Create a split screen video with two or more clips by dragging and dropping them into a new Descript project. Then pick your split screen layout, tweak the look, edit as needed, and export when you’re set.
You can split video files into two screens by using split-track recording software during recording or by copying a single video, then cropping and trimming it until there are multiple screens in the same frame.
