Is it possible to do a split screen in imovie?

im basically trying to film myself having a conversation with myself on the same screen. with one of me on the left side of the screen and another me with a different outfit on the right side of the screen. is it possible to do such a thing? thank you all for any help and advice

Hi
No not in iMovie'08 - or Picture in Picture either.
Some can be done in iMovie HD 6 if You buy third part plug-ins. BUT
This is really something that are EASY in FinalCut Express and You get so much more.
Some might be done in QuickTime pro. But as I figure - it isn't so easy.

How do use split screen on iMovie on a iPhone 5 ?

Hello I want to use a split screen on imove on my iphone5 , I want to play more than 1 video at once . I want to use this for when I play guitar I can have 2 at once . Please help !

It does not function the same as windows, in that it does not have an automatic snap function. You can put multiple apps up side by side though. You might want to consider using Spaces instead.

Thanks Jerry,
This is the first strike against Numbers as compared to Excel. Very nice feature for my use.

If you work at it you will find hundreds of strikes, compared to Excel. Heck, there are about fifty strikes just compared to the previous version of Numbers. You have to use the app that suits your style, or change your style.

Is split screen editing possible in FCP X?

Is split screen editing possible in FCP X?
Many thanks!
KJ

mk,
I just searched the FCPX manual in pdf and there is no mention of side by side or picture in picture. So I created it in iMovie and brought into FCPX and got the inspector info. Guess what, it is now called Crop and Transform. And it works very well. You could have any size video in the frame anywhere you wanted it to be. With key frames you could fly them around, I think.
Hope this helps. I was counting on being able to do this with synced music video takes.

Is split screen possible on iMovie HD?

I've just been fooling around with version 5.0.2 and I can't find any way to do a split screen effect. Is it possible to combine too clips together in any way other than a transition such as a wipe?

Yes, as Bengt describes. Here is how to do it in Quicktime Pro:
Organise the video clips and/or stills that you want to superimpose on to your main video clip, by having these in separate, individual iMovie projects (no matter how small). It helps if these are in the exact length/time you want later.
Now start with the clip in your iMovie project on to which you want to superimpose one of more smaller video clips or stills. Lets call it Main Clip. Export this (share) to Quicktime Pro in DV (full quality). make sure it has the same aspect as before (Quicktime tends to default to 4:3. If you want 16:9, read on).
In Quicktime, with this project open, select File ~ Open File. Select the iMovie file (in your movies folder) of the first clip/still you want superimposed. This will open in its own QT window. Select Edit ~ copy. If it is a movie clip then select all ~ copy (or you will only get one frame!). Switch back to the Main Clip window, and click in the scroll bar where you want the extra clip/still to appear. Choose Edit ~ Add to Movie.
You can repeat this as many times as you like, if you want to build a 'Video Wall', i.e. have several superimposed clips/stills on the same Main Clip.
Do not worry that the new clip overlaps or covers up the Main Clip, at this stage.
Choose Window ~ Show Movie Properties. The Properties Dialogue appears.
You will see a list of video (and audio) tracks. Track one will be the Main Clip, track 2 your new added (superimposed) clip. Click track 2, then click visual settings. From the Scaled Size pop-op menu, choose percent. Then type 50 into the first box. If Preserve Aspect Ratio is turned on you won't need to type 50 into the second box. You have made the pasted footage appear at one quarter its original size. The inset is now hugging the top-left corner of the Main Clip. If you want, you can type numbers into the Offset Boxes to shove it away from that corner (there are 72 pixels to the inch).
If your original Main Clip was required in 16:9, unclick (de-select) Preserve Aspect Ratio, and type in 1920 in the first box, and 1080 in the second, in Video Track 1. This will not affect video track 2, but if that is also wanred in 16:9 repeat for that track.
You can superimpose, 3, 4, or more such 'overlaps' on the same clip, and spend a happy afternoon tapping away for each track in the Offset Boxes until you have got them all in the right place! You can even overlap them, if you can remember (or note down - hire a secretary to take notes) which track you want on top etc.
Save the completed QT file. Import the completed file into a new iMovie project. Import this into the original iMovie project, substituting the old clip you copied to QT as Main Clip for the new fancy clip you have made.
You will probably need to experiment a bit with the above. I know, it took me two days to master it the first time. Result: in the Wedding Video I made, during the Best Man's speech, he is relating a story about his brother (the groom) breaking his surfboard in half and swearing at the Atlantic Ocean whilst hitting it with his broken surfboard. While he is saying all that a superimposed video appears of the groom doing exactly that - a video I took 14 years previously! Moreover, the wedding video is in 16:9, but the inset clip is in its original 4:3 aspect!
Cool or what!
Have fun!

