Select all clips on video track 2
Drag i.e. the Anaglyph preset on all selected clips

Toggle Flat – S3D

To change the output from S3D to flat for the entire timeline, simply hide the top layer with the Toggle Track Output

Toggle SBS – Anaglyph

To change output from Anaglyph to Side-By-Side for the entire timeline

If you already made adjustments such as Horizontal Shift, changing the output requires changing each clip’s

For 2-track timeline, change all effects on track 2: Select all clips, right-click on one clip > Remove Effects > Drag different present

Don’t mind working with 3 tracks: Changing output is only one click by hiding a track. Use one SBS and one Anaglyph track

Adjust Horizontal Shift

To change output from Anaglyph to Side-By-Side for the entire timeline

For 2-track timeline, change all effects on track 2: Select all clips, right-click on one clip > Remove Effects > Drag different present

Don’t mind working with 3 tracks: Changing output is only one click by hiding a track. Use one SBS and one Anaglyph track

Toggle SBS – Anaglyph

To change output from Anaglyph to Side-By-Side for the entire timeline

If the Global Display Switch is ON for all clips, one Display Type change should affect all clips. Check it out, if it works: Great. For me, it seems buggy and not working correctly in CS6. I had to change every clip’s settings…
