Create Split Screen Video

Suppose you have three pieces of vertical video clips, and you want them to display at the same time, follow the steps below.

Step 1 Create a new project in VideoProc Vlogger.

Enter the project name, select a video resolution and aspect ratio, for instance, you can go with 1920x1080 (16:9).

Step 2 Import video files and picture files into the media library.

Step 3 Drag clip 1 into the Video Track, and drag clip 2 into Overlay Track.

Step 4 Click + to add New Overlay Track, and drag clip 3 into this track.

Step 5 Arrange these 3 clips on the timeline. You can move a clip by clicking on it (don't release your mouse) and drag it on the timeline.

• If you want three clips to appear at the same time, make sure the beginning parts of each clip line up to the playhead.
• If you want them to appear one by one, drag clip 2 a few frames behind clip 1, and clip 3 a few frames behind clip 2.

Step 6 Move the clips in the Preview Window.

You can click the Crop icon on the toolbar to adjust the aspect ratio of the images and video clips.

Click on the clip in the preview window, and drag it to the left side of the screen, then click another clip and drag it to the right side of the screen. The third clip remains at the central part of the window.

After adding your video to the timeline, open the Effects panel and choose the 2x2 grid or the 2x3 grid effect. Drag and place it to the Effect track, then you can see the screen was divided into 4 or 6 parts evenly. By dragging the edges of the effect clip, you can change its duration.

Create Split Screen Effects using Videos at Various Aspect Ratios

Create Full Screen to Split Screen Effects

You can use VideoProc Vlogger to create split screen video in the middle of the video, to make it fun when you are displaying the content to the audience.

For instance, your project can start with a full screen video, and then the split screen effects, and back to the full screen video.

Step 1 Drag clip 1 to the timeline, since it is 1920x1080, and the project resolution is set at 1920x1080, the video clip fills up the entire screen.

Step 2 Let's say you want the split screen effects to start at 00:02:00, and lasts for 2 minutes. Go drag the clips you needed to the overlay tracks, starting at 00:02:00. You can click the + icon to add new overlay tracks.

Step 3 Split clip 1 at 00:02:00 and split it again at 00:04:00.

Step 5 Select 9:16 aspect ratio (or other vertical aspect ratios), and hit Apply Crop.

Step 6 Arrange the three clips in the Preview window to create split screen effects.
