Two photos side by side

I had started my project well over a year ago, and then... well... Covid. I am now getting back to it and I don't remember anything!! In my working version of my project I have two photos that I want to show side by side. I had them working in an earlier version, but there was something wonky with the transition of one photo that I couldn't seem to fix, so I deleted it! Now, I can't seem to get them back side by side. i'm sure its an easy fix (I managed to do it before, can't be TOO tough).

I want the two photos to be shown side by side, and then pan up.

I remember something about side-by-side and now I can't find it! Yikes! Assistance? Thanks in advance.

G'day Margaret, use Effects> Size and Position. Make sure you first click on the image you want to move, and also position the play marker over that image.

All my forum comments are based on or refer to my System 1.

My struggle is over! I built my (now) system 2 in 2011 when DV was king and MPEG 2 was just coming onto the scene and I needed a more powerful system to cope. Since then we've advanced to MP4 and to bigger and bigger resolutions. I was really suffering, not so much in editing (with proxies) but in encoding, which just took ages. A video, with Neat Video noise reduction applied, would encode at 12% of film speed. My new system 1 does the same job at 160% of film speed. Marvellous. I'm keeping my old system as a capture station for analogue video tapes and DV.

Hi

. . . . I remember something about side-by-side and now I can't find it! . . . .

To avoid confusion - there is an option for the Preview monitor for 'side-by-side' as shown below, however this is for creating 3D (Stereo) video and is not what you are wanting.

@AAProds has given you the correct solution.
