exposure, and composition from one shot or camera to another, enable
the Split Screen option. This option freezes the current frame from
a recorded clip or live camera, letting you define the size and
position of the frozen region.</p>
<p>To check compositional continuity, adjust opacity so the split
region becomes semi-transparent. If you want to assess the entire
frame, maximize the region.</p>
<p>To check the continuity of lighting and exposure, make the split
region fully opaque, and maximize it to the full height of the frame
so the Waveform Monitor can provide complete information. If the
framing between the reference frame and the current image is identical,
the waveform display should be well aligned.</p>
