Finally, an answer to 3D enthusiasts that are Final Cut Pro users. 

Final Cut has spatial video editing for quickly editing files from the iPhone, Xreal Beam Pro and Qoocam etc. 

But what if you are shooting with a two camera rig? The answer is the Spatial Toolkit from fxfactory.  

The Spatial Toolkit plugin written by Iain Anderson makes the workflow simple. 

1. Install the Spatial Toolkit plugin (You will need to install FxFactory)
2. Import and left and right eye clips into Final Cut Pro.
3. Select and synchronize the two clips as a Spatial Video clip
4. Create a Spatial Video Project.
5. Place synchronized clip on timeline. Open the contents of the synchronized clip
6. On the left eye video clip, change x: -1920
7. On the right eye video clip, change x: 1920
8. Go back to project timeline. In FCP, change view stereoscopic as Anaglyph
9. Add an adjustment layer above the clip. Now add the "Stereo Offset Duo" and the "Stereo Transform" effect in the adjustment layer.
10. Align the video while wearing the anaglyph glasses.
11. Zoom, move and scale to finish the clip.
12. Export as Spatial Video MV-HEVC for Apple Vision Pro or full sbs via HEVC, h264, ProRes.
