Put two or more videos on one screen without rebuilding your edit. Start with a ready-made split-screen template and replace the media, or add a Multi-Frame effect directly to your timeline for more creative control.
What Can You Create with Filmora's Split Screen Video Editor?
Start with a ready-made template for a polished result in minutes, apply Multi-Frame effects to an existing edit, and fine-tune every detail to match your story and style.
Create Polished Split-Screen Videos in Minutes
Use a two-panel side-by-side layout for comparisons, picture-in-picture for reactions and tutorials, and multi-frame layouts for interviews, performances, collaborations, and multi-camera edits.
Turn Any Edit into a Dynamic Multi-Screen Video
Give existing footage a more dynamic, multi-angle look with Filmora’s Multi-Frame effects. Apply a split-screen effect to a clip, track, or compound clip, then bring multiple moments together in one frame without rebuilding your timeline.
Take Creative Control of Multi-Frame Effects
Set the pace of the effect, adjust which moments from your footage appear across the split-screen panels, and control how long the effect stays active on the timeline. Then layer in transitions, filters, and other effects for a richer multi-frame edit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I put two videos side by side in Filmora?
-
Choose a side-by-side template and replace its media, or apply a Multi-Frame effect to footage on your timeline. Adjust the framing, preview the result, and export.
- What is the difference between split-screen templates and Multi-Frame effects?
-
Templates are the fastest option: replace the media while keeping the designed layout and motion. Multi-Frame effects are more flexible because they work directly with an existing timeline and can be combined with other editing effects.
- Can I replace photos or videos in a split-screen template?
-
Yes. In Filmora V15.7.10, select a media slot in a supported Multi-Frame Layout template and replace it from the Properties panel. The template’s layout, rhythm, and animation remain in place.
- Can I add a split-screen effect to an existing edit?
-
Yes. Drag a Multi-Frame effect onto a supported clip, track, or compound clip. You can adjust its duration and the controls provided by that effect without rebuilding the project.
- How many videos can I show on one screen?
-
The number depends on the selected template or Multi-Frame effect. Choose a layout that matches the number of clips and the aspect ratio of your project.