Split Screen. Is it possible?

Would love to be able to run multiple video streams at the same time. Other than picture in picture, which is very limiting, are there any other ways to have several movies playing at the same time within one picture. I got the feeling I know the answer. This would make editing so much fun, especially if you have two cameras.

Two cameras isn't a problem for imovie, but to do the split screen and other things you want to do I'd take a look at Final Cut Express.

Clean split screen

i am working on a project and i'm having a split screen. i've done the split screen with (crop and scale) on FCP but after i do that the video seems to have fuzzy edges. i've noticed on my external viewing monitor. what do i do to clean up the edges of the film to make it look better. thanks!

It is possible to add your own web pages to the Help database. As with all things hackish, you should work on a copy in case it gets out of whack.
Go to Library > Documentation > Help > Machelp.help and control-click to show package contents. Got to Contents > English.lproj and you will find lots of web pages. After you make a new page, you'll need to add keyword matches to the ExactMatch.plist as well as meta tags to the HTML source of the page. It's not an easy method so unless you want to add Help topics for an organization, forget it.
When I did support for Dell, I found their support documents a bit meager and those from Microsoft very archanely searchable so I made web pages for all my notes and bookmarked them in Netscape. Many other technicians at Dell asked for copies to add to their Netscape (IE was lame in this respect).

Split-screen menus: do you find them useful?

Hi all,
this post could be a reminder for Apple, for the next firmware update.
This depends on you, that's why i'm asking you people:
do you find the split-screen menus useful?
Would you appreciate the possibility of turning them off?
Excluding the usual problems with iTunes, my ipod 160 is working very good. The only annoying this is the gap for loading the previews in the split-screen.
Thank you

I quite like the whole split screen thing as it happens. It probably helps that I've got album art for every track. I agree, however, that it would be nice to have an option to turn it off for those that don't like it.
What would be really cool though is if you could play an album you've just spotted on right-hand side of the screen. E.g. Play in split screen opens the displayed album. Left & right clicks go forward & backwards in the random album order that was generated, in case you spot somthing that interests you as it vanishes off screen. The wheel, menu & center click would continue to provide for selecting music in the traditional fashion.
Agree with comments on the clock. I'd like an option to leave the screen alone and just turn off the backlight. Backlight delay needs to be fixed. IFRC 30secs setting still turns off after 20 secs. What about an option to maintain backlight at lower (selectable) brightness for a user selectable number of minutes?

But now I want only one scroll bar for both of then so that when the scroll bar is used both the screens will simultaneously move.
Is this functionality possible ?
If yes can anyone help me out ?

Create a property node for each of the charts. Wire the controlling chart X scale maximum and minimum to the slave X scale max and min. (X Scale -> Range -> Max & Min).
Hope this helps.

Split Screen Macbook Pro and Cable TV

Is it possible to split screen my hdtv to mirror my macbook pro on one side and my cable tv on another using Apple TV? I read on one thread that it's possible to mirror my macbook pro split screen with netflix, but I'm not sure if this functionality is limited only to Apple TV built in apps.

No that is not possible

IPODS AND SPLIT SCREENS

I have Premiere Elements 4.0. Is there any way to be able to take music off Ipod's or CD's and put them on your computer in your project to edit with? We have tried, but are not having any luck. I know they need to me in MP3 form. Is there anything to do with MP4 forms to get them on the computer and usuable? Also, how do you create a split screen in projects? Thanks!

