4.  Click the Customize Template button to create a new template.
5.  In the Custom Settings dialog, click the Project tab.
6.  From the Stereoscopic 3D mode drop-down list, choose the setting that you want to use for 
rendering your project.
Choose Use project settings if you want to use the setting from the Video tab in the Project 
Properties dialog, or choose another mode if you want to override the project setting when 
rendering.
When you use Tools > Burn Disc > Blu-ray Disc in a stereoscopic 3D project, Vegas Pro  will 
create a Blu-ray 3D™ Disc. For more information, see "Burning a Blu-ray Disc from the 
Timeline" on page 499.
If your project is destined for professional Blu-ray 3D™ Disc replication, Vegas Pro  can prepare 
content in full HD per-eye format by rendering two separate  files (see Left only and Right only 
below), which can be read  by an MVC encoder such as the Dualstream 3D encoder and 
authored using a tool such  as Blu-print.

Setting Description
Use project settings Uses the setting from the Video tab in the Project Properties dialog.
Side by side (half) Choose this setting when your rendered video will contain left- and 
right-eye views in a single frame.
Left- and right-eye views are displayed as half of the available 
horizontal resolution.
YouTube 3D
YouTube 3D uses frame-compatible video, so you  can create a 
custom render template using a format that is compatible  with 
YouTube, such as XDCAM EX, Windows Media Video, or 
MainConcept MPEG-2.  For the custom template, set the stereoscopic 
3D mode to Side  by side (half) and select the Swap  Left/Right check 
box since YouTube 3D defaults to this layout.
When you upload your video to YouTube, add yt3d:enable=LR as a 
tag to enable 3D viewing. Also add yt3d:aspect=16:9 (or 
yt3d:aspect=4:3) to set the viewing frame aspect ratio.
