Split Screen Mattes is a procedural layout toolkit from MonoNodes designed to create flexible and fully adjustable split-screen compositions inside DaVinci Resolve Studio. Instead of relying on fixed PNG overlays, Fusion setups, or pre-made templates, the mattes are generated mathematically in real time and automatically adapt to the resolution and aspect ratio of the timeline.

The pack provides three dedicated layout DCTLs — Structure, Organic, and Steady — covering organized grids, naturally irregular compositions, and clean geometric arrangements. Combined with MONO-Crop-Pro, video clips can be positioned and cropped into individual cells for professional multi-panel layouts.