You can "rip" the Audio from a CD and bring that into PE to use as an Asset.
If the Audio is already on a CD, then any ripping software can extract (rip) the files. I would work with PCM/WAV 44.1 KHz 16-bit files, and not MP3's, as there *can* be problems with the latter. PE will conform the 44.1 KHz material to 48 KHz 16-bit for you. This might take a second, when you Import the WAV file, so let it complete that operation. PE will generate a CFA and a PEK file for the Audio. The latter is the Waveform Display file. There will likely be a little blue progress bar at the lower-right edge of your GUI. The freeware Audio editor, Audacity, will do this for you. I happen to use Adobe Audition, as it offers much more power and control, but that would be overkill for most people's needs.
Now, if the music is on an iPod, you'll want to go into iTunes (the copy that is synced to that iPod) and create a Playlist containing the music that you want. You will then burn that Playlist to a CD from within iTunes. This will yield the files in CDA format on the CD and you'll follow the instructions above. Though the music is going from the iTunes compressed format to CDA and then is ripped to WAV, you will NOT restore the file to an uncompressed form, though the file you'll get will be uncompressed. Once iTunes has compressed the music file initially, the "damage" has been done. It will never be as good as the source file that Apple created their m4p file from.
If the music is just on an iPod and you do not have access to the synced iTunes program, there is a utility called iGadget, that will extract the music from the iPod. There is a free version, plus a paid version. I think that the main difference is that the free version does it one song at a time, where the paid version allows for multiple files to be off-loaded at once. I am not overly familiar with iGadget. You will sitll need a copy of iTunes to do the CD burning from a Playlist. IIRC, iTunes will allow up to 7 burns from a Playlist. With older versions of that program, one could create different Playlists to get around that 7 copy limit. I *think* that the newer versions plug that loophole, but am not sure.
If at all possible, I'd not use MP3 format. Some of those files work, but some do not. Embedded "Album Art" has been cited as a possible cause for the failure of some of the MP3's. Also, MP3 is heavily compressed. Going back to as close to the source, as is possible, will yield better Audio.
If I only have an MP3 file, I always convert to PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit, outside of my NLE program, i.e. PE, or PrPro. Again, I use Audition for this, but Audacity should work fine too. Remember, once compressed, you will never be able to fully restore the lost quality of the file. Just do not compress any more by going from an m4p to an MP3 format, as you will loose even more fidelity.
There was a good step-by-step for working with iTunes, in the FAQ's section. However, I do not think that those have been restored, since the forum redo. My steps above are basically an abstract of the info in the FAQ's.
Good luck,
Hunt

4 player split screen games with online modes?

Hey guys! I am looking for a game with a 4 player split screen possibility AND a online possibility.I organise gamenights with 2 screens, 2 ps3's, 8 controllers and 8 players.I think the only game i found is Black Ops 2 (zombie mode with 2 teams). I'm not sure, can somebody confirm this?I have enough games for 4 players on 1 screen (Diablo III, Tekken TT 2, LBPlanet 2,...), but now i'm looking for games with an online game mode. I hope somebody can help me!Thanks!

Do I REALLY have to use 3 tracks, a gradient and composite modes just for (what should be) a simple effect?
Why do you think using 3 tracks isn't simple?
The quickest way would be to create a vertical divider by using a color matte, cropped and feathered or make one in Photoshop and place it on V3.

Split screen causes artifacting in images - what is the solution?

After creating a four image split screen (two frames on top, two frames on the bottom), the images in each box suffer from extreme artifacting. By that I mean the images breaks down. For example, grass that in the original images is clearly and cleanly visible, suddenly becomes very "noisy" once I have added it to the split screen.
I have gone through several attempted solutions, but have all failed to solve the problem.
The degradation is most noticable when I export to a Mpeg2 and burn to a DVD, but I have eliminated the possibility that it is breaking down in the Mpeg2 conversion. Instead, it seems to be happening within Final Cut Pro.
Can anyone offer suggestions that might help?

Patrick. Thanks very much for jumping in.
For clarification, the images in the split screens are not photos. They are films. Four films in four boxes playing on the screen at the same time. Therefore, correct me if I'm wrong, your Photoshop advice doesn't work here. Also, I do not have Motion.
I took a look at the suggestion in your final paragraph. I have Final Cut Pro HD 4.5, but nevertheless went through your suggested workflow. Ctrl-clicked on the sequence - selected settings - clicked on the Video Processing tab. I don't have a sampling setting as you indicate per se, but I did try changing the only apparently appropriate setting in FCP 4.5, which was to change from Render in 8-bit YUV to Render all YUV material in High Precision YUV. This took twice as long to render the sequence, but unfortunately had no positive effect.
So, I am still in the position of having 4 great looking videos sequences, that I am trying to combine into one 4-squared split screen, but when I do so each of the four sequences deteriorates substantially.
Do you have any other suggestions? I would be grateful for your experience.

How to get split screen on Lenovo Yoga Pro 2?

Hi! I recently purchased a lenovo pro 2 and I am loving it. Just one quick question, though. I know your able to have split screen (two completely separate windows on the same display, i.e have Google Chrome on the right half of the screen, and say Word on the other half of the screen). And I am not talking about Windows Snap Window feature. I thought this was possible to do but have no clue on how to activate it. Thanks for any help in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

split screen only works on metro apps. you need to use the snap for desktop apps. You can run Metro IE and split screen it with MS Word.
