    Posted by Chris Norris on April 1, 2008 at 11:34 pm

    I Downloaded the trial, and it looks ok (even though im not used to it) but i want to make movies on the same screen, like side by side, if we are comparing something. I figured out how to , whats it called over lap movies, make it fade away to another one, but i want the two movies on the same screen please help☺☺☺

    You need to place each video on it’s own track and then use either Pan/Crop or Track Motion to shrink and re-position each clip.
    I know the full version of Vegas has both of these features but I’m not sure about Movie Studio.

    Take a look at Edward Troxel’s free newsletters (PDF format).
    PIP (Picture In Picture (what you want to do) using Track Motion is covered in Vol. 1 # 2, 3 & 4.
    Pan/Crop is covered in Vol. 1 #8.
    Some of the functions will only be applicable to the full version of vegas but there are enough similarities so that you should be able to figure things out.

    Click the crop icon found on every video clip. If you don’t see it, then visit VIEW/Event Event buttons. Or, right click the event/clip and choose pan/crop from there.
    You can do this easily with Track motion, moving one to one side, and one to the other side, or even partially overlaying them diagonally, shrinking them down in Track Motion so that you can fit them both on the screen at full frame value.
    If you keep having problems, drop me a note, I’ll build it for you in Movie Studio

    Or, you can buy one of my many books on Vegas, buy one of my training DVDs on Vegas, visit my Youtube pages (this topic is exactly discussed in a free youtube video), or you can come to a Vegas training session. 🙂
