There's probably an easier way to do this, but here's my way:
1)Create an image with the same resolution of your video project. Supposing you want them to play side by side without any space between them, paint the right half of the image white and the left half black. Save it.
2)Import to your main sequence, or preferrably to a new one. Right-click it and deselect "Enable clip ojn timeline". Stretch it as far as you want your side-by-side videos to play.
3)Drag your right-side video onto another layer on the timeline and add the effect "Track Matte". On the effect options, select the video layer where your black-and-white image is, and select the option "Track Luma" (The default should be "Track Alpha").
4)Do the same with the left imge, but select "Invert Matte"
5)Use the Motion commands to center the images and put the parts you want on screen.
I wrote this from memory, so some of the options might be written differently, but you can find them.
