I am trying to set up a four box interview and having a heck of a time. I used the four box virtual set with a background as a template. I don't want a background though, I want all four inputs squared up against each other. It's all but impossible do that quickly or easily using the positioning tools.

Is there an easy way to add all four sources and line them up drag and drop to be 2x2 vs these stupid numerical sliders that never get the source where I want it?

Is there an existing template I can download?

And for the love of god, please add an undo feature when editing scenes.

I must be missing something. This can't be that hard to set up.

Thanks

this video addresses a little bit of math regarding size and positions :-)

You’ll be torn to shreds for not learning the software before you asked a question. Even though everyone is so “helpful”.

Learn to code. You have been warned.

Mavik's instructions are right on.

To be even more specific:

Add Input
Choose "Colour"
Choose either Transparent or Colour (black is perfect)
Click on the gear icon for that Input
Multi View
On the right side there are a bunch of pre-made templates (in blue, red and other colors)
Scroll down to find the 1, 2, 3, 4 template with four colors
Choose what Inputs you want in each numbered box from the drop down menus right there.

Voila!

This is a powerful feature you can use for many many things.

Thanks I downloaded this and it will get me started. I am going to make each guest fill the 25% of the screen so everyone has max real estate

You're welcome, just edit the xml file for the background and positions etc. Personally I prefer the ability to jump to each guest/presenter when they're talking.
