Left only
Right only
Choose the Left only or Right only setting if you're creating separate 
renders for the left- and right-eye outputs. These settings are useful 
when your output format requires separately rendered files for the 
left and right eyes.
You can use the Batch Render script to automate the process. 
Create two custom rendering templates: for one template, set 
the stereoscopic 3D mode to Left only and set the other 
template's stereoscopic 3D mode to Right only. Then choose 
Tools > Scripting > Batch Render, select your format and select 
the check box for your two templates, set the destination folder 
and file name, and click OK. Vegas Pro will render each file with 
the name of the template appended to the file name.
