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

  1. Open the Scenes panel
  2. Tap Create Scene
  3. Select Side-by-Side
  4. Name the scene (e.g., “Two-Person Interview”)
  5. 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
