How to blend two videos into one shot
A classic split screen draws a hard line between two clips. A gradient layout does the opposite: the edges melt into each other, so two videos read as one dreamy shot — a sunset fading into city lights, you fading into your younger self. In Video Grid Collage one slider turns any two-cell layout into a blend.
Step by step
Pick a Gradient template
Open Video Grid Collage (free) and choose a template in the Gradient section of the start screen — vertical, landscape or square.
Add your two clips
Put a video or a photo into each half.
Adjust the blend
Tap Grid, then Gradient, and drag the slider: at the low end you get a crisp split, at the high end one clip melts into the other.
Or blend a layout you already have
Working on a side-by-side or top-and-bottom collage? Grid → Gradient turns its hard line into a soft fade the same way.
Line up the moments
Trim both clips on the timeline so the key moments play together, and match their colors with Filters or Adjust.

What blends beautifully
- Pair clips with similar brightness — a dark clip fading into a bright one looks like a mistake.
- Keep calm areas at the seam, like sky, water or walls. Busy detail on both sides turns the blend muddy.
- Then and now: fade an old video of a place into today's footage from the same spot.
- A slow zoom animation on one clip makes the blend feel cinematic.
