6. Optional: Modify the appearance of the split screen by doing one of the following:
   • If you selected Horizontal or Vertical Split, set the position of the split.
   • If you selected Angle Split, set the position and angle of the split.
   • If you selected Blend, set the percentage of the secondary track that is displayed. For example, if you specify 60, the image is composed of a blend of 40% of the Primary track and 60% of the Secondary track.
   NoteThe Secondary video track appears black if it is an unrendered effect, or if both the Primary and Secondary video tracks contain unrendered dissolves.
