Combine 4 videos to one timeline, one video, not continuous....

[penquin]

I'm trying to figure out a way to show 4 videos simultaneously.
1st video on the top left of screen, 2nd on top right, 3rd bottom left, 4th bottom right.

I have 4 surveillance videos in avi format from different angles and I'd like to show the entire event at the same time instead of showing each video separate. Anyone know of a way to do this?

Better yet can I split the screen into 6 videos? 9 videos? I don't want to get ahead of myself here...

video editing software can composite them into 1 video.

Moved to the editing thread where you can get more help.

Use the "Track Motion" tool in Sony Vegas.

All versions have this, even the cheapest one. If you're tight for money, they all have a full functioning 30 day trial.

The basic concept is that you scale down each video and position it as needed. This is done on each track using the preview window as a guide.

Let's say your project is 1280X720, and you want to put four videos stacked in a square, so each video resize would be 640X360.
