Interview: give both participants a clear role
Use side-by-side when two people or perspectives deserve equal attention. Keep eye lines at similar heights, avoid placing faces against the center seam, and simplify the busier background. PiP is better when a host comments on a larger event or location.
Tutorial: protect the working area
Use the rear camera for hands, tools, ingredients, controls, or materials. Place the instructor in a small front view that does not cover the active step. A top-and-bottom layout can preserve a wide tabletop while keeping the presenter above it.
Product review: keep labels and details readable
Before recording, decide where packaging, ports, controls, texture, or on-product text will appear. Put the presenter over an empty edge rather than the product. Side-by-side is useful when the explanation and demonstration are equally important.
Food, craft, and classroom variations
The same composition applies to recipe steps, art processes, repairs, science demonstrations, short lessons, and hobby walkthroughs. Stable framing and a clear working surface matter more than adding more visual elements.
Preparation checklist
- Clean both lenses.
- Reduce background noise.
- Keep hands inside the rear frame.
- Test the split line or PiP position.
- Confirm device compatibility before a long take.
