What is the best way to do this? (hopefully an easy question)
Hi everyone. I suppose this may be a somewhat basic q. to some of you but I think its still a little bit more advanced than basics!
I’m looking to create an effect like on this site: https://prisonbreakdvd.com/PrisonBreak.html where there are 6-7 different video clips on the same screen. Obviously that isnt hard to do. But they seem to have blended the clips together quite seemlessly! What is the best way to do this? Even useing masks with feather I find it hard to get that natural and pleasing looking.
Can anyone help? Many thanks in advance.
Kisses,
Katie 🙂

One of the keys to this example is the use of color…
If you’re trying to do it with different ‘looks’ on the video it won’t seem seamless.
But you’re on the right track with feathered masks.

thanks for your reply. 🙂
so you are suggesting first the best thing to do is make sure all the colors “match”, like play around in color curves and such?
thanks 🙂

You also might try lower each Mask Opacity, and add an adjustment layer on top, then Adjust>Hue/Saturation and check the Colorize, then set to 200 degrees plus or minus to get that blue, and maybe even change the Saturation up a bit. Tweak away. Good luck.

thanks yikesmikes. 🙂
just to clarify: when you say an adjustment layer, is that where I tweak the color? sorry I’m kind of a newbie to this. 🙂

Layer>New>Adjustment Layer. It will be the top layer, then add your effect. It will effect all layers below it. y if you have layers you don’t want effected, precomp the adjustment layer and those you do want effected (Layer>Precompose – move all attributes), or add the same effect to only those layers you want effected. I was just testing the colorize so an adjustment layer was easiest.

Another simple way to get a uniform color is to use a solid on top of your other stuff and play with blendmodes. Overlay for instance has a natural tendency to turn your stuff blue-ish when used on blue and green solids, Hard Light works good with Reds and yellows.
