Adobe Premiere Pro - How to do side by side video more effectively.

[LukeGraphic]

I'am editing a video. Where the whole trick is that we have 2 videos one in front and one in the back. And both of them need to be on the screen at the same time. But i need to switch attenton from one to another..

here is a video explenation on Vimeo 

So for every cut i need to resize manualy if there is a option where i can automate this that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance

What you could do is create two (multicam) edit sequences:

1. Create a sequence in which track 1 is the front video, track 2 is the back video. You may need to create two sequences of identical length (using a black video layer) first, so that they may be swapped out.

2. Determine the cut points, either by hand or with multicam feature

3. Copy sequence

4. Replace video in track 1 with source files track 2 and vice versa. Either use replace from bin or source monitor, or ALT+drag from project window to timeline.

5. Create a new sequence that will have both edited versions

5. Resize either of the tracks to the desired size.

Hope this helps.

An alternate method is to use four tracks:

V4: Resized and repositioned video 1

V3: Resized  and repositioned video 2

V2: Full size video 1

V1: Full size video 2

Then keyframe the opacity of each track.
