side by side

[rawdesigns]

How would you achieve this input? I Photoshop and added the 2nd clip on a double wide input (see image). I dont want it mirrored I want the two clips side by side so i have more screen real estate to map on for a dual output. Thanks!

I usually position the layers (position X) I want on the left side to -compWidth/4 and the right side to +compWidth/4
and drop a crop effect on the layer after the transformation with left/right slider set to 0.5 to make sure mí content doesn't bleed thru to the other side of the composition.

is there a way to do this in the composition so it will go across all decks and clips?

[Zoltán]

yes, this is done in the composition via the Layer Transform controls.

maybe i'm not understanding your instructions. it doesn't seem to duplicate :/

[Zoltán]

you wrote you don't want it mirrored, I thought you don't want a duplicate.

so then in a top layer you'd place a layer router, positioned right by half composition width.
and the other layers to the left as I wrote above.

just guessing, you need the mirror, because in the advanced output you have many slices?
you know you can collapse a screen and then it's slices are not shown, so you don't clock on them accidentally.

got it to work! except you need to have that layer router always active and then add slide to every clips and yeah its a mess. is there just a simple way to add a side by side effect in the whole composition?

[Zoltán]

exactly.

Could you describe your problem in more depth, why you need the duplicate?
maybe we are looking at the wrong end of the problem.
coluld you maybe add a screenshot of the problem?

On the comp, add a Slide effect with an X offset of 0.25 to place everything on the right side. Then add another Slide effect with an X offset of 0.5 to place it on the left.

Now the magic part: hold down alt and drag the opacity of the second Slide effect back by just one notch.

I cant believe it was that simple

Thanks Joris!
