Hi, I saw a Disney clip on two different videos put together like split screen and one character from one video walks into the other video then back to their first video. I would like to do that effect but not sure how to. I appreciate any help you can give me. The following is the Youtube address where I saw this effect.

Put two videos on the timeline, one on top of the other. Crop the left side on the first video using a rectangular mask. Crop the right side in the second video with another rectangular mask.

Believe it or not the answer is in the video's title - "Rotoscope."
Rotoscoping is hand tracing/masking frames of a video. In the case of the video you've linked to Disney artists literally drew the character over the same reference footage of an actor.
Rotoscoping is tedious. It can be done directly in Hitfilm with masking.
The Mocha add on can speed up roto.
Or, AI tools are starting to emerge that can do it for you.
