Screen splitting

Hallo everybody,
I would like to try a new method of presenting some parts of a move in my next project but I cannot find any information how to realize this.
In some movies you see that two ore more movies are presented at the same time which means that the screen is splitet into several smaller windows. Is this possible to realize with Premiere 6.5? If so can someone give me a hint how to do so?

1st, try going back to the main page for this forum and using the SEARCH link to look for
pip
or
picture in picture
Or, go to my
Adobe Notes
page and click the internal link for tutorials
I know one of the tutorial sites has information on pip

  • Screen splitting error and red boot screen

    Hi, I was using my macbook pro just now and the screen started to glitch and show black vertical bars and the displayed image was split up. I tried to see if there's an unresponsive program that i can force quit then the screen just turned grey and was stuck there.
    I then manually restarted the mac, it prompted me with a press button to continue booting up screen then it was stuck on the grey screen again.
    I tried to start in safe mode then it booted with a red screen and i believed did a system check. But I'm not sure. It then got stuck on the grey screen again.
    I rebooted the machine manually and then now it booted up fine.
    It has happened twice before. Once the split screen issue was solved by quitting Spotify and the second time similar events happened as described above.
    I have previously taken the mac to the genius bar and they ran a hardware check and found that everything was fine. Since I couldn't reproduce the error whilst being in the store they said there was nothing they could do.
    Update:
    The screen splitting issue has occurred at least twice since the event happened above. I have managed to collect another problem report which i can show in addition to the first one.
    I believe that there is a problem with the dedicated graphics card since whenever i use gfxCardStatus to switch to the AMD Radeon HD 6490M graphics card the screen splitting problem occurs. The problem also occurs when the machine automatically switches to the dedicated graphics card with things like Spotify, Google maps and other more intensive applications. Moreover, the second time the problem occurred when i was streaming a TV show and gfxCardStatus showed that the machine has switched to the dedicated Radeon card.
    I'm not sure what i can do about it right now other than trying not to use the dedicated graphics card.  Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks!
    If it helps, I've upgraded the ram myself previously. But that was a few years ago and didn't show any problems when i first installed it.
    It is an early 2011 Macbook Pro with OS X Mavericks 10.9.4
    The split screen issue looks like this:
    Apologies for the rotated image I don't know how to rotate it on the site.
    It also appears identical to the one shown here, three posts down: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15920113
    The problem report of the first event is shown here:

  • Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK

    Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

    Hi, Derek -
    ...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
    Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
    It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

  • Why is video screen split with two identical pictures?

  • After plugging my ipod into my mac mini, my screen split into 2 duplicate screens, one on top of the other. How do i make that go away?

    after plugging my ipod into my mac mini, my screen split into 2 duplicate screens, one on top of the other. How do i make that go away?

    I am not sure about everything, but there is something that may fix some of your problems. Go to System Preferences, and choose the "Universal Access" preference pane. In Universal Access, turn off VoiceOver, Zoom (seeing tab), Sticky Keys, Slow Keys (Keyboard tab), and Mouse Keys (Mouse tab). Make sure the "Enable access for assistive devices" checkbox, which is at the bottom of the preference pane. From there, look at other options and see if they are things you want turned off, or changed from how they are set. If you don't know what different options do, click on the help icon at the bottom left corner of the window. And if you are still baffled, ask here and someone will tell you what it does.
    If you use any of the universal access options or think they could be useful, feel free to leave them on.
    Also, go to the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane, choose the Keyboard Shortcuts tab, and make sure there are no strange keyboard shortcuts set that may interfere with the keys you are having issues with.
    Did you install any new software before this started happening, and if so, how many days before it started happening?
    Let us know if these tips get you anywhere.

  • Playbook Screen split brightness

    I bought my Playbook Thursday the 5th.  During some troubleshooting for another issue Thursday and Friday, at some point the playbook screen split down the center and the left side is brighter than the right (when the bb is oriented with the power and volume buttons at the top).  Adjusting the brightness in the Screen settings causes both sides to dim and brighten, with the left side always being brighter.  If I take a screenshot, the image created does not have the split.
    Does this sound more like a hardware issue and its likely the device needs to be replaced?  Is it possible that it's a software issue that could be resolved?

    First, please do a restart on the Playbook.
    Press and hold the power button a couple secdonds while pressing the Volume Up key and you will see an onscreen message to turn off or restart. Touch the Restart.
    After reboot, does the screen remain split in brightness?

