Everyone Kelsey here
and welcome back to Gal.
Today I'm going to be showing you
how to create your very own split
screen templates
that you've probably seen
in a lot of acapella music
videos, Youtubers and acapella artists
have been doing this for years
like Mike Tompkins.
As well as Andrew Huang
and it's just an interesting way
to visualize different instruments
that they're making with their voice,
but it can also be used in commercials
or any other types of commercial
editing that you're doing.
So what will I be
showing you in this video?
1st I'm going to show you
how to use guides and the rulers
inside of Premiere Pro
to set up your framing.
And in this particular
aesthetic I'm going to be leaving
little black gaps
between all of the frames.
Of course you can do
any color that you want.
This is just one way of doing it.
And then after that
I will show you how to animate
the different split screens into frame.
Now if you don't want
to have to set up
the different split screens
for every single composition
and you're looking for something
that will be easy to just drag
and drop your own media.
I've created my own template
with ten different animated sets
that are already there
that you can just drag
and drop your videos in,
saving you a ton of time.
The template that I designed
personally myself
is now available on my store.
It's on sale and I've linked to it
just down below.
And I'll briefly show
you how to use this template
after I show you
how to set up your own split screen.
And lastly, a huge thanks to Envato
Elements for sponsoring today's video
and providing all of the videos.
All of the music and sound effects
that you have seen
in this video thus far.
If you're a filmmaker,
if you're a you tuber like myself
and you need to just quickly find
some stock music, some stock video,
or you need a new logo opener
or a lower, 3rd and some
background music,
you can just download and test.
Any amount of assets
because it's unlimited
and you can use it in
any number of videos.
I have a unique 70% off your first month
deal down below, but if you're like
I need this year around,
they already have 50% off
their annual plan, which is a great deal.
Highly recommend it
so links are down below
and also my time
codes are below, so if you want to skip
around to different chapters
to review different sections
you can just click
on those chapters down below
and without further ado, let's go ahead
and jump on and.
So for this demo
I'll be animating in two frames
a few times, just to show you
the skills to use a crayon split screens
and you can apply the same steps
to any number of frames that you create.
First you need to create your main
landscape sequence
and you can make it in 4K
or 1080 full HD.
I'm using the 1080P full HD,
so I'm just going to select
this 1080P preset
and I'm going to name
the sequence A2 split.
Now with the program
window selected, we're now going to view
and go to show rulers to help us measure
and divide up our splits evenly.
So this frame is 1920 pixels wide.
If you divide that in half, you get 960.
So we can create a guide
by clicking on the left ruler.
In dragging this out
so you see kind of like
an Aqua colored line here
and you can pull this to be at 960
and now you know that this is the halfway
.0 for this particular look.
I don't want the frame
to be exactly at the 960 marker.
I'm going to add a black gap
between the two frames, so
depending on how big you want
your gap, that will
determine how many pixels
you're going to subtract from the frames
that we're going to be building.
So in this case, I'll be
doing a 10 pixel gap,
so that means that I'm going
to subtract 5 pixels from each frame,
'cause we're having two
which will equal 10.
So let me show you how this works.
What we can do is
we can move the guide to 9.
55 pixels and then we can create another.
Guide by clicking over
and then move this to 965
which is 955 + 10.
So that means in between.
Here we now have our ten pixel gap.
And now we can make
are placeholders for the shots.
So the reason why I'm making placeholders
and I'm not just
dragging my video right away
into the sequence
is I'm making a placeholder
so that way in the future,
if you ever want to swap it out
for a different shot,
you don't have to re
crop it and change
the framing every time.
It's already going to be
in the right place for you,
so that's why we're going to be
using placeholders AKA nested sequences.
So a sequence within a sequence
that's a particular frame size.
So for this particular set
up, each frame will be.
1080 pixels in height
because that's the
current height of our sequence
and the width will be 955,
which is the pixel width
until the black gap.
So we're going to go down to new item
and select new sequence.
Then we're going to the Settings tab
and we're going to change the horizontal
from 1920 to 955.
And let's call this shot one,
and then we can duplicate it
to make shot too.
So just right click on this sequence
from the project panel.
In select duplicate
and we can rename this to shot 2.
So now we can drag our footage
into shot one sequence and remember
when you drag it in
to keep the existing settings
so it doesn't change our custom
frame size that we made
and then you can go to effect controls
and make adjustments
to the position and scale
until the framing
looks good for the shot.
And now we can do the same for shot #2.
Let's drag in our video file
and make some adjustments
using the effect controls
and now we can then
go back to our main sequence
and we can drag in the shot
placeholders that we just created.
But before we do that,
make sure that you turn this sequence
icon on here, so make sure
it's blue and doing
this will make sure that when you drag
the sequence into a sequence
it'll just pull in the sequence.
