Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare Your Clips
To get started, you will need to shoot two clips from the same location in front of a mirror:
- First Clip: In this clip, you will wash your hands. Make sure to frame it properly to capture your reflection clearly.

2. Import and Transform Your Clips
- Open the Enlight Videoleap application.
- Tap the plus (+) icon to add your first clip.
- Select Transform to adjust the first clip so it fills the screen properly.
- Now add your second clip using the same process. Ensure it also fills the screen.
3. Create the Mask
- After adding both clips, go back and tap on Mask.
- Choose the Rectangle option.
- Adjust the mask's size to fit precisely over the person in the mirror from the first clip.
- Position the mask carefully to ensure it does not reveal how the effect is achieved.
4. Add Filters
- Deselect your clip, and tap to add a filter.
- Choose a filter that complements your footage and enhances the illusion. Experiment with different options until you're satisfied.
5. Final Touches
Now that you've set up your clips and the mask, play the video! Observe how the reflection might not behave as expected, showcasing a fun, intriguing visual trick.
