@formingus Hi, have a play with Picture Grid,

Hi, thanks for the replay, I don't have that plugin, Search at All plugins it's not appear

Picture Grid is a NewBlue plugin effect.

@formingus Ah shit sorry, yeah NewBlue. oops 🤦‍♂️🙃👴 in that case i would make my own from a Bezier mask, the numbers work in 0 - 1, 0 being the start & 1 being the end, 0.5 is half way, 0.25 is a quarter etc, then save it as a preset, you can then later add Bezier mask to any image in the future & set L or R in the drop-down at the top of the Video Event FX window

Left

Right

The only difference is the location 0.250 vs 0.750

You can still move the picture/video around using Pan/Crop, set the Move in X only so the image only moves left & right or you can zoom in etc.

& mask L half & R half now show in the FX window to just drag onto the track

And Crop is a VEGAS filter:

Another option is to use (old school) Vegas Cookie Cutter FX:

or a little more complicated

Other alternative way to do it..., but requires a bit of compositing technique.

Disadvantage, you can use pan/crop only once, you cannot move or rescale with pan/crop when pan/crop has been used already for masking. (but, alternatively you can use PipFX to move and rescale when put before pan/crop in FX chain).

Good point @3POINT.. so this depends on how the splitscreen scene, and if motion needed... how it shown in the screen. Above comments before my suggestion is the easier way.

Thanks, but I am a beginner!

As far i see this is the easiest way, will try in this way. Thanks

If i Crop i will get Half Video size!!!

Thanks but Masking will crop mine video to half!!!

@formingus Thought you wanted split screen?

@formingus Thought you wanted split screen?

Yes, friend, i want to split screen but I want to remain full video on the screen.
ex: 2 Full aspect ratio Videos on 1 Screen separated on half - While 1st video will play on left half second will be paused, when 2nd will start to play 1st one will be paused etc. So, 2 full videos on 1 screen

sorry my English is not the best

I wouldn't say it's the easiest way but a possible way, for all mentioned methods you need some experience in using and combining Vegas FX.

But as always you only will learn by doing.

@formingus That's more like side by side video & would require portrait filmed video, eg.1080x1920 (9:16), & for 2 side by side the project would need to be 2160x1920 if you're not going to crop the image

Every option given to you in the comments above is split screen of some kind where the video will be getting cropped a bit,

Yes, correct 🤦‍ Sorry mine mistake, yep its side by side video , and yes its true , cropping is present and i do need 9:16 video . True. Thanks for clarification

Here's what i mention above, project is 2160x1920, I've saved the setting as presets in the pan/crop window,

Right side

Left side

If you want the project to be 16:9 (1920x1080) the media is going to get cropped unless you can film in portrait @ 960x1080

PS, you can use the presets that i mention above on a 16:9 but your video will have black bars down either side unless the media gets cropped

This is those presets on a 1920x180 project size

PPS I've put a 16:9 green behind just to show that the presets are the same as i created above

Everything is explained well, thank you for giving so much effort to help US

Thanks too all members too that are always ready to HELP

I do a lot of side-by-sides in my compulsive testing. "Mask 'n Move" in a double width project is the most efficient for me (Pan/Crop and Track Motion).

Can you give a more explanation? Thanks in advance

@formingus 'Mask 'n Move' is reference to using a mask like the Bezier mask or the one in pan/crop, & then using pan/crop & track motion to position the event/clip correctly in place,
'double width project' would be as i mentioned 2 x 1920 or 2 x 1080 or twice the size whatever your video material aspects are so you can fit one next to the other,
