Split screen dve

[milena]

I'm trying to use the split screen virtual studio at the same time as the green screen (chroma key) and being that there is only one effects button, I can't use it for both background for the green screen and for effects for the split screen virtual studio.

Now, I was hoping that there may be a DVE that I could use leaving transition half way through, and either squeezing both cameras so that each fits half the screen, or even better, sizing down both cameras so that they fit one next to another. In second case it would be good if during transition tha background isn't black but rather something else.

Does anyone know where I can find this kind of DVE or order to have it made?

I've got some DVEs that are similar to that concept:

They have a limitation in that they only squeeze one source, not both. That's a limitation of the DVE format.

LiveSets can be custom built to squeze two sources, and they can use multiple sources, so this should be fairly simple to do with a LiveSet, but you can get into some tricky situations there where if you're not careful which sources you've used, there isn't a practical way to switch in or out of the shot.
