In this tutorial, two videos are played back simultaneously and the content is mapped and edited, through two different Elements using UV View. This tutorial applies to MXWendler version 6 and above.

1. Load two videos in Preload and add them to the Layermanager. <br>
The two videos are shown on top of each other in Layermanager. '''(A)'''

2. Go to Keystone tab and open the Create menu, and choose two Elements to be created. '''(B)'''
:'''Position View → Create → Grid: 2 x 1 Columns/Rows → Create'''
''Tip: Softedges create an overlapping area in which image outputs from the projectors are physically superimposed. The doubled brightness in this area is overlayed with Softedges.''

3. Choose the right source for each of the Elements. i.e the desired Track and Layer of the videos for each Element. '''()'''
:'''Element Menu → Element 1 → Content → Track 1 → Layer 1 '''
:'''Element Menu → Element 2 → Content → Track 1 → Layer 2 '''
Now the two videos are played back in the two different Elements.
