Video to SBS Converter

The tool converts a source video into a side-by-side SBS composition by placing two equal-width frames in a single output frame. It preserves aspect ratios, applies optional scaling, and can maintain audio synchronization by remuxing or duplicating audio streams. It targets consumers assembling 3D content for 3D displays, VR headsets, or legacy SBS pipelines.
Input handling covers common formats (MP4, MKV, MOV) and codecs, with validation steps for resolution and framerate. Output is typically MP4 with an SBS layout; advanced options allow cropping, padding, or letterboxing to fit the target display. The process is deterministic and reproducible.
Audience and value: video editors, streaming workflows, educators, and hobbyists who need a straightforward SBS workflow without full-featured editors. Unique differentiators: batch support, preservation of color spaces, and compatibility with standard SMPTE timing; performance is optimized with hardware acceleration where available.
Use cases include converting tutorial videos for 3D viewing, converting 360 videos into SBS for compatibility, and creating archival SBS assets.
