Rule No. 1 - Look for horizontal movement
A single horizontally moving object in front of a static background or a horizontally panning camera gives the best results. The better your object stands out from the background, the better the 3D will be. Choose steady footage for the best results.
Rule No. 2 - Avoid fast action
Pick clips with relatively slow-moving subjects. Too much fast action reduces the sense of depth in your clips. When you pick clips with slower movement, you’ll see how 3D can really pop!
Rule No. 3 - Choose objects that partly fill the frame
It’s best to be relatively close to the main object in your video – but not too close. If your target fills the entire frame then it’ll be harder to get good 3D results. The best 3D comes from clips that aren’t too visually busy.Add 3D depth with titles & picture-in-picture effects
An easy way to create effects that pop off the screen when viewed in 3D is to add titles and picture-in-picture effects that move from left to right across the screen.Picture-in-Picture
VideoStudio Pro includes the superb NewBlue Picture-in-Picture filter that’s just right for making professional-quality effects. Use key frames to have your picture-in-picture move slowly from left to right for stunning 3D.
Titles
Titles that scroll horizontally from left to right are an easy way to add 3D magic to your movies. Choose a solid font, make your titles easy to read and avoid fast motion for the best results.
Upload to YouTube™
An easy way to create effects that pop off the screen when viewed in 3D is to add titles and picture-in-picture effects that move from left to right across the screen.
Choose Upload to YouTube™ 3D and your video will be automatically created as a side-by-side 3D video file in MPEG-4 HD format. Just follow the on-screen instructions to log into YouTube™ and upload your 3D video to your YouTube™ account.

3D video playback software
WinDVD Pro 11 is leading Blu-ray 3D™ player software, specially designed for 3D and 2D playback. This popular playback software supports the following 3D formats and accessories:- 3D-Ready DLP TV
- Full HD 3D TV
- Full HD 3D TV – Interleaved
- NVIDIA® 3D Vision™
- HDMI 1.4 Video Output

3D-supported TV
3D-supported TVs fall into two categories: 3D-ready and Full 3D.3D-ready TV sets can operate in both 2D and 3D mode, using one of several display technologies to create 3D images. These TV sets usually support HDMI 1.4 and a minimum input and output refresh rate of 120 Hz. Learn how 3D video works.
Full 3D TV sets use Full HD 3D technology, comprised of Checkerboard, Row Interleaved or active shutter control technology
What is 3D video?
3D video delivers a realistic sense of depth, using technology to manipulate images so that they can be viewed in almost the same way as your eyes view real objects. Here’s how it works:
3D is based on the way our brain and eyes
work together. Because each eye views the same scene from a slightly
different angle, they each return a distinct perspective. This
difference allows the brain to distinguish depth. When the brain merges
both images to produce a single picture, a 3D perspective is created.
To create the depth required to make the
flat 2D presentation of a TV or computer monitor appear in 3D, two
different images are alternately projected – one to each eye – which
causes the picture to appear fuzzy unless you are wearing a pair of 3D
glasses. The 3D glasses alternate the images to the correct eye.
Corel WinDVD lets you set your 3D viewing preferences during playback
What types of 3D are there?
Anaglyph 3D superimposes images through two filters; one red and one cyan. When you wear your anaglyph 3D glasses with their corresponding red and cyan frames, each eye receives a distinct perspective, which your brain combines for the 3D effect.Polarized 3D uses polarized light to project the images for each eye in different directions to create the sense of 3D depth. An alternate approach is rotational polarity, where the images for each eye are spun in different directions, one clockwise, one counter-clockwise. The glasses then pick up these opposite rotations to distinguish the images for each eye.
Active 3D/Shutter 3D is when the glasses are synced with the TV monitor and actively open and close their shutters, allowing only one eye at a time to see the screen. 3D-enabled TVs have high image refresh rates, so they can keep up with the glasses and produce a smooth stream of images.
