HOW TO CREATE ∙ A MULTI-SCREEN MUSIC VIDEO | chanelmusic

[@musicmastersofchanhassen2397]

I am a private teacher and I have 6 piano students working on a piece. We just started but the end project is to create one video showing all the players using iMovie. I have spent hours on KZbin to find a great tutorial and yours is the best!!!!!!! I had one from a few days ago that was pretty good and was going to have many singers. The person talked about setting the background adding the 1st video etc and then saving. I like what you did better because you had all of your videos in the project ....You then showed clipping and then saving. But when you did the very best job was for each video you worked with you walked us through EACH step whereas the other person said just repeat the same steps until you have the finished project. I am very computer literate but a 6 in one virtual video is totally new to me and I hadn’t really used iMovie all that much. So thank you for being such a great teacher!!!!!!!

[@andreaesthetica]

I have to comment again. This video is so awesome. I don’t know what it is but watching you tube explanations can be super annoying if people don’t explain things clearly. This is really clear. I love it. Super helpful, grateful. The repetition also helps a ton. Your speaking voice is awesome too. Thank you !!!!

[@tedviolafire]

Only a real musician could really guide us through this. The nerds were no help, but your how to video answered all my questions!

[@tedviolafire]

Thanks, Chanel. It’s so great to hear this from a fellow musician instead of a tech nerd. You took the time to let it all make sense. If you’re still around, I’ll try to send you my result when I’m done, which maybe you’ll be able to use.

[@aspiremusichk5380]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. Really helpful and easy to follow. Appreciate it 🙏

[@TheWinningLifestyle]

its amazing I found this video 5 years after it was created... especially when I needed it and its still relevant... Thanks Chanel music

[@HenryMoodie]

thank you so helpful

[@Dannykhc]

Hi Chanel, just what I needed. As soon as I finished watching your video I immediately did a multi-screen video of my own as a test, using the Beatles' Nowhere Man. I had the camera record my performances as I recorded one audio track at a time using Logic Pro X. I had a bass, acoustic guitar, lead guitar, a melody vocal, a high harmony and a low harmony. Mixed the tracks in Logic Pro and then shared it to iTunes. From iTunes, I copied it to the desktop so I had a separate audio file. Then fire up iMovie and crop the raw footage videos. Put in the black background and then insert the first video, the acoustic guitar. Then inserted the audio file. Synchronised the video with the audio. Edit out the excess footage and then share to desktop as the first file. Then start the process again, inserting the second video, this time the bass. It worked just great. Thank you very much. It's very easy once you've tried it.

[@chanelmusic5]

Nice!! Sounds like you have a dope video! So glad I could help

[@rockykoast7065]

This is the third tutorial I've looked at for doing split screen videos. I'm a complete newbie to this.. Its the FIRST one I feel I've understood! You're a great teacher! ( as well as looking great and singing beautifully!). Thank you!

[@davidbenefiel9289]

Thank you for a very clear and methodical explanation of the PIP process. The clearest demonstration I have seen. I shot a 5 part video with 5 cameras, and was able to create a split screen video using your step-by-step instructions. Great!

[@MrJimmason]

I really appreciate your style of teaching that includes sharing your thought process and decision making as you create the video. Brilliant !!

[@ukulelebutterfly]

Reading the comments, looks like I came to the right place! Or... You Tube brought me here. Good information. I didn't know how this was done. Can't wait to try. How Fun! Thanks! 🦋

[@delcoy71]

One thing that would make it easier to line up is do a clap at the beginning before you sing to create a spike that you can see if you right click the video and select “detach audio”. You should then be able to line up the video clips based on lining up the audio tracks via the transient spike that appears where the clap is. Make sure your lips are in sync and you are golden. Then you can cut out those parts before the spike and just after it (before where you start to sing). There’s lots of ways to do these. This is just one way I know to do it. To be clear...detach audio separates the audio and video into 2 files for each video clip. One audio. One video. I am not sure you have to save a separate file between each clip you edit. I believe you can line them up the way I said and then edit/trim them.

[@donstarr5866]

I will sit in your classroom anytime. Great job. You made it so clear

[@davewooldridge957]

Very clear tutorial, I like the way you have built in lots of repetition so that we get used to the buttons, and you don't waste time chatting like so many others that are on KZbin!

[@TrevorHuntMusic]

This was extremely helpful. Thank you! You are a wonderful singer as well!

[@RachelSarahThomas]

thank you for taking the time and showing everything step by step! Also - beautiful harmonies!

[@stephenfoster5318]

Just read your comments and I see that a lot of people thought the exact same thing as what I felt May you have great success with everything you do

[@carolyn1251]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I would not have been able to do this without your tutorial. You were thorough, explained very well (and that's coming from a teacher!), and didn't include unnecessary info or drag it out. I am so grateful for your video!

