How to Create Split Screen and Picture in Picture in Instagram Edits
There's no dedicated split-screen tool in the
Instagram Edits app. But you don't need one.
In this video I'm showing you how to build split
screen and picture in picture layouts from scratch
using overlay, crop and transform, so you
understand the method and can create any variation
you want, not just the ones a tool allows.
In this video I'm covering:
✦ The method
Overlay, crop and transform working together —
understand this and you can build anything
✦ Layering Videos on different tracks
Two clips playing simultaneously
✦ Picture in picture layouts
Top third and lower two thirds different crop ratios, same method
✦ Timing both clips
Aligning start and end points on the timeline
so both clips play cleanly together
✦ Creative variations
Different ratios, positions and ideas once
you know the method
