only with a superscope...and I dont think you can acheive different results on one half of the screen than you can the other........

not sure

Quick way
Using a 1x2 image with one black and one white pixel, and use that to buffer blend one effect list onto another, you'll get a 'split-screen' effect. You'll need to add a movement like x=x*2-1 or x=x*2+1 to squash an image into half.

Here's an example. Instead of a bitmap, this one generated the splitscreen-mask real-time.

Yes, through the use of dynamic movements alpha blending capabilities and/or "if" statements. That preset I just posted on the board (the earth, download it for an example and don't forget to tell me what you think :D) did that except instead of two halves I split it into everything inside of the disc and everything outside of the disc. If you program the alpha blending to blend out all possitive "x" coordinates you will have one side of the screen black and the other side of the screen doing whatever else. Then you can blend in whatever you want on the black side of the screen using buffer save/restores. It's a bit costly on system resources, but that is the only way I can think to do it. Here is an example using two presets from my older pack "Partway". I hope this helps.

Thats a pretty clever technique UnConeD.
