Hey, is it possible to play two videos (or tracks or sequences) at the same time in the preview window? As an editor I have a video to replicate, and I find extremely hard to replicating it via lowering the opacity or enabling/disabling clips endlessly. Thank you!
PS. I've tried MultiCam but I have multiple small clips, so it doesn't work simply by nesting clips and enabling multicam.

Yep – you should load the video you want to compare to into the Source Monitor and put the playhead at the beginning. Then in your timeline put the playhead at the beginning. Then go to the wrench menu in the program monitor and turn on "Gang Source and Program monitor". This will keep the playhead in each in sync making it easy to compare.

Thanks for replying Matt! What do you mean by loading the video in the source monitor? Can you dive into details on how I can achieve that? Thanks again! 🙂

@Roberto39070155hepr You can double click a clip in your Project panel and it will open in the Source Monitor. Depending on how your workspace is set up, you may have the Source Monitor and Program Monitor as two tabs in one single group. You can switch to the Editing workspace (Window menu > Workspaces > Editing) and that will have Source and Program Monitor side by side like you see in my screenshot.
So the idea is you can load your example reference clip into Source Monitor (just double click it in the Project panel) then have your timeline open in the Program Monitor side by side like my screenshot, then go to the little Wrench button in either monitor and choose "Gang Source and Program" which will lock their playheads to move in sync.
