How to Clone Yourself - Basic Technique

[Dx3Official]

Hey This is good you can also use cropping I made a tutorial on it

[theNTMfilms]

Thanks! Been waiting to do this for ages!

[ohkaye911]

this is not simple lol..

[RickiPrime]

This is fricken cool, I've always wanted my own clone

[yayo553]

does that enables me to have the audio of both videos playing at the same time?

[lozziestar4eva]

Hi, can anyone help me? I make movies out of fun and I really enjoy it. I am 12 years old. I have one problem...

On the Mac, there is a special effect where there is a background and you can load yourself onto it which I think is really cool.

I need it for one of my scenes for my movie.

My laptop is a Windows and I don't know how to download that mac effect onto my windows through the internet. Can someone help me?! Help! Any hints or tips or programmes that isn't difficult would help a lot!!!!

[ejhproductions1]

@lozziestar4eva I do not believe you can download imovie onto a windows. i have a mac, but i see you do not have one. If your friend has a mac, try using his/hers. if you cant, well i cant help you anymore. Hope this helps!

[Zatara2012]

very nice.

[centcha3]

ur clone is slow

[CoDAddictors]

Personally I think the sofa is fine, and anyway who gives a shit it's just a basic tutorial.

[kkc1918]

[CoDAddictors]

[warrenE5]

[BaGlePoCkEt]

[GrahamAndFriends]

[mjacksonceo]

[ayumuminis]

Thankyou..!!!  Good video

[CodynomeWolf]

Very good your video. I use another software to do this same effect, but still do not know to use the audio in this case. thanks for sharing.

[HollidayProduction]

That is Dope!

[scottandtatum1]

yay now im not alone XD

[micheal683]

get video screen much better and clearer

[JJStuffEngineering]

@BlubDieHenne on their site,demo versions,i used that,VERY good and free :)

greetings and respect JJ

[AppleFritter809]

I think the hardest part about cloning is if you want your two clones to have a conversation with each other, it can be quite difficult to get the timing just right. To have your two clones have a conversation with each other would be time consuming as you would have to keep redoing it until you get the timing just right.

[deejeylazax]

Clone is bored :D

[thexperts3]

lol look at the seat next to him in the video it is so fake

[wyetta209]

@thexperts3 What do you mean it is fake?

[55alyssa1]

o:

[TheShineegirl1234]

WHICH PROGRAM IS THIS

[lalobeatguerrero]

haha and if i have PREMIERE CS5 HOW CAN I DO THIS???

[HerdOfBear]

@yankovic1234 Are you serious? Get something better than that....

[rickvanman]

@BlubDieHenne eBay or Amazon?

[yankovic1234]

windows movie maker?

[filmer7th]

@yankovic1234 lol

[whoyouuu]

will this work in wax 2.0

[PlanetPatricksVideos]

premier pro?

[shamphatproductions]

@PlanetPatricksVideos It works on premier pro! :)

[blazer57hd]

do i have this tool in sony vegas pro 10? thx

[SamuelSlowMotionTV]

anyone else notice the small cut near the clone on the couch thorough the remote, i think he should have featherd that

[2299lol]

will it work with vegas pro ?

[BlueSoda79]

It's pretty obvious it's a clone.

Because it's blinking SLOW.

[Laytho2]

why does it keep censoring his words with other words like green screen n blue screen

[Kakashiser]

Spotted an error of this video...look at the middle of the sofa XD

[Laytho2]

@Kakashiser ???

[Jene7092]

Alright, so i'm trying to make a video with me playing a song I wrote with multiple instrumental parts. Pretty much what i'm going for is a band of "me's" for lack of a better term. Any suggestions?

[TheMagichelmet]

what about windows movie maker

[mrjorgensen101]

Cool

[mimpf96]

there many softwares to record your screen.

[mtbndd]

what editor do you use?

[rickvanman]

@mtbndd Adobe Premiere Elements

[mtbndd]

@rickvanman does it cost any money ?

[rickvanman]

@mtbndd yes

[BlackandWhiteLove225]

@rickvanman about how much?

[kendama88]

@mtbndd it doesnt cost if u torrent it

[mtbndd]

lalalala COOL thanks

[terrariatester]

the clone is moving slowmo

[HaydenEldridgePiver]

when you get up and move to the other spot, do u keep the camera filming?

[rickvanman]

@HaydenEldridgePiver It doesnt matter if you do or not - the move-over shot is edited out. I tend not to touch the camera during the whole take so there is no danger of moving it si the move-over is filmed.

