Re: Editing pgm for 3D 4K video?

I have been using the same Editing software for my 3d work for many years now.

I have Sony Movie Studio 12 Platinum ( renders output at 1080p ) and Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum ( which will render 4K output ).

I tend to use Sony Movie Studio 12 Platinum as I usually render my 3d at 1080 30p output. I have two cameras which I mostly use at 1280x720 120fps. This means I can align the time line of my left and right video tracks within 4mS or better, and I have the choice to do 4x slow motion if I wish. I can output full side by side with horizontal black bars at top and bottom or side by side squashed ( no  bars anywhere ) , or Anaglyph.

Today I tried rendering to 4K ( 3840x2160 ) 30p. My left and right footage was filmed at 1920x1080 60p. For this I used my Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum software for editing. I output full side by side , crossview, with horizontal black bars at top and bottom . There was a bit of a bug in the software ( only occurs when outputting 4K ) in that vertical alignment was changed slightly when rendering took place. I off-set the vertical alignment to allow for this bug - not ideal - but sort of worked. I viewed the rendered output ( 4K 30p ) on my 1920x1080 PC monitor ( I don't have a 4K monitor ). I viewed using the cross-eyed method.
