Before recording, go through the motions of what you want your subject to do in the scene, from beginning to end.
Step 1
Ask your subject to clap their hands and then move completely out of the frame.
Step 2
Practise — or run through — the action a few times, from start to end.
Now that you have everything in place, you’ll capture the one shot that you’ll use to create a disappearing effect.
Step 1
Tap Record .
Step 2
Call “Action” to start the scene.
Step 3
After your subject has clapped their hands and cleared the frame, record for three more seconds.
Step 4
Tap Stop to quit recording.
Step 5
To review your first take, tap the thumbnail. It will play automatically.
Step 6
Capture two more takes to have some options.
Tip
Try changing the action from clapping to clicking fingers or jumping.
