Side-by-Side
Side-by-Side is a two-layer scene that splits the screen horizontally — each source gets 50% of the frame.
Creating a side-by-side scene
- Open the Scenes panel
- Tap Create Scene
- Select Side-by-Side
- Name the scene (e.g., “Two-Person Interview”)
- Assign sources:
- Layer 1 (left): First source
- Layer 2 (right): Second source
Default layout
- Layer 1: Left half —
(0, 0, 0.495, 1) - Layer 2: Right half —
(0.505, 0, 0.495, 1)
A 1% gap separates the two halves.
Common use cases
- Two-person interviews — One camera per person
- Before/after comparisons — Two versions of content side by side
- Dual camera angles — Two views of the same event
- Remote guests — Host on one side, remote guest on the other
Variations
You can customize the split ratio by editing the layer frames:
| Layout | Layer 1 | Layer 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 50/50 (default) | (0, 0, 0.495, 1) |
(0.505, 0, 0.495, 1) |
| 60/40 | (0, 0, 0.595, 1) |
(0.605, 0, 0.395, 1) |
| 70/30 | (0, 0, 0.695, 1) |
(0.705, 0, 0.295, 1) |
Use a wider split for the primary speaker or content, and a narrower panel for the secondary view.
Tips
- Same framing — Try to frame both subjects similarly (head-and-shoulders) for a balanced look
- Use Stacked Vertical instead if your sources are vertical (e.g., phone cameras in portrait mode)
- Transition in — Switch from a full-screen single camera to the side-by-side scene to introduce the second person
