How to make grids

This is a guide on how to align and display multiple videos side by side in a single output video, you may want to read the guide on simple clipping first: Simple Clipping Guide

To make a simple 3 column combined grid, first select 3 subclips from your source videos, they should be about the same length.

When they are selected you can go to the filters tab and crop them, this usually helps make a more dramatic and focused final video, to crop drag a box on the playing video.

And click 'Add filter' on the left hand pane, a crop filter will be added that matches the box you dragged out.

Whene they're all sized as you'd like them to be go to the encode tab and you should see previews of the final cropped subclips at the top.

By default the program will export these as individual clips, we want to select the 'Grid' merge style from the dropdown at the top.

That gives us a button a little further down the page to add columns to the layout, click it 3 times to add 3 columns.

Select a column by clicking 'Select' and then click 'Add to sequence' right below the subclip preview you'd like to appear in that column.

When they're all added you can choose how to handle the audio, by default it mixes them all together, but we'll select only to use the audio from the selected column.

That's it, we can now encode and output our side by side grid:

It's not limited to a single video per column, we can be more creative and the program will balance everything as needed:
