This SCARY EFFECT is NOT DIFFICULT! (Premiere Pro Tutorial)

Jordy Vandeput 45K views

Learn how to create a super scary advanced haunted mirror effect in this adobe premiere pro tutorial video.

Not just a haunted mirror effect!

We all know how to make the awesome classic haunted mirror effect. You know, the effect where your reflection in the mirror is different. You can do that by simply filming two videos of you acting different. Then in Premiere Pro, all you need to do is draw a mask around the mirror.

It's important to shoot this from a tripod, because you want both shots to be at the exact same location.

What? A haunted Towel?

Absolutely! You can make a floating towel in Premiere pro by duplicating the mirror shot. Then create a mask around the towel and animate it frame by frame until you're at the end of the video. If you have acces to Adobe After Effects, you can also rotoscope the towel from your video.
