Multiple Viewing Screens Option in Vegas Pro?

With Vegas Pro 22, I am doing a restoration project with two versions of the same movie, where I need to match multiple shots frame to frame in order to create a new master edit. So far I have been working with the footage with each on its own track and using one view screen, blending one over the other, like a double exposure, then shifting one of the tracks to put them in align. There are a lot of cuts involved and it’s very difficult to manage the ever changing scenes. It would be a great help if I were able to open two viewing screens, one for each track – like on the old flatbed editors – so I can simultaneously see what is happening on one track or the other. I hope my description is clear. Does Vegas Pro have an option to open multiple screens? Thank you!

@Carl-Weingarten You could add a Bezier mask that only shows one side, (This can be done with Pan/Crop too) then shift one of the tracks to align them.

Maybe create a project twice the width, use Track Motion to offset the two tracks. Then when you're done shifting the events restore the project to it's orig size & restore Track Motion. 🤷‍♂️
