Split screen?!?

USLatin

Panamaniac
HERE is an example of what I'd like to be able to do in vegas... split the screen
and then move the clips... (about 41 seconds into it) does anyone know how?
 
Make each clip on there seperate track then use the crop function and dont forgett to use keyframes.
 
I am sorry, but I am kinds brand new to editing... I've been in editing sessions many times and I have the basics down and cutting away, but I still don't know all the words and jargon and what not... what is a keyframe?

Thats something that help you control what happends on every single frame. I take some time to get used to it.

Test click on the crop function then u will se a keyframe timeline where you could add different keyframes.
 
USLatin > a keyframe is a marked moment in time. Thats all. For example (this applies to video editing and 3d applications such as 3ds max in general) you move the slider in a pan and crop window to a certain moment in time lets say 30 secs from the begining of the video. Then you do some change in the window. This might be a pan and crop window or it might be a video fx window. But whatever change you make gets recorded at the location your blinking line is standing at (in our example 30 secs later). Eg. Try adding a brightness video effect to a clip. Youll get a window exclusive to that effects application to your clip having its own small timeline. So if your clip is 1 minute long then the small timeline that your seeing in the brghtness effect window is a 1 minute timeline. You move that mini-timline's cursor to 30 secs later. Then probably make the brightness effect brighter (by moving its slider). Now what happens is youve created a keyframe. A change in parameters at that moment of time. You will also see this keyframe as a small diamond which will appear at the spot where the blinking line is standing (ie. @ 30 secs as per our example). Keep in mind, all this is happening only in our brightness fx mini-timeline. Now when you play the said clip from the begining the software will interpolate between the parameter you started with (@ 0 secs) right upto the 30 sec keyframe you created. It will move the parameter you changed to match the one you set at that key frame. So our hypothetical brightness parameter (that you changed @30 secs) would slowly increase to the mark you set it at 30 secs. Now it will stay there unless you create more key frames at later times on that timeline to maybe lower the values. Or even many keyframes to create erratic fluctuations. I hope this is clear for you. :)
