I have hesitated doing multi-screen videos because the process seemed so difficult. Your explanations and instructions were absolutely spot on for me and I will now be doing many multi screen videos. I'm a tubist and put weekly videos up performing music, your help has been wonderful, thank you!
This is by far the clearest tutorial I've seen on how to create a multi-screen video using iMovie. Thanks so much! Hoping to do this with my school pupils this month as we can't be together to perform for end of year events - hopefully I know what to do now!
Excellent content, no annoying background music and very slowly and clearly explained, thank you so much, I feel confident to make a split screen video for my trio now 🙏🙏🙏
Dr. Lynn Kuo, you are also fantastic at this musical computer editing as well! But, I have Windows PC, NOT Apple Computer, therefore, is there any way you can do the same "How To: MULTI-SCREEN Music video," both same person playing Violin and playing piano accompaniment at once, on a Windows PC Laptop version, please? Because... I really don't know this and want to try, as there are almost none available on youtube help videos... Is there any way, Dr. Lynn Kuo... Please? Thank you so much...
I’m so sorry, Eun! I’m not a computer tutorial expert person by any means and only have a MacBook. So sorry! But thanks for reaching out and for watching my video! I hope you will be able to find a good tutorial soon!
Lynn Kuo Awesome, you rock!! I’ll post it here as soon as i finish it. btw the song is in spanish, but it’s more about the uke anyway. cool now i have extra motivation :)))
I’m not entirely sure but I’m pretty certain you won’t be able to access many features on the mobile app version. I’ve tried to do simple tasks on the app and gave up. 🤷🏻♀️
If you mean the overlay options, you need to drag in a second clip into the timeline (on top of the first clip). After you do so, you will see that option appear.
I often have a difficult time lining up my clips. I use a clap and can easily see the spiky sound wave, but sometimes the clips refuse to line up and seem to jump slightly ahead or behind where I want them. Then my clips are slightly out of sync. How do I prevent this from happening? Thanks!
Sometimes I find that the video clips were recorded at different video rates (for example, 29.97 frames per second versus 30 frames/second) that leads to audio drift. If you internet search "iMovie audio sync drift" (or something similar, there are several videos that are useful). I also find it helpful to clap 3 times so it's easier to see the 3 spikes in the audio (instead of just 1 spike).
I also have that same problem, Dennis. I couldn't figure out if there was a "snap" setting in iMovie or not. Other people were having the same problem where the both clips were just a bit offset. Cant remember if I tried "iMovie precision editor". This video was also helpful (th-cam.com/video/roFZmxZK7hk/w-d-xo.html)
It's unbelievable for me that it is so tedious to do in imovie. Garage band is the most simple and logical audio app. why doesn't imove just have a "multiscreen"-option? it would be so natural for an ios program. still love the tutorial!!
Can't wait to watch this... I'm about to shoot the video for a full 19-piece Latin jazz big band (my composition/arrangement), with me playing every horn part (except for one sax track)! I will definitely need your video for help once I start editing! Unfortunately, almost every track was recorded without the video being shot simultaneously... I edited this video (and shot a few of its "scenes"), but this was mostly live off the floor footage with the full big band... very different scenario than this upcoming video (Juno Nominated album): th-cam.com/video/F3-TUN7AQbU/w-d-xo.html
There's no way this is the correct method of doing multi-screen videos. Having to export the entire video for each screen and then reimport is tremendously circuitous. And since everyone's doing these videos, I doubt they're all going to that much hassle. I've seen videos with 12 screens. There must be some method to do a second overlay.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL. It is the best "How To: Multi-Screen Video" I've found on TH-cam. It is VERY helpful.

Very helpful! Thanks!

Slow and clear, why can't everyone explain like this 😆 Thanks!!!
Thanks!! I appreciate you leaving such positive feedback! :D :D
The CLAP tip was great. That's the same principle for lining up overlapping images on silkscreen projects with an "X".
Yes! My father reminded me of this tip. 🙂Actually three claps 🎬 is better than one. Easier to find visually. 👀
@@violynnkuo Makes sense; thanks

Hi! How did you do the little screen of you speaking over the video in the far right bottom?
I used the program called ScreenFlow. (Good question!)
And thanks for watching, by the way!
Thank you! @@violynnkuo

very helpful, thank you! and nice side kick!
Thanks, Cam! The side kick 🥋 was unnecessary for the tutorial but hey, I was already warmed up. 🦵 😂

Is there a way to do this on iMovie app for phone??
I’m not entirely sure but I’m pretty certain you won’t be able to access many features on the mobile app version. I’ve tried to do simple tasks on the app and gave up. 🤷🏻♀️
I do not have the thing on left side of the color balance, how can I have it?
If you mean the overlay options, you need to drag in a second clip into the timeline (on top of the first clip). After you do so, you will see that option appear.
Is it possible to make 12 split screens on iMovie? Thank you.
I’ve never done up to 12 musicians but I assume it’s absolutely possible. It will just be more time-consuming.
This was amazing work but Is it an App name iMovie pls tell me I did not found this app name and is it working on Mobile pls tell me dear 😭
thanks, really helpful, video like :)
So glad it was helpful!
I love u my queen
Thanks very much Lynn. You cute lady!
You’re very welcome, Tim!
When I Press crop it Doesn’t give Me The Option To Crop My Video Vertically or Horizontally 😩
What happens if you don't have a video overlay button?
You need to drag in a second clip into the timeline (on top of the first clip). After you do so, you should see that option appear. I hope that works!
My crop doesnt work that way for some reason.
Hmm, perhaps you're working from a newer version of iMovie?

Dennis Gurwell Hi Dennis, hmm, have you tried zooming in on the timeline to allow for more precision? That usually has worked for me.
Sometimes I find that the video clips were recorded at different video rates (for example, 29.97 frames per second versus 30 frames/second) that leads to audio drift.
If you internet search "iMovie audio sync drift" (or something similar, there are several videos that are useful).

"I don't play harmonica". LOL.
Thanks for the helpful video.
Hahaha, maybe I should have incorporated footage of me doing an interpretive dance! 😂
It's really helpful video but apple should upgrade the imovies so that we do not have to export everytime for spliting screen.
I totally agree!
what hell ... my imovie dont have picture in picture mode! :-(
What version is your iMovie?
@@violynnkuo 10.3.2
@@noerom Mine is 10.1.14... Hmm, maybe after the updates, things are different? I'm not too sure. Sorry!
@@violynnkuo ok tanx
Thanks for the tutorial, but how stupid is that. Not being able to split in Imovie without having to export multiple times.
Agreed! There needs to be an easier way in iMovie!
@@violynnkuo My comment wasnt against you btw, just a complaint about Imovie :)

On other video editing software for sure. On iMovie, I’m not aware. Please share if you discover how?
I didn't find this useful. She talks some stuff really detailed but then the important stuff she mumbles and the cursor fly all over the place.
Soooo helpful! Thank you for doing this!
