Since I have a normal color filtered 3D glasses, is it possible? how? (say using plug-in for premiere, or a separate software)

Could you rephrase your question? I don't quite understand what it actually is. Are you trying to mimic a look with a plug in??

Generally speaking, I am looking for a way to convert a normal video clip into a 3D-stereo clip so that I can view it with my 3D glasses. I have just no idea how to do it.

Oh man...I have absolutely NO IDEA. Haha, sorry, but there's probably some weird optical process. I heard somewhere that they actually overlap two layers of video (or film) that are not exactly on top of each other (creating the bluriness you see when you don't put the 3D glasses on).

wouldn't you need two source clips which are identical, but shot from several inches apart to start with? otherwise there is nothing to create the 3d effect with.

I know there are hardware box which allow you to do this, thats why I'm pretty that its also possible that you can do it with software.
Are there any software solutions exsisted? Where if yes?

If it wasn't recorded with two cameras, it's not really 3D. Anything else that says it can try to simulate it only splits the channel and distorts the picture some for each eye. It never looks right.

Yeah, titaniumdougnut is right, you'd need two cameras shooting at slightly offset angles.

i've been wanting to try that with a 3d graphic for a while, cause it'd be really easy to keep adjusting the camera angles in the animation until they matched up right.

the idea or the two cameras is to replicate the human eyes. Having two eyes allows us to judge, and see depth better,therefore giving the impression of 3d.

cant any software simulate the situation, to duplicate the orginal footage, adjust the angle slightly, add filter to both source and the duplicate and finally comine them together into one video. Sounds not too difficult!

Its harder than you think. Any plugin that could do anythig like that...well i would be shocked if it was anywhere even remotely consistent. First off, it would have to guess as to what is deeper in the frame based on a flat 2d image. One could argue that a shot with good DOF would help, but even then, how would it discern how far back an item was? Then factor in that it would have to create the missing information for the offset, and finally we have to remember that true 3d would have seemingly infinite levels of depth (as would be achieved stereoscopically) between the foreground and the background. If you had a moving shot of, say, a field, as you panned the foreground would shift a lot faster than the background, and it would all be somewhere between the two for the middleground. Thats an awful lot of guesswork to be figured out by algorithms.

So lets back up a few steps here - what are you trying to accomplish? Just a curiosity or is this for some kind of project? With some planning i'm sure it can be pulled off. Just not this way.

like everyone has said, there's no real way to get a 3d image with just one 2d video. BUT, if you want to make your video look like that 3d video that you needed the red and blue glasses to see, you could use a plugin like "Cult Effects 3d glasses" for after effects. It was made around the time of after effects 5 or 5.5 and was actually sold by adobe in an accessory pack.

If that isn't an option, you could probably fake it by duplicating the red and blue channels, and shifting them slightly left and right and reducing opacity and adjusting as necessary.

heh, interesting. never heard of that one. Yet another example of a plugin that emulates something that usually would want to be avoided. Like film grain and damage...i've used them myself, but conceptually they are a tad ironic.
