing at 4K without any problem. UPDATE 2: Today, 2 days after update1 I have the same problem again with 3D 4K processing. 4K processing without 3D metadata is done without any problems. What a mess!

Will this work on a mac through terminal?

@ANAVision 2 года назад

Absolutely, ffmpeg comes for mac also. But you may need to strip the windows specific command line parts of the script line. For example the command will look something like this for method 2: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -aspect 4:3 -vcodec libx264 -x264opts frame-packing=3 output.mp4. So you will need a line per file and rename input.mp4 and output.mp4 to be your filenames.

There are simple ffmpeg alternative apps (such as Video Transcoder for android) but they don't appear to handle this complexity.

@ANAVision 3 года назад

Yes, I prefer SBS also as that gives you more options. Not sure this came out in my video, but if uploading using the method described in my video, the underlying video remains SBS, even on RU-vid. If for example you were to download the video from RU-vid you would end up simply with an SBS video. The advantage of uploading SBS in the manner described is that RU-vid recognises the video as 3D and therefore it gives you the choose of format to watch: - can watch as 2D - can watch as anaglyph - and can also watch as SBS when viewing with Cardboard for example or other VR devices - other devices can interpret the video to their required format (e.g. Mopic Snap3D)
