Have the same issue. But apparently even if doesn't appear as 3d on youtube on a browser, but it's still appear in 3d on my oculus quest 2. And the "edit trick" seems to do opposite and breaking the 3d on all platform.
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!!! RUclips has it's own editor. Simply upload the 3D video in private, trim it down using RUclips 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.
Thank you! I've been round and round trying to get it to work, and method 3 did the trick. I made a slight modification to your helpful batch file so that I could just drag the video onto the batch and have it process: ffmpeg -i "%~1" -aspect 1.77777 -c copy -metadata:s:v:0 stereo_mode=1 "%~n1_MetadataInjected.mkv"
Excellent explanation. I have been making my own side by side stereo clips for a number of years , but never uploaded them to You Tube due to having to have the knowledge of the various settings. Thankyou.
Thank you for letting me know I can use Hand Brake to inject the Meta Data as FFmpeg is such a headache to use! Not to mention I had to previously buy FFmpeg - ugh.
I was blocked in exactly the second reason (Gamut color shift break your anaglyph). I solved the problem neatly by following the method 3. You are my hero !!! Thank you very much.
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.
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!
Antonio, thank you so much for your feedback. I'm glad you found it useful and re-discovered this forgotten visual storytelling method. Happy creating. I saw you posted a 3D video already on you channel. I gave it a thumbs up :)
May 2024. They've fixed some things and broken others. It is no longer necessary to edit the video with RUclips 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!
Very helpful video...I've been looking all over the get web to find a way to add the required metadato. That said, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. I edited the video in RUclips (trimmed a second or two) as well... still the 3D options are not visible...
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 RUclips higher bitrates.
Sorry. I don't know if my comments are published; I can't see any comments. I get the error: The opening parenthesis '(' is missing after the 'for' keyword. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, correct, VR180 is different to this. As for playing 3D videos with this 3D badge in the RUclips VR app, I've tried this on the Oculus Quest 2 and it works. You can see these videos in stereoscopic 3D. In fact the RUclips VR app only play SBS videos that have the 3D badge. If you want to play other SBS stereoscopic RUclips videos on the Oculus Quest you can still do that but will need to run RUclips in Browser instead of using RUclips VR.
@@ANAVision Yeah I know, you have to inject vr180/360 metadata in the video for youtube to recognize it. But if I understand it correctly, you can't watch normal (boxed) stereoscopic 3d content in the youtube vr app?
@@JVJF7 try playing back this normal (boxed) video ruclips.net/video/LGhaLXyJGd4/видео.html in the RUclips VR App. I've just tried it and it plays back in 3D without the need to do anything.
Preset options have changed in the newer handbrake, instead of Dimentions it has Resolution limit and it doesn't have 'always use source' option instead 1080p HD is already selected, is that going to be fine?
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.
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.
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.
Thanks to an update by RUclips, all methods should work again without workarounds. See: twitter.com/nimazeighami/status/1778546947110191411?s=46. I've updated description with this also.🎉
handbrake got some new setting options in a expanded interface. Did i miss the uodate of this film? So to see a nice software to use . Thanks for the info
@@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"
No, unfortunately not to my knowledge. But would be interested to see if others know of a way to do this. It would require a Handbrake equivalent app for android or iOS that could handle multiple file inputs (2 video files to make the SBS) and have the ability to inject metadata. There are simple ffmpeg alternative apps (such as Video Transcoder for android) but they don't appear to handle this complexity.
Does methode 3 still work? For a few days I have some issues with it. New videos I upload using methode 3 are only played in 3D in the mobile app and the YT VR app for Quest. In the browser it is played in side by side. I tried to upload an old file that I alrady uploaded to YT without problems again and it didn't work. So it can not be a chage I made because it is the same file with the same metadata and it worked a few weeks ago but does not work today. There is a YT support article about uploading 3D to YT. It shows a different way. Do have to it like in the aricte? But I do not really understand how to do this methode. Can you try whether you have to same issue or if it is just for me? If you have the same problem, please do a new and updated version of this video. Thanks for every support!
