Haha, cheers!

[@alvinfrazierTV]

This is great. What I do is take a photo or get some footage of the background without me in the frame to give me some additional coverage during editing.

[@offroadplayz8114]

Been looking for a video like this for forever, thank you!

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

With after effects rotobrush 2.0 cloning can be much easier by masking out entirely instead

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

You're totally right! 😄 Rotobrush 2.0 didn't exist when I made this so I'm excited to see how much easier this is to do now

[@noapologyofficial]

And how do we make a more complicated interaction? For example: me dancing with myself? Is that even possible? Probably I’ll need a double? Anyone knows? Or is it just a crazy impossible idea?

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Hi Sershen (or Zaritskaya 😄) - Not crazy impossible but might not be the role of After Effects depending on the dance moves / movement. If you're looking to do something where you're partner dancing like holding hands, arms around eachother, complex moves etc, if I was doing this myself personally I would choose to use a double for all those movements where vision of the double's face is more obstructed, but then have 1-2 shots / sections where a simpler interaction (like breaking away from each other and looking back at each other) is done twice by you and stitched together like shown in the video, where you can see that it's truly the same person. Then when going back into the complex dance moves you can move back to using a double for those shots. That's the way I'd personally approach it 😄 hope that helps! Congratulations on the success and I'll be looking to see if this double dancing video comes up 😄

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHfZXqGXn7uIl6s its very possible

[@1actose]

@@llorettaamos that was an unrealistic effect, they also used chroma key.

[@llorettaamos]

@@1actose how do you go about a more realistic effect? Like how its done in the movies

[@1actose]

@@llorettaamos Either rotoscoping, clever masking, or creative camera angles.

[@jezzy-o6h]

Brave ... A question please .how do I get the perfect timing to interact with my clone ?? All the time I try I'm either too fast or too slow

[@daytimestudios3678]

Great job!

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Thanks!

[@stephaniewilson8216]

Please can you teach me how to edit this with capcut ? I love this allot, and what editing app are you using ?

[@zakmedia7211]

Good job. Bro

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Cheers! Thank you!

[@ashriya1294]

Can I do this in video star?

[@divinahgesare8842]

Which app is good for cloning

[@corythompson6835]

Is there a chance you can make another one but instead of catching a ball you are actually hitting yourself like in the robotic eye tutorial love the video btw been keeping me busy for a while 😂

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Haha, that would be fun to do 😄 so glad you enjoyed it!

[@hirenprabtani8796]

I need a tutorial for this in imovie? can anyone help?

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Hi Blakey, sorry to say but I’m not sure iMovie can do this effect...but it’s been many years since I’ve opened up iMovie

[@daytimestudios3678]

I’m subscribed for you

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

Really appreciate it!

[@daytimestudios3678]

Motion Array Tutorials I’m starting for Adobe Premiere Pro first and then on. I’ll used after effect next!

[@karadytube]

Can it done in premiere pro too?

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

It can, but it would be more challenging

[@javierjasni116]

i think using Premiere Pro also could do this trick

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

You can totally do this in Premiere, but we've personally found that we don't enjoy it as much because it's a little more challenging. But that also depends on your exact footage and the kind of cloning you'll be doing (ie. how much fine detail work needs to be done).

[@francisoreilly7826]

Hey what software is it that you use

[@MotionArrayTutorials]

In this tutorial? After Effects. But to edit videos like this tutorial I use Premiere Pro