[TomAteYourSweets]

hey Rick, can I clone my self on Sony Vegas??? And could you please subscribe to me? I will be making video blogs :)

[loopedfuture]

yes you can

[TomAteYourSweets]

@loopedfuture By the way, your videos are really great, I will be making video blogs/vlogs in the near future. :)

[TomAteYourSweets]

@TomAteYourSweets Oh and thanks for the help :)

[breezybreea14]

Awesome



[LTmashup]

Every time I do this, I get a white ghostly figure and I did EVERYTHING right, and I know its not the order because I did it in both orders and neither of it works! Same angle and everything and nothings working :(

[CheerfulGeek]

Thanks for the tutorial Rick. Saw a couple of other videos on the topic but this one pretty much nailed it. Have a great day.

[2141992mughees]

very goog timing skills

[Jmaz926]

when you record the second one how do you know when the first recording is talking or not talking?

[rickvanman]

@Jmaz926 thats always the tricky part - having someone read a script off-screen helps

[ChihuahuaHound]

@Jmaz926 You could replay the first video of you talking so you know when to react.

[TheBoomshae]

in after effects this would be a mask?

[RubenDandrea87]

ur clone goes on SLOW MOTION HAHAHA

[1KengePerTy]

[musicnrd]

Very nice and easy to follow HowTo. I just did this with a video of myself (and my identical twin!). Until today, I didn't know I even had this feature in my video editor.

[coolkid599gto]

hey rick found out how to do it on apple computers it looks so difficult to do with the computer you are useing but with the apple you just make the two halfs and click a button

[coolkid599gto]

what computer do you use and will it work with apple computers

[rickvanman]

@coolkid599gto I use a PC. You should be able to do this on a Mac too - its more to do with the editing sofware that you use, than the type of computer.

[coolkid599gto]

what computer do you use

[riririri66]

what is the name of the software?

[AngeleSings98]

Do You Have to download a software?

[JayBoogie950]

So what If i wanted 3 clones? How would that work? help plz

[moogie5]

can I do this with corel video studio pro x3

[hannah43xo]

to do this do you have to have premiere elements 3.0?? because i dont and i really want to try this, and if you dont have to have premiere elements 3.0 what else can you use, like can you use windows movie paker?

this is a great video, thanks :)

[TheBritishFPS]

hey Rick. how can I do a load of soldiers walking across a field with just two actors? :)

[rickvanman]

@TheBritishFPS put your soldiers in pairs and scatter them around rather trhan trying to bunch them together maybe?

[TheBritishFPS]

@rickvanman thanks :)

[pupskannake]

I think its also possible with after effecs, right?

[Juulproductoins]

here is a tip download camtasia studio!

[xohHoLliB3rRyxoh]

or you could just get a twin

[00J3nniF3r00]

wats the name of the progra yor using?

[rickvanman]

@00J3nniF3r00 Adobe Premiere elements 3.0

[rickvanman]

premiere elements 3.0 - its an old version but like windows XP - still the best :o)

[kspoiler]

what software are you using? i would like to get it =]

[dtruell]

That's what I thought, but I just wanted to be sure. I'm really enjoying your video postings. I tried the audio/video sync'ing and my first attempt was a total success. Thanks for all your work.

Don Truell

USA

[rickvanman]

@dtruell Happy to help ;o)

[dtruell]

Hi Rick. I don't understand where bluescreen, greenscreen or chromakey enter into this technique. I have Adobe PE4

[rickvanman]

@dtruell you dont use bluescreen, greenscreen or chromakey. you just need the garbage matt masks that are located in the chromakey section.

[LiddohGee]

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWiiiNNNNNNNN­NNNNNNS!!!!!!!

[xoxo2lexi4xoxo]

Can you do this with iMovie?

[unwrittenotes]

oh that's simple, that's just masking in sony vegas.

[Viktor0song]

thx man !!

[fatimamusic13]

Is it possible with song vegas 8?

[UnamedVideosinc]

how about avs video editor

[TheSammyLV]

the clone the left arm is slightly cut off

[theawsomepen]

is the softwear fweeeeee?

[TheSammyLV]

@theawsomepen no

[chritchkid]

what edditing software do you use? I have only been looking for FREE software like Imovie. Any sudgustions?

[jojoajjake]

THIS IS AWESUM

[uandersonx]

I am Brasilian no understand!!!

[jaynyce202]

This is Hard Man

[ekdmsdlzz]

after watching the "garbage mix" thing, have anyone else noticed the line in his video? hahaha

[Mrdou5a]

can i do it with premiere pro ?

or is it gonna be better with premiere elements ?

[rickvanman]

@Mrdou5a yes, but pro is unnecessarily complicated.

[NuttyNarwhal]

Did anyone else notice that his clone is moving in semi-slow motion?

