How to Change the Background in Videoleap
Film & Animation
Introduction
Creating a video where the subject remains the same while the background continuously changes can yield a very cool effect, especially when some slow motion is added. This tutorial will guide you through the process using the Videoleap app.
Shooting the Video
- Frame Rate: Shoot in 120 frames per second on your iPhone.
- Consistency: Measure the distance between the camera and the subject to ensure consistency in every shot.
- Multiple Backgrounds: Record the subject in 10 different backgrounds doing the same action (e.g., jumping).
Editing in Videoleap
- Insert Clips: Import all the clips into the timeline.
- Trim Clips: Trim each clip to only show the subject at the peak of their jump.
- Resize Clips: Increase the size of each clip by approximately 10% to make alignment easier.
- Straighten Clips: Adjust any crooked clips.
Adding a Freeze Frame
- Duplicate Closest Clip: Find the clip closest to the camera, duplicate it, and add a freeze frame.
- Overlay Freeze Frame: Position the freeze frame on the top layer and stretch it across the entire timeline.
- Adjust Opacity: Reduce the opacity to around 50% so you can see both the freeze frame and the clips below it.
Final Touches
- Align Clips: Match each clip as closely as possible to the freeze frame template.
- Add Music: Include some music and align the cuts to the beat for a polished finish.
And that's it! You've created a captivating video with a floating subject and changing backgrounds.
