After much trial and error I have found a way to edit Optimus 3D videos on a Windows PC so here's a brief how to for anyone it may be of use to
Why would you want to edit your 3D videos? You can join videos together to make a 3D movie, crop clean up or resize your video, edit out any unwanted bits, share it with other 3D devices etcetera.
So, here's how to do it....
1. Record some 3D video
2. Connect your phone to your PC
3. Copy the mp4 video files from your phone to your computer (they will be on the SD card, or if you use an external SD card they will be in External_SD, in a folder called DCIM)
4. Run the free software called Mp4Cam2Avi ( click here to download it from sourceforge.
You will see the screen shown in the attached picture, its very easy to see from that what to do (basically all you need to do is choose your file and hit the programs start button, although I used expert mode because that allows you to tell it not to re encode the video which keeps the quality identical and is very quick).
5. When the video is complete open the newly saved video (now an avi) using VirtualDubMod or your choice of video editor. If you use VirtualDubMod you can save the video in Xvid format which shrinks the video size a bit as well as use its many filters.
Please note that v3D videos will appear in side by side format when editing, and saved. These will play as two side by side images on O3D so to view on your Optimus 3D once saved you simply play the video on your phone as normal, press where it says 2D in the right hand bottom corner. It will say 3D and then you just press the menu key and choose the 3D formatter option. Choose the far left view choice and from now on your video will be back in 3D.
You can get VirtualDubMod from sourceforge if you need a video editor.

There are at least 2 different freeware viewers available, for 3D photos taken with the Optimus 3D, or other stereoscopic images that you may want to view on the 3D screen.
Good to have options to the built-in viewer, which I am guessing is weak on supporting other stereo 3D formats.

seems like even the "A*o*e" suit do not support the video or photo!!!
It's all there, there is a workflow description here:
www.a*o*e.com/ie/products/creativesuite/production/stereoscopic-3d.html
Workflow overview
1. Shoot stereo footage, install A*o*e Premiere Pro and Cineform Neo3D
2. Rename assets in A*o*e Bridge for left eye and right eye
3. Use Cineform First Light to convert and multiplex each shot
4. Sync, converge, and adjust muxed assets in First Light
5. Import stereo muxed assets into A*o*e Premiere Pro
6. Edit and add 3D effects and titles in A*o*e Premiere Pro
7. Export stereo 3D assets from A*o*e Media Encoder

this workflow is for 2 separate video streams, this isn't a problem with footage from the phone so ignore that "workflow"
the video from the LG is a single MP4 file that looks like splitscreen. There is information in the MP4 header to say it is 3D (according to LG and the same with HTC and their phone). Adobe Premier will edit this without a problem, where you will run into problems is wipes, titles etc. (simple crossfades and straight cuts will be fine)
Another problem (right now) will be outputting the file, we don't yet know exactly what codec (and version) to use and how to format it (MP4 3D header?) so it plays in 3D back on the phone, though I expect this to come out pretty quick after the launch of the phone.
As for photos, I can edit them OK in Photoshop, though I have to rename to .jpg first and you need a good understanding of stereoscopic 3D to ensure you edit both "photos" correctly.
THanks for the tip, I will take a look the video lecture to see if it really help.
Because I am using a panasonic cam which produce SBS video and the Fujifim W3(avi) and the SH-12C(3gp) to create video, Editing and effect seems to be complicated with the PP5.5.
Because the SH-12 can only play mp4. it is getting complicate to just convert to the correct format.
I think one way will to to upload it to YT3d and download is back for viewing
People in A*o*e seems to like to work with the big camera with 2X 1080p stream other tha half-SBS or interlace video.
As for the MPO files can you open the 2 layers by just renaming them?
How do we playback 3d movies on 3d TVs transferred from O3D device to USB for playback on TV.
I tried it but it shows side by side format and not 3d.
Anyone else tried transferring tyhe 3 dmovie to usb for playback on 3d tv or 3d laptops like acer or asus?
Have you activated 3D mode on the phone?
Is there a manual 3D mode on your other screen?
You have to activate 3d mode on your 3d tv and set it to side by side but I think the 3d effect isn't that good on the top and there is major ghosting present

