Split Screen/Multi-Cam

[BSS Mudcat]

When I got this I was hoping to be able to do some split screen or multi-cam shots. I thought that I would be able to accomplish this by resizing the different tracks and anchoring them to different points. However I have not been able to find a way to resize the tracks, so is this even possible?

Here is an example of one I did using different software for PiP, by that method, just want to know if it is possible to do with this.

Sure, it's quite easily done. One way to do this might be to first add the main video (the video you want to be in the back), then you can add a new Video track (right-click on one of the tracks to the left-side and choose Insert Video Track), then add your second video (the one you want as the smaller video to be shown on-top-of the main video) into that new video track.

By default, each video added will have a Pan / Crop FX Plug-In. Open that FX on your 2nd video and you can then easily edit it (adjust the size - left-click to grab-and-hold a corner-handle to resize - of the video and then position it where you like on top of the other video. Use mouse-wheel to zoom in or zoom out accordingly while editing in this FX Plug-In).

If you had a "green-screen" on your 2nd video, you could even enable and adjust the Chroma-Key FX Plug-In to have the background (or the Green-Screen) be transparent.

As an example, here's a silly video I made recently using the above mentioned techniques with to have a PiP and with a transparent background on my 2nd video (so you'll see the silly "Mittens" cat-character overlayed on top of the other video):

Thanks, I might be able to get that to work with what I want to do.
