Introduction

Creating hilarious videos where it looks like you're talking to yourself is easier than you might think, especially with video editing tools like Videoleap. In this step-by-step guide, we will use a mirror mask and keyframes to achieve this comedic effect. Follow these instructions for a fun and engaging video!

Step 1: Setting Up Your Clips

  1. Open Videoleap: Start by launching the Videoleap app on your device.
  2. Import Your Clips: Add the two video clips you’ll be using to the timeline.
  3. Layer Your Clips: Place one clip directly on top of the other in the layer panel.

Step 2: Applying the Mirror Mask

  1. Select the Top Clip: Click on the top clip to ensure it’s selected.
  2. Add Mirror Mask: In the editing options, find and click on the "Mirror Mask" feature.
  3. Adjust the Mask: Slide the mirror mask over to match the position you desire, creating the illusion that you're facing yourself.
  4. Expand the Mask: Adjust the sides of the mirror mask to encapsulate both versions of yourself adequately.
  5. Align the Clips: Move the clips so both you and your "clone" enter the frame at the same time.

Step 3: Exporting the Composite Video

  1. Lock Your Edits: Once you're happy with the positioning, lock the mask adjustments.
  2. Export the Video: Export your creation as a horizontal video to preserve the effect.

Step 4: Creating a Vertical Video with Keyframes

  1. Start a New Project: Create a new project in Videoleap and set the canvas to a vertical format (9x16).
  2. Import the Exported Clip: Load the horizontal video you just exported into the new project.
  3. Transform the Video: In the transform settings, choose "Fill" to fit the video within the frame properly.
  4. Add Keyframes: Tap on 'Add Keyframe' to begin animating.
  5. Animate the Movement: Quickly whip the clip to the other side of the couch to enhance the interaction effect.
  6. Create Pauses: Monitor the video for pauses in the conversation and add additional keyframes to switch back to your other version seamlessly.

Step 5: Final Export

Once the timing and movements feel cohesive and natural, go ahead and export your final creation. Voilà! You've successfully made a comedic video where it looks like you’re having a conversation with yourself.
