How to Clone Yourself in Videos | Video Tutorial | Videoleap

Creating a cloned version of yourself in a video can seem quite mystical, but with Videoleap by Lightricks, it’s surprisingly straightforward. Follow these steps to add a magical touch to your videos.

Step 1: Record Separate Videos

First, you need to record two separate videos of yourself standing on opposite sides of the screen. Imagine as if someone is standing next to you; this will be essential during the editing process.

Step 2: Open Videoleap and Add Media

  1. Open Videoleap App: Open the video editing app on your device.
  2. Tap the Plus Button: To start a new project, tap the plus button.
  3. Select More Media: Head to the 'More Media' option.
  4. Choose Your Videos: Select the two videos you recorded earlier.

Step 3: Edit the First Video

  1. Add First Video to Project: Import one of the selected videos into your project.
  2. Tap on Mixer: Navigate to the mixer option in the app.
  3. Upload Second Video: Select and upload the second video.

Step 4: Adjust the Videos

  1. Go to Transform: Use the transform function.
  2. Fill the Screen: Tap ‘Fill’ to make sure the videos cover the whole screen.

Step 5: Apply Masking

  1. Tap Back Arrow: Go back to the previous screen.
  2. Select Mask: Choose the masking tool.
  3. Choose Linear Mask: Opt for the linear mask.
  4. Rotate the Line: Spin the mask line until you can see both versions of yourself.
  5. Soften the Line: In the middle of the line, there are two arrows. Pull these arrows away from the center to soften the edge between the two videos.

Once you've completed these steps, you've successfully cloned yourself! Now go ahead and amaze your friends with your new video skills.
