How do I creat a split screen effect in Vegas 5?

[mecg]

I found a tutorial for doing this in vegas 4 along with a somewhat crude explaination of how it's changed in Vegas 5. I've played quite a bit with the split screen, parent child settings, and the different types of composting. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I know I can do this with the track motion (and it works very well), but I can't have it begin and stop like I could with an "effect". Has anyone here actually done this in Vegas 5 succesfully?

I came across this in Sony's Knowledge Base. It does the trick.

"Question
I want to hold a transition in mid-travel to create a split-screen

Answer
The hold keyframe doesn't do this - it just eliminates any keyframe interpolation and 'cuts' between keyframe states. You can easily achieve the effect you want using Parent/Child Compositing along with Pan/Crop Event. You can also use this technique to create your own custom wipes. Steps:
Create 3 empty video tracks
Put your video shots on tracks 2 and 3.
Put a "Solid Color Media Generator" on track 1. Use white for a color.
Make Track 1 the Parent of track 2. This makes track 1 the "mask" (keyshape)for track 2.
Adjusting the "Event Pan/Crop" settings of the Solid Color event in Track 1 will allow you do do the split screen effect. In the Pan/ Crop window try pulling the right edge (only the right edge - leave all the others in place) way out to the right and you'll see the results instantly. A couple of keyframes and you're there.
You can try different media for masks in track one - rectangles, triangles, high-contrast images - anything. This allows you to have unlimited wipe patterns as well as many customizable mask effects.
Vegas 5.0 added Transition Progress Envelopes, which let you do things like this very easily. You can simply turn on the envelope within the transition and set it to hold throughout."
