    Here’s what you do:

    Get your two images, left eye and right eye.

    Put them both in the timeline on top of each other. Apply the effect: channel> set channels to both of them.

    For the top layer set the red channel to red, blue to none, and green to none. Set this layer to “add” mode.

    Now for the layer below it set the red channel to none, green to none and blue to blue.

    You may have to swap the order of the clips to match your red/blue glasses.

    For info on 3D anaglyphs check out the “Stereoscopic 3D Web Ring” https://www.deborah.ws/Stereo3D/ or google for “anaglyph” or “stereoscopic”.

    (the red/blue glasses are usually red/cyan. The AE 3D Glasses plug-in does a pretty good job at matching those colors)

    ok guys! thankx for the quick replies. i think i’ll manage it from here. was still wondering if there is a way to have the whole color spectrum of the original image mixed into it? by an extra layer on both sides maybe with some vage color impressions of the original … also with the add function maybe? … gonna do the experiment. tnx alot!
