You are an excellent teacher. Final Cut makes multi screen way more complicated than it should be. Good Lord!

I come back to your videos regularly to relearn these types of concepts. That’s why I watch every single one even if I know I won’t use it right away - I know that when I need it, Serge will have it!

One of your best tutorial Serge.

What kinds of videos do you focus your editing skills on?

[MikeBeltracchi]

I created a split screen on my computer in FCP using your directions and it worked great. I have a narrator on the left side - to take it one step further, I want to vary the content on the right side of the screen. I thought it would be as simple as Blading the right clip and adding new content to the new clip. However, when I do that, for some reason, it also adds the same content to the original clip that is to the left of it. I'm going to keep working on it, but I'm missing something, probably very simple!

[Imlloydserrano]

Hi Serge thank you sharing your knowledge. Quick question how come every time I do the slips screen the timing doesn't match. Is there anything to do it so it match the timing on both screen?

[moviegurrl]

Helpful tutorial! QUESTION: I'd like the split between my videos to be softer, sort of a fade, rather than a harsh line. Is there an easy way to do that?

[ntangaramugondo]

Nice. How do I split vertically to have 1 clip on top of the other
