Editing Split screen (video production) (section)

===In television===
The split screen has also been used extensively in television programs. Newscasts often show two reporters in a split screen frame. The sitcom ''[[That '70s Show]]'', [[Nickelodeon]] teen sitcom ''[[Drake & Josh]]'', [[Disney Channel]] teen sitcom ''[[Lizzie McGuire]]'', [[USA Network]]'s ''[[Burn Notice]]'' and Fox's ''[[24 (TV series)|24]]'' made extensive use of split screens. It is sometimes used in [[game show]]s to show two contestants simultaneously, and on cable news shows, when participants in a discussion are in different locations.

Split screens are frequently used in motor racing, especially during [[safety car]] [[pit stop]]s in the [[IndyCar Series]] and [[NASCAR]], where four way splits are used, most often with three leading cars or trucks' pit stops shown on the left and a shot of the pit exit (where restart order is determined after pit stops) on the right, with some featuring just four different cars or trucks making pit stops. Often these pit stops can change the entire outcome of a race. In sports, an instant replay, highlights package, or featurette on a specific subject relating to the play may be shown in a corner while the main play is happening.

Split screens showcasing individual character reactions are a common device of Japanese [[anime]], where they imitate the panel layouts of [[manga]]. These sometimes feature more than two characters at once, and may be split at oblique angles.<ref>{{cite thesis |last=Standerwick |first=Alissa Annette |date=1 December 2021 |title=Celebrating and Practicing Aspects from Eastern- and Western-Centric Animation Styles |url=https://core.ac.uk/works/123381032 |type=MA |page=15 |institution=Clemson University |access-date=13 November 2023}}</ref>

In 2019, Snapchat's original content arm, Snap Originals, released a series called 'Two Sides', which followed a young couple as they navigated a breakup, told from both perspectives at the same time.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://snaporiginals.snapchat.com/two-sides|title = Snap Originals}}</ref> Season Two and Season Three will be released in 2021. 

Split screens are sometimes used during commercial breaks, as in ESPN's "[[Side-By-Side (graphic)|Side-By-Side]]" coverage of racing, where one side of the screen shows race footage and the other shows advertising. This allows commercial to be shown while not interrupting coverage of race action.

Split screens are also common in [[advertising]], often to show [[comparative advertising|comparison]].
