How to play two clips at once
I know that sounds a little confusing but I was wondering how you could play two clips at once so that it appears to be only one clip that is playing? For example, let’s just say you have a clip of a little girl playing soccer. Then you have a clip of a little boy playing soccer too, and you want to merge those together so that it looks like the boy and the girl are playing soccer together.

Put the little girl on track 1 and the little boy on track 2.
Now lower the opacity of track 1 as desired.
If you’re not sure how, move the cursor to the top of the event frame. You’ll see the pointer change to a finger and say “Opacity is 100%”. Click and drag the finger down as required. -
I think I phrased my problem wrong. I want the clips to play at the exact same time but cut so that it looks like the little boy and the little girl are playing soccer on the exact same field as if the video was shot with the boy and the girl together, not looking as if two different scenes were playing at once. Can anyone help me with that? I’ve seen people do it with Sony Vegas 6.0 before, and I just want to know how.

SPLIT SCREEN sounds like the thing you want-check out Edward Troxels newletters (link is below his name which is on every one of his posts) Vol 3 Number 1 is one issue that comes to mind that is full of info on doing SPLIT SCREEN

Put one clip on track 1. Put the other clip on Track 2.
Use the Pan/Crop tool on the upper clip to “cut off” approximately half the picture, allowing the first image to show through in that area.
I’m assuming that you used a stationary camera, and confined the boy to one half of the image and the girl to the other half…
