  • How to do “Split Screen” like old Phone conversations in Movies?

    Posted by Pete Richardson on April 8, 2011 at 7:54 pm

    Hello
    I’ve been having fun getting used to my Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 6.0 since January.
    I have a question, How do I do Split Screen? like in the old movie classic of showing 2 people having a phone conversation?
    I can’t find a effect that just says split screen (but I’m sure it must be there?) I thought it might be in Cookie Cutter, but I can’t find one in there that makes 2 halves of a screen (I maybe looking wrong again though)
    Any help will be appreciated
    Thank you
    Best Wishes Pete

    Yea, you would think that split screen would be a common effect but it’s not there. You can, however, use the Cooke Cutter. Select Triangle and set the Size: 0.380, Center X: 1.000, and Center Y: 0.500 and you should get a diagonal split. Add a little border to your liking and you’re all set.
