It can be achieved with roto.
I don’t know about the video, but at the time when you want to make you actor split into two, You can use some Effect like turbulence displacement, etc so that the split procedure look good.
We can also shoot the actor with chroma so roto that we can skip roto step.
If the two moves exactly the same way that means you just have to duplicate the actor footage and Flip it Horizontally.
If the two moves in different way then we have to shoot two times with the movements we want.
I have n’t seen the video so I can’t what effect to use while splitting the actor but something which will distract the mind from the minor adjustments of the two footage will work.

Ted has given the best way to do it.
In such cases, using white solid as matte is the best way.

Learning from internet is one of the best way to improve your knowledge.
There are plenty of websites and tutorials that will help you to understand how and why to use which thing where at the right time.
But make sure not to lean just software. Make you basics of color theory(color harmony, color contrast), lighting(mood of lighting,etc), direction(continuity, composition,etc) and other skill very strong.
Your dream is to be a Director so must know about each and everything from Pre production to Post Production including all the procedures.
Here are some websites which may help you to learn different things:
You will get almost everything you must know about direction, production, pre and post production.

For learning 3D, you can take courses from Digital Tutorials as they make one of the best tutorials specially for 3d.

Always keep yourself updated with the market. You must know What software, plugins, camera, rigs, lights, etc are available in the market and whats the differences between them.
But always keep in mind, Strong you basics first and then move ahead towards the advance level.
Don’t be panic by looking at all the stuff you need to know. Start slowly and steadily and you will reach you goal definitely.
You can join also some College if you feel you can learn better somewhere else but be very cautious while choosing one.

I always prefer to make a Custom Template for RGB + Alpha.
While in Render Queue, Click on the Small arrow head and select make Template. Edit the settings with RGB + Alpha.
Now, Now can also make this default Output Module and by Pressing Cntl/Cmnd while selecting it form the menu.

Delete you Prefs File and may be this will sort out this problem.
For doing so,
Hold Cnlt/Cmnd + Alt/Option + Shift while AE starts. A pop will come to delete prefs file.Vishesh Arora

Adobe Bridge will do this job. Just Copy all the Project folders into one New Folder and then Open Adobe Bridge though AE. Now, Browse to the directory of your New Folder and Drag it to the Favorites Collection.Whenever you will open Bridge next time, You New Folder will be there to access easily from Favorites Collection.
By this you can simply Preview all the images and Video files right there in Bridge. Also you can Import the project file.Vishesh Arora
