How to make 3D YouTube Videos
Step 1
Set up a scene to be recorded on two cameras simultaneously, arranging them like a pair of perfectly level eyes. Any difference in angle will reduce the effect.
Step 2
Syncronize the resulting footage in your video editing program, placing the two shots side by side in the same frames. The “left-eye” camera shot should go on the right-hand side and vice-versa .
Step 3
When you upload the video, add the tag yt3d:enable=true. If it’s in widescreen, you also need to add yt3d:aspect=16:9.
Step 4
YouTube will then analyse the video and make a composite of both sides. When viewed through your 3D specs it should jump out at you.
Step 5: Making 3D glasses
And in case you don’t have 3D glasses, here’s how to make them. You need some card, red and cyan “gels” , a ruler, scissors, a scalpel and some glue. For the frames, fold the card in half and cut a rectangle as wide as your head and twice as deep as your eyes, then cut eye holes. Cut one square of each gel slightly larger than the eye holes and two long strips of card about 2cm wide for the arms. Open up the frames and place the lenses inside with red on the right eye. Put about 1cm of each arm on the sides. Seal like a sandwich. Fold and trim the arms, and carve shapes for your ears and nose.
