Part 3. How to Split Screen on Android

Most new Android phones from over a dozen different manufacturers now allow you to run apps in split-screen mode, which lets you use and view them both at once. And it's easy to activate the split-screen mode. You should note, however, that running apps in split-screen mode can deplete your battery faster than running them normally. And not all apps can be run in split-screen mode - apps that require the full screen to function, like games, won't offer you the option. Now, let's see how you can split the screen on an Android phone, taking Samsung as an example.

Split View on Android

Step 1. From your Home screen, tap on the "Recent Apps" button in the bottom left corner, which is represented by three vertical lines in a square shape.

Step 2. In Recent Apps, locate the app you want to use in split-screen. Tap and hold on that app to open a menu. Keep in mind that some apps can't be used in split-screen.

Step 3. Once the menu has opened, tap on "Open in split-screen view". The app you selected will temporarily appear as a black bar on the top of the screen. Tap on the other app you want to use in split-screen.

Step 4. Your apps will now appear in split-screen, and you should be able to switch between the two of them seamlessly. They'll be separated by a black bar, similar to the one you saw in step 3.

Part 5. How to Split Screen in iMovie

iMovie is widely used by iOS system users. When using this APP, many people may want to open other applications as well. However, the only screen couldn't allow them to view two APPs at one time. Thus, many iMovie users would like to split their screens. We give you the operation steps below to help you split screen in iMovie. But note that you can only add two videos to the tracks, which means you can only display two videos at the same at most.

Split View in iMovie

Step 1. Drag and drop the video clips to the timeline.

Step 2. Go the overlay settings and then select the "Side by Side" option.

Step 3. If you need to crop or zoom in to make the side by side effect look better, you can use the Crop tool to adjust.

However, if you are using the iMovie 10 version, you will find the information above is not suitable. Thus, we give you a specific tutorial for iMovie ten below.

Step 1. Drag and drop the clips that you want to show at the same time to the timeline and make sure one is above another in the timeline.

Step 2. Click the "Video Overlay Settings" icon above the Viewer window and then select the "Split Screen" option from the drop-down box.

Step 3. You can now see the clips which have been cropped automatically in the Viewer window. You can select where the split-screen clips appear by selecting the target positions. iMovie allows you to add slide-in transitions and adjust the duration.

Conclusion

To sum up, if you want to view two videos at the same time, you may adjust the settings on your device. However, for Windows users, we recommend you to download EaseUS Video Editor because it can fully fulfill your needs. Besides, it can even do more than you required: edit and export the videos you want to view at the same time. The video exported includes the two original videos, and you can watch them in the meantime after exporting.
