Drag your video onto the timeline. Prefer a video that has one dancer in the song. If you have more people in the video, you will have to do more masking. So to make things easier, just start with one dancer.

Bring the video on top one more time so you will have the same video on two different tracks. Find out where you want the rotation transition to happen. Before the dancer makes his arm up, on the top video you will cut.

How to Create Magic Mask Music Videos

What you need to prepare:

  • A computer (Windows or macOS)

Step 3
Mark Points for Rotation Effect

See your video thoroughly and find the points where you want to add your rotation effect. Mark the points by hitting ‘M’ on your keyboard. For example, we need to add rotation when the dancer brings his arms up.

Step 4
Separate Subject from the Background

To separate your subject from the background, Go to Effects > AI portrait > human segmentation effect and drag it down on the segment. If you hide the first track then you will have the human subject only. Double-click on the effect and adjust the intensity of the effect. Don’t forget to feather out the edges of the video to give a more natural look.

Step 5
Add Transitions

Go to the transitions menu > Warp > Wormhole effect (you can add any transition depending on your video type and preferred rotation effect setting)

Find the point to mark the second point where you want the effect to appear. Make cuts and split the video accordingly. Here you need to rotate the screen, once towards the left and once towards the right. Hit ‘M’ on your video to mark the points where you need the frames.

Double-click and go to the animation section to add the keyframes where everything is normal. Use the bars to adjust the rotation and move the keyframes accordingly.

Do this for the rest of your marked points. To enhance the scene in the video, go to animation and zoom in by adjusting the X and Y scale.

Don’t forget to get rid of the extra parts of the video. Go to animation > presets > fade out the ends. Mark a point where you want the fade-out to begin and add the fade-out to that section of the video.

Step 6
Export and Add Effects

Once you have your base effects onto your videos, now it’s time to add some cool effects to your video. Hit export and export your footage. Create a new project and bring in your base video down to the timeline. Make the cuts where you initially added the effects. And split the sections by bringing them onto the top track.

Go to effects > AI portrait > add clone effect of your own choice for instance Clone 1. Drag it down onto the section where you cut. This way you will have a multiple dancers effect.

For the second section, add a clone glitch effect so the multiple dancer effects are enhanced by a glitch.

Type Cinema in the effects menu to add cinematic bar effects which most of the cool video songs contain. Drag it above all your other videos. Match the duration of the effect with other videos to make the video cleaner. Double-click and adjust the intensity of the effect.

Step 7
Add Transitions

Go to the transitions menu > Speed Blur > Warp zoom effect. (You can add any other transition of your choice). Add the transition in between the videos to tie them together. Make sure to adjust the duration of the effect.

Summary

The multiple effects added to your music videos can boost your audience engagement and take your editing skills to a professional level. Although these effects seem difficult, trying them out on a single subject in the video, you can start practicing with multiple dancers as well.
