 Hi guys, it's Alex. Welcome back to my channel. If you guys are new here, make sure to subscribe because I'm trying to get to 10,000 subscribers. We're so close yet so far. Today's video was actually requested by my friend Taylor Layman here on YouTube. So if you haven't already, go check out her channel. She was wondering how I get this effect. Yes guys, follow me on Instagram because I've actually been working it really hard on my Instagram. So it would mean the world to me if you went and checked out my Instagram page. I've always seen people use this animation to shout out their Instagrams and I really wanted it. But most everyone that uses these animations aren't true to Instagram. It doesn't match Instagram's animation and I wanted one that was the exact Instagram animation. I think that is everything for this intro. Let's go ahead and get on into how to make this animation. So basically all you will need is your cell phone on Instagram and a MacBook. I'm going to show you guys how to do it on a MacBook. I'm sure there's tons of ways you can do it on a PC. But for this tutorial, I'm just going to show you and you'll get the idea. So I'm sure you'll know how to get it and work with it on a Windows computer. PS guys, do you like my new phone case? I love it. If you like it, I'll link it down below so you can check it out. $15 Amazon. So this is your Instagram. I'm actually on my other Instagram frames of Jane. So if you want to go check out my portfolio type Instagram, go ahead and do so. But I normally do all of my work that I want to like test out on this account. So basically you're going to go to the camera. This is part of my room and then you're going to like take a picture. I like to use the letter L just because it's easy and it's just like one rectangle when it's lowercase and then I'm going to turn it green. So then I'm going to press done. So it's like you have a text character right here and you're just going to zoom in and basically what you're creating is a green screen. So your screen looks like this and basically you're going to just save it. So after you save it, you're going to exit out of the camera. Yeah, you want to discard that. And then you're going to go to the ad and you're going to go to next and then you're just going to basically go through the process of uploading a photo and then you're going to tag people. So you only need yourself because you want to shout out yourself on Instagram. So basically what I'm going to do because I'm using my friend Taylor as an example because she requested this video. I'm going to just put Taylor K Y T. So this is her Instagram and unfortunately you can't make it bigger. So it's just going to be like that and then you're going to click done and then you're going to click share. So basically you've shared it to your Instagram account and it's just this green photo with your tag because I'm already screen recording. I don't really need to screen record but you yourself are going to start a screen recording. You're going to open up your Instagram. You can either do it on your feed or just go to your profile so you don't have like a bunch of other people's pictures in the recording and then all you're going to do is just tap the screen to get the animation and then you're going to tap it again and you can do this a couple of times. You can wait a longer time or a shorter time before you tap back to make the animation go away but that is how you do that. So basically I've done it twice. The only thing you're going to record is tapping the green screen. You just made with the tag on it. That's all you're going to do then it's going to be saved to your photos and what you're going to do from that is air drop it over to your computer. So this is when your handy dandy laptop comes into play. So all I'm going to do is air drop this screen recording to my computer and if you don't know how to air drop it's super easy. All you have to do is just turn it on and your devices appear right there. So then you're going to send it on over to the MacBook. This is what your screen looks like and you have the screen recording in your downloads or wherever it saved on your computer and it's of your phone screen. And now what you're going to do is open up a Final Cut Pro or you can do this in iMovie. It's really simple. So I'm just going to open this. I'm just going to create a new project and from there you're going to import the movie you just took. So it was under screen recording and now you have it in your project and I'm going to just import some media from my desktop. This is just a picture of me and real Akuma. You can do this with video, photo, whatever. Now you're going to take the screen recording and drag it on top of your media. You're going to find a place in the screen recording where the animation hasn't happened yet and you're just going to like drag this over. I'm hoping you guys can see this. So my explanation isn't like everywhere but it kind of is everywhere and then you're just going to zoom in. You want the entire screen to be green if that makes sense. And I did that using scale to the right here and that's pretty much it. You can also use the move tool, the transform. It's the box right here if you've seen my mouse and then you should have your animation right here and I'll go ahead and play this so you guys can see exactly how it's going to look from there. You're going to do here here. So hey, it says I'm Taylor layman. That is how you initially get the Instagram handle animation. If you zoom out now, you still have the white border of Instagram because the keyer did not key that out because it wasn't green. So now I'm going to show you guys how you can get a green screen movie so you guys don't have to worry about doing this whole process again. So basically I'm going to take off the keyer and make that green again. All I did was click the little box there. I'm going to just play around with this. After I kind of get the size that I want of the Instagram tag, you're going to have little spaces here where the green doesn't fill. You don't really need media under there. I was just showing you guys. That's kind of like if you wanted an Instagram tag for like a one-time use. What I'm showing you now is going to help you guys the Instagram handle so you can just like drag and drop it into your videos. So now I'm going to drag this generator. It's the custom generator. It's under generators and I'm going to I'm going to drag that underneath the green background. So the green thing is going to be on top. What you're going to do now is you're going to match the green. So basically you can go to this eyedropper tool. I went up here to color and all I'm going to do is select this. So now your entire screen is green. That's how it should look. You can make it smaller and then move it if you want your tag to be like super small, but I like to keep mine a little bit bigger so people can read it. So this is probably the size I would want. So now you have a whole green screen animation already made for you. How nice is that? I tapped my finger a couple of times. So I have different lengths of how long the Taylor YT is in there. I'm only going to use the first one because I really don't need a bunch of them. You can keep them if you want, but I'm just going to do this. After you get the placement and everything of where you want it, you can go ahead and right click and do new compound clip. What this does is just make that whole thing one composition. So basically you can take this and save it and then just put the keyer on it. So just drag and drop and then voila. You have an animation there for you. Again, like I said, you don't need this media. I was just wanting to show you guys how I do it and then now you have this green screen animation ready for export. So all you're going to do is export it like you normally would. I have the auto correct to I guess when I put IG so and then all you're going to do is save it and I like to save mine to the downloads. So that's pretty much how I do it. So that my friends is how you get the Instagram handle animation on a green screen so you can just bring it into your videos drag and drop and it's the exact one from Instagram. Hope this video is helpful. If you guys enjoyed it, make sure to give it a big thumbs up. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel and I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye.
