CyberLink PowerDirector
2D: select this option if the selected media file is actually 2D content.
Side by side format: select this option if the 3D content has two different
images side by side. CyberLink PowerDirector merges the two images to
produce the 3D effect.
Over/Under format: select this option if the 3D content has two different
video images, one on top of the other. CyberLink PowerDirector merges
the two images to produce the 3D effect.
Multiview video coding: select this option if the 3D content is in the MVC
video format (.mts or .m2ts file format).
Dual view format: select this option if the 3D content is in the dual view
source format (.avi file format).
3. From the drop-down available, Specify whether to display the left or right eye
frame first. Use this feature if while editing or playing back 3D content you
begin to feel uncomfortable or uneasy. This may be because the layout of the
3D image is displayed differently than most standard content. If this occurs,
try selecting the opposite eye view. This switches the way the 3D content is
displayed on your display device, and may reduce the discomfort.
4. Click OK to set your changes to the selected media file.
The Difference Between 3D
and 3D-Like Effects
In supported versions of CyberLink PowerDirector, there are both 3D effects* and
effects that have "3D-Like" properties.
Like 3D media that can be imported into the library, 3D effects* are composed of
two images from slightly different perspectives. 3D effects have one image for the
left eye, and one image for the right eye. When these images are viewed together
with compatible 3D hardware and software, they produce an effect that gives the
perception of depth. In supported versions of CyberLink PowerDirector, you can
enable this type of 3D effect for PiP media, particle effects, title effects, and on disc
menus. The video effects and transitions indicated with the 3D icon on their
thumbnail, also have these 3D effect properties when viewed and included in 3D
video productions.
Some titles, transitions, and other features in CyberLink PowerDirector have 3D-Like
