This page contains information about how to use PicPlayPost to create split-screen videos, and how to share your videos with the world. You can read through the step-by-step instructions below.

About PicPlayPost

PicPlayPost is our recommended application for creating a split-screen video performance of your finished arrangements. It will allow you to collage together videos of yourself singing along to the different vocal parts in your arrangement, and then attach your polished .mp3 as a soundtrack to create fun, shareable final projects.

You can find more information about PicPlayPost from the app developer here: PicPlayPost.

How to access the app

PicPlayPost is available on iOS and Android mobile devices. Download it directly to your phone or other mobile device from the App store (if you're using an Apple device) or Google Play (if you're using an Android device).

Please note that you will need to sign up for a Pro account in order to create split-screen videos that are longer than 1 minute. We recommend starting a free 14-day trial when you're ready to create your first video (Project 1F, Days 16-18), so that your trial will last until the end of the class. This way you can create videos for both of your arrangements for free.

Note that while you can record your videos on any device you'd like, you'll need to use a smartphone or mobile device to download and use PicPlayPost. We recommend recording your videos directly with your mobile device so you don't have to transfer them.

How to Make a Split-Screen Video

Record your videos

Open up your arrangement in your DAW so you can sing along to it while you're recording your videos.
- Make sure you have the count-in enabled to help you start singing at the right time.
Set up the camera you're going to use to record your videos, whether it's your phone's camera (recommended), a digital camera, your computer, etc. Make sure that you're positioned comfortably in front of the camera so that your face is clearly in frame.
Choose a voice part to record first, and start your video recording.
Start playing your arrangement from your DAW, with the count-in function enabled.
- Play your arrangement out loud when you record your videos — do not use headphones! This will help you sync up your videos perfectly when you're creating your split-screen video, and then you'll be able to mute the audio and play the polished .mp3 of your arrangement instead.
