Divided screen effect. How to do it?

[John-michael Seng-wheeler]

If I wanted to replicate that exact effect, here’s how I’d do it.

1) Create two sequences. Drop a single clip (any clip) into one of the sequences. Stick another clip down the timeline at your estimated duration. These clips are just placeholders, you’ll edit the video at the end. We’ll call this sequence with the two clips in it “A”.

2) Open Sequence B and place 4 copies of sequence A in Sequence B one on top of the other.

3) Apply a Garbage matte to each copy of sequence A and crop each one to make a window.

4) apply color correction to the Sequences.

5) stick your logo on the track above the four copies of sequence A and place it over the top left window.

6) Now open up sequence A again and edit your video. Switch back to sequence B to view the affect!

Hi!

Thanks for reply, but your way works only, If you have a single footage, and you want to just crop it into windows. What when you want to have different footage in different windows?

Create more sequences?

Multipal sequences is probably the best way to go about this is in Premiere. I tested other ideas just now but nothing was any easer.

Also, a point forgot about before. Garbage mattes don’t give you edge controll, so chances are you will find the edges too hard. So, insted of putting the Garbage Matte on the sequence, stick a pure white clip on a track above each sequence and apply the garbage matte to that. Then apply a track matte effect the the sequence. This will allow you to apply a gaussian blur to the white clip under the garbage matte and blur the edges of the square.
