-: Okay, today we're going to do a split screen using Gimp, 3 3
and I'm going to try to recreate this particular image 4 4
that I used a while ago, Why Indonesia is the Best, 5 5
and I have two photos which I split in two. (laughs) 6 6
And I took these two images here, 7 7
I screenshotted them from YouTube, 8 8
and I'm going to bring them into Gimp, 9 9
so I click with two fingers, and Open With Gimp. 10 10
And I'll do that twice on these two files. 11 11
And here they are, 12 12
so I'll grab the other one, Open With Gimp. 13 13
Wonderful. 14 14
Now that I have my material ready in Gimp, 15 15
I'm going to go to Gimp, File, New. 16 16
And open up a file that is 1280 by 720, 17 17
open up a project, sorry. 18 18
1280, 720, okay. 19 19
Now, both of these, 20 20
I need to pull them both in, 21 21
so click on one and go, copy, 22 22
Control C, oh sorry, Command C, 23 23
and paste, Command V. 24 24
And that goes on the left side, so that's right, 25 25
but it's too big, so to make it smaller, 26 26
go to Layer, Scale Layer, 27 27
and yeah, I definitely want it quite a bit smaller, 28 28
so you can make it smaller by clicking on these arrows, 29 29
no, arrow down means making it smaller. 30 30
Let's check the size so far. 31 31
That's pretty good. 32 32
This Move tool will allow me to move it 33 33
a little bit more to the left. 34 34
And that seems good. 35 35
Now I'm going to take my other picture, 36 36
which is this dude over here, and Command C. 37 37
And I don't need that anymore, so I'm going to close that 38 38
so I don't get confused. (laughs) 39 39
This is my project that I want, 40 40
so Command V, paste, and now I need to make it smaller. 41 41
So Layer, Scale Layer, 42 42
and I'm just clicking on this arrow pointing down, 43 43
I'm not sure the exact size I want, 44 44
so it's trial and error here. 45 45
I want it a little bit smaller, 46 46
Layer, Scale Layer, move her down a little bit more, Scale. 47 47
And go to this Move tool and... 48 48
If it does that, it doesn't want to move, 49 49
it has that little thing on it, 50 50
that little no sign. 51 51
Just go to here, the Tool Options, 52 52
and just make sure you have this selected, 53 53
this first one, ah! 54 54
That's better. 55 55
Now, I might make him even a little bit smaller. 56 56
So I'm going to go back up to Layer, Scale Layer, 57 57
I'm going to press the downward arrow even more, 58 58
and I have the Move Tool still selected, 59 59
so let's see how that works. 60 60
That might be okay for me. 61 61
I don't want to make it so small that you can see 62 62
the cut off point here at the top, I don't want that. 63 63
So there we go, that'll work fine for today. 64 64
Now, I've got to cut this in half, 65 65
and in my original photo, I had a diagonal kind of cut. 66 66
So I'm going to go to the Eraser, 67 67
oh sorry, this is a floating selection still, 68 68
so I'm going to say Layer, To New Layer. 69 69
Very important. 70 70
That separates it, and so it doesn't get 71 71
stuck on to my background. 72 72
So now, if I take my Eraser tool over here, 73 73
I'm going to change my brush to this one, 74 74
and I'm going to increase the size of my brush 75 75
and again, it's an imperfect kind of line, 76 76
so it doesn't have to be super perfect. 77 77
I'm just going to click the Eraser tool, 78 78
and drag it diagonally up here, 79 79
and then continue to erase this entire corner of my image. 80 80
And as you can see now, I have two images split screen. 81 81
Now, if you wanted to have a perfect split screen, 82 82
like everyone is a perfect rectangle, 83 83
then you can just choose this 84 84
rectangle tool and bring it down, 85 85
and you can erase things either within it 86 86
or on either side, there's a way to do that, 87 87
so everything's perfect, 88 88
but I want an imperfect diagonal line this time. 89 89
So Select, no I don't want that. 90 90
Now, I had a little line going down the middle here, 91 91
which was, I believe, black, red and white. 92 92
So I'm going to start out with a thick black line, 93 93
using my Paintbrush tool, I'm going to make it 94 94
a little bit smaller, I don't want it this big, 95 95
so I'm going to decrease the size here, 96 96
that might be okay, and I'm going to just drag it, 97 97
drag it up. 98 98
Again, for this concept, I don't want it to be perfect, 99 99
so that's fine. 100 100
And now, I need a red line, 101 101
so I'm going to change the color here, 102 102
the foreground color, I'm going to choose red. 103 103
Going to make this a lot smaller, so maybe 30. 104 104
And do the same thing with my red, 105 105
and drag it up, 106 106
leaving a little bit of black on the corner, 107 107
because that's what I want. 108 108
Now I'm going to do the same thing with white. 109 109
Now, the white here is in the background, 110 110
so if you just click on this little arrow thing 111 111
it'll switch those up and bring white to the front. 112 112
So I don't have to go in and choose another color, 113 113
it's already there, and now, click, and paint it right over, 114 114
again, leaving a little bit of black 115 115
on the outside edge there. 116 116
And we're done. 117 117
Now, if you're not happy with this, 118 118
you can always go in again and touch it up a little bit. 119 119
Let's say I think the red here is a little wobbly, (laughs) 120 120
so I could go back to black, 121 121
decrease the size here, 122 122
of the brush, I could even zoom in 100% 123 123
and really do a good job. 124 124
Or just do it from here, you know what I mean? 125 125
So yeah, you could totally fix this up a little bit 126 126
if it's not to your liking, 127 127
but I like it imperfect, as you know. 128 128
So now that we're done here, 129 129
all I have to do is either export and finish, 130 130
or maybe I want to play with the colors. 131 131
So if I did want to play with the colors, 132 132
you can, of course, go to Colors up here, 133 133
and change the Brightness Contrast, 134 134
or you could just leave it. 135 135
I think I just left it at that time. 136 136
I'm getting a comedy vibe from this, so we're good. 137 137
And now I go to File, Save, 138 138
because I want to save my Gimp file, 139 139
in case I want to change this later, 140 140
so Save, split telephone, 141 141
because it was telephone conversation, 142 142
call it whatever you like, guys! (laughs) 143 143
And then I want to export it, Export As, 144 144
and the file I want is a JPEG. 145 145
So split telephone JPEG, Export. 146 146
And that's going to be my finished thumbnail. 147 147
Let me just go in here and pull it up. 148 148
And this is my finished product, 149 149
and this was a thumbnail that worked for me. 150 150
Split screens can work for anybody, 151 151
and there's all kinds of different ways to do them. 152 152
So now that you know how I did this one, 153 153
hopefully you can create your own!
