- Cloning yourself doesn't require expensive software
like Premier Pro or some crazy advanced editing skills
and masking capabilities.
Instead, I'm gonna show you a super easy way
that you can do this using InVideo's video editor.
Let's jump into it.
Now before we jump into the video editing aspect,
we need to talk about camera settings.
Specifically, you need to lock every setting on your camera.
You need to lock your focus.
You need to lock your white balance.
You need to lock your ISO, your shutter speed.
You just want everything locked and nothing in auto mode,
because that's going to ruin the effect.
If you're doing this on the camera,
just make sure you are in manual mode.
If you are doing this on a phone,
simply holding your finger down on the screen
should give you the option to lock your exposure
and your focus.
Now that your settings are locked,
let's get into how you film this video.
So you can just click record
and you want to stand off all the way to one side.
You want to make sure there is room here,
a big gap in between you and your clone.
So you'll stand here, record the first spot.
Then you'll hop over to this side and record this section.
And while one clone is talking,
you wanna be kinda making looks and reactions
and kinda pretending like there's actually someone there
even though you're just kinda looking into nothing
and doing the same with the clone on this side.
And once you're done with that,
we can hop over to the InVideo website and start editing.
Now, if you want to follow along,
you actually don't even need to download software,
just go to invideo.io, create an account or log in
and you actually can do all the video editing
from your web browser.
So here I am,
I'm on invideo.io and I'm going to choose blank canvas
and choose wide 16x9.
And what we're just gonna do is click,
make a video and get into the editing.
All right. So here I am within the video editor
and the first spot we want to go to is our upload section.
And here you can click upload media,
which I've actually already done.
I have my video right here that I want to upload.
So I'm just going to click on it
and it's going to pull it up here
and I can actually start trimming it right away.
So here's the part where the effect works.
So in this clip,
it just shows me talking here on the left side
and in the same video clip,
I then move over to the other side and record the second bit
where my clone is talking.
So to start, I'm just going to trim up right to the part
where I start talking, which I'm already basically there,
there we go.
Then I'm gonna trim this side down,
to where I start talking for a bit
and then I kind of react to my clone and a nice smile.
There we go.
Then I'm gonna click done,
and it's gonna add it right to our timeline.
Now this is how we add our clone to the screen.
What we're gonna actually do is click on timeline,
and then we're going to grab the exact same video
and drag it over and drop it in right here,
where it says drop to add a layer,
so we're gonna drop in.
And we're gonna scroll over to the spot
where I'm watching myself talk.
Now, what you'll notice is right here
is where the first scene ends,
which is super helpful for being able to line up exactly
where we need to put our video.
So I'm going to scroll over here
to where I'm watching myself
and now I can actually skip ahead
to where the scene ends
and make sure that's where I stop talking.
So it looks like it needs to be a little bit more over,
there we go.
So that way,
scene ends right there, where I stopped talking.
That's perfect.
And I can actually scroll this up right to that line.
Perfect.
You can click done.
And now we have the two videos stacked up on each other.
And if for some reason you can see they're a little bit off,
you can always scroll this over... there.
Now they're both lined up perfectly.
Now, what we can do is we can take either side
and we're just going to increase the size of this video...
right over the top of the other, like so.
And then what we're gonna to do,
as we have selected media number two, is we're going
to click on the crop button right up on top here.
So you just click on this.
If we click on this lock option,
it'll actually allow us to really trim our video like this,
where we can line it up,
do it right as-
at that like a photo I have in the background,
right there.
Click done.
There we go.
Scroll myself over like so.
Just to make sure we are fully lined up there.
Awesome.
Let's take a listen to this video.
