Compositing 2 clips into one screen
>>> NEWBIE <<< I have a racing project where I need to show on screen two video clips I have side by side. It's of no importance that they are stretched as long as I can watch both clips simultaneously. I have Vegas 7 with the manual but I cannot find a reference to anything like this but it's not that difficult is it? Anyone with help would be appreciated.... Many thanks in advance - Steve

Take a look at the first four issues of my newsletters (link below my name).

Edwards newsletters are wonderful! You will learn a lot from them. But quick and dirty:
You want to use cropping and track motion.
As an example, place car A on track 1 and place car B on track 2. Line the clips up so they are at the same entry point into a corner (or whatever you are comparing)under the curser on the time line. You can then use track motion (icon in the track header) to reduce the size of each track so that both will fit on the same screen. However they will now be right on top of each other and you will only be able to see the track 1 car. You then take and move the track 2 picture to the left (again with track motion) and will see it emerge out from under the track 1 picture. Move the track 2 to the left side of the screen and likewise move the track 1 to the right side of the screen. You now have basically a PiP with one 0n the left and one on the right. Hope this helps. And do read the newsletter.
