How do I put two videos side by side?
Stack the two clips on separate timeline tracks, then scale and position each to fill half the frame — left/right for widescreen comparisons, top/bottom for vertical reaction-style videos. In EseCut you drag each clip's transform handles directly on the canvas, so lining them up takes seconds, and each clip keeps its own timing and audio controls.
Two polish details: mute one clip's audio (two soundtracks fighting is the most common split-screen mistake), and if the clips have different aspect ratios, crop them to matching shapes first so the seam between them is clean.
