Presenting Multiple Movies in the Same Window
You can place multiple video tracks in the same window to play movies side by side or to create a picture-within-a-picture effect.
To present multiple movies in the same window:
- In QuickTime Player, choose Edit > Select All to select the entire contents of the first movie.
- Choose Edit > Copy, then open the second movie.
- Move the playhead to the point at which you want the first movie to begin playing (usually the beginning or end of the original movie), and choose Edit > "Add to Movie."
- Choose Window > Show Movie Properties, select the new video track, and click Visual Settings.
- Use the Current Size and Layer controls to set the new video to a desired size and layer (layers with lower numbers are farther forward, or more "on top").
For example, for a picture-within-a-picture effect, with the added movie inside the original movie, make the new movie smaller and assign it a lower layer number.
