Can I combine an image and video in one Short?
Yes. KIPZO's Split Image + Video builder places one image and one video in separate parts of the same 9:16 frame.

Upload your video and image, drag the divider to change the balance, swap their positions if needed, add text and record the finished 9:16 layout.
Why use this layout?
Split-screen video is useful when two visual ideas need to stay on screen at the same time instead of cutting back and forth.
Keeping both elements visible at the same time can make comparisons and visual references easier to follow. It also gives static images a useful role in video content without needing to animate or repeatedly cut back to them.
Build it in KIPZO
Upload your video and image, drag the divider to change the balance, swap their positions if needed, add text and record the finished 9:16 layout.
Open KIPZO Shorts and choose Split Image + Video. Upload one video and one image, choose Fill or Fit for each, decide which one sits on top, then preview the composition before recording. When the source video ends, KIPZO can finalise the recording and show the output on the right.
KIPZO tip: Make the area with the most detail larger. A text-heavy screenshot usually needs more space than a simple portrait or logo.
Use the divider to control attention
Start with a 50/50 split, then move the divider based on what viewers actually need to see. If the video contains a face or full-body movement, keep enough height to avoid awkward cropping. If the image contains text, enlarge it until the words remain readable on a phone.
You can also swap the image and video positions. Top placement usually gets seen first, while the lower panel can work as supporting context, a reaction image or a visual reference.
Add text without crowding the screen
KIPZO lets you add multiple text layers, drag them around the Short and resize their textboxes. Use short labels and wide textboxes to avoid tall stacks of unnecessary line breaks.
Test the final layout at a small size. Platform controls can cover the extreme top and bottom of vertical content, and a composition that looks spacious on a desktop monitor can feel much tighter on a phone.
