Stack the two images one above the other in the timeline. Use the transform function in the lower left of the viewer. Drag the corner of the upper image to scale it. Drag the image to reposition it.

Excellent - thanks for your help - how about split screen, so that two pictures show side by side.

Similar. Stack the images. Use the crop trim and position function to align the image on top as you like.

Thanks again for your help but one thing puzzles me. If i crop the two pictures then they reduce to half the size of the viewer screen, which seems logical to keep the perspective correct. I must be doing something wrong and I cannot see if you crop how yo can have a full screen picture that isn't distorted.

Thanks
