How to Combine Four Videos into One Screen

Four‑video split screens are a staple of engaging vlogs, tutorials, music videos, and comparison clips. Whether you’re editing on a phone, a laptop, or using a web service, this guide walks you through creating a polished four‑way split screen with industry‑standard tools and free templates.

1. Quick Start with Online Templates (FlexClip)

FlexClip offers a drag‑and‑drop editor with ready‑made 4‑split templates. Perfect for beginners and those who want instant results.

Step 1: Browse the FlexClip split‑screen library and click Customize on a design you like.
Step 2: Upload your four clips via the Upload Files button—supporting local files, Google Drive, Photos, and more.
Step 3: Drag each clip into the template slots. Resize, crop, and add music or filters as needed.
Step 4: Hit Export to download a high‑resolution video or share directly to YouTube, TikTok, etc.

Bonus: FlexClip also supplies templates for two‑video and three‑video layouts, giving you flexibility if you only need fewer layers.

Template Categories

Two‑Video: Makeup before/after, before‑after memes, healthy living comparisons.
Three‑Video: Travel vlogs, Instagram reels, fashion slideshows.
Multi‑Video: Wedding memories, family collages, funeral tributes.

2. Advanced Editing with Premiere Pro

For full creative control, Adobe Premiere Pro is the industry standard. The process is a bit more technical but offers ultimate flexibility.

Step 1: Install Premiere Pro.
Step 2: Import the four clips.
Step 3: Stack each clip on a separate video track; trim to match lengths.
Step 4: In Effect Controls, set Scale to 50% for each clip.
Step 5: Position the clips to the four corners of the frame.
Step 6: Add a border by inserting a black video, applying the Grid effect, and adjusting corner values (e.g., 1920×1080 for 16:9).
Step 7: Export your finished project.

3. Using iMovie (macOS)

Apple’s free editor can handle a four‑video layout, but you’ll need to layer picture‑in‑picture twice.

Step 1: Start a new project and add a background.
Step 2: Import the first clip; set it to Picture‑in‑Picture and place it in the top‑left corner.
Step 3: Export this version locally.
Step 4: Re‑import the exported file, add the second clip as Picture‑in‑Picture next to the first, and export again.
Step 5: Repeat for the third and fourth clips.

Though tedious, this method lets you achieve a true four‑corner layout on macOS.

4. Mobile Editing with CapCut (Android & iOS)

CapCut is a free, feature‑rich mobile editor that supports multi‑layer video creation.

Step 1: Install CapCut and create a new project.
Step 2: Add a background track and extend its duration.
Step 3: Tap Overlay → Add Overlay to import the first clip; resize to fit.
Step 4: Repeat overlay for the remaining three clips.
Step 5 (Optional): Add filters, music, text, or stickers.
Step 6: Preview, then export the final 4‑way split screen.

Bottom Line

Choose the tool that matches your skill level and platform: FlexClip for instant results, Premiere Pro for full control, iMovie for macOS users, or CapCut for mobile. Start experimenting today and elevate your content with a professional four‑video split screen.