[meezsims2luver956]

wow your clone moves VERY SLOW...

[proplatinum555]

its not that hard just got to practice thats all



[xeliam1]

but how can you time your clones to talk?

[rickvanman]

@xeliam1 its very tricky - usually takes several attempts and some creative editing.

[KrazeKAM]

@xeliam1 My guess is to have the video playing quietly in the backround so you can time it up

[MrKeithtk]

@xeliam1 use a stopwatch

[hugenintendofan]

you can see a difference in the middle cushion

[2theXtremest]

the clone on the left is like "like i give a shit" -.- lol

[ImMiguelOlivares]

Helloo Thanks For the Video! :D

[asandiegoguy]

h2 zoom nice

[victorandrada]

can I do this on vegas pro?..

[marc3809]

good video. but wat software is that. and is the software free

[rickvanman]

@marc3809 adobe premiere elements 3.0 - no its not free and I dont know of any editing software that is free apart from WMM which is not very good and you cant do this on it.

[hugenintendofan]

@rickvanman you can with an add on

[THEMJLOVER111]

@rickvanman actually you can

[DryYoshii]

@rickvanman

you CAN do this on WMM but it only works on XP WMM or 2.6 WMM (XP version for Vista)

[ccitydesign]

@rickvanman you can use Virtualdub and Avisynth. both are free and the actual coding (it works with text commands) is pretty easy if one gets the hang of it. It's much less comfortable than commercial software, though.

and you need some graphics editing software to paint the mask of course.

[geek113377]

@rickvanman debugmode wax (free software, not as good as premeire/asfereffects, but does basically the same stuff)

[kittymomo4031]

can this be done with movie maker? i think the version i have is the old one... i don't think it can be done

[rickvanman]

@kittymomo4031 I dont think Windows moviemaker is capable of doing this.

[kittymomo4031]

@rickvanman ok thank you! is there any free movie editing software out there?

[rickvanman]

@kittymomo4031 none that I know of.

[Transformer05]

@kittymomo4031

It can, you just have to download another software pack of WWM.

[raser2632897]

lo puedo acer con sony vegas pro 9

[rickvanman]

@raser2632897 Yo creo que es posible con ese programa

[raser2632897]

como se llama el programa ?

[rickvanman]

@raser2632897 el programa se llama Adobe Premiere Elements, pero usted debería ser capaz de hacer esto con cualquier software que sea capaz de trabajar con chromake o verde / imágenes de pantalla azul

[akoyisangpinoy01]

is there any program that is free that will let me do this effect? other than windows movie maker. message me plz

[DojoHygeProductions]

Nice video. Thanks for the precious info!!

[scottytheghoti]

do you know of any other software that has something comparable to this "garbage matte" thing? or maybe other names for the feature? thanks and great video.

[rickvanman]

I think you should be able to do this with any editing software that has the chromakey option.  I can't give you any software names for definite except for premiere elements 3.0

[scottytheghoti]

thanks a ton. figures the program i got cant do this. lol yeah thanks for the help. much appreciated.

[MorganWeske]

Awesome vid, thanks for the help! Check out mine if you get the chance... "Clone Yourself Commercial"

[ThatKidKnows]

I used Cookie Cutter in Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Pro 9.0

[Johnnyboy792]

Great Rick. I'm always looking for more ways to make my videos better. This will blow them away !

[rarebanana]

Pretty Crazy!! Love it, thanks for the tutorial :D

[MatthewTheShortKid]

what program you using

[rickvanman]

adobe premiere elements 3.0

[MatthewTheShortKid]

thanks love the videos

[robblac]

hah, cheers rick, thats a lot easier than faffing around with split sreen, as i was doing lol

[Smallface8]

Nevermind.

[Smallface8]

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 7 and when I put the garbage matte over layer two and try to rearrange it, the handles only resize the layer 2 video... help!

[Wartez]

how do you clone an actor if you want to move the camera? is it possible without being a vfx guru?

[rickvanman]

I'm not sure its possible without a PHD in VFX!

[youbz2002]

wow , that is amazing , can i do that by Vegas

Thanks a lot Rick .

[wiccamelissa]

WHat program is this?

[rickvanman]

Adobe premiere Elements 3.0

[narcissusdark]

interesting video... i should try this when i have a need to clone anyone.

[flashgunfilms]

Now there's two of you!

[dizzylizzy6]

wow i cant wait to try this! thanks rick!

[FinalCut6]

Wowza, I have only ever done this with a straight vertical line, never with a slanted line(s).

Thanks Rick. It's called the same thing in Final Cut Pro too by the way :).

Yay

[Kneichion]

Hi Rick as always, enjoyable watching.

Keep up the good work

All the best

Andrew
