About This Tool

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.

How to Use

  1. Provide inputs: upload video files or specify source URL.
  2. Choose SBS layout and target resolution.
  3. Run conversion and monitor progress.
  4. Review outputs: check metadata and quality, then download or route to storage.
  5. Optional: add more files for batch processing or save presets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What is SBS format and when should I use it?
SBS displays place two video frames side by side within a single frame for 3D viewing. Use SBS when your target is passive 3D displays or VR setups that accept SBS streams; it preserves frame timing and simplifies playback without full 3D editing.
Which inputs are supported and what formats are produced?
Supported inputs include common containers (MP4, MKV, MOV) with widely used codecs (H.264/H.265). Output is an SBS-encoded video in a standard container (typically MP4) suitable for SBS-enabled players and displays.
How is audio handled in SBS output?
Audio can be remuxed to synchronize with the SBS frames or duplicated to match the two-panel layout. If the source has multiple tracks, the tool can select a primary track or preserve all tracks as configured.
What are the quality considerations and limits?
Quality depends on target resolution, bitrate allocation across panels, and any scaling or cropping. Upstream codecs may introduce compression artifacts; the tool preserves color space where possible and avoids unnecessary upscaling beyond specified targets.
Can I process multiple files at once?
Yes, batch processing supports queuing multiple source files with optional presets. Each file runs independently, and outputs are saved with distinct filenames to prevent collisions.
