Video Grid

9 layouts in one tool: grids, picture-in-picture, a live reaction-cam split, and a Bento mosaic.

What is Video Grid?

Video Grid arranges multiple video clips into one composite layout, playing together in a single export. It's really several layout tools in one: fixed grids for simple side-by-side compilations, plus a few purpose-built layouts most 'video grid maker' tools don't have.

9 layouts total: 6 fixed grids (1×2, 2×1, 2×2, 2×3, 3×2, 4×4) for straightforward side-by-side arrangements; 4×4 Plus 1, a 4×4 grid used as a background 'wall' with one extra clip enlarged and overlaid dead-center; PIP (picture-in-picture) — one clip fullscreen with a second in a small corner bubble, the classic reaction-cam/duet look; Bento — a dynamic mosaic with one larger hero cell plus several smaller cells, and the cell count (2–6) is adjustable live, not fixed; and Reaction — original video on top, and the bottom slot records straight from your own camera instead of picking an existing clip, the exact top/bottom split used in TikTok and YouTube reaction videos.

Playback length and style are separate choices from the layout. Duration mode is either Max Length (shorter clips loop to fill the longest one) or Composite (every clip plays to its own natural end). Inside Composite, Composite style is either Static (each clip plays once and holds its last frame) or Spotlight (the grid keeps looping muted in the background while each clip, in turn, takes over an enlarged center spot with its own original audio — one clip at a time, back-to-back).

How it works

1
Add clips
Import 2 or more videos to combine — or, for Reaction layout, record your own camera live for the bottom slot.
2
Pick a layout
A fixed grid (1×2 up to 4×4), 4×4 Plus 1, PIP, Bento, or Reaction.
3
Choose duration + style
Max Length or Composite for how long the export runs; if Composite, Static (plays once) or Spotlight (clips take turns center-stage with their own audio).
4
Sync playback
Align clips so they play together as intended.
5
Export
Render the combined layout as one video.

Who it's for

Reaction videos with your own camera

Reaction layout — original clip on top, your live camera recording on the bottom, no separate recording app needed first.

Picture-in-picture / duet-style videos

PIP layout — your reaction or commentary in a small corner bubble over the original clip.

Bento-style multi-clip layouts

Bento — one hero clip plus several smaller ones in a mosaic, cell count adjustable from 2 to 6.

Before/after or multi-angle recaps

Fixed grids (2×2, 2×3, etc.) for simple side-by-side comparisons or multiple camera angles of one moment.

FAQ

Can I make a reaction video without a separate camera app?

Yes — the Reaction layout's bottom slot records directly from your camera inside the tool, so you don't need to film your reaction separately and import it.

What's the difference between PIP and Reaction layout?

Both put one clip in a small corner over another, but PIP composites two clips you've already picked; Reaction specifically opens your camera live for the bottom slot, matching the classic reaction-video format.

What does Spotlight style do?

The full grid keeps looping (muted) as a background while each clip, one at a time, enlarges to a center spotlight and plays with its own original audio — like a compilation where every clip gets its own moment.

How many clips can I combine?

The layout determines the limit — a 2×2 grid fits 4 clips, a 4×4 fits 16, PIP and Reaction fit 2, and Bento's cell count is adjustable from 2 to 6.
