## Definition

Split screen is a video editing technique that divides the frame into two or more sections, each showing different footage simultaneously.

## Extended Definition

Split screen is used for reaction videos, side-by-side comparisons, before/after reveals, and multi-angle coverage. On platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels, split screen duets have become a native content format. The technique requires careful alignment of timing and audio between the segments. In professional editing, split screens can include animated transitions between sections, picture-in-picture overlays, and dynamic resizing. BlitzReels supports split screen layouts through its timeline editor, allowing creators to layer multiple video tracks and position them within the frame.
