Adobe Premiere elements advice

Hi BHW,

I recently got Prem Elements and am trying to edit two cam views together. Does anyone know if there is a way to display both vids at the same time so that I can see what would be the best shot to use?

Thx.

Personally I'm an after effects girl, but I think I know what you're trying to do so I'll give it my best shot...

Put video #1 into the timeline and it'll show up in the preview monitor.
Double click on the video (you'll either click the video itself or double click on it in the timeline).
The "Edit" Monitor should open up.

Click on the Effects Control panel that's located above the Edit Monitor.
Click on the Motion button.
Uncheck "Uniform Scale".

Now you should be able to scale/adjust the video to whatever size you want in the preview monitor.

Now repeat the same steps with the other video but move it to the other side of the preview monitor so you can see both videos at the same time.
