Hi,
I am new to Corel, in fact I just downloaded it a few hours ago. I have several questions I am hoping someone can help me with.
I put together a 3D movie, but one of the camera's pictures has a bad picture due to something on the lens. I am hoping to continue making a 3D movie as a test, but also to make a 2D with the clear picture (is it the right lens). When I try it will only use the left (blurry) lens. Is there a way to make it use the right lens?
My video is off a FUJIFILM FINEPIX 3D CAMERA. So far I am unable to figure out how to get a 3D image to work on my Vizio 3D TV. I am trying to get it to work with "Sensio" 3D.
What I am really looking for is a software program that will allow me to turn my 3D pictures and videos into a 3d Disc I will be able to play on my TV. Can you do this without a Blue Disc recorder/player.
I have a lot to learn on this and welcome any help or hints on how to get up to speed!!

Re: 3d to 2d, getting the right picture
Welcome to the forum ... though I have to quickly add that I wish you luck in your quest for 3D!! 
At the outset, I have to add that I know very little about 3D, so I hope someone with more experience in it will quickly jump in here.
But a quick answer from what I know. Yes, you can burn both a standard definition and also Blu-Ray standard discs. For the former, you will not need a Blu-Ray burner or player, just your standard DVD burner and a DVD player. But of course, depending on the quality of your Finepix video, a standard DVD will only give you a maximum bitrate of 8000 kbps and a frame format of 720 x 576 (PAL) or 720 x 480 (NTSC). This, I suspect, will be considerably lower than your original quality. So you would need to decide whether quality is more important and thus invest in a Blu-Ray burner and player.
IIRC, earlier versions of Video Studio used to produce only anaglyph 3D i.e. the red-cyan offsets which, when viewed through special glasses (which Corel used to supply!!) you would get the 3D effect... I played around with anaglyph for a while but at the time thought it was more of a gimmick. X7 does both anaglyph and side-by-side 3D.
Now I also know nothing about your Vizio 3D TV but you would need to consult its Manual as to what inputs it has. Many modern HDTVs -- and I assume 3D TVs are in this category -- can play some types of HD video from a USB stick drive or external hard drive plugged directly into your TV. Others may require a Blu-Ray player to be plugged into the TV via HDMI cable, and you would plug the USB drive into the player. Given the drastic fall in Blu-Ray players in the past year or so, this could be a cheap option. (And if by chance you have a Sony PlayStation 3, that is already an excellent Blu-Ray player...)
In other words, using these sorts of options, you might not need a Blu-Ray burner in your computer. You could simply convert your project into a 3D video in the format appropriate to your TV -- either mpeg-2 or AVCHD using Share > 3D... I see X7 can also produce MVC 3D videos, which in reality are another version of an AVCHD video.
