How do I stack two videos on top of each other?

3 min read · Updated October 30, 2026

Choose a main video for the top and a second one for the bottom, fit both into a vertical frame, and keep one soundtrack. Zlayo's Split Screen tool does the layout for you.

Pairings people use

  • Commentary on top, looping footage underneath.
  • A talking clip above a recipe, craft or game.
  • Two reactions to the same moment.

Tips

  • Let only one half carry the sound.
  • Keep captions out of the seam between the halves.
  • Match the pace: a calm clip under a fast one feels wrong.

In Zlayo

Upload the two videos, pick the layout and render. The result opens in the editor like any other video.
