hello what is up guys it's evil do a
SARM here today back with another video
in today's video i'm gonna show you how
to clone yourself in your very own video
using the free editing program shot cut
so as you can see over my shoulder right
here we have another version of myself
he's probably making fun of me but hey i
want to go ahead and show you how to do
this using no green-screen
nothing just straight up video editing
using shot cut the link to download shot
cut will be in the description below
completely free program completely free
so in order to do this you're gonna need
some video footage so right now I'm just
capturing it from my webcam but you can
also capture it using a cell phone or
anything so long as the video recording
source saves fixed throughout the
entirety of the recording process you
can't move the video recording or the
video recorder in any direction it has
to stay in the same spot after that
you're gonna need to shoot two scenes so
actually this was a scene of me talking
giving this introduction and then a
second scene of me just hanging out back
there and making fun of myself so these
two clips that you record are going to
have to be of about equivalent length
you don't want to have one way longer
than the other one unless that's
intentional if you want the character to
walk in and out of your scene also if
you're gonna have a dialogue with
yourself like you saw in my video a
couple days ago you really need to have
your lyrics all rehearsed and ready to
go because you need to get the timing
perfect between the two conversing
parties otherwise you will not be able
to execute what looks like a real
conversation so once you got your Clips
all set away navigate on over into shot
cut and upload both of the clips into
the program so when you load up shot cut
this is what its gonna look like all you
got to do is click the Open File button
up in the top corner and click your two
videos that you want to upload so for me
it is this one and this one these are
the two videos they correspond with the
video so just click both of them click
enter and it'll pop them both into the
playlist over on the Left pause the
preview window because we don't need to
watch it and then just grab this little
bar below and drag it on up what we need
now are two sections for the two videos
so just go ahead and right click in the
timeline which is this big gray box down
below right click and add a video track
right click add a video track drag our
two videos down just drag and drop both
the video clips down put one up and one
down below now at this point you need to
do any trimming that you need to do on
the videos so that they line up properly
for this one for example is the one
where I'm walking off of the screen so I
need to trim this video and get rid of
that bit in order to trim the video drag
the scrub bar wherever you want it press
S on the keyboard with the video
selected it'll cut it in half and then
you can delete whatever you want off of
the video so now that we have that set
up we just need to line it up with where
I start talking about myself in my other
video so if I look at at this point it's
probably about here so drag your scrub
bar so that it's in line with the second
video and then drag the other video so
that the introduction starts where I am
talking about myself somewhere around
here now if we click play nothing's
gonna happen right it's gonna play the
first video because that's what's
showing and then it will immediately
default to the video that's up above
which is the one to be walking into the
scene so what we need to do is we need
to create an opening in this top video
so that the video down below can be seen
so in order to do that click on the top
video so that you have it selected the
bar will turn yellow up above up there
and navigate to the filters tab so if
this is your first time using shot gut
feel thirst tab is not gonna be right
here down underneath the playlist it's
gonna be up at the top of the screen so
go ahead and click on the filters tab
and then go ahead and click on the plus
button so in this we're gonna navigate
to the video tab because we're looking
for a video filter and the filter we're
looking for is mask simple simple shape
so scroll down the list and we've got
masks a simple shape right here after
we've got that selected go ahead and
scrub over to the actual video itself
and you'll now see a window has been
placed into the middle of the video what
we need to do now is align that video or
that window with our original video so
if we scroll over to the left we can see
that our persons over here depending on
which video you have on top you might
have to go left or right so go ahead and
adjust the width of that box so that our
other person is in the shot the height
of the box adjusted so the other
person's in the shot and we need to make
it a little bit wider but that looks
pretty good so now if I went ahead and
clicked play and play through the scene
as we got to that point we would see
that our other person will walk into the
shot here so just like that we have our
second person in the scene now we have a
bit of an issue with the color you can
see that the lighting was different in
these two shots at the two different
times or the exposure on the camera was
different so we need to mess around with
some settings to get those lined up and
the easiest way to fix this problem is
gonna be with the softness slider so the
softness slider is located to the left
of the screen as you click it and drag
it you can see that the blend space sort
of changes up until you end up fading
yourself entirely out of the scene so we
don't want to do that but we do want to
adjust the slider so that it looks like
a little bit more of a natural
transition obviously I have a window to
the left of me over here
so it is messing with the lighting so it
sort of makes sense with the softness at
that setting that it looks like hey
that's sort of believable you can barely
see the transition over to the lighter
region of the room but anyway guys that
is going to pretty much cover it for
this video so we now know how to put two
videos have them overlap with each other
and make it look like there's a second
version of you in the same video
obviously if you wanted to mess with the
lighting and the brightness of the
scenes and add some more filters to this
you can make it look a lot better but
for general purposes if you're just
trying to put two of yourself like on a
couch talking with yourself this is how
you're gonna want to do it the obvious
issue here is that if you have too many
people or if you're too close to each
other that split isn't going to work
with that little filter and you won't be
able to distinguish between the two
different people but for something like
this where it's just two people
side-by-side pretty simple and
straightforward to do anyway if you did
like this video make sure to leave a
like check out some of the other videos
on the channel if you want to see more
shotcut tutorials I guess I could do
those have been using it for like three
years for the entirety of my youtube
channel so I do have a lot of knowledge
in this software but anyway guys once
again thanks so much for watching I'll
see you the next stream video or
wherever I happen to see you
