How to make a video collageOne clip per track, each in its place

Studio has no collage template. You stack the clips on tracks and give each one a position and a size. Here is the three-up collage from the top, taken apart.

  1. DancerX 1284 · Y 12 · W 624 · H 1056
  2. RallyX 648 · Y 12 · W 624 · H 1056
  3. WokX 12 · Y 12 · W 624 · H 1056
  4. Solid, blackW 1920 · H 1080
  1. 1

    Set the canvas

    With nothing selected, the Canvas panel sets the width and height. Use 1080 × 1920 for Reels and TikTok, 1920 × 1080 for YouTube.

  2. 2

    Lay down a background

    Pick Add solid (R) and drag across the whole canvas. Its color shows in the gaps between the cells.

  3. 3

    Give every clip its own track

    Drop your clips on the editor and stack them on separate tracks, all starting at the same moment. The top track draws over the ones below.

  4. 4

    Type the position and size

    Select a clip. Under Layout, type Position X and Y and Dimensions W and H, or drag it until it snaps to an edge or the center.

  5. 5

    Keep the subject in its cell

    Unlock Keep aspect ratio, then move Crop focus until the face or the action sits inside the cell. Corner radius rounds the edges.

  6. 6

    Pick the sound and export

    Turn off Enable audio on every clip but one, or add music. Trim the clips to end together and export an MP4 at 720p, 1080p or 4K.

What to put in a video collageFour collages, four reasons to use one

A collage earns its place when the viewer should see two things at the same moment. Photos and clips mix freely.

  • A rally car slides through a puddle on a misty forest road
    A young man on a sofa turns to the camera, eyes wide and mouth open in surprise

    Reaction

    Top and bottom, 9:16

    The clip on top, the face that watches it below. Keep only the clip's sound or only the voice.

  • A dated living room with beige walls, an old sofa and boxes
    The same room painted sage green with a linen sofa and a rug

    Before and after

    Side by side, 16:9

    The same room from the same spot, side by side. Matching framing does the work.

  • A cyclist on a cliff road at sunset, then a surfer running into the waves
    A woman laughs on the tailgate of a car at a coastal lookout
    Two coffees and a map on a dashboard above a coastal road
    Two friends walk along a rocky shore at sunset

    A trip in one post

    Grid of four, 1:1

    One clip and three photos in a square grid. Each photo stays on screen as long as you stretch it.

  • A model in a sheer silver trench coat stands at the end of a pier as a wave breaks
    A close view of the coat's sheer silver fabric rippling in the wind
    The model walks toward the camera in the open silver trench coat

    Three angles of one product

    Three up, 16:9

    Wide, detail and worn, playing at once. The viewer sees the whole thing in one glance.

Sound in a video collageThree clips, one sound at a time

Every clip brings its own sound, and three at once is noise. Keep one, or turn them all off and lay music under the grid. Pick one to hear it.

All three clips play silently. Pick a sound to hear the difference.