i have 3d laptop with active interlaced 3d.
Now whereas transferred pictures are in complete 3d, the movie is not.
Side by side format as input and output as interaced 3d real 3d works using steroscopic player.
Cyberlink power dvd for example also has an option to select source format and one has to choose side by side as source.
Thanks mate.
JOb done
I don't own a mini to normal HDMI cable so I haven't hooked up my phone directly to my 3D monitor (LG passive) yet but I just transfer the pics and movies to my pc and play them with TriDef mediaplayer or Stereoscopic Player and that works great.
If I 'simulate' hooking up my phone to my monitor directly by opening a movie in mediaplayer classic, letting it play side by side in fullscreen and setting my 3D monitor input setting to SBS the movies look worse, less 3D and more ghosting.
I have a sony 3d tv, hook up mini usb works no problem. quality is not to good of a 46 inch tv (pictures, games)
Just switch your tv onto sbs.
For images rename .jps to jpg, resize to 1920x1080 pixels and view full screen. SBS works perfect then
You dont need to change the name if you are using tridef.
If you are viewing through a normal player you may need to choose SBS and rename as jpg.
But which normal player allows to choose SBS? I only know of Photoshop
My monitor has lots of options to view 3D content including SBS. You should be able to change the extension to jpg and view the SBS file fullscreen in just about any application and then set your monitor or tv's 3D mode to SBS as well. That way I'm able to view pics and movies in 3D without using 3D software like TriDef or Stereoscopic Player. But like I said earlier, the quality is worse that way.
Chances are that this only works when your tv or monitor is hooked up with HDMI.
PUT phone in 3d and your tv in 3d.
I can view on my TV MPO and JPEGS but not JPS. This wouldnt be so much of an issue if the LG 3D TV i have didnt keep turning the 3 off every time i switch photo's.
Any work around for this?
Anyone have any advice on Evo 3d to LG Passive 3d monitor, such as the d2342p? It seems the LG 3d Monitor is interleaved by row; whereas the parallax barrier e3d / evo 3d / 3vo is interleaved columns... I'm thinking that the LG Optimus 3d is the same as the evo 3d...
I'd love to be able to hookup the optimus3d or the Evo3d with the LG cinema 3d / d2342p / LG 3dmonitor, but am not having any luck yet.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
I was wondering, if the youtube app has it locked into this interleaved columns to work with the glasses-free parallax barrier; could one instead access youtube.com on the browser, and select the 3d option on a yt3d enabled type video and just set it to "row interleaved" and see if that works?
Going to be giving that a try tonight.
In case any one else wants to be able to edit their 3D pics, for example to airbrush out errors or tweak colour balance or add text etcetera here is how to easily do it using only free software.
Step one (long winded way): get the pic from the phone to a pc.....connect to a wireless network, use the phones gallery and hold your finger down over the picture until the menu comes up offering you to share the picture. Choose to email it to yourself then check your email for the sent picture (if asked how to share 3D data choose to share 3D data).
Or step one (easy way): connect your phone to a Windows or Linux computer and turn on USB storage mode when the phone offers you the option. Just use the computer to browse to the picture or pictures you wish to edit (they will have .jps at the end of their name) and copy them to somewhere on your computer.
Step two: edit the pics....download and install the free photo editing software called "The GIMP" (most Linux systems will have this installed already, Windows users can download it from here. When installed just run it and choose FILE OPEN from the file menu of the program. It won't show the jps file you want so change the filetype to show in the file picker so it reads "show all files" and then you will see the jps files.
Edit the picture or pictures and when you save choose to save them as a jpeg file. It will save each pic in side by side 3D format which will work on Optimus 3D, Evo 3D and which you can also upload as is to sites like Picasaweb or Flickr if you wish to share your 3D content.
Hope this helps

Picasa and Flickr doesn't support stereo.
For 3d photos sharing I recomend to use free app Phereo 3d. This app uses Phereo.com service. Service allows you to upload stero photos, group them in albums and, more importantly, allows you to view it in all possible modes, including anaglyph, and 3d vision right on the site. Users can leave comments and rate photos by clicking “like” button. Phereo 3D allows to browse through thousands of 3D images and share your own stereo photos on Phereo.com. Application shows stereo on HTC EVO 3D and LG Optimus 3D: fully supports their stereoscopic displays and built-in stereo cameras.
You can still share your 3D content with any site using this method as the pics are in standard side by side format so 3D devices can view your content from such sites by viewing the saved pic in tbe devices viewing app (I do this with some picasaweb pics).
Phereo is good, I use it myself, but most sites do not support 3D images and this guide shows how to easily share your pics even on non compatible sites. You are right those sites do not support 3D viewing natively but the pics can be easily shared on them or with friends who have say another 3D device

I have 100s of custom 3d images ( top-bottom 3d ) and a few sbs 3d videos.
I am able to render these in 3d, by changing the 3d formatter properties from gallery.
These are stored in the external SD card in a custom folder.
However, whenever I connect the mobile to PC in data sharing mode and disconnect ( properly ) there's a high chance that all the formatting i've applied to all these images and videos are lost.
I do not want to set the 3d formatter property for images one be one all the time, so :
1. How to avoid the formatter property from being lost ?
2. Is there a batch 3d format applier tool available for images and videos ?
thx
Heres the model and sw details:
LG P920
android 2.2.2 [ unable to updgrade, it says "already u have latest s/w" ]
Software version LG P920 V10c Oct 2011
After a few hours of effort I found a partial solution.
O3D has issues with top bottom 3d images : it natively wants sbs 3d image.
If u have have top bottom, convert to sbs ( use irfanview and merge -> can be painful as whole process is not automated )
The native resolution of O3d is 800x480 so modify width and keep height = 480.
After conversion to sbs jpeg, rename it to jps and copy to SD card.
When O3d sees the jps extension, it recognizes that the image is a stereoscopic image and puts it in the default 3d mode ( which is sbs ) and therefore no formatter options are required and therefore connecting to PC will not mess up the 3d images anymore !
That said, PC connect is still messing up my custom 3d videos formatter options. 3D videos are NOT recognized by the extension but by a flag inside the file ( see another post on this forum ).
Therefore when PC connect messes up the formatter tags for the video, O3D doesnt even know its a 3d video and therefore the default sbs option cannot help here.
Original question remains: why is PC connecting messing up formatter tags ?
One of the features and usefulness of a Smartphone is to record a video. This may be a video of yourself or an event and most

I was using Filmora free version on to create some videos and realised that it is a fast and effective way to editing but do not have the customization options I'm looking for. Seems like PowerDirector may be the thing I was looking for, thanks for sharing.
Which one is easy to use?

Hey, from my personal experience I can tell you that Alight Motion app is the best video edition apk for your android device. Most of the video editing apk on the market now are heavy and not specially designed for android. But Alight Motion is a very handy, lightweight tool. You can just select a video from your phone's gallery and start editing. It will take very little time to complete editing. Thousands of graphical elements and fonts make it very comfortable for the users. You can download and learn a lot from the link.
