I have two camcorders and a stereo bar. I have tried stereo movie maker. I converted he files to .wmv with my Samsung software, uploaded them to windows movie maker and converted them to avi with that. Even though they are compatible files for stereo movie maker, it apparently isn't Vista compatible and crashes on upload.

Any way, enough rambling. Since I am getting Masters Edition CS4 any ways I just downloaded the trial of Premiere Pro. I have some video guides for beginners that are pretty good. However, for side by side, stereoscopic movies, is Premiere Pro really what I need or would placing films side by side and fixing the aspect ratios be done in After Effects?

I am an absolute newbie, but dying to learn.

I'm not a Premiere user, nor have I made any stereoscopic movies, but I'm just about to start experimenting in that realm. There are really two possibilities here:

1) take the left- and right-channel videos into After Effects, sync them up, and export each take as one big, wide video file that you can then edit with in Premiere. This takes more work up front and is a less flexible option, but it may be easier on your graphics card if you have an older computer.

2) use multiclips (that's a Final Cut term, but I would assume that Premiere has a similar functionality) or nested sequences to synchronize the clips and edit directly in Premiere. The advantage of this is flexibility: when you're done editing, with very little additional work you can output in any number of formats: separate video files for each channel, crossed-eye stereo, divergent-view stereo, red/blue anaglyph, whatever.

Personally, when I do eventually try this out I plan on going with option #2, just to keep my options open.
