split frames in VideoFactory

I would like to edit two videos such that they each take up
one side (left and right) of a combined video. (Think of a
video of a telephone conversation where you see one person
on the left side of the screen and another person on the
right side of the screen.)

I realize that I need to crop each of the two videos, but I
haven't been able to right and left justify the cropped
videos. When I crop a video it always stays centered. Is
there an easy feature that I just haven't noticed? Please
let me know how to do the split screen editing if you know
how.

Thanks.
Tyler

The effect you are looking for is not easily achieved in
VideoFactory, unless the footage is shot just right. You
might consider upgrading to Vegas (or demoing the upgrade),
as Vegas has much more advanced compositing and cropping
capability.
