I am looking to a multiple split screen like you would see in The Brady Bunch. Will FCP 10.6.4 support this and if so how? I have seen how it will do a single split screen but this project would possibly involve considerably more than that.

Howzit Phil. Yes, FCP can support Brady Bunch style split screens. In addition to Tom's excellent book, one of our resident Motion template experts here, Fox_M, has a free sc-multiscreen plugin that should save you a lot of time. https://fcpxtemplates.com/sc-multiscreen/
The book that included it is a bit dated. For a basic understanding of FCP I would recommend Steve Martin’s 60 minute intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqUP7Zgeuck. For a more in depth introduction use the IzzyVideo tutorials. The version is a not the newest but the principles are the same.
Hey all!
I built a Picture in Picture effect because of the "zooming in a picture (in picture) without changing the image frame size" thread and it's still free today (Sept 7) here:
https://fcpxtemplates.com/picture-in-picture-22/
and with it I was able to create a Brady Bunch-style opener (and I shouldn't need to say it: ENTIRELY IN FINAL CUT PRO):
using 3 "adjustment layers" and a Picture in Picture 22 effect for each clip applied. (You can tell where the breaks are). The Art Layer "adjustment layer" is included free with Picture in Picture 22.
If anyone would like the "Brady Bunch Opener" (it's 3 Effects Presets - one for each "segment"), I will make it available.
Not bad for a "simple" Picture in Picture effect, if I do say so myself. The storyline still looks like a storyline and not a "pile of bricks".
You could sidestep the publishers altogether and go completely digital.
In any event, thanks for the help in my upcoming project.
This is going to be a sink or swim kind of thing, but the help I've gotten so far makes me feel I might just pull it off.
You can stack as many layers as you want, cropped, scaled, and positioned as needed. Some of my books have had a real Brady Bunch tutorial with the correct timing.
Aloha Tom
Which of your books would be most helpful in this regard. I'm a novice FCP user, so I'm jumping into the deep end for this project.

Very nifty, Fox! Thank you for sharing that one.
And thanks too to Tom Wolsky; your books have been so very helpful.

You're very welcome John. I'd love to write new editions, but the publisher doesn't seem interested.
Can Final Cut Pro support split-screens (ala Brady Bunch)?