  • 21.5 iMac screen splits repeatedly into multicolored dots, what to do?e

    Hi everyone,
    Operating system: Maxc OS X 10.6.8 - Graphics/displays: ATI Radeon HD 4670. My 21.5 inch screen Imac warranty coverage expired about 6 months ago. The screen split into square multicolored dots and purple lines half an hour after I had started watching a documentary. The sound remained but I couldn't exit; the mouse and keyboard were unresponsive. I had to restart by powering my computer off. Since, the same problem repeats whenever I have a video on; also sometimes pixels appear on the screen out of the blue. Any ideas on how to proceed? Thanks for your help!

    If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing.

  • Macbook pro Freezes, Screen splits into two half, scrambled..

    Hi,
    Just bought a new Macbook Pro 15.4, 2 Ghz i7 processor, AMD Raedon HD 6490M 256 Mb Video, 4 Gb Memory...
    After Three days, whenever I try to play a video, in quicktime or vlc or just load a video song on virtual dj,
    the screen just freezes and splits into two. The Force quit doesnt work.
    The only thing that works is "Hold the power button for three seconds."
    Please help..
    Thank you

    I have the same issue. This began before I installed Lion OSx. Happens randomly and not connected to any particular application. Here are some screen shots. It happens at least two times a day and is getting very frustrating. Taking it to the genius bar this weekend.
    All I can say is that it began after i applied some major updates (most probably the ones to fix the freeze issues that were cropping up on these new macbooks when they were launched). This is only my observation.
    MacBook Pro 2011 March (Thunderbolt) i7 - 2.2 GHz.

  • Elements 9 editor screen splits apart and desktop shows through the gap- Help

    I run elements 9. on a mac. Never really had a problem before. Today I decided to open a photo from iphoto to edit in photoshop. Neve been a problem
    before but now the various panels of the editor screen have split apart and the desktop shows through. The same thing happens when opening a photo from inside the Organiser. Hope someone can help to get it all back together.  At the time I was trying to design some Christmas cards.

    Thanks so much- I didn't realise it was an option-must have clicked it by mistake. I can see now how it can be used but the project box at the bottom is off the screen.

  • Screen split and distorted on macbook pro

    Hello! I've tried searching this but unfortunately there was a lot of vocabulary I couldn't understand.
    I have an early-2011 Macbook pro 15 inch (running os x 10.9.3), and have gone 3 years without any real problems that couldn't be fixed over the phone.
    Anyway, today I was online and suddenly the screen became distorted and split in half, with the right side of the webpage displaying on the left and the left on the right. (I have attached an image, blurred some things out for privacy but you should get the gist of it.)
    The only way I was able to stop this was to reboot my computer. The first time I was able to work with it a little and restart it using the drop-down menu, but the next time it was unresponsive and I had to shut it down manually.
    I've read some posts about people doing this multiple times and eventually after rebooting the system is unresponsive or simply does nothing. I have also heard that bringing the computer into the Apple store results in a ~$500 charge for a replacement of some sort (again, I'm sorry. Not too familiar with the technical lingo).
    My question is, should I bring my computer in to the Apple store as soon as I can or is there something I can do now to fix the issue? And what is causing this?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

    Hey there carebear,
    It looks like you are seeing some graphical oddities that are resolved temporarily when you restart the computer. I would use these troubleshooting steps specifically to help you resolve that, from this article:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • When I open iPhoto, the screen splits and has lines on it. Has it got a virus?

    I have had problems with my Macbook Pro recently. There has been several occassions where the screen looks like it is split in half and has fuzzy lines all over it, and I am unable to move the mouse or control anything. The only way I can get rid of it is to restart the Mac completely. This has never happened before and the Mac is only two years old. I have worked out that it may be due to iPhoto, as it seems to happen not long after I open the application. Could it be a virus? Or is it anything else?
    I have researched this lots but can't seem to find an answer.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.... I need my Mac so much, like we all do haha!

    This is not due to a virus, or any other kind of malware.
    Most likely, that's due to a hardware issue with your graphics card. You need to contact Apple for evaluation.

  • Dual screen | Split Code & Design

    I would like to code on my left screen and see the design on the right, which I thought was most of us developers preferred method, but I am not sure if CS5 can do this.
    To clarify: I handcode php files (templates) and I wish to see the live preview (design) on the right screen....
    Anybody?

    I don't see it as a hack.
    Everyone's got a preferred customised panel layout. This is just another one.
