1. Record the first part of your video and end at the “transition moment” (i.e. the snap, palm covering the camera, etc.)
2. Remember where you finished the video so you can start the next one at exactly the same point.
3. Make the change you want… a new location, a new outfit, a different make-up…

5. Touch the check mark to go to the editing screen.
6. Here, you can trim the videos to further refine the effect if needed.

Tip pro: You can use the timer and a tripod or ring light to record hands-free.
