I have successfully been able to use the crop tool to divide my screen between 2 video clips. However, when the shorter clip ends, I only have the 1 clip playing on just 1 side of the screen. I tried to undo the cropping at this point, but the whole cropping disappeared from the beginning. I then tried to simply copy the longer clip above to another track. This way, I could just shorten the original longer track to have it stop when the shorter clip ended, and then have the copy take over. However, I could not figure out how to paste a copy of a clip to a fresh track. Of course, it's easy to copy a clip, and I can go to the top toolbar and hit the paste item, but a new clip does not show itself in a fresh track when I do this--even if I set the timeline to the area I want. I guess I'm not able to choose (highlight) a new track when there is nothing yet in it.
Thus, if you're still with me---and I could explain it differently if I'm making it too complicated: is there a way to either 1)make my cropped video go back to full size at a certain time in the timeline, or 2) make a copy of a clip and paste it to a fresh track? Of course, if I did paste it, I would hope it didn't carry over the original cropping attribute, or else this 2nd choice would be useless.
Thanks.
