How to do this in openshot:

  1. Put each clip on a seperate track beneath each other

enter image description here

  1. Right-click clip > properties > layout

  2. Set height and Width to 50% set x and y to 0% or 50% depending on location of clip.

Example for top-left clip

top left clip

Example for bottom-right clip

bottom right clip

Result

  • With a recent (2.4.3) Openshot, I need to do a right-click, select Properties, then in the pane at the left adjust "Scale X", "Scale Y", "Location X", "Location Y". Note that this should be done at the first frame of the video, otherwise the effect will only happen starting at a specific frame (or with a linear transition).

You can do this with the composite transition in kdenlive 

sudo apt-get install kdenlive

Watch this video tutorial to find out how and, as a bonus, how to do a green screen effect.

  • +1 for suggesting Kdenlive. Whilst being a professional video editing tool, it's fantastic for beginners.

Here's a tutorial using Cinelerra.

Unfortunately it seems you have to manually compile it, if you are using the latest Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat": http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu
