Topic says it all. Does anyone know of an iMovie plugin I could use to do this?

Thanks!

I doubt it for iMovie, but you can do it with quicktime pro: Copy one of the clips and Add it to the other. Then in Movie Properties you can arrange the tracks however you want in the Size section for each track.
blackmail is such an ugly word. I prefer extortion. the X makes it sound cool

Wow - that was easy. That was exactly what I needed. Thank you for pointing that out.

Now I guess my next question would be: any idea how I can overlay both video tracks and set the transparancy of each layer? I have QT Pro 5 and can only set a single color transparancy per layer - I don't know if QT6 has improved on this. (I'm basically wishing for a Photoshop style transparency slider to overlay the two tracks.)

I'm a bit too cramped for time right now to search that answer out... so I figured I'd try to hit you up for another answer if you have it.
