SUPERIMPOSE

i. Open the template as the background and your first image as the foreground. Put the image on screen or multiply under the transform tab and then merge. Do the same for the the other side of the template as well. If it overlaps the other side, just use the rectangle crop to erase what isn't needed. Merge.

ii. After you do this, upload your first PNG as the foreground and place at the top or bottom of the image. If their body overlaps the middle part, use the rectangle crop to crop it of course. Merge and then repeat for other person on the other side.

iii. Next, add any other textures you want to use now. I included one that I used in the add ons as well. After you are done, save and then filter to your desire. Open in Phonto. Add the tile like how you want it as pictured below, but don't save it just yet.

iv. Go to the three bars in the bottom left hand corner and press "add item" then, click the square and make it opposite of the black/white font you just used, and then fill the cover. Now save.

v. (This next part is hard to explain, so the video should help mostly with it.) Open the original image as the background and the one you just saved as the foreground. Use the color scale tool under the mask tab and erase all of the black. Next, put the image on overlay and turn the contrast all of the way down. Turn the colors either all of the way up or all of the way now, it's more a personal preference.

vi. Now, this is the tricky part. Save this image and then go to your add a new background tab. Click on the image that you JUST saved and make it the background. You will see the font get brighter. Repeat this step until you have it just the way you want it. After you do this, you're done!

COMMENTS

ah yes, I actually made another video (and yes, the title is a stranger things reference, holla)

bUT speaking of videos, I'm getting the hang of Final Cut Pro now and I even made a westallen video. I already posted it on instagram, but what do you guys think if I started posting edits on my youtube channel? Granted, it won't be that often, but I'd love to do it!

question; two of your most favorite characters are drowning. who are they and which one would you save?
