Dear Bernhard, I'm certainly not one of the Pymol 3D experts, but I've done a a few 3D movies in Pymol for presentations with a 3D projector. It's not much different from creating non-3D videos, only difference is the movies contains the two images side-by-side. Youtube assumes 'Cross-Eye Stereo' by default. After uploading the video to YouTube you have to set a special 3D-tag to be recognized as a 3D movie (see below). This is the workflow how I would do it:
1) create scenes & movie in PyMOL and write out consecutive frames (PNGs) with 'Cross-Eye Stereo' activated 2) Merge the PNG-frames to a (video-compressed) movie using a suitable program of your choice (e.g. VirtualDub) employing a compression codec (e.g. MJPEG) (for help on video formats supported by YouTube see: https://support.google.com/youtube/troubleshooter/2888402?hl=en&ref_topic=2888648) 3) Upload the Video to Youtube, add the following tag: yt3d:enable=true. (for help on YouTube formatting tags see: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/146402?hl=en&ref_topic=2888648) I also found a tutorial which describes the process coming from a slightly different background than structural biology ;-) but the procedure is similar. Maybe this is helpful... http://www.3dsview.com/2011/12/12/3ds-view-tutorial-how-to-convert-3ds-videos-to-youtube-3d/ Good luck!
