Man: Let's talk about 3 3
how to use the split screen strategy 4 4
with Pixelmator Pro. 5 5
So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna import an image 6 6
that I used in a vlog recently. 7 7
I created a vlog on how to teach people 8 8
how to be better investors, 9 9
and I used the analogy of fishing. 10 10
If I give a person a fish, they'll eat for a day. 11 11
Teach them how to fish, they'll eat for a lifetime. 12 12
So then copy that and paste it here, 13 13
and what I'll do is I'll select this arrow here, 14 14
and I'll scroll way, way out, and I'll grab this image, 15 15
and I'll make it about half the size 16 16
of this image here roughly. 17 17
Yeah, that's good enough. Okay, great. 18 18
And then what I'll do is I'm gonna add text on this side, 19 19
as the screen is split. 20 20
In the background, I wanna actually 21 21
have probably the same color as here, yellow, 22 22
so it bleeds over nicely, 23 23
and so I'll select background layer. 24 24
Then I'll select the paint can, 25 25
and then I'll select the color right there. 26 26
Good, so now what I have to do is I have to insert text, 27 27
and what I wanna do, actually, is I'm not gonna use 28 28
the opposites on the color wheel strategy here, 29 29
but I'm gonna use text that matches the color here. 30 30
So I'll insert text. 31 31
Let me just select this arrow so I can move the text around. 32 32
Double click, and I'll make it all caps, as usual. 33 33
How to be a better investor. 34 34
Okay, grab this again, and I will pull this over here. 35 35
I made it too big, actually, via the font size, 36 36
so let me go down here to type, T, 37 37
and I'll make the font size a lot smaller. 38 38
It's already bold, which is what I like. 39 39
Let me actually go 120, see how that looks. 40 40
Okay, better. 41 41
And let me actually see 42 42
if I can put the words "be" and "a" on the same line. 43 43
Okay, that's fine. Okay, cool. 44 44
And then what I wanna do 45 45
is I wanna match a color from over here, 46 46
so I will grab this paintbrush, or this teardrop, sorry, 47 47
and let me grab this dark blue. 48 48
Cool, looks nice. 49 49
Let me put a bit of a background around it, 50 50
or an outline I should say, 51 51
and I'm gonna grab this brown color here. 52 52
So I'm gonna go here, and I'm gonna select stroke. 53 53
We're gonna put a stroke around it. 54 54
And the color, I'm gonna select this one here. 55 55
And I'll make the stroke with slightly, slightly more... 56 56
I like that look. Looks good. 57 57
We'll add a shadow, just a very, very slight shadow. 58 58
I like to blur it a bit so it gets a bit of a 3D pop, 59 59
and I like to keep the opacity a little bit lower, 60 60
and that should be good. 61 61
That's good. Okay, great. 62 62
And let's export this image. File, export. 63 63
And we can see that the size is going to be 481 kilobits, 64 64
and we'll call it split screen JPG, that's JPEG, 65 65
and the reason I throw this on here, 66 66
is because sometimes people, 67 67
when they look on their computers 68 68
at the files they've downloaded, 69 69
they won't see the extension, and I want you to know 70 70
that this is actually the JPEG that we're exporting. 71 71
So we'll select export, 72 72
and let's go take a look at that file. Here it is here. 73 73
It's 481 kilobits, and if we open it up, it looks great. 74 74
Cool. 75 75
If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks.