[@drundotattoo5588]

Thank you for this great video. I think your video got to the heart of the process with the minimal amount of wasted time. I heard you say don't worry every time I deleted my initial videos. Great teacher too, you educated an old geezer how to work with i movie. Thanks again

[@tiajuanawalker1056]

Thank you. I have been looking around for this tutorial. Finally. Thank You Jesus! Thank you for teaching it. Beautiful voice by the way. Continue to be blessed.

[@lawrencemoore]

I really enjoyed this video and was able to put together a trio (guitar; vocal; flute and second vocal) demo clip that I sent to my two trio band mates as a suggested way to get back "together," something we haven't done since March. Wish us luck. You're a great teacher! Thanks Chanél.

[@patrickmcwade8432]

This is the best tutorial I have seen yet --and I bin lookin!. You talked to me like I knew nothing much more than the word "iMovie", and i appreciate that. Thank you. It'll still be a bit of a learning curve to execute, but this will be a boon to return to evertytime I get frustrated.

[@MUPP600]

This is the BEST tutorial on this I have found anywhere. Thank you!!

[@fitoduarte8000]

Thanks! I have been trying to find a tutorial on this for ages. I'm happy that I am able to do it on IMovies and don't have to download some weird software to do this.

[@arpitharai]

Chanel, that was a very helpful video. I had a little idea of how to do it but was not clear. Your video helped me to plan my new video (a milestone for me) in this technique. I picked some more tips on iMovies too :-) I will share my new video once it is done. It might take some time though. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. XXX

[@ephemerics]

This works for pieces where everyone sings in unison, maybe a little trickier when participants enter later in the song? I presume you’re listening to the other tracks while recording a new one, maybe there’s a way to add a visual clue, like a clap, at some specific moment before recording begins. That way you could line up the tracks at the exact moment when the hands come together to align the tracks, then do the editing of each clip while retaining the alignment?

[@francesquintrell6248]

What an excellent video I feel totally ready to go with this. I learned so much in such a short time, clear and concise teaching!

[@nathanbrownbass8484]

Excellent tutorial! Beautiful singing too! Thank you very very much.

[@vguido0757]

[@strinilogs]

Wow you made this so easy. All the other videos are about separating video and audio then bringing it back together.... Wow this is so good

[@timothydonovan1261]

this is the most concise video I've watched so far . that you for teaching instead of just showing !

[@timothydonovan1261]

one thing i would say is my dad went to film school and i would use a 'SLATE' the 'action' 'cut slappy box thing used for this timing purpose . this is very good though thank you!

Oh my gosh Chanel, this is an amazing video! Your presentation is so clear and easy to understand. You really know what you're doing! Thank you sooooo much for your help. I just put together a virtual choir video for my church Youth Choir. You saved me a couple of days I would have spent figuring it out and I got it done in a few hours instead, because of you. Thanks!

[@ignatiusdjumadiono3245]

Yes, you are right! by the way what video editor do you use ?

[@candaceford2107]

@@ignatiusdjumadiono3245 I used iMovie, the same as Chanel. I edited the audio separately in Garage Band because the singers weren't experienced enough to sing it as written and it need some tweaks.

How do you stay in sync with the other clips of yourself? Is there a click track or some kind of queue you're following? Or is your timing just phenomenal naturally?

[@chanelmusic5]

+TheBeatleswithanA I wish my timing was phenomenal naturally! I previously recorded the song. I have headphones that's hidden behind my hair and it's playing the track via my phone. Then in post edit, I line up each individual video.

[@dalestine3515]

This is a great tutorial! I want to do one with my choir from different locations so I am guessing I will have to make sure they are all singing to the same track (headphones probably best for less distortion in video, right?) - I'll have them send me their videos and hope I can put it all together. lol Thanks again, great teaching techniques.

[@ssppeellll]

This really helped me! I had come across this idea before, but didn't think it was a good way to go. You got me to re-think it, and showed very clearly how it could work. Thank you! By the way, I did one a bit differently: I had a main voice as the background. Then I added multiple others. You can add more than one clip each time, but not on top of each other.

[@danimmel6721]

Chanel! :) Thanks for putting this up. I learned a lot really fast from your video; the straight ahead approach of instruction is VERY effective for someone like me. :P If I can also contribute one little thing that can speed up your workflow for the lining up of the tracks.... we can use the audio track to see a graphic representation of the sound, especially when the parts are all supposed to be synchronized from the first note. Especially once you zoom in then the audio wave shapes are a great way to get closer without as much scrolling back and forth of the video lengths. Now I'm going to see if you have some other videos! :) Thanks again.

[@chanelmusic5]

+Dan Immel great suggestion! Thank you for that! Check out my channel ☺️ I have more videos coming!

[@SandeepAcharya4630]

Dan Immel, that's fine with figuring out the sound spikes graph and then integrating the the rest of the videos minus the sound. But something unique which I noticed here in the video is that by layering the five videos along with sound results like a chorus effect:)
