How do I do side by side interview style video in FCPX?

Question

Are there any tutorials on how to do this?
I have footage from two cameras.
Ideally I want to switch between:
- camera 1
- camera 2
- a split screen view of both.
Thanks!

It works just like any other Drop Zone effect. 
- Select the clip in the timeline, apply my effect to it. 
- In the Inspector, in the Video section, in the Effects block you'll see the effect.  You'll see a drop zone. 
- Click on it, and you'll be prompted with a two-up in the Viewer. 
- Just click in the Browser or Timeline on the clip you want to add.
- Then click the "Apply Clip" button.
Tip; if you use the Sweep control, be very subtle with it for the most profound effect.  Sort of like you want the sweep effect without it being the center of attention, almost unnoticed. 
And I want to say here, that I NEVER thought of doing this with an edited Multiclip in a Timeline.  But, here you have it, works just like any other clip!  (Thanks to my buddies at Ripple Training, that's their Multiclip tutorial I'm using in the screen shot.)
