Split screen and picture in picture
Two things on screen means the layout has to be deliberate.
Workflow
- Stacked (vertical): each clip on its own track,
applyLayout"split-top" on one and "split-bottom" on the other: mask, position and cover-fit in one command, no bars. - Side by side: each clip
updateClipscale about 0.5 with an x offset left and right (origin is the canvas CENTRE, +y is DOWN),setMaskrectangle to trim spill. - Picture in picture / facecam: the overlay on a later track (it draws on top),
updateClipscale about 0.28 into a corner,cornerRadiusfor softness, clear of captions and the action. OrapplyLayout"framed". - Audio hierarchy is the whole job: the reactor's voice sits ON TOP.
autoDuckthe source under the commentary and level the voice (setAudiocompress). - Captions for the commentary, placed where neither pane is obscured.
- Keep both panes visible the whole time unless a moment justifies going full screen on one; cut to the reaction only when there IS a reaction.
Gotchas
- Tracks later in the document's track list draw above earlier ones. An overlay on an earlier track is buried under the full-frame clip.
applyLayoutassumes 16:9 media whenmediaWidth/mediaHeightare not passed; pass them for portrait sources.- Check every pane on preview frames: faces must not be cropped by the mask.