Now we need to move this sequence.
Into the right place,
using the guides
that we previously created.
So go to effect controls
and we can move the position over
until it's nearly aligned
and then we can zoom in
using the zoom control
from the program panel here
and then we can get more accuracy
as we move this into the correct place.
You can also click on this wrench tool
icon to turn off the transparency grid
so it's easier to see the guides
and then we can go back to the fit view
and let's do this.
Same with shot too.
Let's drag it in.
And stack it directly
on top of the first sequence placeholder,
then select shot 2
and from effect controls.
Just like before,
we're going to move it
in alignment with our guide
and then once it's in place
you can go up to view
and turn off view guides
and now we can see that
we have are nicely aligned to split.
So now that it's all in place now,
we can do the fun animation part.
So let's start with shot 10.
Select this nested placeholder.
Move the playhead to the point
where you want the video to be in frame.
So let's go into effect
controls and let's set a keyframe
here at this exact playhead point.
Now roll the head
back to the beginning of the clip
and use the position controls
to just move it off frame to the left.
You can also select the last keyframe
and right click and select ease
in so it's more of a smooth animation.
So now we can move the playhead
back to the end point of this animation
and that way we can do the exact
same animation was shot too.
But from the other side.
So let's go into effect
controls from shot 2,
and let's set a keyframe here
at this exact playhead point,
then move back to the beginning
and then move this shot off
to the right this time and once again
you can right click on this last keyframe
and select ease in
so they both animate in at the same time
more smoothly
than just a linear animation.
And now we have a nice animate in,
but what if you want to
have two more shots come in?
This is where we can make it
a little bit more interesting.
And it will just involve
duplicating what we've done
and making a few adjustments.
So go to the project panel
and let's duplicate shot 2.
Two more times and let's rename
these two shot 3 and shot 4.
Then let's open up shot three and four
and let's drag in our new video clips
to replace them with new clips.
And once replaced,
we can Dragon shot 3 and shot
for on top of shot one and shot 2
in our current to split sequence.
And remember that
the length of each placeholder
when you drag it in will be determined
by how long the clips are inside.
So you can always cut these down
and you can roll these
to meet the end points.
But just so you know
you will only be able to roll it out
depending on if there's clip media
inside of these sequence placeholders,
then we're going to copy.
Shot one so command
C on a Mac or control C on a PC to copy.
Shot one and then right click on shot 3
to paste the attributes in.
Here we only want to paste the motion
and let's do the same with shot too.
Let's copy it
and then we're going to right click
on shot for an paste
attributes motion only
and now the position animation
that we did on shot one and shot
2 or an shot 3 and shot 4
but they both animate
in on the same time.
So what we're going to do is select
a shot 3 and shot 4 placeholders
with the audio layers to an.
We can just move it to shift it over
so that way first shot
one and shot 2 animate in
and then a little bit later
depending on what time
you want to animate in shot
3 and shot 4 both come in
so you can repeat this process
for however many shots that you want
to build in that motion.
For this two frame split.
Now what I've done is
I've actually created a template
with ten different sets.
Have different variations,
some have multiple different shots.
Multiple framing more complex animations.
It's a great starting point to then
drag and drop in your own media,
so the link to download
this template is just down below.
If you guys are a patron
supporting my Patreon community,
you will get this template for free,
so you can follow along.
So let me briefly show
you how to use this template
with your own video.
So after you download the template,
the best way to import
the template is by starting
in your existing project.
And drag the template project file
into your project panel.
It basically just takes
the premiere Pro project that I built
with the 10 split screens
and imports it into your project panel.
So then you can open it up
and see all the different bins
and placeholders that you can customize
and one of the questions I've gotten from
my previous templates is
how do you reuse the different sets.
If you want to use one set
multiple times throughout your video.
Because when you start replacing media
from one of the sets
and you duplicate that.
It will replace the previous sets.
So to duplicate a set,
all you have to do
is import the product file again.
So you would just drag and drop
the project file
into the project panel
again as many times as you want
so you can reuse different
sets multiple times.
So the best way to get
started is to open up
the all set sequence
and you can double Click to open up
that set that you want to edit,
and then you can open up each placeholder
just like I showed you before
and you can drag in your own media
into the shots just like that.
And when you purchased the template pack,
I included an instructions file
and in that file I have a more in depth,
a tutorial that shows you
how to customize the in
and out animations
and deal with multiple different sets,
and reorganizing them
for your final export.
So I hope that you found
this video tutorial useful and explore
the template as well to see
if it might fit into your workflow.
Thanks to all of my monthly patrons
who support this channel.
If you become a patron,
you can get the template.
