    I am trying to find the video filter or effect (not sure what will do it) but what I hope to accomplish is to have multiple video tracks shown at one time in the final output. I have one track that is playing, and at some point another track needs to squeeze into view, and then two more, to ultimately have a quad-screen showing all 4 at the same time.
    I searched posts on this and couldn’t find anything on point so I’m hoping someone can help point me in the right direction.

    Thanks for your help!

    I would probably just use the tools under your motion tab to resize or distort your picture into quadrants. It all really depends on what kind of effect you are looking for in the final.

    Just put your 1st video track on V1 then step the consecutive video tracks up on ascending video tracks (V2, V3, etc…). Keyframe the size, position and or distort parrameters to move the image where you want it.

    You could also try usin the Picture in Picture effect but I don’t think that is what you are looking to do.
