I sent my project to NCH support. They said it worked fine with them. This told me that either my computer had a malfunction or 11.97 had a bug. I upgraded to 16.09. Problem solved. Apparently that was a bug in 11.97 and the support staff was not aware of it. Thank you Borate!

Thank you Borate. I have now received a reply from NCH tech-support. they have provided some instructions and between what you told me and they told me I now understand what is supposed to happen. I also now understand why I was confused. Something seems to be not working as designed when I select the A Window of a Horitzontal 2. No matter what I do, or position the window, all I see is checkerboard. When I select the B Window, it frames and displays as I would expect it. I sent the information to support and am waiting for a response. I will report back here when there is progress.

Thank you. Maybe I'm stupid but I couldn't figure out the UI on the split screen effect. All I could see was checkerboard and some dotted lines. I tried playing around with them, to no avail. I've asked NCH if they have a video tutorial for split screen; waiting for reply. The videos I saw (not by NCH) on YT are just junk. Meantime, I was able to combine two effects, CROP, and POSITION (and using overlay as you suggested) to accomplish the result. Thank you so much!

Sounds like a good answer. I will give it a shot. thank you! I am glad to hear that split screen will also allow me to crop. That is just the kind of thing I was hoping for, one effect that does everything I need to get the output I want.

Hi folks, I'm seeking some advice from more experienced folks please. I have a Zoom meeting recording of an interview with two talking heads, side-by-side. I have re-recorded the host only. I want to take the guest only from the Zoom recording, place their clip on the left side of my screen. Then take my re-recording of the host and put it on the right side of my screen. What is the most efficient set of effects to use to do all this? TIA, Steve
