Fun Trick to Create High Resolution 3D Photos & Clips from *some* 2D Videos in SpatialLabs

For Photos:

1. Find a 4k or 8k video that have a "trucking shot" of a stationary subject (ie. drone shots of mountains where the drone is moving left-to-right or right-to-left)
2. Grab 2 screenshots, the further apart they are the more hyper-3D it'll look (for better or worse)
3. Stitch them side-by-side into a 7680x2160 image (Photopea is free, I use Affinity Designer 2)
4. Open the image with SpatialLabs Player.

For Clips:

1. Find a 4k or 8k video that have a "trucking shot" of a stationary subject (ie. drone shots of landscapes where the drone is moving left or right) and download it
2. Create a new project in a video editing program (Davinci Resolve is free), set the resolution to 7680x2160, and import the video
3. Place the video into your timeline twice, and place one copy on the left-half of the frame and the other copy on the right-half
4. Offset the videos slightly in the timeline. The more offset they are, the more 3D the "trucking shots" will be
   1. note: If the video is moving left-to-right, have the right-half be ahead
   2. note: If the video is moving right-to-left, have the left-half be ahead
5. Remove the scenes that don't work
6. Export as MP4
7. Open the video with SpatialLabs Player
   1. note: If there's a scene where the images are on the wrong side, then you can hover over the top-left icon and click "LR Image Swap"

You can expect to see ghosting in areas with motion, but this is a great way to see how good 3D content can be for this monitor with 2 professional cameras. This is also a fun way to experiment with how far apart you can separate the cameras depending on how far away the subject is, such as having 2 drones record several feet apart to create a true miniature effect of a landscape.
