Why this matters
Split screen keeps different views visible together while you explain a comparison. In Edit, each footage panel can use its own timeline source. Choose left / right or top / bottom, or let Auto for video format arrange columns for landscape and rows for portrait. A single panel can sit on an edge or in the center. Panels reveal in sequence from the selected edge. Turn on Exit through opposite side when you want them to clear at the end; leaving it off keeps them visible. Map Studio uses the same layouts with an independent geographic view in each panel. Automatic maps can split comparisons between two or three resolved places, while routes keep a continuous map. Unscoped automatic mattes use split screens for comparison passages with enough different footage sources.
What changed
Show one, two or three footage or map panels with clean white dividers, an edge reveal and an optional exit through the opposite side, in portrait or landscape videos.
Slide comparisons over your current footage or map
The first picture is the current timeline cut or current map, already playing at its original size. Split screen adds only the other pictures. Choose two or three panels to slide one or two additional sources over that picture. A single partial panel can sit at an edge or in the center. Reveal from chooses the incoming edge, and Reveal seconds sets the slide duration. White dividers travel with the panel edges and settle between the pictures with a soft halo. Exit through opposite side is optional; when enabled, the added panels slide away while the original footage or map remains underneath. The same movement is used in previews and exports. Automatic mattes and maps use it for suitable comparisons.
Keep both pictures centered as the split moves
Split screen starts with your current timeline cut or map. When another view enters, the divider moves inward and both pictures reframe together, keeping each source centered inside its own panel. Two or three views can share the frame in landscape or portrait layouts. Reveal from chooses the incoming side and Reveal seconds sets the motion duration. The white divider has a solid core and soft glow. Turn on Finish on newest panel to move the divider through the opposite edge and expand the newest picture to full-screen. Leave it off to keep the divided view until the placement ends. The original video keeps playing through the movement. Preview and export share the same boundaries, and automatic mattes and maps use this composition for suitable comparisons.
How to use it
Add a split matte
In Edit, open Mattes, choose Split screen and apply it to the timeline.
Choose your views
Set Panels and Layout. The current cut is the first view; choose the Added panel footage sources. Each picture stays centered inside its moving panel.
Set the motion
Choose Reveal from and Reveal seconds. Enable Finish on newest panel when you want the newest picture to take over the full frame at the end.
Split a map
In Map Studio, change Split screen from Full map to Split map panels. Set each Added panel view using a camera moment or pan and zoom the added panel. Each map view stays centered in its panel.
