Recording Split Screen Videos on iPhone

Split screen video shows two angles at once—perfect for tutorials, interviews, and side-by-side content. Here’s how to record split screen videos on iPhone with Double Camera, plus tips to make the layout look great.

What is a split screen video on iPhone?

A split screen video displays two camera views in one frame (for example, front and back cameras together). It’s a simple way to create dual perspective video without editing two separate clips.

How to record split screen videos on iPhone?

Double Camera lets you choose a split screen layout and record both cameras in sync.

Follow these steps:

  1. Download Double Camera from the App Store and open it.
  2. Grant camera and microphone permissions.
  3. Select Split Screen as your layout (side-by-side or top/bottom).
  4. Tap record and keep both views framed as you film.
  5. Stop and export your split screen video to your Camera Roll.

Split screen vs PiP: which layout should you use?

Split screen gives both views equal space, which is great for interviews and demonstrations. PiP keeps one view dominant (usually the back camera) and adds a smaller face cam—perfect for reaction videos and vlogging.

How do you make split screen videos look professional?

Small framing choices make a big difference. Try these tips:

  • Use landscape only if your platform supports it—vertical is often best for Reels and TikTok.
  • Keep your face well-lit so the selfie view stays clear.
  • Avoid busy backgrounds behind the PiP or split view to reduce visual noise.
  • Use a tripod or stable grip to keep both halves steady.
