Free Split-Screen Video Editor

Movavi Video Editor is a practical split-screen video maker and a reliable way to make split-screen videos on your Windows PC or Mac without turning the process into a technical hobby. It’s built for the kind of editing people actually do, especially if you’re wondering how to put 2 videos side by side for comparisons, reaction-style setups, tutorial footage with a second angle, or a simple “before/after” that doesn’t look like a rushed collage.

What works here is how visual it feels. You’re not stuck guessing numbers or digging through settings to place clips. Movavi Video Editor lets you arrange footage directly in the preview, so you can size, align, and balance each frame until it looks right. If one video needs to be dominant and the other is more of a supporting player, that’s easy to manage and you can shape a clean side-by-side video layout instead of something cramped.

Beyond split-screen itself, Movavi Video Editor has the extras that make the final video feel finished: titles, transitions, overlays, and quick adjustments that help match two clips so they don’t look like they came from different planets. Audio tools also matter more than people think in split-screen, and the editor makes it simple to keep voices clear, reduce distractions, and avoid that “one clip is twice as loud” problem.

Launch Movavi Video Editor and add the videos you want to combine. Drag them onto the timeline so each clip sits on its own track and can be adjusted independently.

Place one clip on the main track and position the second clip above it. Make sure both clips overlap in time so they can appear on the screen together.

Select the second clip on the timeline, click Tools, and open the Position settings. This section controls how multiple videos are arranged inside the frame.

Pick a layout that divides the frame into equal or uneven sections. You can place videos next to each other, stack them vertically, or display several clips at once within the same screen.

Fine-tune the size and position of each clip in the preview window, then preview the result. Click the Export button, choose your export settings, and save the finished split-screen video.
